The Truncali Family: 11 Months

Eli,
Oh sweet boy..... I am having a hard time believing you are 11 months old today, where has the time gone?! It has been an amazing 11 months, but I am so not ready for you to turn ONE in just a month! Your personality is really coming through, and you seem to be a lot like your sister, busy and curious about everything! You play so well by yourself and can keep yourself entertained for awhile, until you hear your sister or Mommy's voice and you're off to see where we are and what we're up to....it's pretty cute! You have brought so much love and joy to our lives and we love you to pieces little man!
Love,
Mommy

You are in a size 4 diaper, 12-18 month clothes and you have size 3 shoes, but I'm not even sure if they fit because you never wear them, you're always finding a way to get them off!

You are still drinking 6-8 oz bottles 3-4 times a day, taking 2 two hour long naps a day or longer and sleeping 12 hours at night.

You still have 7 teeth, 4 on top and 3 on bottom.

You say mama, dada, uh-oh and your new one is what's that....or wussssat?! You say it in sort of a whisper and it's the cutest!

You are awesome at waving hi and bye!

We are working on High-five, where your nose is and the sound a snake makes.

You have the dog sound down to a "T"! Anytime you see or hear a dog you pant!

You have started pulling up on everything and anything and have started walking by pushing things around, like your car or walker.

Just this week you started standing on your own without holding onto anything!

You love Ry's little red crazy coop car! You will climb in and out of it until someone gives you a ride. You just squeal and smile the entire time. Ry is so sweet too, she sits on the back, holds onto the handle in the back and wraps her legs around the sides so the door doesn't fly open while Mommy or Daddy pushes y'all around the house!

You seem to get quicker and more curious by the day! You are so fast, especially when you get caught doing something you're not supposed to and have to get to whatever you want before I can grab you, ie.. Ruger's water bowl, stairs, outlet or fireplace.

You love to play with the alphabet magnets on the refrigerator in the laundry room! When I hear it go quiet, I know you're headed for the water bowl (why I don't just put it up or outside I don't know). I walked over to the laundry room and there you were sitting right next to Ruger's bowl waiting for me to catch you. It was a stand off I swear.... I was staring at you and you were staring at me. As soon as I said Eli (I'm sure you know the mom tone I used) and took a step toward you, you smiled the biggest smile and lurched for the bowl, spilling the entire bowl everywhere. You were quite satisfied you won.....stinker!

You're starting to give kisses (when you want to). We say, "kiss" and make the kissing sound and pucker up our lips. Sometimes you just turn your head and act like your playing, or will actually push us away, but sometimes you actually do kiss and even make the "mmmmwah" sound, it's the sweetest!

You are getting very difficult to photograph these days, luckily you only have to do this pose one more time :*( You did not want to do the crib pose for me at all.
