I have an 11 month old...weird

I can't believe that Shiloh is almost 1 year old! Where did the time go? He really is such a great kid. This past month has been a bit of a challenge for us, but Shiloh is learning and growing all of the time. Some of his favorite past times include, turning pages in books as fast as he can, playing with and pulling out all of the canned goods in my cupboards, learning to climb, putting things in his mouth and crawling with them like a puppy, bath time, and anything that has to do with outside. His favorite toys to play with are probably books and stuffed animals, chapstick, paperclips, the printer, and cans and his toothbrush as long as he is the one holding it and no one is trying to actually brush his teeth. He is terribly afraid of any toy that makes noise. So much so that we ended up throwing one of his stuffed animals away(it sang the abc's... i know...very scary) because every time he saw it he would whimper. We ended up nick naming it "the Chucky dog". He weighs just a little over 20 pounds as of last week per the doctor when we took him in and he had strep. His favorite foods include spicy foods, beans, fish, bananas, anything squash related, and he has been on a pea kick lately as well. He is a professional turbo crawler as of late. He also can stand unassisted if you trick him into it. He can walk along and climb up on anything, but he is still too scared to walk. Kenny and I had fun trying to get him to take one step last night between us. It worked a couple of times. He says mama and dada and most of the time doesn't call the wrong thing those names. He also says " Na na na na na" very loudly when he is angry or doesn't want something. I think he is really trying to say No not na, but we can wait for that word to be correct I think. He has also started to be quite cuddly and will come up to you and give snuggles for no reason and then go back to playing. He gives open mouth kisses which are very cute and very disgusting all at the same time. I sure love this little guy. He is a handful and that will hopefully keep me young and not give me gray hairs, but either way I will take it!

This is an example of one of Shiloh's fave ways to sleep. We call it "the stink bug"

An example of him carrying something in his mouth like a puppy. He is such a cute little goof.

He discovered balloons this month and LOVES them. He was very disappointed that it was no longer floating when he woke up the next morning.

Yes...he is still a major drooler and has a total of 6 teeth currently.

I love you little Shiloh. I am so glad that you are my little guy!
