11 months old
This was when he was 10 months old. Since he started crawling at the beginning of February, he's just gotten faster and faster. He loves to try to chase the kitties, but they are too smart for him. He still loves trying to catch them, though.
He has been more and more interested in trying to feed himself, which means his feedings are getting more and more messy. I think this one above was baby food green beans.
And this one was black beans. I squish them in my fingers and he just goes to town. He loves them!
He also loves bath time. Frankie is very curious, but is careful to stay out of the way of little baby hands. As I said above, Joshua just LOVES the cats and laughs at them when ever he sees them.
I love me a baby in overalls!
Yesterday I put a little gel in his hair to see how high it would stand up. Later that afternoon we went to my brother's house (they have clippers) to give Joshua his first haircut. Well, technically, his first haircut was when he was about a week old in the hospital and they had to shave part of the side of his head to put a PICC line in.
Here we go, getting ready. Joshua doesn't look so sure about the whole thing. He was actually in a pretty cranky mood to start with. He didn't get his afternoon nap, and he was tired. I held him in my lap and Adam buzzed his head as best he could, considering all the screaming and squirming.
Sad faces!
Since the clippers were out, Kevin and Brandie decided to give Ryan a haircut, too. He had already had one before, and he just sat there calmly, showing Joshua what's what. After dinner, they were both pretty tired and cranky and in no mood to play together.
After a little while, they warmed up and played for a little while until it was time to leave.
11 months old today!
I noticed the other day that he has another tooth coming in. It's the bicuspid on the top right. That explains why he's been so drooly lately. Joshua loves to use his teeth to bite anything in his reach, including my legs, arms and shoulders. Usually he doesn't bite very hard, but lately, he's been digging in a little harder, and it's starting to hurt. I know it's just a game and a way to interact for him and that there is no malice behind it, but we're trying to teach him not to bite. Hopefully he will learn soon. He also loves practicing his ninja skills by coming from nowhere to swipe our glasses off our faces. He loves to crawl and pull himself up onto anything he can reach. He hates to be confined and always wants to be on the move. He cruises along things holding on with just one hand, and sometimes he lets go and balances by himself before grabbing a hold again or falling down.
I can't believe how fast he's growing up!
I love the look of your blog- you have changed it a little bit! Joshua looks great and we will keep him in our prayers as the surgery nears!!!
