11 Months

 I can't believe there is only one more month till Mr. Magoo is ONE! And seriously each month seems to pass by so quickly.

We went to the park this afternoon and it was pretty chilly, I should have bundled him up better.

He is getting so good at walking, and chooses to do it more often with out us being right there. Tonight I swear he was trying to figure out how to stand up with out grabbing onto something for support. He was pretty frustrated, but it was kinda cute.

Also in the past week or so he has started dancing to music! I love it, he just grooves out. It's mostly just a bounce on his bum, knees or while standing. He has also found out how to use voice command on my phone and will often yell or babble at it, very amusing. I would say that he definitely has a favourite song, it's "You & Me" by Diamond Rings. The beginning of it is also my ring tone.

Height: 30 inches

Weight: 19.4 pounds

Head: 48 centimetres

He is still nursing (but not for long), he also loves banana's, rice crackers, meat (salmon, beef, chicken, turkey, ham), potatoes, bread, yogurt, grapes, freezes (good for crazy teething days), corn, cheerios, he really fights me on veggies lately (so frustrating) but I still sneak'em in. His all time favourite food right now... ice-cream. Bad I know, but I try not to give it to him too often. He is also very good at taking medicine, I would say he even likes it. And he got his first ever ear infection this past week. He also loves to help me with Everything, he's like my little shadow, and if I'm not including him he lets me know.  He loves playing peek-a-boo, and has recently started throwing things over his head to hide, like, shirts and blankets.  Or he will go in a room and shut a door to hide, he'll actually wait with it closed for quite a while.

I totally love my little man, and sometimes it is hard cause it's just me and him for the majority of our time.  Now that he's almost one and I can see the beginning of being able to give him cows milk, the next big milestone for me I think will be good communication, less whining. 

Signs he knows: milk, brush teeth, food, blow kisses, book, wave goodbye. And recently he loves to point places he wants to go, which I have found to be great. 

Also while we were out today Magoo saw a hot air ballon for the first time ever. It was so cute, he just wanted me to follow it and had his hand up reaching for it trying to grab it. He was so intrigued and making so much noise, whooting and grunting in excitement.

Also a little shout out to Karmyn tonight. My brother texted me tonight "It's baby It's baby time!!!" Her due date is November 1, but it looks like their little baby (girl most likely) is going to come sooner than that! Good luck, I so wish I was there right now to watch your other kiddies for you and come help you when you bring that new babe home. I seriously love all ya'll so much!

Thoughts on Thursday

- Mr. Magoo has been sick the past week. I thought it was just teething but it turns out it was also an ear infection

- I have 2 more weeks until I get to visit my family in Ardrossan, I am pretty excited.

- While at my parents house we are having an early birthday party for Magoo, it is going to be so fun!

- Tomorrow is the 11 month mark. So watch for a post with fun random facts about the little man.

- My teeth hurt lately, but I really don't want to go see a dentist. I'm kinda hoping it will just go away.

- I have a really hard time picturing Riley in Madagascar even though he is there, now, serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

- I need to go make my hubby a lunch...

The End.

He is sooooo cuddly when he's not feeling well.

I bet you can't keep a straight face...

Okay so I have had a really miserable little boy for the last couple days. This morning I found out that he has an ear infection on top of the fact that little bones are currently cutting their way through his gums... fun. But luckily even though he hasn't been feeling top notch he is so resilient and for a short bit yesterday he was so giggly and I caught a bit if it on camera. 

So if you are wondering what I am doing to make him laugh. There was a package from some crackers and I was blowing it across the kitchen, it was good fun, it seriously had him laughing for a good 15 minutes and this video is in the last 5 minutes or so.

Now we're talking: Walking!

So just about a week after Mr. Magoo turned 10 months he took his first steps! And I still think it's funny how excited I feel about it, and every time he takes a step we still cheer and think it's the coolest thing.

I had been trying to get a good video of it since he started but at first, as soon as the camera came out then his mind was set on getting the camera, and since crawling is still faster for him, I never got a good video. And now that he is getting better and better I am just never satisfied. He can make it right across our tv area of our living room, which I think is pretty good. My parents and a couple siblings were visiting this weekend so we had all camera's going, so even though we missed the really long walk I compiled a few shorter ones together. 

Enjoy!

GrateFall...

Alright so I have had a request for a new post, and so I will use that as an excuse to share my latest pictures. 

Fall has arrived here in Regina and I am loving it. Seriously I love all the colours (who doesn't) and I love leaves falling and trees becoming bare. And as the weather has cooled down we have taken lots of time to go outside and enjoy it.

Mr.Magoo has really taken to the leaves, and I have to really watch that non end up in his little chompers. Also I find a lot of Ladybugs rights outside out apartment, he really likes those too and doesn't mind me putting them on him and letting them crawl around, although I do have to make sure he doesn't pinch them to death... maybe he just wants it to hold still long enough for him to get it in his mouth... haha. 

Also we love having the missionaries over and try to have them at least twice a month and they already have Mr. Magoo looking like an Elder.

So this weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, and I am so excited. Not just because it's a good time to reflect on our blessings but because we have our first visitors coming to visit us! Whoot, I am beyond excited for my Mom, Dad, and youngest 2 siblings to come visit.

I am so grateful for my family and the great support they are to us. I am especially grateful to my grandparents who have paved the way and shown all us young birds how its done. 

Also a little shout out to my Nan who I know is reading this. She is always so thoughtful and is a Woman who I look up to so much. That Grampi of mine is pretty cool too ( I mean when your married to a gal like Nanni I think it's impossible to not be cool.) xoxo's, one for each of your cheeks.

And lot of "o's " for the rest of you this weekend (cause "x's" to strangers is just weird).
