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!
