11 Months

Dear Calder,

It has been a great month but also a difficult month. You have grown so much! You've picked up two teeth and started taking small steps. I feel like you're transitioning from a baby to a little boy. Ugh. I'm not ready. You can do all the motions to '5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed' and love to use your ever growing vocabulary. A few new favorites are 'yeah, uh-oh, cheese and dee' (deebo).

You're getting better at letting other people hold you and watch you. When we were in DC last week you let the hostess at a restaurant hold you. I was shocked! You spent a lot of time with Grandma Kate today and didn't seem to notice when I went to get my hair cut.

On the other hand you have not wanted to sleep at all! You fight it so much. That is definitely my biggest challenge right now. You need sleep. I need down time and sleep. We're still working on not nursing to sleep, which doesn't help. I'm trying to enjoy this special time and I know it won't last forever. You're becoming quite the independent boy. I love you!

Love,
Mommy

So cute! Sleeping is key to a mommy's happiness, in my book! You tell him who's boss :) Good luck, Cami!

So cute!! I can't believe he is going to be 1 next month that is just crazy! I love the underwear picture!! Hopefully he will get back to sleeping so you can get your sleep. I think that is one of the hardest things about being a mother, is the lack of sleep! I just love to sleep!!
