11 months

My little boy is almost one year old. He's 11 months now & practicing showing that he's one. Seriously, where has the time gone!? He's still full of smiles. I love this boy!

And he's still working on math-- he's practicing counting his fingers.

Yup, I have five fingers.

Look, Mom! I can count!

We were outside taking pictures and Isaac walked up to this soccer ball and starting running & kicking it (yes, he's running now!). I flipped out like, "My son is a genius! He naturally knew what to do with a soccer ball!"

Until my dad burst my bubble & informed me he'd been teaching Ike. Oh, well. He still has plenty of other talents!

Isaac now eats all sorts of food-- avocado, peaches, pears and meatballs rank up there with his favorites. He also likes frozen blueberries and frozen mango because they feel good on his teething gums.

My favorite part this month was taking Isaac to the pool for the first time! My two handsome boys. My heart aches at the cuteness!

We put Isaac in this floaty thing but he couldn't keep his balance. He kept falling over, poor kid. I assured him he'd be so thankful once we put him in the water.

Yeah, not so much!

All he really wanted to do was run around the pool, looking at the water.

Finally he warmed up to the water and now swimming is his favorite activity. I wish we could go to the pool every day! Next hurdle is getting him to wear his hat while swimming...

Most of the month involved me planning his big first birthday party. I really don't know where the past year has gone. I look at my little baby and realize he's now a little-turning-big boy.
