Madelyn: 11 Months

2.20.2012

11 months!  Holy cow, you're getting so big!

-We're guessing you weigh about 19.5 lbs and are getting longer and longer everyday.  Your belly is getting much smaller.

-You are in size 3 diapers and 9-12 and 12 month clothes.

-You LOVE to stand up.  We walk around with you and you're so proud of yourself. 

-You're eating everything we feed you.  Eating and nap time are your favorite times of the day.

-You are still eating 4 oz. four times a day.  We'll try switching your formula to a sippy cup soon and eventually adding whole milk.

-You've continue sleeping about 12-13 hours with 2 naps (morning and evening).  Going to bed at about 7pm and waking up at about 8am.

-You helped daddy celebrate his birthday and also celebrated your first Valentine's Day.

-Only 2 bottom teeth still.  But drooling like crazy, so I'm sure there are more on the way.

-You found out your brother's name will be Theo!

Theodore Joseph

2.19.2012

We have finally decided on a name for baby boy:

Theodore Joseph McCarty 

We'll call him Theo.

Theodore was not originally on our baby name list, but it was suggested from a close friend.  After we found out we were having a boy, we looked up the meaning of the name Theodore.  We found that Theodore means "Gift from God."  The more we thought about that name, the more we thought it would be perfect for our new baby boy.  We know he will be a precious gift from God and we can't wait to meet him.  Joseph is after Tim's Dad and we wanted that name to show Theo that his family, near and far, will always be an important part of his life.  We also love how Joseph is a strong name to partner with Theodore.

So there you have it.  Now time to decorate his room.  3 more months! Yea!
