11 months

Here's my big guy in his pjs this morning.

 At 11 months, Griffin has perfected the 'scream until you get your way' technique and found it quite effective. He's still insisting on walking around holding on to my hands and as soon as he lets go, he collapses to the floor. Of course, since he screams until I give in and walk around with him a little more, he has no reason to walk on his own.

 Plus he's a speedy crawler for times when he wants to get somewhere quickly. Like when we all walk out of a room and leave him sitting alone. Jonah didn't have to worry about either of those issues since our apartment was so tiny there was no room to walk him around, or leave him unattended.

 Griffin has decided that he likes avacado but still doesn't like bananas. I can't think of anything else he just absolutely refuses and I wish it wasn't bananas - they are such an easy snack.

He absolutely loves swim lessons. Our friend Maureen teaches them and he loves splashing and blowing bubbles. He will even go under the water with me.

He has seven teeth now.

He is really babbling, with his favorite go-to sound being dada. He'll say mama, but not all the time. He'll wake up in the middle of the night and just jabber away.

He figured out how to point.

He loves to watch Jonah and has a knack for laughing at the wrong time (like when Jonah is hurt or in trouble).

 

Has a sweet laugh and loves to give hugs.

Will turn one year old in 28 days. Can you believe it!?!
