11 months! A bit late


Mav turned 11 months a few weeks ago! 
Again I should have kept up on herewith everything that happened with him last month...but I didn't. Oh well.
He is standing a bit by himself now...every once in awhile. He was cutting his top tooth for a few weeks.
We went to visit uncle Adam in Missouri for a weekend. Mav officially has tried all of the flavors of ice cream at dairy depot. He got to go to the discovery center for the first time with fuzzy. We visited Bryan and Emily at their camp site at Rock cut one weekend. He began walking with a walker. We celebrated Mavs first Fourth of July! We began weaning him off of formula. He went on his first boat ride on uncle blakes boat! Last but not least, he still loves to dance!

Mav is 10 months old!

Mav is pulling up on everything! 
He acts like he wants to be held...then he just uses you as his personal jungle gym.
He has two teeth and I think the top two are trying to poke through. 
He loves food! He prefers real people food now...not just little puffy snack.
He loves to swim.
He also loves to dance...especially to the vbs CD.
He says uh ohh and dada sometimes.
He isn't walking but he likes pushing his little walker around. 
He loves dogs and loves watching the garbage truck go by.
He weighs over 20 lbs now...not sure on the exact weight. 
I decided to trim his hair a bit and snipped a bit too much. It's growing back now. 
This month we found out that he is going to have a little sister!
