Andrew: 11 months

Since you no longer spit up we've let you take a stab at crawling up the stairs. Things were a bit rocky at first but once it clicked you started giggling and breathing excitedly as you scurried upward.

You cruise along furniture like it's your day job. You gracefully lower yourself from standing nowdays. No more plopping down without control. Your ability to get down to the ground easily makes me wonder whether you'll feel the need to start walking anytime soon. You have crawled longer than your older siblings and are by far the fastest of the bunch.

Slowly you are learning to fend for yourself. When Kate steals from you it makes you fuss. And you totally start crying when Vince tries to lug you around the house. You aren't saying all the sounds like you used to. You never say buh buh buh anymore. And mommmm is rare... usually just when we're being a little too slow at dinner time. You babble dah dah dah dah at everything. It's cute to hear you add syllables though. When you see a banana you purposefully say dah, dah dah to mimic me saying BUH nana.

Still only 2 teeth. Your top two teeth are visible through your gums but they're being stubborn and haven't broken through the skin yet. I wish they would so you could stop fussing!

You're getting a bit more difficult at church. You usually refuse to nap in arms unless you're truly exhausted. On the days you won't nap at church you just take one giant nap afterward. I haven't been able to get to you nap like that during the week, but man I cannot wait for you to take one huge nap everyday!

You got sick and threw up for the first time. We wonder if you're allergic to eggs because that's primarily what you puked. It was sad and you took three baths in one night.

Love you so much, Little Dude!
