11 Months.

Seriously? It is crazy to think about just how different our lives were just 11 months ago. Hmmph. I hadn't even met this little man of mine 11 months ago. We were living in an entire different town, going to an entire different church, living in an entire different house, well you get the point. We have made some major life changes in this last year, all which have been great for our family, especially the birth of Warren.

Warren is into everything. It would be safe to say that he is much like Wyatt was at this age as far as being busy. Some of his favorite activities are too pull every book he can reach off of the bookshelf onto the floor. Guess that is where he thinks they should go. I pick them up, he pulls them off. He also enjoys the kitchen and the many exciting wonders of clanking pans and bowls and such. :) Since Wyatt is using the potty these days we are having a little trouble with Warren playing in the toilet since Wyatt doesn't always remember to close the lid. I have even found a few swimming toys in the potty already. Nice.04.

The only thing that beats all of those other activities for Warren is outside. The little guy just wants to be outside. He is absolutely content to be outside. I love that because I love to be outside too.

On the verge of walking. He is currently mastering the whole balance thing. I have watched him stand alone for minutes at a time. He is taking steps by himself, but quickly looses his balance and resorts to crawling. He'll get it when he is ready.

He is looking more like a handsome little boy and less like a baby :(. He has this adorable big toothy grin. He has 8 teeth now!! His hair still wins the prize for the most comments. At first it was just the sheer volume of his hair, but now people just can't get over the coloring. He has a dark stripe of hair down the middle of his head and the sides are turning lighter everyday. People think I color his hair on purpose. Really? Do people really do that to babies?

After 5 months of constant ear infections we opted to have tubes put in his ears two weeks ago. He seems to be doing much better. When I think of the last few months I honestly think about Dr. visits, antibiotics, thermometers, and our comfy recliner as my bed. But I am happy to say I have been able to sleep in my bed ALL night long for the last two weeks! Sleep does a body and mind good. He had a little bit of hearing loss at our first visit to the ENT specialist, but we are hoping that his hearing will be next to normal next time we go back. He seems to hear more stuff now as well as he makes more noise. He jabbers all the time. The only words he can say is "mama". Ha! Wyatt said "dada" first so I am pretty excited about that.

He is so much fun and we are so thankful for such a happy little guy. Warren will be one this next month. What an adventure this next year is gonna be.
