11 months old!

Today was a great day to turn 11 months old -- it was mid-80's with a light breeze and we got a good dose of sunshine and vitamin D. I can actually believe that the winter is over and that summer is just around the bend...

The big news is that Riley has broken his third tooth. It's the top right one and we caught a pic of it when Riley was hanging upside down today:














All this teething means that his bath toys have become some of his favorites to chew on. He chomps on this plastic starfish and drool runs down his chin, neck and collar and he's happy 'bout it.



















The other thing he's been doing this past week is crawling with his feet instead of his knees. It used to be he'd just do this with his right leg, but now he's doing it with both. He doesn't show much interest in walking. He does cruise around the furniture, but only if he's not heading anywhere special. If he's got his eye on something he wants, then he drops to a crawl and pulls himself back up at his destination point.




















He loves to pull himself up to things and he seems quite comfortable with standing and using one hand to stabilize himself.

Other than that, not much has changed other than he's heavier (23#) and outgrowing his 12 mo clothes. We managed to squeeze him into this cute little plaid number to get a picture with Pooh bear. I like how he looks all casual and at ease with a hand on Pooh's shoulder:















Countdown to May 23rd officially begins....

We love our boy!
