Look Who's Walking!

YES!!! Noah has started walking. He took his first steps over Memorial Day weekend and has been practicing since then. He's not walking 100% yet but he is taking those sweet baby steps! He always has such a big smile on his face when he starts to walk. I think he's very proud of himself and of course, we are very proud of him! He is growing up way too fast for me.

Here is a video I took of him today with my phone. I should let you know there is some crawling in the beginning before we get to the walking. And he's wearing his shark foam visor we bought at Target the other day (just in case you're wondering what the heck he has on his head! Ha!). He loves to wear it!

Pool Time!

We took Noah to the local pool near our house. They have a "rainforest" area with a zero-depth entry pool for the little kids and Noah LOVES it! He kept trying to crawl into the "deep end". He also really enjoyed being in the big kid pool with Mommy and Daddy.  I think we have a water baby on our hands!

I'm ready to go, Mom!

11 Months

Noah, you are 11 months old today! Just one more month until your big birthday! We're so excited! Mommy has already started party planning and we're looking forward to your big day. Here's what you've been up to this past month:

• You weigh just over 23 lbs
• You now have 4 teeth
• You are wearing mostly 12 month clothing.
• You are sleeping 10-12 hours a night, with 2 naps each day.
• You are crawling, very fast, all over the place. You are also cruising very well along all of the furniture and anything else you can pull yourself up onto.
• You can say ma-ma. da-da, and ba-ba, along with all of the other babbling you do. You've been saying "cah" lately whenever you see one of the cats.
• You love to clap your hands and grab other people's hands and clap for them. It's so cute!
• You are waving hello and good-bye and wave to yourself when you look in the mirror.
• You can give hugs (sometimes) on command. It melts my heart when you give me hugs!
• You are eating more table foods. You've had pancakes, strawberries, bananas, cereal bars (which you LOVE), chicken, and even some cupcake!
• You are learning to use your sippy cup.
• You love to be outside and enjoy rides in your wagon.
• Your favorite toys right now are your mega-blocks legos and your cars/trucks. You've learned to push the around the living room.
• You also like to play with Lola's toys and play tug-o-war with her sometimes. Ha!
• You also enjoy reading books. You have started to turn pages all by yourself!
• You still love bath time and we cannot keep you still in the tub! You also enjoy brushing your teeth!
• Lately, you've been sticking out your tongue and making funny noises. It's so fun to see and makes me laugh every time.
• You can also click your tongue and sometimes roll it!
• You love to be around other kids and babies. You are so intrigued by them!

So serious.

"I love cereal bars!"

So good!

Stuffing your face!
