11 months

I am woefully behind on a "Robbie is 11 months!" post, and I think that it is going to stay that way.

We have the photo, just not the laptop to upload it to right now.

So yesterday's videos will have to suffice with a few data points.  I'll add the photos when I get back to computer-having... whenever that may be.

• Robbie's on the move.  Not quite walking, and I don't necessarily think close to walking.  He doesn't seem that interested unless there's something to push or hold on to.  He's no where near standing up alone without assistance. I think it'll be another month or so.  It's like his little feet have absolutely no idea what to do.

• He's starting to learn how to play independently.  Play independently often involves climbing the stairs, pulling on laptop cords, or trying to eat Daisy's ears... so we take what we can get.

• He LOVES to throw a ball.  LOVES it.  So much that although we say that his first word was "mamamamaaaaaa" (or daaaa) (or deedee aka Daisy) (depending on who you ask)... i think it's pretty obvious his first word is ball.  We'll take it.  Look out Washington Nationals!  Or Shotputting!  Or football (kicker)

• He's revolting against all thing vegetable.  But can otherwise eat like a 16 year old boy.

• He's starting to understand directions and even listen to them sometimes.  "Sit down", "Bring mama xxx", just some basics.  But he's turning into a real person.  And a fun little dude.
