Briton my little bubba - you are 11 months old and counting! You never cease to amaze me with how smart you're getting, how silly you are, and how constantly happy you are!!!
You are WALKING!!! You officially started walking at about 10 1/2 months old - and now nothing is slowing you down. You get up off the ground all by yourself and you are already to the point where you would rather walk everywhere then crawl at all. You have also said your first word during these passed few months. You have always said the word "dada." - but we weren't quite sure if that was just baby talk or the real thing. So...your dad has spent the last few weeks going over and over the word "ball" with you. Then, you finally said it. BALL is your first word and now you say it whenever you see one! You also love to wave bye-bye. You kind of pick and choose who you want to wave to, but you know what it means to say bye-bye!
I think your favorite part of the day is bath time. Once you hear that water running in the bathroom, you take off to see if it's for you! The only thing is that I wish you would just play with your toys while taking a bath - all you want to do is stand up and grab whatever you can reach. Briton - this is not safe and you make mama's heart skip a beat sometimes. You have also started to make the silliest little face. You wrinkle up your nose, show your teeth and start to laugh and laugh. It is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen and I love when you do it.
Along with walking, these passed few weeks have brought a lot of bumps and bruises your way! You seem to always have some kind of battle wound - but you're a little tough dude and you get through it. Daycare has also been in full swing for a while now, and last month you caught a case of the pink-eye! It didn't seem to bother you at all - not until we had to put the drops in your eyes. Oh my goodness was that a struggle!
We have kept you busy with all sorts of things these passed few months. You have watched some Husker games, played with your cousins, celebrated some birthday's, went for bike rides and hung out with some friends!
Briton - you are going to be ONE next month! It has been so incredible to watch you grow into a little boy! You are our little blessing that I pray continues to grow up healthy and full of joy!
