11 months old

Our little man turned 11 months on our 2 year wedding anniversary. It is amazing how one little person can add so much love and joy to our family. It is bittersweet to watch him grow - I love each new stage that he has but I sometimes wish we could freeze "this moment in time" and keep him how he is. He is such a funny little person. He makes us laugh like in these pictures where he was eating whole wheat spaghetti for dinner with us one night. He loved it and proceeded to decorate himself inside and outside with the noodles.

He is cruising around all the furniture, and I have found him standing on his own a couple times. He is a little man on the move! He is so curious and loves to see all that is going on his world around him. Sometimes that curiosity is not so welcome as he loves to put anything and everything in his mouth.

• Favorite foods: we are so thankful that he is a good eater - he loves any vegetable and fruit that we have given to him, yogurt, cottage cheese, string cheese, dried banana slices, oatmeal

• Favorite activities: riding in his Burley bike trailer behind me or David, reading books (only sits still for half a book at a time), watching Veggietales or BabyPraise DVD, following me and David all around the house, cruising along the furniture, brushing his teeth at night
  

• He has 8 teeth now (4 on bottom and 4 on top)

• At the doctor's last week, he weighted 18 lb. 12 oz. - he is currently battling eczema, so we have washed all his clothes in All Free and Clear hoping that will help. We are also having to put antibiotic cream and hydrocortisone cream on irritated areas.

• He has been doing so good at the nursery at church - we have been visiting several churches, and he has done well each time. He never cries when we leave him - he cries 20 minutes into the service and when he gets worked up, he is difficult to console
  

He loves to open and close cabinets

When Trey sleeps, he sleeps hard!

David came in after doing some yardwork and found Trey asleep in his exersaucer - he still likes to play in that

We went to Wickenburg one Saturday and visited my friend Cheryl. It was her first time to meet Trey, and we had fun visiting together. We went to where my old apartment was and Trey and I put our feet in the pool (Trey wanted to jump in). We went to my old favorite place in Wickenburg - the Cowboy Cafe - and had a Cowboy burger. Then we had coffee at the Pony Espresso.

Eating a lemon for the first time - he made funny faces but kept licking it so I guesseds he liked it
