Happy 11 Months to my Handsome Big Boy! Wait…what??? 11 months?!
:s
It seems like only yesterday that I was pregnant…but at the
same time it feels like a thousand years ago.
I guess when you’re in the thick of it…time ticks so slowly, but then
when you look back, it’s hard to believe the year is almost gone! And oh boy, what a year of changes!

Well ladies and ummm ladies. (I don’t think many gentlemen
read this blog), WE HAVE A CRAWLER!!!
Nov. 6
th is the official documented date when he crawled from
the carpet to the dog dish.
Yum….Kibble!
I was getting worried that he was never going to figure it out – and now my
world is suddenly a lot busier.
He is
into everything! Drawers, cupboards, bags!
Gone are the days where you could plonk him down in the center of a room
and be confident that he wouldn’t get into trouble.
Along with the crawling, came the “pulling
up” and “furniture cruising” - which has caused a few lumps, bumps, and tears!!!
Oh…and it also created some attitude!
Mr. Independent suddenly realizes that he
gets a say (or so he thinks) about when and where he wants to go.
Now we’re all waiting for (or dreading?) the
next milestone…walking!
:)
We put up the Christmas tree a little early - an artificial. I have always decorated for Christmas, but
now having a little one, it feels so much more important to make all the holidays
special and create traditions.
Initially, he was petrified of the green tree “limbs” that I brought up
by the armloads from the basement. He
would tentatively reach out to touch them and quickly draw back as if he’d been
bitten. Oh how I wish he was still
terrified of the tree! I finally had to
move all of the ornaments and lights half way up as it was his single daily
mission to remove/rearrange/eat whatever he could touch…including the
artificial pine needles. Sigh. He’s like a cat that eats the tinsel!

Thankfully we found daycare for Bryce.
She comes highly recommended and had MUCH
more interest than available spots.
She
is only taking 3 little ones so I feel blessed to be “one of the chosen”.
As I said to “Daddy” at the interview…WE were
the ones really being interviewed for her service!
It’s definitely going to be an adjustment for
all of us!
And poor wee Bryce…he is
unfortunately going to be “thrown into the fire” without the traditional week
of “pre-visits”.
The daycare is not actually
re-opening until January after being closed for a year due to family reasons.
There will be no time for slow integration!
:(
We are busily and excitedly planning for Bryce’s 1st
Birthday party which will be a joint celebration with his Great Grandma who
will be 99 years old! I look forward to
posting pictures on the 12th month update!
That's it for now. See you back here soon.
