happy (belated) 11 month birthday, little dude!


gare bear was 11 months old on november 8. we've been delayed in posting our pics b/c a virus of epic proportion hit the white house this week. garrett & brian were both down & out much of the week. the little guy's still trying to recover but i really hope we're on the mend!

can't believe that we're getting so close to g's first birthday. but in the last month he celebrated his first halloween (as a monkey!), attended his first neighborhood bash, went to our 10-year college reunion with us, hit his cousin jackson's 4th birthday party, really started shaking his head "no-no" & definitively signing "more"; he's starting to let go of cruising & taking some *lunging* steps @ us.

his biggest feat in the last month? climbing the bin of books in our bedroom to then STAND on our TV table & bang the top of the television...i was in our bathroom & thought "that doesn't sound right!" i came around the corner to see him lift the second leg onto the table. we've got a climber, people!!!

his monthly monkey picture was once again a challenge this month - even w/ brian here helping me...these pics kind of show the progression of me chasing him around all angles of our bed & brian trying to get him back into place - holy moly - baby on the move!!!

Great pics!! I bet you guys had a blast taking those...

It's amazing how quickly time has gone that he's almost one year old already!! How exciting!

Glad I got to see him last month- even though it was for a brief amount of time.

Love you!!!!!
