Eleven Months!!!

Ok, so I need to do a little catch-up. I have been slacking again with the blog.:( Mostly because my life has been turned upside down yet again. . . . but that is a whole other story for a different post. . . . .that, if I'm being honest, will probably never be written.

* * *

What is most important is my baby boy and that is why I want to make sure that I have a "journal" of his development and milestones. So. . . . .

Roman turned 11 months old on May 23rd.

I just can't keep up with this baby. He is changing and developing more & more EVERY day. It's amazing!

* * *
One day he was pushing himself up on his hands and the next day. . . .

. . . he was pulling himself up to everything.


He LOVES all the new things this "trick" allows him to explore.

. . . .including pestering Jack at different heights.:)


This is my favorite!. . . . walking into his room to pick him up from his nap. I can't even count though how many times he's bumped his noggin' on the crib rales trying to pull up to look out over the crib.


He bites everything! I haven't figured out yet if he is a "biter" or just teething. I guess we'll find out when he starts preschool.:)


We fought a dang eye infection for 2 weeks. He still has a clogged tear duct in his left eye and this is the 2nd time it's gotten infected.:( Not fun!



11 Months:
- Pulling up!

- Starting to take steps holding onto the furniture

- Has 2 favorite stuffed animals: Roarbert & Blue puppy

- Takes 2 naps a day in his crib

- Sleeps from 8-6

- Favorite book is "Freight Train"

- First word: "Jack" (he has said it multiple times when Jack walks in the room)

- LOVES his groceries :)

- Will cry when I take him back in the apartment after being outside

- Still hates to get dressed/undressed

- LOVES to be sung to. This is one of our favorites: (sung to the tune of B-I-N-G-O)

There was a boy with big blue eyes

and Roman was his name-o

R-O-M-A-N,

R-O-M-A-N,

He also loves Old MacDonald & Popcorn Popping

- Still sportin' the hawk because his hair only grows in the middle of his head :)

- Has 8 teeth: 4 top & 4 bottom

- He weighed 23 lbs. when we took him in on the 17th for his eye infection

- Still nursing 4 times a day but is getting quite rambunctious

- He loves to play & explore and get into things :)


** Roman really is such a good baby and he is definitely a mama's boy which makes me super happy. Love him to pieces!!

You are such a cute mom. Just through your blog I can tell how lucky Roman is to have you and how much love you have for your little guy. Hugs!

I love your sassy and HONEST side:) I also love that you posted a picture of your "white self" haha swimming with your boy! It is so special to document all this for him...he will love looking back at life!

Sidenote: your kid is almost ONE......How in the world did that happen:) Watch for a present or two heading your way! He reminds me of a little boy named Jaxson that had a round face and chubby thighs (only a blonde version of course!).

Thanks for talking me through my meltdown today. Love you:)

Yes, Roman & Evan are SO much alike, and it's so fun to read what Roman's been up to. Very cute pics and hope everything works out for you guys. Don't forget you have your COT friends in Omaha pulling for you! Have fun planning the big bday party!

Can't believe that he is almost 1! Where did the time go? Freak.

Memorial day looked fun! And you are not white...you wanna see white, come see me. That new pool in Blanding looks awesome!
