Griffin at 11 months

I know that everyone says it but it really is so crazy how fast little ones grow up! I can't believe Griffin will be 1 year old in a month! This kid is so much fun and, of course, we love having him in our home and family! He is such a happy kid and makes each day so fun to be at home with. Here are a few things about Griffin at 11 months.
 
*He finally started crawling at about 10 1/2 months.
*Loves to do "So Big"
*Makes the cutest little scrunched up smile face and then blows in and out of his nose.
*Is finally starting to spit up a lot less
*Is off the bottle
*Still loves his walker
*Has discovered the dog food and water dish and escapes to it every chance he gets
*Will sit in his room, Deegan's room or the toy corner in the living room and play contently by himself
*Takes 2 naps a day and goes down for the night about 8, sleeps until about 6:30-7 and then back to sleep for another couple hours.
*Thinks its funny to pull moms hair
*Is pulling himself up to everything he can
*Loves to eat "real" food. Yogurt, wheat toast, bananas, nilla wafers, cheese, chicken nuggets, pasta, yogurt bites, and basically anything I feed him are his favs :)
*Size 4 diapers, can fit 6-12 and 9 month stuff but it is all getting small so we just broke out the 12 month stuff.
*Absolutely loves the bath and gets so excited as soon as you turn the water on.
*Still has the cutest, chubby cheeks!
*He now has 5 teeth. His top left front tooth finally came in followed by his 2nd right tooth. (No idea what it's called:)
*Loves Lucy and she is so good to let him "mawl" her.
*He has been healthy for the longest stretch since he got RSV at 5 months. *knock on wood!!* We are keeping him basically quarantined this winter with all the Flu, RSV and other junk going around. No church or really outings at all unless it is to a family members house. Some think I am a little extreme but I don't really care. :) When your baby has had varying degrees of RSV 5 times in 6 months, you get a little over protective and cautious.
*We have become BIG fans of essential oils!
 
I think that is a good summary of our sweet Griffin at 11 months! We love him so much and he is such a little sweet heart!

11 months? Another confirmation that time is out of control. There should be a committee or something that puts it in check! He is too stinkin cute!

I can't believe he's that old! Seriously?? And p.s. I don't think you're extreme! We had to do the same thing with Bailee by keeping her away from everyone and everything. Dealing with sick kiddos is no fun, so it's better to keep them away from everything until the yucky stuff clears out!
