Nearly 11 month update

Our little guy is almost a year old! He can now say Mama, Dada, No, Uh-oh, and Baby. He stands by himself for a few seconds at a time especially if he's busy paying attention to something else like a toy. Sometimes he dances without support & that usually makes him fall but is so cute. Just this weekend, he figured out how to use his walking toys. He'll push them all over the room and right into the dogs if they don't move! So far, he hasn't tried to take a step on his own even though we have of course tried to coax him to do so. Inevitably he drops to his knees or just lunges forward without moving his feet. Mealtimes are becoming more interesting as he prefers to feed himself finger foods. He does try to use a spoon but I only let him play at that after the meal is done or we end up with a giant mess. Birthday party invites will go out as soon as I figure out where we are having the party (I think my first choice is not going to work out).
