holiday firsts
Noah walked today, new years eve!!!! it was with his home depot big truck that you sit on, but the back rest you can use to push it. so, today, he decided he wanted to walk for the first time! albeit, not alone, but still very exciting!!!! Learned to crawl on Halloween, 1st tooth on Christmas and first steps on New Years Eve!

getting ready to turn ONE!
(11m 28d)
Noah got his first tooth on Christmas day. He woke up in the morning, not with the top tooth that we thought, but the bottom left!! A few months ago we thought it was the bottom right coming in... well, we were wrong! All I wanted for Christmas for Noah was a tooth. sounds like a cliche, but it is true! I wished for him to have a tooth by his first birthday, and it has happened.
Today we celebrated Christmas with my side of the family. So it was Noah's 2nd christmas this year and he got his second tooth... on his 2nd christmas!
He had a great time on both days with the family. Tomorrow we are having New years Eve dinner with Joe's family. Noah and Emma have so much fun playing together. We are also having Noah's 1st year pictures taken, along with our family portrait. I hope he is feeling ok, he has another cold.
We have taken the pacifier away from him. He was only using one for sleep, and he has done well with a few nights and naps without it. we'll see how he does with this cold though.
We started him on some whole milk, too. He is doing well, having it combined with the formula. Pretty soon will be straight milk. Can't believe we will be done with the costly formula! Although I can't complain, we have only used it for a few months, since I stopped nursing him at 9 months. He is doing pretty well with finger foods, too. He has great dexterity and can pick up small pieces using the pincer grasp; he mastered that pretty early actually.
His new car seat is installed, waiting for him to try it out. No more baby carseat, and carrying him around in that infant carrier. I will miss it, even though he was heavy in it. He still weighs 21 pounds! I looked back at his weights and at 9 months he was 20 pounds. He must be keeping the weight off by crawling so much and all of the cruising he does and now walking in the walker.
I can't believe he will already be 1 in a few days. Just seems like yesterday that my water was breaking on New Years day morning....

New words
(11m 9d)
Noah is finally getting a tooth. his upper gum on the right is swollen and you can see white underneath. He is super cranky at night time for bed, past three nights have been really difficult getting him to sleep.
He has been saying new words! "Jack" and pets jack the dog. His new words are also Dog, cat, and kiss. He still says mama and dada. It is so fun watching him learn new things and copy us. We are teaching him to pray before meals and to put his hands together. He caught on pretty quickly today. He also learned to clap today! We have been clapping forever with him and today out of no where he started clapping! He has randomly been waving bye with just his fingers but last night we were saying good bye and he started to wave a big good bye! He learns pretty quickly with some things and remembers well, too. There is one song I sing to him about sitting in a high chair and banging on my spoons (the song is about a baby waiting for his lunch and he bangs his spoons). When I sing this, I tap the high chair and Noah caught on so quickly. I just start to sing the first few words and he automatically bangs on the high chair every time!
He is all over the place! He cruises between the coffee table and uses his ball/slide toy to hold onto to get over to the couch or chair. or he uses his exersaucer to do the same thing. He will let go of the table for a few seconds to step towards you, but he has such trepidation! He'll get there soon enough!

first christmas tree
(11m 4d)
Can't believe my baby will be a year in less than a month! He is cruising the couch and coffee table now and even walking in between them. He is a crawling maniac! He is so fast and gets into every thing!
We put up the tree and Noah helped. He has a few decorations of his own already that he helped put up. The tree is in the dinning room, so he does not have access to it readily. If in the living room, he'd pull it down!
Still no teeth, oh well. Joe was late, too, according to his mom. Noah is starting to do well with the sippy cup, can't believe he'll be drinking whole milk from it soon and no more formula!
