10 - 11 Month: Crusing and Walking

10 Months
May 6th~ June 6th, 2013



 You are a very independent guy these days--crawling, cruising and standing like a pro!









 Stink face is still an all time favorite and you make it difficult to get a nice smiling picture of you because the moment you see the camera you feel the need to bust this face out! Still adorable :)


You love racing in 5 K's with your Mama! 
Auntie Bethany and your Dada ran with us on Memorial Day!



 

First time swimming! We went to see Mommy's friend Erika and you were a natural at kicking your feet and splashing with your hands!


Playing with your friend Izzy after swimming! 


Stealing the remote back and forth from each other! Obviously, a favorite toy for both of you!


Celebrating Grampy Vincent's Birthday! 
Actually, now that I think about it, he is very likely the inspiration/culprit of this stink face you do! He is most certainly known for a repertoire of faces! 
Great Grammy is your new favorite though because she sneaks you big pieces of delicious cake!


Conquering the stoop with ease these days!







Here you are giving your Dada his first Father's Day gifts of a new watch, clothes and a travel mug that you made with your hand prints, saying how much you love him!
The big surprise that you had for us both though was that you took your FIRST STEPS from the couch to both of our arms! You  had 2 steps of walking in and felt so proud that you started clapping for yourself which caused you to fall forward:) We are proud of you too buddy!



Attack of the "Stink Face!"









 You and Great Grandma Klein hanging out at the Father's Day Party! This Great Grandma also is a favorite because of the sweets she slips you :) 


Great Grandpa Klein, Dad and you on Father's Day! Note Great Grandpa would not put his coffee and cookie down for the picture:) You absolutely love clapping now and clap for your accomplishments, music, cheering and of course more food! 




11 Month's
June 6th~ July 6th 2013

 First time in Wyoga Lake and on the beach! You love them both, and love playing with your cousin Casey! You also became very chatty this month saying all sorts of vowels and consonants with "Zhewy" being one of your favorites! You have also learned the concept of "NO" and shake your head no when you know it's something you shouldn't be doing! 



You also love attacking the camera:)




Digging a hole with Grandpa Klein as he admires your Excellent fine motor skills:)








Clapping it up for fun with Dada in the water and sand!






You are a very good splasher!  This is fitting since your favorite book is your "Splash, Splash," which became your favorite when you figured out how to lift the tabs to create sounds!
You also find Mommy putting cups on her head and you trying to put them on your head to be very funny! Not quite as funny as Dad tickling you with his feet though! That makes you laugh uncontrollably!



You are quite the good eater, never rejecting much of anything except kiwi and loving new foods like mushrooms, olives, lemon water, and watermelon! You literally put your head down and lick your tray off after eating--not sacrificing one morsel! And you thoroughly enjoy drinking water from Mommy's camelbak thermos! 

You also love swinging in the backyard or at Wyoga Lake park! 




Mommy cannot resist sneaking in and admiring your adorable butt in the air sleeping pose everyday before she goes to work!  


 Your new favorite show to watch with Mommy and Daddy is "Family Feud!" We aren't sure if it's the lights, sounds or clapping, but it is fun for all:)




First trip to the Akron Zoo!






This was your face most of the time at the zoo...the what-in-the-world-is-that face!


The Jellyfish were definite Favorites!


We met Mommy and Daddy's friend Ann and your friend Joey there! 



You love going to "Kleinville" to play with Grandma and Grandpa! This is one of your favorite toys!


You love watching all your Klein cousins play and the iPad is pretty sweet as well:) You also have discovered Siri on Mommy and Daddy's iPhones:)



You love splashing in the bath, but when it comes to rinsing the ol' hair off, you literally attempt to claw and climb your way out ASAP! 







Meeting your new cousin Lincoln on his 3rd day in this world!







Observing Dad and his shushing skills:) Not convinced!




 You and your cousin already have a lot in common: you both weighed 7lbs. 7oz. and have ridiculous amounts of hair!

As if meeting this new little guy wasn't already exciting enough, your Dad was asked to be Lincoln's Godfather!
