Dannette Gora Rigby is becoming quite a little man. Last night he actually reached up and opened his own bedroom door…which he thought was hilarious. He is a whopping 30lbs at 11 months…he’s actually been this weight for about 2 months now. Thankfully his weight gain has slowed down a little. This kid LOVES to eat. We usually just stop feeding him at dinner time because he won’t stop when he’s full. He’ll just eat until he barfs…so gross. No joke.
Rig’s been crawling since he was 5 months old…that’s 6 whole months now and the little guy still isn’t too interested in walking 🙂 He walks around furniture and stands up and has taken a step or two. But he always reaches for the floor after a moment or two and takes off crawling again. We don’t mind though! He’s already into everything so I can’t imagine how I’ll keep up once he’s actually on his feet.
He’s constantly getting into stuff. Here are some examples of his favorite activities:
…opening the pantry door and pulling cans of food off the shelf or opening the bag of cat food for a snack
…opening the vanity drawers in the bathroom and dragging everything all over the place
…splashing around in the toilet (it’s a must to keep seats down and bathroom doors closed at our house!)
…chewing…chunks of wood & paint off his crib…mommy’s entertainment center…the stone hearth?
this is a strange one…chewing the foam door stops off of the cabinet doors (you know, those little pads that keep the door from slamming…we barely have any left around here)
…and of course, giggling…this little guy is super happy and laughs all the time
