Carson is 11 Months

-Carson has been quite the cuddle bug lately. We love it because he rarely holds still. And he gives hugs and kisses. He started giving us wet slobbery kisses (which are the best, of course!), rather than just a forehead.

-He took 3 steps yesterday! We were shocked! We didn't even know he could do that because we haven't really seen him do a full step. Then all of a sudden, there were 3! 

-He has learned a lot of words. He started saying ball, rawr, blub (that's what a fish says). And I got him to say ruff one time. He tries to say book, but he's not quite there. He knows SO many words! I'm always surprised at how much he understands. He knows paci, blankey, train, car, book, water, treat, bye-bye, airplane, owl, and more. I'm just too lazy to record them all.

-Carson also has his own language that sounds like German or Swedish. It's adorable to listen to.

-His favorite animal is a puppy dog. He gets soooo excited when he sees one. Even a picture.

-I have been weaning him from nursing the past couple of weeks. He has only wanted to nurse a couple of times. So it hasn't been that bad of a transition. (crossing my fingers that I'm not jinxing myself right now!) He won't take formula. So I've been trying so hard to get him to drink lots of milk during the day. We've been giving him crackers to make him thirsty. He would much rather have water and boy does he know the difference!

-2 more teeth popped through. He's got 8 now! Hence why I stopped nursing....

-Cory and I were talking and we agreed that we are both ready for him to start walking and understanding more. We think each baby stage is just long enough. By the end of one stage we are ready for the next!
