11 months old

Since Jacob's birthday is on the 30th of the month, he falls into that weird "when did he actually turn 11 months old?" in February. Today is March 1 so we're going to go ahead and say that he's official.

At 11 months old Jacob:

-has 8 teeth. Joseph had 8 teeth at a year old so I guess he's right on par.
-is cruising everywhere. He is also great at making the transitions between crawling, pulling up, cruising, lowering back to the floor.
-is a tornado of destruction. I'm constantly finding new things to baby proof and trying to figure out how to detour him from the things I can't. Like - you would think that a cable nailed to wall would be safe. No. He has pulled it (and all of its staples) out of the wall. Twice.
-has brown eyes! He has had his beautiful dark brown eyes for several months now but I keep forgetting to mention it. This kid is like his mama.
-is talking. He hasn't added any new words with regularity but keeps using the ones he already knows. He is also great at mimicking sounds.
-is no longer breastfed. I was a little sad to give it up completely although we had been supplementing for a little while. However, we're going to be leaving the boys overnight twice in the next month and it'll be a lot easier on their nana & papa if they don't have to deal with that!
-eats just about everything we put in front of him and lots of it. He usually has a whole bowl of oatmeal for breakfast. He is also eating grapes, strawberries, eggs, breads, peas, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, pears, lentils, potatoes, rice and is rather fond of pizza crusts. :)
