oliver jack is 11 months old!!!


list of adorable things he does at 11 months old:



  • blows kisses

  • hugs (he thinks making the "uumph" sound is hugging)

  • gives sloppy open mouth kisses (both harper and calvary puckered up and never did the cutesy open mouth kisses)

  • waves backwards (again, a first for me because harper and calvary mastered the proper wave technique and never did the textbook baby wave)

  • pretends to go night night

  • pretends to talk on the phone

  • says "da da" discriminately

  • says "ma ma" discriminately

  • says something that sounds similar to "jack jack"

  • points and grunts to get his point across

  • drinks from a straw

  • feeds himself pretty well with a spoon

  • potty trained...just kidding

  • lights up when he sees either his brother or sister for the first time of the day

  • plays baby with harper and participates nicely as she forces him to lay down and hold teddy bears and pretend to sleep and eat pretend food and wear baby doll clothes

  • smells people's feet and pretends like the stink...watch out if you do not have shoes on because he likes to smell with his mouth.

  • puts hats on his head

  • plays with cars and balls most of the time

  • "reads" books
  • barks like a dog
  • tweets like a bird


not so cute things he does:



  • stalks anyone that goes to the kitchen

  • eats twice as much (seriously) as both of my other kids...not when they were his age, but now....he eats twice as much as they do now...

  • insatiable hunger makes mealtimes annoying

  • if a door is left open, he will find a bathroom and he will play in the toilet.

  • thinks "no" is a funny word only meant to encourage the behavior he is doing.

the cute list is definitely longer...so i'll take it :) he is the greatest baby and he is so loved by everyone in this family! what a blessing he is to all of us!
