(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!

Firsts...
10 months!
Noah had a great first halloween dressed as a dalmation. he went to visit his cousin Emma, who was tigger. They had a great time playing together. and that was when Noah started to crawl! I guess watching emma go go go really encouraged him to get moving. Or he learned to move to defend himself, she really pounces on him!! They have so much fun together! She was playing with a toy fire engine and noah really wanted it. They were both in their pj's and he just started to crawl after it.
His first haircut went well. He looks like such a little boy now, so cute! He frowned a little bit, but really did quite well.

new meals and new schedule
(9m 3d)
Noah's 9 month check up went great! The day before his 9th month bday, I saw a little white dot poking through on the bottom left tooth in his mouth! We also stopped nursing the day he turned 9 months, I am so proud that I was able to nurse him until he was 9 months!
Noah started 3 meals a day yesterday and it went well! I have also been introducing new textures and tastes. So far he has had cottage cheese and apple sauce mixed together, little pastinas with a little bit of sauce, yogurt mixed with applesauce and bannana chunks and of course cheerios. He seems to be doing very well and got the pediatricians approval to begin.
We are trying him on a consistant schedule. He has 4 bottles (8, 12, 4, 8), 3 meals (9a, 1p, 5p), and 2 naps, (10 and 2pm). so far it is going well. I know things happen such as gymboree and play dates that will disrupt it. The days that I work the night before are a little hard as he is up at 530am to go to nana's, so that throws off his schedule a bit. But he is so easy going and flexible, it seems to be ok with him.
I called to schedule his first haircut for 10/11. His bangs are long and he has hair growing over his ears. Joe will be getting a haircut, too, so hopefully noah will see daddy and be ok with getting one himself!

almost off the boob...
(8m 25d)
I can't believe noah is almost 9 months old! He says mamma, dadda and baba (bottle).
Noah is just about weaned from the breast, sadly to say. He'll probably nurse one more week and will be done. 9 months has been wonderful and I am delighted that I have been able to give him breast milk. It has been such a special time and I will greatly miss it. But, he is so active and always wants to get down and play.. there are times he actually shakes his head no at me when I go to nurse him! What a kid!
He still has no teeth.. I guess Joe was a late teether, too, according to his mom.
Noah can get up on all 4's and rock back and forth, but no crawling has happened yet. He can pull himself up on his boucer to get the buckle and on the outside of his exersaucer, two unsafe things!
He loves the dogs, and laughs so hard when they bark and play!
We started giving Noah different food textures, like small chuncks of banana, cottage cheese and coarsely ground steamed broccoli. We see the pedi on monday, and will ask if he can have cheerios and the like, since he has no teeth.

3rd cold
(8m 15d)
Today Noah went from a sitting up position down to the floor, onto his belly. This is a big step for him and he did it perposefully, not falling down. And also today, he attempted to feed himself with a spoon! He actually did very well. He has great aim and coordination! It was all an accident, I gave him a baby spoon to play with while I was feeding him breakfast, because he kept trying to grab his spoon. He just started sticking the play spoon into his mouth! So I would dip it into his food and he'd feed himself! He was a huge mess, but who cares? He was having fun!
He has his 3rd cold sadly...He got it from the nursery at church. What can you do? At least he is in play groups and interacting with other children, and unfortunately, those are the consequences!

great grandma
(8m 6d)
I can't believe how fast he is growing! His great grandmother is up from Florida and he has been seeing her a lot. She loves him, and says, "Give me my pumpkin!" every time she sees him.
Noah is saying "Dadda" now, started about 2 weeks ago.
He might be teething now finally. He is waking up at night and not taking much of a bottle during the day. He only nurses well in the morning.
We offered him a sippy cup on his 8 month bday. He mostly just plays with it, banging it around.
We are sad to be closing the pool already, especially since noah loved it so much. maybe I'll take him to the ymca this winter to swim.
No real signs of crawling yet. He'll lay on his belly and put his butt up in the air or get on his knees for a few seconds.
He had his consultation today at the pediatric urologists for his circ. It will be done later this year.
