My gorgeous boy...
Oh what a month this has been. In what feel like eternity, we've jumped from 10 to 11 months old. We are officially on a quarantine (along with the rest of the WORLD) thanks to the Coronavirus. A pandemic taking over the world is currently happening... and you, my sweet boy, are completely unaware. It's so beautiful and so tragic because the world is currently at a stand still.
You are the most gorgeous little thing - chubby but slimming down a bit, thanks to CONSTANT MOVEMENT. You are always on the go - cruising along furniture, crawling everywhere, climbing all the stairs, into every drawer, opening every cabinet. The smoothest skin, with the prettiest hair that grows every day. You are chubby in all the right areas and I could kiss you forever.

You have many new tricks - SO BIG, clapping, this goofy fake laugh, waving (and saying) Bye Bye. You love to be surrounded by toys (especially those that make noise). You love to play with Howard, your favorite stuffed animal you sleep with. Your absolute favorite thing to do is right in the "Mini Cooper" that Grandma & Grandpa sent for your birthday. It's a little car that we push you in outside and you just giggle the whole time.
You like TV but it's not your favorite - right now, the shows you'll watch are Sesame Street, Peppa Pig & Little Einsteins. You love to see Elmo & Cookie!
Sleep is always up and down with you - you've been doing some random middle of the night wakings. Generally, you sleep 6:30 - 5:00 AM, come into my bed at that time to nurse, and sometimes fall back asleep. I'm trying to have you stay in your crib a little longer. You nap twice a day - sometimes great, sometimes not so long. If anything is bothering you (teeth, temperature, who knows what?), you wake up.
You suddenly developed a love of talking / repeating. Your first word is officially Bye Bye. You also will say Benny (over and over...), Mama, Dada, Dog and Cookie.
You eat anything and everything... baby led weaning has been awesome for you. I'm not quite sure actually gets in (most of it ends up on the floor / in London's mouth) but you will try all the foods. I think your favorites are puffs, raspberries, blueberries, pancakes, pasta & sauce.
We had so many grand plans coming up to celebrate your 1st birthday (including an indoor pool party and a trip to Sesame Place) but right now, everything is on hold. It makes me so sad but I know we'll celebrate together soon. Your whole family is missing you so so much.
We are still on a great nursing journey and because I'm now working, I don't think we'll stop anytime soon (especially because my trip to Hawaii is now rescheduled). Sometimes, in the early morning, you'll nurse from 5 - 7 AM (literally..2 hours) and although it's exhausting and sometimes a little painful, I love every moment with you. That's our time together. Just us.
We love you so much, Miles Samson. You are a joy, a dream, a mushy baby full of love and life. I can't believe you'll be ONE in a month. I'll always love you the most, my sweet baby boy.
Love you MyMy,
Mama
