Kellen is 11 months old!

ELEVEN MONTHS????!!  REALLY??!  It's hard for me to believe that in a mere 4 weeks Kellen will be an official toddler!  It just seems like yesterday he was learning how to crawl!  Our big boy turned 11 months old today and this last month was quite the memorable one.  We survived the biggest snow storm yet and managed to scare away the stomach flu after it tormented us for a week.  Kellen now has 5 teeth (3 on top and 2 on the bottom) and is taking 3-4 steps!!  Yup, this lil' guy will be walking in NO time!!  He is so determined that he sometimes forgets that his body hasn't quite figured out the whole walking thing yet.  He'll let go of a piece of furniture and his legs will take off and then, boom, he crashes.  Colin and I are convinced that one day everything will just click and he'll take off without turning back.  That will definitely be the day our lives change forever!  HA!  Kellen has grown up so much this month.  His personality has a little "edge" to it.  I'm thinking he is going to be a little spitfire just like his daddy was when he was little.  He has learned how to say "dog" (sounds more like "daw").  It has become the word he says repeatedly after waking up in the morning as he looks around the room for Pippen.  Kellen has also become quite the dancer.  This kid bobs his head and rocks back and forth to the beat of any song.  Definitely gets his rhythm from his mommy (hee hee).  Kellen is also the best cuddle bug in the whole world!  He is going through the "I want my mommy only" stage right now, which can be a bit exhausting, but I'm enjoying every minute of him wanting to be in my arms because I know it's not going to last forever.  The day will come when he will only want daddy.  Until then, each snuggle, each arm reaching out for me, each "momma!" is being forever cherished in my heart.  ;-)
