At 11 months old... a little late

Henry was 11 months on the 22nd of February. I can't believe in one week he will be a full 12 months old! I can't get over how time has flown. I love this little dude more than anything and each day I am amazed by him and his ability to learn new things and explore his surroundings. Trust me, if there is something he should not be getting into, he will find a way to do it! It's kinda hard to get upset with a kid who is this cute ( I might be a little biased!). Henry still takes a bath in his baby tub. I haven't put him in the actual tub for three reasons. The first is because he still fits into the baby tub. He doesn't seem to feel confined and enjoys playing in there still. The second reason is because I can't justify filling an entire tub for him to take a bath for 10 minutes. To me, it seems like such a waste of water. The third reason, and really this is a good reason, Ryan has to get a new plug for the drain because ours leaks and the tub won't stay full! But I am really ok with him staying in his baby tub for as long as he likes because when he goes to the big tub, it's just another sign he is getting bigger and I would like to prolong that as long as possible! Call me selfish. :)

Here is Henry with his bear at 11 months. He is on his knee here and has surpassed the height of his bear! I have said it before, this child LOVES this bear. Anytime we are playing in his room and you say the words, "you go get that bear", and he will dive onto it and try to wrestle him. It is just so much fun to watch Henry actually understand what I say but also be excited to interact and really begin playing with the toys in his room! Finally, the toys are being put to good use. For a while I was sure the kid only liked cell phones, computers, remote controls, and the land line house phone. I was beginning to think I bought all these toys for nothing!
