11 Months







Wow, Daniel is now just one month shy of his first birthday. It seems like he is growing up so fast. Daniel is doing great. Every day he learns new things. Like for example, when he is going towards something he isn't allowed to do he says "no, no, no" therefore warning us that we should intercept him before he gets there. His vocabulary is expanding a little bit, he is definitely imitating noises he hears like up, down, open, close. He also now points at things he wants. He is slowly learning to communicate what he wants to us. Daniel also sings. His favorite is the Elmo's World song. If we start with the La la la's he will keep it going. That is his favorite segment of Sesame Street and watching his face light up when it comes on is priceless. He mostly only pays attention to the tv when there is music, he likes the songs and he bounces up and down dancing. Daniel is exploring new foods all the time. His favorites right now include anything that he can feed himself and he always wants whatever I am eating. He tends to reject baby food if he thinks there might be something better around although I can usually get him to eat it with the promise of Cheerios. This month he mastered getting the rings back onto the ring stacker and is starting to figure out how to put shapes into a shape box. He also learned to pull all the Tupperware out of his Mommom's cabinets. Daniel loves to read books. We have a couple books now with flaps that open and shut and he thinks that is so much fun. Daniel is still just taking tentative steps on his own but if he has something to hold onto like a push toy or my walker he can go all the way across the room on his own. I think any day now he is just going to take off on his own.
