Mack: 11 Months

 Our sweet little guy hit the eleven month mark last week and I'm in serious denial. One year is happening THIS MONTH! It is a goal I covet and dread. I'll be able to cross off the last year as our toughest to date, but at the same time our baby isn't so babyish anymore...
In typical Erica style, I'm getting ahead of myself.
So lets hash out the last month of this boy's life...that just happened to speed by SO fast!

We had a lot of poop and fevers and fire hose noses this month. Enough for me to just hope, we are getting it all out of our system early. Because I can't really claim "I never get sick" anymore, because my kids ALWAYS get sick and for my ignorant non-mom self...sometimes that means someone has to take a sick day. I guess it's not super cool to send your kids to childcare with a fever...

Did I mention Mack is eleven months? He is SO close to walking, but not. He's kind of a quitter if you ask me. He'll walk a few steps, pause and slowly lower down to a crawl. I'm super confused, because this is a kid that crawls through walls, you know, instead of going around. But, he'll walk when he's ready (says every grandmother in the world, don't they remember when their kid was on the cusp?). He also doesn't perform. I've been trying to video (his five steps) and every time the phone comes out he turns into a limp noodle.

He's a fighter. He takes Charlie's toys and screeches (holy moly) when his toys are taken. And provokes Charlie into pretty intense wrestling matches, often.

He's also turning into quite the lover. Everyone says it. He'll be playing, come over and lay his head on your shoulder for a few moments and go back about his merry way. It's super sweet.

He's a garbage disposal and eats more than Charlie at most meals. I think he's hit twenty pounds, but I'm just guessing, because our scale is vague. He seems to have the same body type as Charlie, skinny legs, round belly, all Waelty.
