  • Started stuffing his Aden and Anais blankets in his mouth (like it's a wad of Big League Chew gum) in order to fall asleep.
  • Drank through a straw.
  • Transitioned to 2 naps a day.


  • Shy around strangers




8 months:

11 months:

  • Stands on his own. 
  • First haircut.
  • Throws food he's down with on the floor.
  • Said Dada and Seth
  • Refuses to do tricks more than 3-4 times.  Once we know he can do them, he doesn't do them anymore.

  • Clicked his tongue to let us know he wanted food.











13 months:

I got a giggle out of the blankets being stuffed in his mouth and looking like a wad of Big League Chew gum.

I also got a giggle out of him understanding the phrase, "What's in your mouth?" It made me laugh because, "Oh, if I had a dime for every time I asked one of my kids that..."

You are so wise to have put all of this on the blog. I still need to compile John's.
