Eleven Months!!!!!!!

WOW!  We have been so busy the last few days that this blog post is OVER A WEEK LATE!  Sorry to keep all of you Baby Yoshi fans waiting.  Get ready...because The Yosh is more awesome than ever now that he is eleven months old!!!!!

Peyton is growing up so fast.  We feel like everyday he is doing something new!

This baby is an official crawler!

Baby Yosh also likes to crawl around in his crib when he wakes up.  Sometimes he sits and 'talks' to his blue elephant, Mr. Softy Soft.

He is still walking a few steps on his own... he also practices walking with only one hand AND standing by himself while clapping!

When Peyton is walking with an adult, he likes to open and close all of the doors in the house!

Baby Yoshi dances all the time.  He especially likes to play the songs on his musical barn so he can have a dance party on his play mat.

This baby loves to pick up papers...so naturally he enjoys straw wrappers...

And couponing.

He can hold his own juice cup...but still needs some help getting the juice out when it isn't full!!

The Yosh is getting better at feeding himself and not gagging on solids.  However, a lot of the time, this baby has a hard time keeping cereal puffs in his mouth.  He chews and then spits them out.  Note bib.

Peyton likes to eat waffle wheels (and spit them out) for snacks!

Baby Yosh can ride on his new blue rocking horse!  Super fun!

Peyton is getting more and more interested in looking at books.

Baby Yoshi practices squatting down and standing up in his play pen.

He also is practicing driving.  Legal driving age will be here before you know it.  :)

This month The Yosh also...

visited Grandma and met cousins, Bill and Stephanie!

went swimming in his fish raft!

helped out with chores.

held hands when he was sad.  It helped!

felt the breeze from his fan in his long wavy hair.  Someone needs a haircut!

Check out this smiley baby and the awesome video of him laughing at Aunt Laura below!  Everything is funny when you are 11 months old!

That's all for now!  Enjoy these random Yosh pics.  Next time you see a post it will be THE BIG ONE!!!!!!!!

Ten Months!

We are a day late with this blog post...so Baby Yoshi was 10 months old yesterday!!!!!!

AND...it's a day late, but The Yosh took some steps today on his own!

Besides walking, Peyton has been doing all kinds of big boy things!!  He can pull himself up to standing, play peek a boo by covering up his face with a blanket, clap, shake his head, give a high five, wave 'bye bye', give kisses, and make all kinds of noises.  He also likes to pretend to 'snap' himself into his car seat and high chair.

The Yosh is also eating baby cereal puffs.  And when we say eat, we mean 'gag on'.  But...he is getting better at it.  He likes to practice chewing when he eats.  :)

We figured he was ready to help with some chores around the house.

Mom is home for summer break.  She and Peyton have been doing lots of swimming.

(testing out the pool before it's put to good use!)

Besides swimming, Peyton has been enjoying...

cupcake holders

walking with adults

his Baby Bjorn

paper towel tubes

playing hide and seek

dogs

chillaxing in his many pack and plays

taking things out of drawers and cupboards

playing with daddy

and much, much more!!!!

Check out this video of our happy baby laughing until he literally falls over.

 Have a happy day!  See you next month!
