11 Months Old

The eleven month photo shoot came a day late since on the 17th, when he was officially 11 months old, Nathan fell asleep in the car on the way home from daycare and then proceeded to stay asleep until 5:15 this morning! So he and I were up bright and early today, which, aside from having to drag myself out of bed, was actually really nice. We were able to have bathtime and playtime on a weekday when Nathan was not sleepy and there was no sense of being rushed.

At 11 months, Nathan loves to play with his toys, especially the little kitchen (opening and closing the microwave door is particularly fascinating). He also really loves books and is always going over to his bookshelf to pull down a few--or all of them--and he opens and closes them, points to stuff on the page. It's so cute, and you know that his English major mommy is thrilled!

Nathan is a great eater, and chows down on pretty much anything we give him. He's still not much of a fan of peas, but everything else seems to be fair game. He even likes chili! Without question, his favorite food right now is yogurt. That kid could eat an entire gallon of yogurt! He's going to have a very healthy digestive tract. :)

This month he has become a champion crawler, pulls up on everything, and is pretty darn coordinated. The other big physical development is that he cut FOUR teeth simultaneously! They have finally all broken through the gums, much to everyone's relief.

Here are some photos from this morning, as well as a little video:
