Noah's First Thanksgiving!

Today was Noah's very first Thanksgiving! He isn't feeling well, so most of the morning when Mom and I were kinda trying to get stuff ready he was crabby. But then he took a good nap and was in a better mood for a while! I ground up some of the turkey in the food processor, a piece of candied sweet potatoe, and he had some mashed taters and a few green beans! He LOVED it all! The real turkey is a little more gritty then the baby food turkey so I was worried but he loved it! I put it on his plate, and gave him a spoon. The spoon was more for me because I was going to feed him while I was eating and instead he picked up the darn spoon and put it in his mouth!! I NEVER expected that, but like my Dad said he seen me do it a million times so he knew what to do with it! He needed a little help with getting the food on it but after that he had it under control! I forgot to take the "after" picture but he had turkey and taters ALL over his face, hair ears you name it! So needless to say we went straight to the tub! It was just easier then trying to wipe him off and still finding turkey 3 hours later, you you catch my drift! He had NO problem with getting a mid day bath since he absolutely LOVES his baths! All in all it was a GREAT day! Dinner was wonderful as usual, my sister made Pumpkin and Pecan pie which were awesome as well! It was a great day with my wonderful family and my growing up too fast son! I believe Noah had a wonderful First Thanksgiving!

9 months old!

Today is Noah's 9 month birthday! I cannot believe it's been 9 months already!! I know I say that all the time, but it's the truth! He's growing beautifully, and developing at a great rate!

He's been crawling since the end of September, at the same time started to pull himself up! Now he can walk across the living room with his walking toy, climb on the surround sound speakers, and take a couple steps all alone! The most steps he took alone was 4, but hey you gotta start some where! He has been saying Mama for a little over a month now! Sometimes that's all he says! Started to wave bye bye although it depends on his mood I guess if he does it or not! He has 8 teeth, 4 on top and 4 on the bottom and I'm pretty sure another one on the bottom is coming in soon! He wouldn't chew on the one side tonight. He loves to play with the music toy and the house that his Cousin Emily gave him since she is a big 4 year old now! He loves loves loves to eat! When it's breakfast lunch or dinner time....don't screw around! He is still only eating 2 tbsp of cereal and 1/2 jar of fruit for breakfast, jar of veggies for lunch and then 1/2 jars of a meat and veggies for supper! He's doing great! He also loves the puff snacks and the Veggie Dip snacks to! I'm sure he'd rather be home with his Mama but he loves Daycare! He always smiles at the teachers which makes me feel good about leaving him there!


This is the only 9 month picture we got! He decided to rip the sign right in half while I was changing the batteries in my camera! God love him!

Updates for Noah!

Well my sister and Danielle got Noah a lion walk/ride toy for Halloween. At first he could only take a few steps at a time. For the last week, he has been walking from one side of the living room to the other and back! He's doing really good with it! I know it will be a while until he starts walking alone but he's really moving along! He's just awesome :) He says Mama ALL the time!! I love it! He started smacking his lips yesterday (11/10) it's so cute! He has 8 teeth and I think another one is coming in because he's chewing and drooling which is the usual thing for him to do before one makes a appearance! He's just so amazing! I never thought in a million years that being a Mommy would be so fun and rewarding! Don't get me wrong, it's hard work, expensive, and exhausting to but it's all worth it when you get just one big smile and giggle! :)
