The Gilliam family is surviving one of the coldest and very snowy winters! The good thing is I had a few extra days to be at home with Zander. It can be a challenge to chase him around all day, but it is also fun to watch him do new things every day. He is a very busy boy and continues to explore his mischievous side.....he is frequently getting my attention as he is about to do something naughty and when I catch him he will give me a big smile and sprint (belly crawl like a mad man) towards whatever it is he is not supposed to have. He is also now pulling himself to stand and cruising around furniture, but still needs help sometimes when he can't get a good grip. He is also taking some steps with his play walker and holding onto our hands. One of his other favorite new skills is throwing and a light up and a bouncy ball are some of his favorite toys. He also loves to throw food to Parker, so they are becoming better friends especially now that Zander is eating a lot more "people food." Another fun activity Zander has been enjoying over the last month are our trips to the pool. Zander likes to splash in the water and play with the water toys. We are now starting to get ready for his first birthday! it's hard to believe it is just a few weeks away!
11 Month Photo Shoot
OK, so I did get a couple of good pictures of our little angel........but this is the way the rest of the photo shoot went. Zander really wanted to see (eat) the cool sticker on his shirt and got really mad at his mean mommy who was trying to distract him from pulling it off and kept trying to put it back on his shirt. Needless to say, it ended a little early
