15m 3w)
Noah has taken a few steps! He took a few for us the night before and yesterday afternoon and then a few for nana! Birth to three is scheduled to come out on Friday, so we will see if he will be walking on his own soon, like dr Lamoureux predicted. He said at his 15 month appt that in 3 weeks he would be walking on his own.
Noah had a major melt down yesterday. He, after have 3 prior hair cuts, has now decided he HATES getting his hair cut. he screamed, SCREAMED, and cried during it! huge tears and all. It is so funny from him to go from such a laid back, happy-go-lucky kid, to everything bothering him! and yesterday he got so mad at the dr for touching me at my drs appt. and when the tech did my bp and pulse, he all out lost it! clenched fists, kicking and screaming, face all crunched up! don't touch my mommy!!!!! I thought we were past that stage and I was lucky he did not get like that. he even cried when joe dropped him off at nana's this morning and was hanging on to him for dear life! and at the nursery, forget it! I wonder why now, he is getting like this. all kids are different I guess. He never had seperation anxiety before.
He is doing really well with only one bottle at night and to be honest, I am sure if I stopped giving it to him, he would be fine. I just love that time with him. He cuddles with me and I cherish it!
He loves his meals and has a great time eating. And he does very well drinking his water with a splash of added apple juice out of a big boy cup with a straw.
noah gave me the best hug yesterday morning! Usually he will wrap both arms around my shoulders and pat my arms but today he wrapped both arms around my neck and pulled me into him and hugged me! and stayed too! He is so sweet, I just love him so much!

15 months
Noah is going for his check up this week. Two new words he said today are "All Done" and "bye bye". He waves bye bye with his hand, by opening and closing it and says bye in the sweetest, softest voice. And with "all done" he has been saying that for a while, but we just figured out what he was saying. "AAA DAA". He repeats me all the time when I ask him if he is all done, (with snack, meals, playing with a toy and he hands it to me). Joe mentioned that I say that a lot to him, so it makes sense he is repeating me. He says it all day long, repeating me, AAA DAA, it sounds like all done, and it is very cute!
He is walking with his push toys, and with our assistance, and cruising furniture, but not walking on his own yet. He got a new pair of stride rite's yesterday, so hopefully that will help him along.
He is down to only one bottle a day now, at night before bed. Today we changed the morning bottle of milk to a cup of cold milk with breakfast. He seemed to be fine with it. He is eating all table foods now with an occasional jar of veggies, if he is not getting enough vegetables in. He loves to eat and enjoys meal time. I turn the radio on and he nods his head along and moves back and forth to the music! He also does this in the car, it cracks us up!
He loves playing with Jack (jacks) and paris (sis). He also loves going for walks with them. I attach the dogs leashes to the stroller and they walk along with us.
Noah goes to a play group once a week, and has fun with the other kids, and the moms enjoy visiting, too.
Noah loves "talking" on the play phone. He will pretend anything is a phone now, and hold it up to his ear and then to ours.
He has 4 teeth still, but finally #5 and 6 are coming in, and having broken skin! The other 2 looked like they were coming down, but have stopped.
We are looking forward to Easter dinner with the family and play time with Emma.

a love of music
(14m 13d)
Noah cracks me up! He loves to dance to music! any kind of music, we will be driving in the car and I will have the radio on and look in the mirror and see noah head-bobbing! He has such good rythym, too! and some songs he will put his arms up in the air and head bob!
He still in not walking and showing no interest. He walks well with his push toys and cruises very readily along the furniture but when we attempt to take his hand and encourage him to walk, he resists.
He loves to talk on the phone, or pretend anyway. He will use his toy phones and hold them on his shoulder and talk to dada! then give us the phone so we can talk, too. He will use anything to pretend, a stuffed toy, his cup, a tooth brush. He also loves to brush his hair. He will take his brush (and tooth brush) and brush his hair! He can point to his belly, eyes, nose, and head when asked and beep your nose, if you ask, too. He loves the dogs, especially Jack. He comes down in the morning asking for "Jacks and Sis". It is so cute! He hugs Jack as paris will not tolerate it. He also puts toys in his mouth and "shakes it up" as Svet does. He eats cheerios off of his tray like the dogs eat food out of their bowl. He is doing well with the sippy cup, and only drinks from the bottle for his milk. That is the next step, to elimiate those 3 bottles of warm milk. I love the cuddle time, so I am partly to blame. I am working on making the milk cold, we have to by our trip in May.
He is going to nana's house twice a week from 7am-130pm and doing very well. He loves his nana and grandpa!

