11 months

Tomorrow Andrew will be 11 months old! His hair was getting long and scraggly in the back, so we gave him his first haircut. I've given him little trims, but this was the first time getting out the clippers and cutting it all. It made me a little sad to cut it so short, but it was hard enough to hold him still for clippers, cutting it even with scissors would have pretty much been impossible. He's walking pretty much full time now. He crawls only if the terrain is tricky, or if he's really in a hurry, like when he's trying to escape from mommy getting him dressed. He's quite a social boy. He loves to play mimic games with you or have a baby babble "conversation". He also quite a cuddle bug and holds his arms out to you when he wants to be picked up. Below is a short video of the kids playing with water balloons, and at the end Andrew claps and says "Yay!, which also seems to be his first word. He also says "Yay!" at the end of family prayers when the rest of us say "Amen". Besides walking he also likes to dance with Kara's singing hamster toy. I managed to catch a very little bit of his "hamster dance" on video.
