Kellan: 11 Months Old

Kellan weights 18 lbs 3.5 oz.  He hasn't gained much weight this last month.  He is getting better at walking.  He can now take 6 or 7 steps before he falls.  He can crawl up and down stairs.  He loves pushing his cars around while on his hands and knees.  He is getting better at eating table food and is always begging us whenever we have food.  He is still picky with his food so we are working on that.  For the past 3 days he has started throwing fits.  He will throw himself backwards and then look around to see if mom saw the whole thing.  If I act like I didn't see him, then he will do it again, sometimes crawling closer to me to make sure I get a front row seat.  He can sign sleep, eat, milk, and cracker.  Sometimes he will sign sleep when he is tired, but not all the time yet.  He can say dad, mama, and hi.  He can clap his hands to Patti-cake and he likes to dance to music.  He is growing out of his 9 month clothes and he fits better in his 12 month clothes.  He still takes 2-3 naps a day.  When he doesn't get his third nap in he usually goes to bed early around 6:30.  He still wakes up around 5 a.m. just to jabber for 5 minutes and then he goes back to sleep til about 6:00. He loves to destroy things and rip things a part.   He also loves to play ball and he loves banging on anything that will make a loud noise.
