Linus turned 11 months old today! Maybe it was because he was too excited to be a big boy because Linus decided to wake up EXTRA EARLY today.

In the past month, Linus began looking more like a toddler and less like a baby. He also understands a lot of things like the things he likes to eat, the birds and planes in the sky, the ants and bugs crawling on the ground, and the big garbage trucks that come by every week.

Linus loves his bookshelf and books. His favorite game is pulling ALL the books out of the bookshelf and making a mess in the playroom for mommy or PoPo to clean up. Here’s the little bugger caught in the act.

My baby is 9 months old today. How the time flies!

Linus is 20lbs, loves his ride-on cars, yogurt smoothies, and giving wet, open-mouthed kisses. His little personality is starting to show through and it is adorable. He’s a happy, bubbly baby. When things excite him, he flaps his arms and squeals. He loves books and likes turning the page with mommy when we read bedtime stories. He’s pretty impatient, super active, and keeps mommy and PoPo on their toes all day long. A crawling machine, Linus has 2 settings – fast and bouncy or sleeping.

Today, we got Linus a little cheesecake. He was lucky enough to get a taste. Yummy!

Linus crawls SO fast now and stands up at every opportunity.  I can’t believe he’s already 8 months already!  Time’s just flying by.  He looks like such a big boy in these pictures.
