Colin is 11 Months Old

One more month and our sweet baby is going to be a one year old!  Boy does time fly.  Colin went from having a difficult time chewing and swallowing chunkier foods to insisting on only these types of food and feeding it himself.  Gone are the days of spoon feeding Colin.  He doesn't even like to be fed yogurt anymore.  It's been a little bit of a challenge making sure the food is soft enough for him and trying to keep a balanced diet.  Luckily, Colin is a veggie man.  He finished this entire plateful of broccoli and potatoes in no time!

Colin has spent lots of time perfecting his crawling, although still on his belly for the most part.  He still likes to stop and examine the smallest little specs he finds on the floor...

The new development for this month....pulling up on furniture! 

Colin was pretty excited when he first discovered this ability.

He's done some cruising but for the most part pulls himself up, plays for a while, and then fusses because he doesn't know how to safely get back down.

Although blurry, I wanted to highlight another tid bit about Colin.  A few months back he started to twist his finger in his ear whenever he was nervous or unsure of a situation.  Even though it sometimes causes him to scratch his ear, its a good sign for me to know he needs a little extra lovin to feel safe. (Shout out to Susann and Uncle Hunter for the awesome bunny rabbit!)

Colin continues to have the sweetest demeanor and even when upset, he tries to smile on through it....

We can't believe how old our little man is becoming!
