11 months

A certain baby little boy turned 11 months last week. 11 months!! That's almost one year.

This kid is working on his 8th tooth. He stands unsupported and takes a few steps into the arms of mama and daddy. A few weeks ago, Nate and I turned around to see him standing on his own and clapping. A few days ago, we turned around to find him on top of a high piece of furniture. He's quite the climber. He talks a lot, hand gestures and everything - they're just not real words.

And... Zander has his own, very strong opinions. Like deciding that he does not want his picture taken at the park.

I know, it's just the beginning.
