Well here we are at a shiny 11 1/2 months!! My baby boy is almost a year old. I really haven't time to reflect on that, so I will just give stats. We have 4 teeth all the way in and we are working on #5-7 right now. I can see 5, and 6 peeking through. We have been commando crawling since 10 1/2 months, and as of late he has been starting to get on knees and try to lift himself up on things. I feel its gonna happen soon- uh oh!! B/c after that is walking- my baby walking.. Totally weird!
In terms of talking we say "daddadadada" and "mamamamamma" and "yea" and "le-ah" and various other things. I am starting (and by starting meaning did it tonight) to do what things are (this is your nose, this is your ear, etc), so as he is learning his sounds, he can connect them to things.
He loves to be social, but still has a bit of seperation anxiety. I know I have a full blown case of it, I hate when strangers come up and try to talk to him, touch him, etc. We easily get stopped 5-10xs/day for people commenting on his red hair, and I don't truly enjoy it, but am learning to live with it!!
He now crawls everywhere and opens/touches everything. We have half baby proofed but its more like constant vigilence at this point, and once when he starts walking/running, its gonna be a totally different story. But he is never left alone, and is always in the same room with me (b/c I follow him to various rooms) so we can stop something before it starts.
He loves all our animals and wants to play with them, but at this point they just get annoyed and leave... Who knows if that will change! I like that they leave if they don't want to be there b/c then they won't swat him or something. He loves cell phones, remote controls, basically everything he can get his hands on.
I start my job this week so my parents are watching him this week, and he will be in daycare for the next 10 weeks. I have been having a very TOUGH time with this (including but not limited to panic attacks, etc), but I'm just gonna live through it and survive it and hope it goes well. He will be in the same building as me so I can come pop my head in (which I will 100% do), so that makes me feel a bit better. As long as I know he is in a safe environment then its ok...
Well, I think thats it for now. Am attempting to get my health in shape for child #2, in t-9 months!! Be good all!
