We’ve had a good week! Jack is officially 11 months old! Unbelievable!! He’s been his happy, getting into everything self. We finally bought the things for the kitchen cabinets that are supposed to prevent Jack from opening them.. yeah, he’s smarter than the plastic do-hickies cause he pulls them right off.

Anyway, here is the email telling me what 11-month old babies are doing:

At eleven months old, babies usually range from 27.25 inches long and 17.5 pounds (10th percentile) to 30.25 inches long and 23 pounds (90th percentile).

Can you believe how quickly this year has passed and that in four short weeks your baby will be one year old? You may notice that she is beginning to organize objects by their colors, shapes and sizes as she is able to recognize patters and similarities. Your baby may even start trying to stack blocks; however, it may take a while longer for her to succeed in balancing one on top of another. Mirrors are still a mystery, and she may try to grab objects she sees in one.

Your baby’s appetite will go through many changes and about this time it might drop, even while her interest in food increases. Babies usually triple their birth weight by their first birthday, but only gain a few pounds between the first and second. Don’t worry about your baby not eating enough, she will eat all she needs, and will learn to stop when she is full.

Your baby is now able to stand without holding on and may be taking a few steps all by herself. She will be very unsteady on her feet at first and will stumble and fall frequently. While standing, your baby probably keeps her legs spread far apart to aid her balance. You may also notice that your baby’s feet are nearly flat and that her toes point in a bit as she steps. This is absolutely normal at this age and her feet will straighten as she learns to walk better.

And, finally here are some more recent pictures (there were 100 of them sitting in the camera!):

He’s even feeding himself!
