At eleven months, I don't sit still in fact it was really difficult to get this picture because I wanted to be on-the-go! I am babbling a ton (as usual), I'm really good at both crawling and standing now, I am even cruising along using the furniture to walk, and can get from a standing position to a sitting position and then back up to stand. I enjoy putting things into containers (Tupperware is awesome!), I am pointing and grunting at stuff I want or that is new or even out of place around the house. Mama and I like to roll a ball back and forth. I love to dance and want the music on a lot! I know that my name is Jake and pat my chest when you ask, "Where's Jake?", and I like to make faces in the mirror in the hallway while confirming that is my reflection. I guess with the addition of all these new things came the idea of free will so I am testing limits and expressing frustration when I don't get to do what I want - for example refusing to eat certain foods (well refusing at first - my parents always win the power struggles... for now). I started sleeping with a stuffed animal, Jake the Monkey, and speaking of monkeys if you ask me what a monkey says I can tell you now! I still really enjoy our nighty walks with Eddie because Papa and Mama point out things along the way to teach me things and I love the fresh air. I am imitating more and more which I am told is really cute - yep, at eleven months my life is fantastic!
The big "11" hard to think that just next month you will be one. Glad you liked the frosting on your cake. More to come. Love, Grandma
