Benjamin is 11 months!

Weight: 21lbs
Height: ?.... Tall : )

4 teeth (2 top, 2 bottom)
signs "more"
waves bye-bye
shakes his head "no"
crawls FAST
tries to cruise
can stand for a second on his own
loves to ride his rocket!
eats 2 jars of baby food a day
still nurses like a champ 4-5 times a day
takes 2 naps and sleep all night
still sucks his thumb (grateful his burn is all better)
wants to get into everything... trash cans, drawers and cabinets are his favorite, oh yes, and climbing into the laundry pile (he's folding)
says: Papa, Bob, GG, Mama, Dada, Daddy, Baba, Mo (more), bye
favorite foods: fruit, baby Num Nums, crackers, chicken, and puffs

He's started to throw lots of fits. You know, arching his back, stiffening his body, throwing his head back and screaming... just your average fit. He really good at it. To which, I then, discipline his little sinful self. He still has the sweetest little smile and just might be my best snuggler. He LOVES to throw toys. His daddy really likes the strength of his arm. He takes his socks off in the car seat, cries if he can't see his sisters in the car, doesn't want to ride in the shopping cart, loves to be packed around by mommy or Avery, likes to watch his sisters be silly and do gymnastics, is very social with strangers but doesn't want to be touched by one, has the softest skin and tons of red in his hair, and STILL raises his eyebrows. That's my boy.
