11 Months

Ethan has reached 11 months!! The baby stage is fleeting. It really doesn't seem like Ethan should be that old. But here we are and he is so much fun. He loves to explore but still likes to be in the same room as me. He will often come and check in, meaning he will crawling to me then suck his thumb and lay is head down. After a brief moment he is off exploring again. Being a thumb sucker I get pretty good snuggles, and I love it. Some of his favorite toys are on old landline phone, a wooden crane and plastic mallet, all things that are easy to old on to as he crawls around. He hasn't developed a huge interest in reading yet, which is probably mostly my fault for not taking more time to read with him. But he does like going after books usually the ones he can't have. He is still nursing four times a day and eating breakfast, lunch and dinner. He is still primarily eating pureed food, a lot of the finger food I have given him and spits right back out. Ethan is a good boy and listens really well. He is a wonderful part of our family and we all, including his brother and sister adore him.
