11 months

I can't believe my baby is a month away from being ONE! It's amazing to see each day how much he changes. He has been taking steps the last couple weeks and as of today he was able to do three in a row. We know that any day now he will be walking full time and it's exciting but also very scary. His new sound that he makes sounds like an owl or in the spirit of Christmas 'Ho Ho Ho'. He is very dramatic in his facial expressions and even in the way he crawls. I think he probably got that from his daddy......
Leo got his first cat scratch this weekend as he decided to drag Ms. Nellie Bellie across the living room by her tail. We all know that he probably deserved that a long time ago but that little girl kitty is so patient with him she gave him his moments until she couldn't take it no more. We think that Leo might have felt bad about the incident as he wouldn't stop snuggling on her later that day. Man is it the cutest thing ever to see him hugging the kitties!
Bath time or splash, splash, splash, like we like to call it, as always been a fun time for Leo until this past week. I don't know if he had a nightmare or what but two times this week he screamed and wouldn't stop. While I hate to see him upset, I have to admit the way he holds on to me tight is quite wonderful. He'd do anything not to get in to that water. That was until today. He put up a little fight at first but warmed up quickly. It's the little moments like bath time that I learn to appreciate....it's great bonding time. No cares in the world during bath time. I must add one more story about bath time. Today Leo decided that he was thirsty so he dipped his head down and took a drink. Nasty! How in the world do babies think of these things? He is a smart little bugger.
Leo continues to amaze us each day and while we don't want him to grow up we look forward to future and the memories we will create.

Now to catch up on my photos......It was Thanksgiving time in KC!
