River is 11 months old!

Well, its official, River is 1 month away from being a year old! He has changed SO much in the last month! He says, "na, na" for nurse, "momma", and "dada." He claps, he dances, he walks, he signs "all done" after meals, he bites when he's really mad, he can't seem to get enough of his animals- even if they scratch him, he sleeps very well in his own bed-the pack-n-play at the end of our own, he points, he has a really great sense of humor- often doing things just to get us to laugh- nothing like a diaper on the head for a laugh! He eats 3-5 meals a day, but nothing soupy, especially NOT applesauce! He already gripes at his sister if she does something he doesn't like-- mostly just giving it back to her when she's grumpy with him. He is quick to smile, but only a little harder to make laugh. He's not as snuggly as he used to be, unless he's tired. He's a wiggler and nonstop mover and gibberish talker. He loves to take a bath, but not as much as he used to- he doesn't mind the shower with a parent either-- as long as water is involved. He prefers his mom, but gets REALLY excited whenever his dad comes home from work and demands to be held by him immediately. He loves to watch his sister and you can tell he wishes he could run around and play with her. He would eat forever, if we let him. He's quick to anger, but unlike his sister who holds a grudge for years, he's quick to let it go. He gets into all the things he shouldn't, unlike Summer who was as close to a perfect baby as you could get. He's stubborn, but easily distracted. He's both difficult and easy-- he does a lot of things we wish he wouldn't, but his easy-going and loving personality makes up for it, so you almost don't mind. Thats all for now!
