Arjun’s 11 Month Update … A Month a Full of Bruises and Tumbles!

Wow! 11 months! How did that happen? 
I cannot believe that this time next month, Arjun will be a year. I’m really struggling to absorb that. My terrible memory means that everything just feels like a big fat blur! I have one month left till he’s a little toddler! 

We celebrated with a (or two to make an “11”) homemade cookie crumble “sundae” which I made using baby rusks, hipp chocolate mousse and Heinz baby custard. We helped Arjun eat it – It tasted yum!

   
             
A little update on Arjun’s month: 

• My little jet setter has had his third holiday – to the Maldives for my 30th birthday 

   
         

• He has thick curly locks which are so long now that I have to pin them back! 
• He’s obsessed with finding tissue/paper and eating it! 
• He has a new squinty smile where he scrunches his nose and he also has a new duck face that he does

  

• You can now give him a whole piece of food (e.g slice of toast) and he’ll break bits off to eat himself 
• His first time in the sea

  

• He’s had his 8th flight

   
   

• He climbed a full flight of stairs 
• He said mama (once!)

• He cries when he sees/hears a baby cry
• He’s very inquisitive 
• He stands up in bath with no hands 
• His favourite toys are his toy cars, trucks and tortoise 
• He now picks his own toys 

  

• He’s obsessed with the bathroom and if he ever goes missing that’s usually where you’ll find him!  

  

• He now hands you things (when he feels like it)
• He co-slept for 3 weeks out of the 4 in his 10th-11th month.