Jacks and Sis
(14m 5d)
Noah healed pretty well from surgery, he is such a trooper!
He is walking with his push toys very well, and stands on his own momentarily, but is not taking steps yet. He is drinking out of his sippy cup well but still loves his 3 bottles of warm milk each day, which I don't think I am ready to give up yet either. He loves that cuddle time, and so do I!
when noah gets up in the morning and comes downstairs, he askes for "Jacks and Sis".... He loves Jack and Paris! He plays on the floor with them and tries to kiss them! (Noah kisses by opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue).
He is eating well with the table foods now, and helping to feed himself with the spoon. He is growing up so fast!
I can't wait for spring to take him outside and go for walks. We have been going to MOPS and a play group once a week when I am not working, but we need to get out of the house more.
He loves playing with emma, and she loves to hug and kiss him! He is such a boy and totally blocks her. They do get along quite well.
He has 4 teeth now, two on top and two on the bottom. He currently has 4 more coming in,... one on either side of the present teeth. That explains his crankiness two weeks ago and inability to sleep. I wish I realized that earlier and gave him some tylenol, poor kid!
He is climbing on everything! He uses his home depot tractor to climb on the coffee table and couch! He uses his dora couch to climb onto the toy box and reach for pictures on the wall, and uses the music activity table to climb onto the rocking chair. He is so active! But I am glad he is healthy and normal, that is all I ask.

Surgery Day
(13m 4d)
Noah had his urology surgery today. They originally thought at birth that he had a hypospadius and a chordee so they did not circumsize him. They wanted to wait until he was over a year old to correct it. The surgery went very smoothly. He did not have a hypospadius but a torsion of the penis and chordee, which they repaired and did his circumcision as well. He had a cold the two weeks prior, so we were worried that they would not take him, but praise the Lord, his symptoms disappeard the morning of surgery! exaclty what I was praying for! (they did, however, return after surgery!) He did very well with not eating or drinking the morning of surgery. I felt so bad, we fed him so much the night before that ended up throwing up after having a coughing jag. He did very well in the morning, sleeping late as planned and leaving on time. Noah played and was in a pretty good mood in the preop area. They did not take him in until 11am, so that was a long morning with no breakfast or anything to drink. He did very well in surgery and it was quick and smooth. We got to see him at noon in pacu and he drank 14 oz over the next hour. The dr discharged him and we went home. He is in pretty good spirits! The night after surgery was a little tough to get him to go to sleep, but once he was sleeping, he was fine. I was very happy with how CCMC handled everything!

one year physical
(12m 5d)
Noah had his 12m appt today, 21.8 pounds, 29.5 inches. all is well! and 4 teeth! the top two came in these past few days! When he chews on my finger it feels like little kitten teeth! Sharp and Pointy!!!
He is so active, crawls right up the stairs with ease. He has been working on this for a while, taking his time and playing... but on his bday he crawled right up there like it was nothing! Now we have to work on coming down...
He loves to play peek a boo and clap. He loves making us laugh and loves being the center of attention.
The other day he climbed up on the big blue love seat and got back down with such ease, he is amazing! He is changing so much these past few weeks!
He gave up his pacifier without any issues, I am so proud of him. I am trying to get him to take the sippy cup more often, but he just plays with it and only takes a few sips. He loves his bottle!
His big 1st birthday party is this saturday, it should be lots of fun!
