10-11 Months


doesn't like his feet to touch the sidewalk or grass when he crawls so he lifts them as high as he can. Quite a skill


loves to eat rocks and dirt

Gus monster is 11 months, but I forgot to do his 10 month post so this is a combined post 

  • Goes to bed at 9 and wakes up once to eat then for the day at 8:30 or 9
  • Still takes 2 naps! Hooray! First nap is at 12 for usually 1 1/2 hours then the second is at 3:30 or 4 for 45 minutes
  • Finally goes to bed without crying when I lay him down. There are a few rare nights where he will cry for  a minute or so.
  • Has 5 almost 6 teeth. 3 upper and 2 lower
  • Is oh so close to walking. He took two or three steps about a month ago, then did nothing. The last week or so though he is getting braver and will stand unassisted for a few moment by himself!
  • Loves to push things around while standing and holding on to them like his four wheeler or a little stool I have in the front room
  • Signs outside, ball, bird, water, milk, more, dog, cat, and mom
  • Says Ball, dada, nana (banana)
  • Still loves balls, and it is the first thing he says when he wakes up
  • When he pushes his cars or tractors around he says brrrr
  • If you whistle at him he will try to imitate you, but no whistle comes out just air
  • If asked what a cow says he will say moo, if asked what a horse says he will vibrate his lips (It is because I always say that horses say neigh then make the sound they make when they blow air out) That was hard to describe, hopefully you understand what I mean
  • If asked where the dog is he will click his tongue. The sign for dog is done by hitting your leg twice then snapping so I think he is trying to make the snapping sound.
  • Loves being outside
  • Still wears 3-6 month clothes. Barely fits into 6-12 month clothes. They drowned him, but that is what I buy and he wears
  • Still breast feeding, I am going to introduce whole milk in a couple of weeks. Hooray!
  • Is a great eater. Loves almost everything. His favorites are: strawberries, bananas, string cheese, cream of wheat with blueberries, bacon, jerky, and anything we are eating basically!

  4. I think April is right - remember that scuba diving picture, Em? I think of that picture often. Always bring a smile to my face, as does seeing baby Gus. What's the plans for the big numero UNO birthday party? Fly him to Sacramento? Now that would be awesome.

  6. I seriously feel Gus is like 3 months ahead of Miles, instead of only being 1 week older. Wow, I can't believe he is all most walking, and that he knows so many signs. That is awesome! So I am probably going down there next weekend. We should totally get together. Miles and Gus need a play date!
