Eleven Months Old!

At eleven months old, Xander is only a month away from his first birthday!

Time sure flies!

This little guy is still go, go, go.

He has been sick since before Halloween with first HFMD and then multiple colds back to back.  I took him to the doctor again, just to be sure this isn't progressing into something more serious.  They said it is definitely just a cold, but that it was good to have gotten him checked.

Despite a hacking cough and a runny nose, Potatoes is a real trooper.  He is still extremely energetic and playful, but he does hate having his nose cleaned!

His sleep is off with all the congestion, so he has been waking up multiple times during the night.  His naps are pretty regular, but he is wanting to be rocked to sleep at nap time.

Playing during daddy time.  Zoey was totally complacent!

He LOVES his robot from Christian!  He always presses the microphone button and then looks at Daniel and me for us to say something.

At school, they are getting him ready for the one year old room.

In order to transition, he must be eating table food, wearing shoes and walking, off the bottle and on sippy cups exclusively, and napping on a mat (though he can transition while still learning to do this one).  The only one he currently has is table food.  We are working on the others.  I will really miss Ms. Celia and Ms. Lisa, but I know he will enjoy the fact that the one year olds go to the playground.

He still loves yogurt, but always wants whatever we are eating or drinking.

He is very good at one sign, and uses it for EVERYTHING (the sign for 'eat').

On October 27th, our dear friends Karlee and Jonathan welcomed this gorgeous bundle of sweetness, Brighton Olivia.  It has been so great to see a tiny little one!

Xander came with me to participate in the election.  I cannot believe this beautiful boy will be five when we vote again!
