Tucker's Latest Accomplishments

Tucker has been super busy lately showing off his new accomplishments!

He's a full time walker now, sometimes even standing still in the middle of his treks. He's also able to change directions with only a slight wobble in his step. He reverts to crawling every now and then - usually when he has fallen and doesn't want to mess with standing back up.

Tucker is also mastering the art of imitation! He has a funny monster (demon?) voice that he sometimes uses during his babbling rants. If he's babbling normally and you say something to him in a monster voice, he starts using his monster voice too! It's so funny!

We're working on not only weaning Tucker from nursing (only 2-a-days now!), but also weaning him from the bottle. He has really taken to the sippy cup which we now use for all formula and juice. I even sanitized all of his bottles and whatnots so they can be put away.

On Sunday, Tucker started clapping! So when we wanted him to clap, we would clap and he would just clap away! He would drop whatever he was playing with just so he could clap!

He's still working on waving bye-bye. Last Saturday, we were having breakfast and he started waving really big so I waved back. We did this for a good 2 or 3 minutes!

And yesterday, Tucker showed us he's quite the Casanova! He decided it was time to start giving kisses! He won't kiss on demand - only on his terms. But he opens his mouth and kinda just touches his face to yours. It's the sweetest kiss I've ever received!

Tucker continues to amaze us. It's like one day, he's doing this, and the next, he's doing the complete opposite! He'll be 11 months old on Saturday. He's accomplished so much in 11 months, I wonder what he'll do in the next 11?
