The Destructor is at it again.


I can't possibly keep up. He is moving fast and into everything. Nothing is safe anymore! I do have to admit, I am having so much fun watching him explore and learn so many new things. He is so curious and will never waste a second of the day. He has to be exploring or destroying something every waking moment. (The destruction part isn't so fun.)

His favorite thing lately is to wash his hands. His hands are usually such a mess after he eats that I take him in the bathroom and let him rest on my knee and the counter of the sink while he turns on the water and grabs the soap. He mostly loves to splash but he giggles when I rub the soap on his hands. Anything where messes or splashing is involved, Teagan will have a GREAT time. He is so fun. I will have to get a picture of that sometime.

I guess reaching the door handle WAY too early is what I get for having a tall kid. He is still in the 97th percentile for height. He is taller than some of the babies in our ward that are several months older. It's crazy. I am thinking he will probably level out pretty soon and other kids will catch up. I hear babies growth slows down a little after they turn 1. I hope that's the case. The kid is already in size 5 diapers! He isn't even 11 months old yet!
I absolutely love watching him learn and grow. He is so happy and loves to play. He likes it when you chase him. Especially when he escapes right after you take his diaper off and haven't gotten a new one on yet. He is so fast he sneaks away giggling like crazy. He certainly keeps me busy. I love my little guy.

It just blows my mind how fast he is growing. It's fun to see a baby that is physically progressing at such a fast rate - definitely a change from what I'm used to.

Lol, Our door knobs are high, but Glade stacks books up to reach them. I can't believe she is a little taller than him but he is still so big! And just wait... the destruction gets worse and worse...
We wash Glade's hands too, but she prefers the dog dish to soap and water...

haha! That is just so cute! Owen is nowhere near reaching the door handles!! Yikes! But, unfortunately, he is the DESTROYER of all too! Our babies need to play soon, so lets seriously get together
