12 months

Milestones and happenings during your eleventh month:

• You're officially walking!  You can make it all the way across rooms and even change directions!  You usually pull up on something and then take off, but you have just started standing up on your own too.
• Our baby boy is off the bottle!  When you turned 11 months old, you were drinking four bottles of formula a day.  We started introducing whole milk in a sippie cup to see if you liked it. (You did!)  That first week, we took away your nighttime bottle.  (I had thought this one would be the last one to get rid of, but you had been going to bed early and didn't even want a bottle.)  The next week, we dropped your mid-morning bottle.  Your teachers said you didn't even miss it.  They gave you a snack and cup of milk instead of a bottle and you adjusted perfectly.  The following week, we got rid of your mid-afternoon bottle. Again, we replaced the feeding with a snack and milk.  The day of your birthday, we dropped your morning/breakfast bottle.  This one was the trickiest because you are pretty grumpy and hungry when you wake up and the bottle calmed you down before you ate your breakfast.  You have been doing great and we are so thankful that you adjusted so easily!  Farewell, formula...the checkbook will NOT miss you!
• You became a "Daddy's Boy" when Mom went out of town for a weekend.  The entire next week, you only wanted Daddy and Da-Da was about the only thing you would say.
• You were on antibiotics for the entire month for an ear infection.  After the first round of antibiotics didn't clear it up, you started taking a different antibiotic for another 10 days.  At your 12 month check up, we found out that you STILL have an ear infection so we are on antibiotic #3.
• You still LOVE baths.
• You still HATE getting your diaper changed.
• Teeth Count: 6 (4 on top & 2 on bottom)
• Sleeping Habits: 12 hours at night, 1-2 hours during the day

Campbell Clark on his FIRST Birthday!

His teachers gave him balloons the day before his birthday so we took them into his room and sang "Happy Birthday" to him when he woke up in the morning.
