You are 11 months old! And you have taken off this month. You are really starting to individualize yourself. You are definitely not just a baby anymore. You are Luke - an active part of our little family.

| Oh the Places You'll Go! |
You are growing like crazy. I haven't weighed you, but you are quickly outgrowing your clothes. You are still wearing 9 month pants, but are wearing mostly 12 month jammies and shirts. You are always on the move! You have started crawling on all four now, and you can really move! You love to stand, and you pull up on everything you can reach. You take some steps holding on to things, but are not standing or walking independently yet. You also love to climb. We have had an old mattress in the playroom floor for the past couple of weeks and you love it. You climb from the floor to the mattress, then to the couch so you can stand and look out the window. You are also completely obsessed with climbing the stairs now. You have made it successfully to the top 3 times. But if Promise is in the playroom (at the bottom of the stairs), you stop halfway up because that's as far as you can see her.
Your and Promise's relationship cracks me up. She is still very jealous of you, but she also adores you. She is SO excited that you are finally starting to play with her. But, sometimes (oftentimes) she gets carried away and you get hurt. You are never deterred though. Even though she hurts you multiple times a day, you are never nervous or hesitant around her. You light up when you see her, and she lives to make you laugh.

| Trying to keep up |
You are a people person for sure. You love seeing people you know, especially Nonnie and Papa. You are still not talking much, but you do carry on little conversations with people. Its super cute. You also love to make people laugh. One of your favorite games right now is to try to put your paci in my mouth and then grab it back and laugh for all your worth. Best sound in the world!

| Daddy's baby |
You are nursing, on average, twice a day now - morning and night. During the day you have goat's milk in a sippy cup. You are doing pretty well with the goat's milk. It just depends on the day as to how much you take. You don't drink much water, but sometimes you see to be very excited about it. Depends on the cup. Haha. You have really slowed down on your intake of solid food. I'm not sure if that's because the goat's milk is more filling or just because you're not needing as much. You still like protein foods a lot, but you have also started enjoying more fruit. Pineapple (usually frozen) is one of your favorite fruits. You also like apples, grapes, and oranges. But your all time favorite is still bananas. Nothing better than a banana.
Sleep is wonderful. You are a great sleeper. And a great waiter. You are in bed for 12 hours at night. I'm pretty sure you sleep most of that, but you are almost always awake when I go in to get you. I never hear a peep out of you though. You take 2 naps a day and usually are in bed 1.5-2 hours for each nap. You sleep with your teddy bear now (he doesn't have a name yet) and you think he's really funny. After I kiss you good night, your bear kisses you goodnight and it make you giggle every time. On days that you miss a nap for some reason you handle it very well. You don't sleep well in the car anymore, so if we are on the go in the mornings you just look out your window contentedly.

| Sweet sweet sleep |
You are a wonderful baby! And such a blessing to all of us. You make us smile, make us laugh, and fill us constantly with joy. I don't think I could possibly love you more, but every day I do. You are so much fun, you are funny, you are smart, you are a good problem solver, a little feisty, and a the most handsome little boy the world has ever seen. Happy 11 months my little man cub!
Love,
Mommy
