Maddox - 11 mos.

My goodness, time has flown since over two months ago when I posted, and even longer since I did a post on Maddox.  He is now 11 mos. and growing like crazy. At his last appointment he was 18.9 lbs. He's rolling and army crawling all over the place, pushing back to sitting, saying "da-da" a lot, and eats just about anything we give him. Pasta, pb & j, pizza, yeah, anything he can feed himself and make a nice big mess. It's amazing what he can do with one tooth. He has appeared to sign "more" several times, "all done" once, and copied me when I signed "milk" the other day. He definitely wants to communicate but right now only knows how to use grunting and whining. I will be thrilled when he picks up on the whole baby signing thing since it will be so nice to know what he wants.
He's a great sleeper, still taking two solid naps and sleeping 12+ hours each night. 

 He loves family and older kids of course when he gets lots of attention.
Lailey, cousin Katie, cousin Gracie, and Maddox
Along with feeding himself he can drink from a straw cup and really likes to do so. He still really likes his bottle for mealtimes, but we're working on transitioning to a cup. 

 He is the sweetest, happiest little guy I know. He wakes up smiling, goes to bed smiling, loves to laugh, will smile at anybody, and is all in all a pretty easy going kid. He and Lailey adore each other, which I'm sure won't last forever, but is sure a joy to watch right now.
Oh and one more thing: he gives kisses and hugs...but only to me. :)
