Not Quite Wordless Wednesday

We have been spending a lot of time at the park over the past couple of weeks since it's been so nice outside. Noah loves the swings! I think he could stay in them all day if we let him.

We finally installed a gate at the bottom of the stairs since Noah has figured out how to climb the entire staircase!

Here are a few more pictures from this past weekend. Noah is such a happy baby and so much fun!

Noah has also learned to crawl under the chairs to the dining room table. He's usually chasing a cat under there.

Be very quiet...I'm hunting babies!

If he knew what that gate was for, he probably wouldn't be so happy. Ha!

Such a cutie! You can really see his bottom teeth in this picture.

Early Riser

Normally, Noah wakes up in the morning between 7:30am and 8:00am. However, for the past few days, he has decided to wake up at 6:45am and not go back to sleep. But, this morning, little guy was up bright-eyed at 6am! We let him play in his crib for about 20 minutes but he wanted out after that.

This is Noah by 8:15am after eating his breakfast.

I think it's going to be a long day! Ha!

9 Months

Noah, today you are nine months old! You amaze me every day. We love you so much! Here is what you are up to:

• You weigh 21 lbs 13 oz and are 29 inches long (both 75%). Big Boy! 
• You are now wearing all 9 month clothing but some of your pj's are 12 months.
• You are crawling EVERYWHERE (including the stairs!) and are also pulling up on EVERYTHING and cruising along the furniture!
• You are just starting to stand by yourself for a few seconds.
• You are eating like a champ. Your favorites are still sweet potatoes, apples and bananas but you are also staring to really enjoy squash and peas more. You say "mmmm" after each bite - so funny!
• You love Puffs! When we shake the bottle, you light up and get so excited. It's pretty cute!
• You are starting to sleep through the night more. You are still waking sometimes just once but we just change you and put you back to bed.
• You still have just your bottom two teeth, but I think one on top is just about to burst through.
• Now that you are crawling, you are really terrorizing the cats. When you see one laying on the floor, you scream and then take off after them. It has to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen!
• You love to go for rides in your wagon. We're so happy it's starting to warm up more so we can go out every day!
• You are also enjoying going for rides in the car now. It's fun to listen to you talk to yourself. You also enjoy riding in the shopping cart like a big boy! 
• You like to watch Daddy when he works in his shop. Maybe you'll be a little glassblower one day!
• You love the Elmo Slide! You smile so big when we play it for you!

I know I say this often, but I cannot believe you will be one year old in just a few months! Where has the time gone?!?

Didn't you know it's more fun to play IN the toy box?

Lets go for a ride in the wagon!

Watching the other kids at the park

Whoa! This is fun!

I love the swings!

Beep! Beep!

Love those big baby blues!

Puffs!

Noah's new favorite treat is Gerber's Puffs. He LOVES them. We give him a few after dinner each night. You can tell how excited he is!
