Tickling Those Ivories

Well, at least someone is getting some use out of the piano these days.

11 Months Old

Buddy turned 11 months old today. In exactly one month, he'll be an entire year old! I just can't seem to figure out where the time has gone.

Fun new things he learned this month:
-Waving "Hi" and "Bye", though he has yet to demonstrate this with anyone other than Mom and Dad.
-Patty Cake "Rolling" action (just learned this today actually)
-Balancing on his own two feet.
-Using tools to make noise (i.e. using a spoon to hit a bowl or anything else for that matter)

Fun facts about Buddy:
-He loves to look at pictures of himself and at times this is the only way to make him smile.
-He HATES being on his back (this makes diaper changes awfully fun)
-TV remotes and our clothes steamer are his favorite toys.
-He is wonderful at playing independently, though he really enjoys being read to.

Classic reaction to being placed on his back.

First Haircut

I knew that when three people at the grocery store mistook Buddy for a little girl and when D kept referring to him as a little hippie, that it was time for his first haircut.

I was so proud of my little boy, he did so well!
