Holden 11 months

I can’t believe that in one short month this little cutie will be 1!!! This month has been full of fun things and milestones.

Holden is really into books now. He will cuddle up on your lap and loves touch and feel books the best.

He still is a huge fan of balls. They are a constant source of entertainment! It is so cute!

He also LOVES playing in my old rocking chair from when I was a kid! He will crawl in and out and stand up. It is right next to his bed and we have a little dare devil on our hands – I caught him hanging from the side of the crib after climbing on the chair!

He is also a HUGE fan of animals. He squeals with delight when he sees a dog or cat. Emmy’s birthday was a pony party and he cried when he had to get off the pony. I love his sweet heart.

We also had baby’s first ear infection. He didn’t have any real symptoms except for that he straight up refused to nurse and only took 6 ounces on Friday by bottle. I called the doctor to get him in and sure enough – first ear infection. (Emmy had her first one this month, too.)

Ever since the ear infection, he hasn’t had any interest in nursing, so I guess that ship has sailed. I luckily have enough milk store to get him through the next month and will just start pumping so that things aren’t super uncomfortable here. Ha!

Holden’s first Halloween was last night and he wasn’t a huge fun of his costume. He warmed up to it once we took off the hat. Poor little brother of a girl.  

 

At his doctor’s appointment, he weighed 21 pounds, 13 ounces. He is a growing boy!

We just love our sweet little guy!
