Ephram at 11 months

I cannot believe Ephram is 11 months old and will be one next month! This last year has flown by. Our sweet boy still loves to snuggle. He is getting better about not being held in the evenings. Probably every other night he will sit in the kitchen floor and play while I make dinner. The other nights he is either being held, being worn or just suffering :) Ephram hit the height limit for the infant carrier last month, so we have been transitioning to the next step in car seats. He is supposed to be rear facing until 2. We made it to 22 months with Wills before we felt sorry for his cramped legs and turned him around. Who knows how long we will make it with Ephram!

This kiddo is still an amazing sleeper. He is still taking two naps a day. I think the teething has messed up his sleep some over the last month. He has woken up screaming early in the morning a few times. A few of his afternoon naps have been rough with intermittent crying as well. Overall though, sleep is awesome.

We had appointments with our pediatrician and Ephram's surgeon this month. I posted about the appointments here.  Ephram is majorly on the move. He is crawling and cruising all over the place. He will go from the couch to the coffee table and back. He also started using his walker this month. I think he is going to walk sooner than Wills did. We will see.

Food is still a huge hit around here. We haven't discovered anything new that he doesn't like. We are still working on sippy cups. He uses them, but still prefers his bottle. We also introduced milk this month. He will drink it, but doesn't appear to love it. Hopefully this changes over the next month.
