Our sweet 11 month old boy is growing up so fast! He is full of smiles and giggles, and crawls, climbs and walks all over the place. He keeps us on our toes!
Knox took his first steps on Mother's Day (May 12th) at 10 and a 1/2 months old. Sadly I wasn't at home to see him, so his Daddy witnessed the first steps (4 right out of the gate!), but Knox took a few steps again for me when I got home. He is still just taking a few steps at a time, but definitely improving day by day. He is pretty proud of himself when he does walk, and grins and laughs the whole way.
Knox's favorite thing to do these days is point. Whenever you pick him up, he immediately makes a little "pfff" noise as he points in a certain direction or at a certain object (usually the ceiling or a light). He has also starting signing more, but he uses the same sign for everything - opening and closing his fist either means he wants milk (he does this in the morning when he wakes up), more food (usually this one is done with both hands above his head), or bye bye. He will also give you a five (or 2 or 3) when you hold out your hand.
Knox had his first experience at the golf course on his Daddy's birthday. He loved riding in and "driving" the golf cart, and rolling, throwing, and chewing on the golf balls. Nana and Papa are ready to send him to golf camp!
This kid can eat! He shovels the food on his tray into his mouth as fast as he can. I feel like I am constantly making him more food. He will eat a whole avocado in one sitting and then want more. And more. We still haven't found a food that he won't eat, but he does have preferences. His favorite foods are avocado, sweet potato, blueberries, and puffs.

Our little wiggle worm is not a fan of sitting still (unless he has his cup of puffs). This has made church a bit of a challenge, so we now take him to the nursery during church, which he seems to enjoy (especially when he gets to play with baby dolls). He still behaves himself in Bible class, and is now joined in class by his buddy Lincoln!
Some other characteristics of Knox at this age:
- he LOVES to be outside and cries at the door or window when he wants to go out
- he has discovered how fun it is to drop things on the floor (mainly his sippy cup and food he doesn't want to eat)
- his favorite book is "Pop-up Peekaboo Farm" and he loves opening the flaps to see the animals pop up
- he likes to play with balls, and is learning how to throw them
- he is still taking 2 naps a day, and sleeping 11-12 hours a night
- he weighs about 22 lbs, wears size 4 diapers and 12 month size clothes
