John Parker at 11 months

Saturdays don't leave a lot of time for blogging at my house, so I'm posting this a day early.  We're nearing the first birthday and I cannot believe it! Here's what our little man is up to:
  • Babbling more and more; not really a talker yet.  I'm trying not to worry about this.  I know he's a boy and his big sister says everything for him.  I have to admit, I'll be a little sad when his primary form of communication is no longer growling.  It's pretty cute :)
  • Walking all over the place.  He moved up to the Wobbler Room at school and being with all the older boys (and one girl) has been strong motivation.  Fred says he looks like Frankenstein when he walks.
  • Still not a bottle lover (hallelujah that we're almost done with that), but loves table food.  Last night I fed him for an hour before he was full.  I think he's going through a growth spurt.  
  • Increasingly observant.  He loves watching Kate and Alli and he always seems to be studying what they're doing.  
  • Still a little inconsistent with sleep.  Some nights are terrific and then we hit a spell where he doesn't sleep as well (ex: last night).  Any advice from moms on improving sleep consistency?
Little man, I can't believe you'll soon be a year old. Wow. I am head-over-heels for you.  I'm expectant, but reluctant about watching you celebrate your first birthday.  My baby is growing up! 

In other news, I'm heading next week to a MomBloggers conference, Blissdom, in Nashville.  I'm doing some research on MomBloggers with a colleague at work.  I'll be talking to some of the more well-known MomBloggers and I wonder if any of you have questions you'd like me to ask them.  Let me know in the comments section.  Thanks!
