11 Months

....it's kinda scary to type 11 months. At 10 months I thought, wow, double digits! And at 11 months I think, no, I want my baby baby back!

Just one month to go until Isaac's 1st birthday. Yes, we're planning a grand birthday party for him and you're all invited. But before that happens, let's remember all the leaps Isaac has taken in just this month...wow!

• Isaac can walk!
• Isaac can climb on couches and low beds and stairs!
• Isaac is mimicking motions, signs, friends, and songs
• Isaac sways his hips to all music--even while sitting.
• Isaac claps for all occasions.

• Isaac (sometimes) obeys by putting his cup on the table and not throwing it on the floor.
• Isaac has FOUR teeth (and boy was that 4th one rough!)
• Isaac (and Mommy) survived his first true cold.
