11/12ths

Francis turned 11 months old today and looks more like a little boy now. He's still not walking, but likes to climb onto low objects and got stuck in a box yesterday (I didn't have a camera handy, but I'm sure he'll do it again).

Francis continues to defy the advise of baby experts everywhere by surviving on less than 9 hours of sleep a night. Last weekend he woke up around 5:15, ready to start the day. After eating, playing, eating, and going for an hour-long walk, we still managed to get to the post office and library before they opened.

Francis continues to enjoy crawling around in the grass which he did last weekend at Centennial Park. He got to try one bite of milkshake which he loved. His new favorite foods are waffles, kiwis, blueberries and fake sausages.

Francis's hair is ridiculously long but is not noticeable unless it's wet (as seen in the bathtub photos below).

Francis is finally interested in sitting still long enough to be read a short book. He has recently added Are You My Mother and Big Dog Little Dog to the collection.
