10-11 months

little butternut is 10.5 months...he is hilarious and so so sweet. lately, however, he is quite the reminder that patience is not a natural human quality. he gets especially frustrated when dinner is over...the boy can EAT. at his last weight check he was just over 20lb in the 50th %, 75th% for height, and 90th for head circumference. he eats tons of solid food (his favorites being homemade bread and whole milk yogurt), and still nurses 3 x a day. he can only seem to concentrate on nursing if we are in a dark room alone because apparently he has things to do. he is very busy making messes, army crawling and pulling up. i think he may skip the normal crawling as he seems to prefer the uber-inefficient method he has worked out of dragging his body across the floor propelled only by the right foot. marit may be our only child to actually crawl and she was the one in the brace! anyway, miles is well-loved by us all and we are so thankful for this wiggly, smiley, cuddly bundle.
and it is time for baby gates!
