11 Months: Wesley

*Finally learned how to crawl!! It started out slowly (a little after 10 months) but then he got the hang of it pretty quickly and now he's all over the place! He even crawls over to things and pulls himself up all the time. He has "cruised" a few times but doesn't do it consistently. Now that he crawls he is such a happy baby. Instead of sitting there whining, he can actually move and go get what he wants. This is really nice!
*Has begun the process of weaning himself from breast feeding. He has very little interest in breast feeding (except in the morning). Actually this has been going on for a while but I've forced it because I love it too much, but now I'm at the point where I'm ready to finally let him win. I'm sure in the next week or so we'll be completely done and on to bottles... Does that mean my baby is really growing up? I hope not!!
*Will occasionally say "mmmmom" when he is crawling toward me (usually when he is unhappy and wants me) but doesn't say it on command or anything. Also, I think he is started to know what "dad" means. Mostly however, he doesn't say much. He also started saying "ya" a lot so that might be his 3rd word. haha.  (so much better than "no"!)
*Picky picky picky... He is a great eater if you give him something he likes (ie peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) but if it's not something he knows he likes, he doesn't often try it or anything. It is quite frustrating. I will keep trying but seriously, who's ever hear of a kid that doesn't eat hot dogs or mac and cheese!!! Thankfully, our little veggie and fruit packages help us stay a little bit healthy...
*Started to enjoy reading books. He loves the books with little lift the flap things on the pages. His favorite book is "Dear Zoo"
*Loves to play peek-a-boo
*Started waving when we say "hi!" It's the most adorable thing when he opens and closes his hand and looks at it like, "ya, I CAN do that!" It's so fun!
*Learned how to clap. So now we say "Yay Wesley!" and he claps and gets the biggest smile like he is so proud of himself!! 
*Is adorable and has me completely smitten. Every time he looks at me and gives me a big smile, it just melts my heart! I love that boy so much!!
