ELEVEN MONTHS OLD!!

I can't believe this is the last monthly post before Noah turns one.... but don't worry, I'm saving all the sappy stuff for the One year old post.

This has definitely been the most energetic month of his existence. He is constantly going, going, going. "Busy, Busy!" as we like to say.

He loves to sneak away from you

We don't like these chips very much, but he sure does look good in pink

He has a new found love for the grass 

He has found his hair and constantly touches it

He got a stylish new backpack for school

But he didn't like wearing it that much because it made crawling difficult

He might be angry with us later for this... but he stayed perfectly still when we painted his toenails...

So pretty, right? We left it on until his teacher noticed.... Sorry, Noah! 

He still enjoys long baths

He enjoys pushing his classmates around in the wagon 

Still obsessed with the crinkly paper at the doctors offices

Poor babe had his first real sickness this month. 

We participate on Go Gold Fridays

And we dress up for game days

We learned how to clap our hands

He's not walking yet, but it is coming any day now.

He can stand alone for about 20 seconds at the longest. 

He gives himself a pep talk and builds up courage...

Then he moves his top half forward...

And dives straight into you

I've only seen him take one step alone, but he will get there eventually. 

He is all about some shugas. 

He loves to snuggle with Elmo, and by snuggle I mean lay on top of. 

We like to match sometimes

He has a new found love for pillows 

And now I know why they call them "ankle biters." 

I'm not sure where he got this from, but any time your ankle or foot is exposed and looks available, there is no doubt that he will come and bite it.

Happy Eleven Months, baby boy!!! 

Can't you tell how difficult this picture is to take?

Love always, 

Lauren and Noah

Happy Ten Months, Noah!

This month Noah went to his very first birthday party! Jack's birthday party was superhero themed and he went as a ninja turtle!

Noah waiting on some cake

He is starting to eat some solid foods now. He's happy when there's food and sad when it's gone.

Noah finally went on his first beach vacation!

Playing in the fountains at the Commons

Slobbery kisses

He just got a new tricycle and loves to take it around the neighborhood

& he loves to stop at the playground for a swing 

Today he started daycare for the first time and he was extremely happy to be there.

One of Noah's first teachers, Mrs. Mel!

Noah's cubby

He also enjoys peek a boo a lot now and tilts his head like this when you say "Whereeess Noah?"

Noah has three teeth and three more are almost out! 

It won't be like this for long
One day soon we'll drop him off
And he won't even know you're gone
This phase is gonna fly by
If you can just hold on
It won't be like this for long

Happy 10 months, Noah! 

Love always, 

Lauren & Noah
