11 Months (give or take)

We didn't manage to take Kevin's 11 month photos until he was 11 and a half, but at least we got it done. Most of them were blurry because he wanted to bounce, crawl, climb, and wiggle.

Kevin can climb the stairs now all the way to the top. We're going to get another baby gate to put at the bottom. He fell off the second step the other day and scared all of us, so that's a priority. He seems to be trying to say some new words like "up, down, that, car" and he can make new animal sounds. He used to just make a horse neighing sound. Now he can bark and pant like a dog when he sees one.

He sleeps from 7pm to 5:30 am most night, sometimes a little longer. He still takes a morning and afternoon nap, although they are usually less than an hour. We're thinking of going to one nap. He can move through the living room, walking and holding onto one object and then switch to another.

Mostly he's just a handful, demanding his own way, leaning his head on the floor and wailing if we say, "No no." The cute part is when we're holding him and he'll lean around to stick his face in ours until he gets our attention so that he can tell us something in baby talk. He talks constantly. He's definitely not a quiet boy.
