Averett Adventures - Month 11

... 11 Months?? Seriously?? ...
... not a lot of change this month ...
... first real trip to DC ...
... love bath time, hate getting dressed ...
... happiest little guy ...
... you take after your big sister and LOVE the swings ...
... you think it's hilarious when we "talk" back to you, you are quite the babbler ...
... 6-12 month clothes are getting a little snug (too short) ...
... you are a very good little helper ...
 (helping Dad demo the bathroom)
(making sure the gymnastics equipment is up to code)
... you are crawling e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e, and you are particularly fascinated with the stairs ...
... still crawling into everything head-first ...
... two naps a day, one long, one short ...
... an entire week with Aunt Mollie and Uncle Doug ...
... mastered sleeping in our closet, so Mollie and Doug could have your room ...
... Hazel still keeps a close eye on you, and has become my watch dog when you go anywhere near the stairs (her warning alarm starts to sound when you are about 15 feet from the stairs...making sure she gives me plenty of notice) ...
... your tongue.  yes, it still sticks out, but now you curl it up ...
... you are quite the mover, as long as you can hold on to something you will walk anywhere ...
... happy, always happy ...
... we're excited for summer, as you have had a snotty-winter (and hopefully it will dry up with warmer weather!) ...
... sippy cup, slow and steady ...
... an absolute delight ...
... did we mention happy? ...

They day after your 11 month "birthday" - we took you to Hazel's 3 year check up.  The doctor found you had double ear infections, a viral infection that was making you wheeze, and that you weigh a solid 23 pounds (65%).  You were sent home with antibiotics for the ears and a nebulizer (which you HATE...don't worry, so do we).

(for the record - you are such a happy baby we didn't know your ears were bothering you that bad...you tugged at them from time to time but didn't act like anything hurt - and the wheezing, it had JUST started, that's why we had the dr look at you, too.  I left the doctor feeling like a horrible parent.  I promise we love you!)

On a positive note, amidst the weeping, wailing and gnashing of gums while being nebulizer-ed, we discovered your first tooth (bottom right) has broken through!  Hip hip hooray!

What a sweet guy!!!! I love him!

We had to neublize Naomi twice. Once last year, and once this year. Nasty hacking cough, no-thank-you-very-much. Naomi always held her mouth wide open and wailed through the entire thing too. Elmo helped subside the tears a little, though.
