It's hard to believe my baby is already just 1 month away from being a year old. There have been days where it seemed like time stood still and yet looking back it has gone so fast!
So what is Mack up to at 11 months?
"Mama" and "dada" are pretty consistent words now but Mack can also babel short fully inflected sentences as though he's carrying on conversation with you. We jus act as though we understand by being avid listeners. Mack also responds to quite a few simple questions and commands. For example, we ask "where's your toys" or even a specific toy and he can point to it. If we ask him to hand us something or to pick something up he can and his favorite is rolling a ball back and forth.
He's learning the parts of his face and head and anything he points to we repeatedly teach him what it is and what its purpose is. We are constantly counting, singing, and learning new things.
Little people are very observant creatures and will mimic anything you do. Because Mack is so receptive now, I like to emphasize "please" and "thank you" as he he likes to help me... he helps me fold laundry and sweep the floor. He's my little helper!
We've officially gone from sitting to standing, crawling to cruising and cruising to taking our first few steps. He definitely keeps mommy busy.
And of course for the pictures...

| How about this one? |
 |
| Ok, I'll settle for this one, it's more my size. |
 |
| I helped daddy take out all the seeds. |
 |
| And there's our finished product, we had fun! |
 |
| I'm helping mommy sweep the floor. |
 |
| Standing by myself for the first time. |
 |
| When mommy turned her back I crawled into the dishwasher. Can I get any cuter? |
Just a few more weeks and I'll be ONE!
