11 months

Kellis is 11 months old today!

I have no idea what he weighs.... I dont believe our scale. I think hes right at 20lbs. We go to the doc July 7th.
Also impossible to tell how tall he is. (have you tried to measure a baby?)
He has a long torso, onesies dont really fit anymore. Pants that are long enough are too big in the waist. Its frustrating!

STILL only those 2 bottom teeth. I can see the top 2, but I have been able to for a couple weeks now. The kid is just slow at growing teeth.
He loves food. Any and all food, and especially whatever I am eating. I have been getting braver at giving him bites of my food. W/o teeth I am so hesitant to give him a ton of table food. It takes him so long to gum the bites down that I think he gets bored and tired of chewing before he's actually full. He really loves sweet potatoes, in any form; baby food, flavored puffs, fresh, you name it.
He still won't drink juice, water, or anything other than his formula and it has to be in a bottle. He gets the idea of a sippy cup and straws but cant figure out how to get it out of them. I dont try as much as I should to get him to use them, I admit.
His vocabulary is expanding every day. I think he understands most of what I say. He will usually do what I say or go get what I ask him to. Unless he's being stubborn, you know how that goes, especially being related to myself and his father.
He loves to walk and stand up. He pulls up on everything now, the other day he tried to pull up on a flat wall. So far that is the only thing he hasn't succeeded at. haha He will walk along the window, table, couch, etc. but is VERY afraid to let go. He has gotten really good at sitting down when he's at the end or wants to stop.
He can crawl super fast now. The left leg is usually up, so he looks really funny but is so fast. He loves to have an object in his left hand (magazine, anything flat, easter egg, ball, spoon, etc) and slide it along the floor for added speed. Possibly he would love roller skates. ha
He's not terribly interested in tv, unless he's tired. He will look up if the voice or person catches his attention but doesn't really watch it. He likes the news, where its a big face talking to him on the screen.
Still a great sleeper. Daytime naps are starting to be fewer and farther between, finally. He knows what 'get in your bed' means and doesnt usually fight me.
He has started having mini-fits when I tell him no or pull him away from something he wants. He gets red and yells and balls up his fists. Its really funny. Possibly he will fling himself onto the floor once he is coordinated enough. A couple times he has flung himself backwards when I was holding him and kicked his legs. This doesn't happen all that often but there are some things he really really wants that I dont let him have, for safety reasons.

Words he says: momma, dada (usually dededadadada like those twins on the internet), ba (ball), mia (milk), uh uh uh (uh-oh). I'm trying to figure out a sound for "Raider" but its normally not the same one. If I repeat a word that starts with M or B he will try and repeat it, but they all sound like ba or ma. He still makes screaches or other loud sounds resembling ahhh! for most things.

Favorites: being outside, trees, Raider, golf balls (any round object really), momma, pulling up and walking with his walker.
