A Scotty Update Part 1

I know it's been forever. I'm not really good at this whole blogging thing! But I figure better late than never, right? :) This is going to be a really long post about the most adorable boy in the world.

Scotty is almost 11 months old now. He is adorable!!! His personality is just coming out! 

Size: He weighs 23 lbs and wears size 18 month clothes and we think he's about 30" tall. 

Chompers: He has the cutest toothy grin with 5 teeth! 2 on top and 3 on the bottom. 

Fun Things: He waves hi and bye. He can blow things and he blows kisses. Scotty also has started imitating sounds and movements. Like at church when we raise our arm to give a sustaining vote he now raises his arm too! He points his finger. It’s so funny because if he wants it really bad sometimes he’ll point so hard he starts shaking! If he wants you to come over to him he’ll keep waving his arm at you.

Words: Dada, mama, byebye, grandpa, that, and go! 

Sounds: He likes to mimic sounds. He can growl, bark, and tweet :)

On the MOVE: Most exciting news is that he can take 3 steps by himself! Not really interested in just walking though. Why walk when you can crawl faster?? He’s a turbo crawler and can get anywhere in no time flat! He can stand by himself and when he’s really excited he’ll dance :)

Music: He LOVES music. He any time he hears music he starts conducting it. He’s got rhythm that’s for sure.

Foods: He hates baby food now. Forget that, he’s a big boy. His favorite food are bananas. He could eat 5 bananas a day if we let him. He also loves pretzels, cookies (not that we give him cookies...) 

He found a sugar cookie bar without me seeing and
shoved it in his mouth as fast as he could!

apple sauce, bread items, sometimes he’ll eat rice cereal with fruit, gold fish crackers, cheerios and other dry cereal.


Sleeping: For the most part he sleeps really well. Some nights we’ve had to let him cry a little but he has been pretty good! One night last week he slept 9 hours straight. HALLELUJAH!
