Mack- 11 months!

It's hard to believe, but Mack is 11 months old today! He is growing so fast, and is already wearing 18 month sized clothing. Mack's favorite toy right now is an old DSL phone line filter. He carries it everywhere with him- seriously. Even to bed. He also loves his bunny blankie named "Buddy". He has transitioned to a sippy cup exclusively and I cannot tell you how happy I am to not be washing bottles every night! He loves any and all foods and eats mostly table foods at this point. His favorite so far seems to be lasagna or any pasta and sauce. He has gone through a little bit of separation anxiety lately, but it seems to really only affect him in the late afternoons right now during his fussy time. He sleeps well (most nights!) and goes to bed around 7:30 p.m. He typically wakes up very happy around 7:45 a.m. or 8:00 a.m. and plays happily in his crib until I go get him. What a blessing this has been! He crawls very quickly and is beginning to get into several things around the house that he shouldn't such as dog food or the computer power cords. He still has bright blue eyes and his hair is beginning to grow in- and I think it's going to be a strawberry blonde! My grandmother had red hair as does my cousin Katie, so I wouldn't be shocked if it's got a little bit of red in it. He is definitely beginning to demonstrate his little will and is upset when he doesn't get his way. He loves to be held and he has a beautiful smile that lights up his whole face. He is definitely a blessing to our family.

We love you Mack!
