Add this to the list of impossible....
Taking an 11 month old's photo with a dog. Precious wanted in on the action for Jay's 11 month photo-op. WHY could they not get it together? We'll never know. I just thought it was funny when I looked back at the photos to see that they were always out of sync. Enjoy!
11!
Here we are--the last month of the 1st year.
Jay still weighs in at 24 1/2 pounds. No loss or gain since the 9 month checkup.
This little fella is an absolute delight. He jibbers and jabbers all the time and can clap, wave, kiss, "give love", "put that im Mommy's hand", at your request.
He says "bye-bye", "byeluh" (as in "byeiloveyou" when Kelsey was a tiny baby our family started using that salutation and it comes out as all one word--Jay has picked up on that in recent weeks).
"GUUH" for Gus, Precious and any other dog, "Wuh-wuh" usually follows right after once Jay identifies a dog of any kind.
"Go-Go" can be heard anytime we see a car, truck, stroller or ANYTHING with a wheel.
Of course, Daddio answers to "Da-Da" now and Jay often kisses Daddio and says "Bye-Da".
Jay answers the question "What does a sheep say?" with a mighty "Baaaaaaaaaaa" and will pick out a sheep photo or cartoon in any book and Baaaa with all his might.
If you ask about a cat or kitten or we see a picture you will get a high pitched "Mmmeee" out of Jay.
When asked "Where's Jay's tummy?" he places both hands on his tummy and dances with excitement. He also has a few toys that ask this question and it's so fun to watch him interact with them. He also can point out his nose and your nose and is getting pretty good at foot and mouth.
He's about 50/50 with a Mooo response when asked what the cow says. Sometimes he give you a Baaaaa, but then laughs--could he be trying to kid around? As his proud Mommy, I like to think so, but we can't be sure.
Anytime we pass a mirror or see a stranger at the store Jay says "Whoosssat, Whoosssat, Whoosssat?" it's best to try to give an answer because he is definitely expecting it.
He has begun randomly patting his chest and saying "Jay" over and over. I just can't keep up with how much he is learning.
He is a DANCING MACHINE. anytime, anywhere to any rhythm--cell phones ringing, washing machine cycles, the wonky wheel on the cart at Target and any commercial, music or little ditty within earshot and he busts a move.
Not walking solo yet, but it will be soon. One of his favorite games is Open/Close. This applies to anything that can be perceived as a door, drawer, box, book, jar, etc. Good times I tell ya! We also like to play crawl to the bathtub and turn on the water. Full Blast. All Day. This game makes mommy nervous.
Size 4 Diapers
18 month clothes, 24 month jammies
Eats EVERYTHING put in front of him.
**Editor's Note: I am aware that I am late in posting this monthly update. Here we are just 10 days away from Jay's 1st birthday. Yikes. I took the photos almost a month ago, just haven't gotten around to posting. Perhaps we should talk to the lead character in this blog about allowing mommy some down time to document all of the fun we're having. :)

It's been a while...
But I have lots of excuses--
1. We went to Nashville for a week for JAY'S FIRST WEEK OF SWIM LESSONS. I am SO PROUD! 5 hour-long classes. Some screaming. By Friday he went off of the diving board and rolled over all-by-his-10-month-old-self. ( I did not get a pic rolled over, regrettably I threw my camera down sometime in the cheer him on/scream/clap/cry/victory dance. Too bad we didn't get THAT on video.)
We did lots of visiting with family and friends and brought CJ home with us for a few days. CJ was a great helper and started teaching Jay important lessons like how to build a pillow fort.
2. Jay got his first fever. The day before Father's day Jay woke up from his nap with a fever. With Tylenol/Ibuprofen it was manageable but he was less than himself and slept a lot of the weekend and into Monday. Just a fever virus, but we have now officially had our first illness. 10 months and 28 days was a long time to go with no sickness and I am thankful everyday for a happy, healthy child.
3. After recovering from the fever virus, Jay caught his first cold on 2 days later on Wednesday. We actually went to the doctor for this one, so we've had our first non-checkup visit with Dr. Malone.
4. Super summer storms knocked out our internet. We are back online as of this morning.
Here are a few pics then I will try to get on to the 11 month post. Man-oh-man! 11 Months!! AAhhhh!

Mohawk Friday and Lunch al Fresco
We decided to have lunch on the deck for a change of pace and to try to break up our routine a little. I think it was a hit with Jay!

Keepin' Cool in the Baby Pool
We're actually working on Jay's base tan and attention span as we prepare for our first week of swim school next week. All of this work sure has been fun!
 |
| Yes, those are Little People from our Nativity set. Jay pulled them out of his toy box a few nights ago, so they are back in the rotation for a while. |
 |
| Little fella is really trying to tell me something here... |
 |
| He kept his shades on the whole hour we were outside! Great job, buddy! |
 |
| Dancin' and clappin' to his own little tune. |

Mmm-Nom-Nom-Nom-Nom-Nom
Snack today was a Nestle's Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie and a little milk. I think it was a hit. Thanks Daddio!!
