Brady Christopher -- 11 Months

  Brady turned 11 months... a few days ago.  My baby is going to be one year old in less than a month.  Wow.  That flew.

Here is Brady at 11 months of age -- it is very hard to get him to sit still for a picture these days.

Here he is as a newborn...

And here is the comparison of all six kiddos at eleven months of age:

Top left to right - Tracey, Brady, Caroline

Bottom left to right - Hunter, Howard, Lee Lee

Weight: 

Unofficially - 20 pounds (and just FYI for anyone interested... Hunter is 25 pounds)

Length:  

I'm not sure... but probably 28-29"?  He's growing.

Clothing size: 

Twelve month or 18 month clothing.  He's mostly wearing 12 month clothing, but 18 month sleepers, and a few pairs of 18 month pants.  The 18 month clothing is big on him... but the 12 month is getting snug (especially because his clothing are all hand-me-downs which have been washed and dried hundreds of times already).

 

Eating:  

Brady is a terrific eater and there is very little he will not try.  His 2 bottom front teeth are fully grown in, and his 2 top front teeth are just poking through.  He eats anything he is served, and is quick to grab a siblings plate if he runs out of food or if they have something on their plate that he thinks looks good.  

Sleeping:  

Brady is in a very good sleeping routine at the moment -- in bed around 7:00pm with a bottle, and sleeps until around 8:00am or so.
