11 months and so cool....

Dane is now 11 months old and he is so close to walking. The other day he walked across our living room floor from myself over to Jacob. He is really trying to master it too. The other morning he would crawl over to his toy, stand up, walk to me and then do it all over again. It is like he knew he was practicing. He has also turned into the king of injuries. That kid always has some sort of scratch, bump, or bruise going on and right now he has all 3 on his face alone. There is no denying that this kid is all boy!

Now that he is 11 months he pretty much thinks he can do things all by himself. He will not let me feed him from a spoon at all. If he can't pick it up and feed himself then he just wont eat it most of the time. He seems to really enjoy meat in particular. The pediatrician said it is uncommon for a child his age to love meat but he does. Right now he is fighting a cold so he is not eating much. I think he would live off of goldfish if I would let him. The other night he found a container of them in my purse and he tossed it around the room over and over until they started falling out of the container and then he would eat them and toss it around more waiting on more to fall out.

The kid has so much energy it is unreal. The parents as teachers visitor we had couldn't believe how active he was. He had one 15 min nap all day long and his visit was at 3. Towards the end of the visit Jacob actually got him to sit for a couple minutes while he read him a book and she said "If I had not seen it with my own eyes I would not have believed he could do it." You would think that he would sleep better since he runs all day long but he is not. He is still getting up at least once a night to eat. Lately it has been around 3 am which is earlier and he is even going to bed between 8 to 8:30 now.

Surgery was postponed again. The night before he came down with a fever. I ended up taking him to the doctor and he had an ear infection and a cold. I noticed last night that he has two more teeth coming in on top as well so I guess those are all legitimate reasons to be fussy. :) We are now rescheduled to do his surgery on the 2nd of November.
