Noah: 9 Months

24 pounds, 9 ounces. 30 inches tall. He didn't cry a single whimper for his shot or any of the blood drawing for his hemoglobin and lead tests. What a brave, tough guy! (More)

Random Recent Things All In One Post

We went to Florida for vacation with the Daleys for one week and the Wightmans for another week. It was a great time. But this leaves me behind on posting, so here we go... (More)

8 Months, Peekaboo, Pulling Up

Today, Noah is 8 months old! Yesterday, he played peekaboo with me by pulling the fabric of the sling in front of his face. When I said, "Where's Noah?" he would pull it away with a big ol' grin and I would say "peekaboo!" (More)

7th Tooth Finally Makes It and Other Stories

Lower left. It's been bothering him for quite a while. Glad it's through and I hope the matching one comes quickly so we can have a rest for a while. (More)

Leaps and Bounds

So last week while I was busy preparing for Jon's 30th birthday party, Noah decided to do a lot of things, even though I didn't have time to blog about them! (More)

Noah's First Word!

I had been wondering for a few days if I was seeing correctly. But yesterday I knew for sure, and this morning only confirms it. Noah finishes what's on his tray and looks up at me expectantly. I ask, "more, please?" with signs (sometimes it's a full sentence like 'do you want more bread') and there it is! He brings his hand somewhere between his stomach and chest and rubs with his hand opening and closing (rather as if he's tickling himself.) So there you have it, folks - Noah's first word is the sign for please. (More)

Creeping Video and Other Pictures

Noah now prefers creeping on hands and knees - you can see a video on his pictures page. I also think he went from sitting to crawling once today, but I didn'tt actually see the process.

Other pictures are up, including a picture of Jonathan's maze he solved all by himself.

Helping, Singing, Teething, Reaching

One afternoon we were shredding carrots in the food processor for a salad. Noah was getting upset, so Jonathan said to me, "You go ahead and give Noah milk; I'll finish the carrots." (More)

Skiing

We finally went skiing for the first time this year and although it was pretty cold, we did have a lot of fun and stayed a lot longer than we did last year. (More)

The Joy of Watching Them Learn

I've been especially enjoying my boys the last week or so, having fun watching them learn so fast. Specifically, Noah's crawling and Jonathan's recognition of numerals and letters. (More)

Lost Planner, Boys' Events

I lost my planner just before Christmas (as far as I can deduce, in a shopping cart in the parking lot of Jo-Ann's on McKnight Rd - anybody seen it? Please return it, you can keep the gift cards, I just want the information!) It had several notes in it about cute things the boys did or said, and I'm sure many are lost, but I do remember a few. Plus I did write down other things that have happened since. (More)

Food, Babbling, Moving, Looking

Noah, as mentioned in Jon's saturday post, has been grabbing for my food, and I have started giving him tiny squashed samples. This is one of the great differences between him and his big brother, who did not care very much for solid food until at least a year. Yet it's not like this big boy is lacking any nutrition! (More)

Saturday Adventure

It has been a long time since the last time Jonathan and I went out on a trip together, and Heather suggested that I take the kids to give her some time to clean and other things by herself.

First, we glued all of the dining room chairs, since they have been falling apart more than usual lately. Then, Jonathan and I changed the oil in the car and topped off the various fluids.

4th Tooth, 2nd Shot

Top right poked through yesterday after a biting-the-counter stint. Got his second shot and barely cried. Didn't even need to nurse. What a tough kid!
