11 months

I can't believe we have an almost one year old! I think Hunter weighs about 18 lbs now and is about 28.5 inches long. We'll see what his official stats are next month at his Dr. appt. Doesn't look like we'd be able to turn that car seat around next month even if we wanted to!

We moved him from his infant carrier to his big boy car seat the weekend before last. I think he really likes it! He sits up straighter and higher in this one. I catch him looking out the window a lot and sometimes he just hangs one arm over the side like he is lounging. It's pretty cute.

Hunter is so much fun to be around. He is starting to wave and give high fives sometimes. He says dada all of the time but we're still working on mama. He is very inquisitive and is very brave, pulling up on anything he can. The other day I caught him up on the console table on all fours banging on the wedding album. Silly boy! I've yet to find a gate that works for either the stairs or the opening between the entry/living room so I spend all day hovering over him and making sure he's not getting in to any trouble!

He loves the refrigerator for some reason and makes a bee line for it whenever he sees us open it...

The weather here has been great so we've enjoyed being able to get back outside for our walks. We went down to a park in our neighborhood with our friends April and Owen and Hunter played on the swings for the first time. He loved it!

So far he's not showing any desire to take steps and just bounces up and down when you hold him up to stand. I'm not wishing for it to come any sooner than it is going to!
