Happy 11 Months Kman!

Today my little guy is 11 months old! My Mom started reminiscing about my pregnancy and how it seemed like it took forever for Kutler to get here, but this past year has gone incredibly fast!! I can still remember how I felt this time last year....nothing short of miserable! I was huge and this baby couldn't come fast enough!! And now that he is here, I just wish I could put our time together in slow motion.  Everyday he discovers something new and becomes a little more independent. While I'm happy he is learning and discovering so much, there is part of me that's a little sad.  But, it's all part of being a Mom - I'm just grateful to be Kutler's Mom.

A few of Kutler's favorites:
-Playing with Dada - we look forward to Daddy coming home every day!
-Yo Gabba Gabba
-His Monkey
-Swinging
-Going for walks
-Bubble baths
-Reading books
-Climbing
-Pressing buttons
-Bible Class
-Play dates
-Talking (that includes talking on the phone)
-Helping Mommy cook (aka - opeining all the doors and drawers)
-Helping the plants grow (aka - pulling on the leaves)

His newest accomplishment-trying to walk! Yesterday he took one step and he has taken a couple more today.  He is very careful and makes sure I'm right there in case he starts to fall.  I love the look on his face when he tries something new or discovers something.  He looks at me with pure amazement - eyes wide open just staring at me in awe! He has the most beautiful smile, with 6 sparkling white teeth (almost 7) and the biggest blues eyes (Thank you Grammie).  I can almost hear him say "Look Mom! Isn't this awesome!!"
I wouldn't trade this time with him for anything in the world - being a Mom is hard....some days it's really really hard! But it is the most rewarding job ever - when he grabs my cheeks and plants a huge, slobbery kiss on my mouth - makes everything worth it!!!

Here are a couple pictures from the past month:

 He is always willing to try whatever we are having for dinner! And loves corn on the cob!!

 Headed out for a walk - looking cool!

 Playing on his slide!

This picture makes me laugh - looks like a little wanna be gangsta!

One month from today we will be celebrating the BIG FIRST BIRTHDAY!!! I guess I better start making plans!!

Count Your Blessing!
