11-month Milestones

We've been jotting these down each month in various places, most recently and consistently in a day planner for the 2004-2005 academic year. I had to write last month's list in the back on a notes page. I am collecting these with the idea that I will transfer them in much nicer handwriting than my own (by borrowing someone for a few hours?) into Miles' baby book which I haven't yet started. He turned 11 months on Wednesday, so before we forget what he was able to do when, here's the list:


  • Has 8 teeth, possibly a few new ones coming in since he drools non-stop
  • Weighs 25 pounds
  • Naps twice per day. Very cranky when he misses one.
  • As of Labor Day, likes it when you hold his hands and help him walk.
  • Loves swimming. Went to first swimming lesson and didn't like getting dunked but liked everything else.
  • Can stand by himself well, walks along holding onto the wall.
  • Enjoys playing piano.
  • Starting to feed himself with a spoon
  • Words: bye-bye, mama, dada/gaga, baba (baby), ba (ball or banana)
  • Sounds (some of these are questionable): cow, elephant, cat, ambulance, train
  • Favorite books: Opposites, But not the Hippopotamus, Hop on Pop
  • Good at mimicry
  • Still likes to play piano several times a day
  • Can climb into and out of little tikes car
