D's 11 month was mostly spent on vacation in Sonora, Mineral King and Los Angeles. Lucky guy. Although he's now old enough to really like his routine back home and to have trouble sleeping while on the road (unless he has his own room!). D's biggest milestone this month was becoming mobile. The day before we left for vacation, Damien learned to scoot crawl - he won't just sit on a blanket or the floor anymore! He gets up on all fours and looks like he will crawl normally, and does so with one leg, but then thrusts the other leg forward in a straight legged position. Damien also learned to give you a high 5 (thank you Gabrielle Clarke). He says ball pretty consistently, since he loves to play ball. He also discovered the joys of rocks and dirt in Mineral King. D also tried a lot of new foods including Mexican (which he loved), tuna casserole (in tribute to late Great Grandma Nelda), grapes, cucumber, biscuits (which he loved), rice, tofu, and cottage cheese. He also started to become a sometime fussy eater, sometimes he would eat his usual favorites (hummus, mac n' cheese, turkey, avocado, strawberries, and yogurt) and sometimes he would reject all of that (with gusto, i.e throwing) in favor of jarred baby food. You never know. He loves to walk (assisted) and loves water.
Damien tried to attend Papa's trivia night fundraiser at a bar in the city, but he was kicked out - no one under 21 means no babies either!
