Oh my goodness. I just get chills now thinking of my little noah. I am really having a difficult time dropping him at Mrs. Susan's right now, cause she is getting to have all the fun with him. He is so cool right now. I could watch him for a solid hour playing and seeing how his little mind is working. He is quite the explorer and is full of curiosity. His little mind is always working and he often seems to be plotting!! We are so excited about all of our family who is coming for his first birthday party. You will not believe how he has grown in only a month.
So what major milestones happened this week at 11 1/2 months???? Well, little noah is just too chicken to walk all alone. He walks with just mine or Chad's pinky finger and appears to have good balance. He is also squatting up and down without holding on. So Tuesday night (4/24/), Chad and I were playing hard with him in the floor with his Diego ball that his Magga gave him. Master Noah finally decided to take three steps trying to reach for that darn ball his daddy was holding just out of his reach. Chad and I held our breath and then shared a big cheer. However, we have had difficulty reproducing this action. Stay tuned....I am sure he will be running soon.
Also, I had Noah up at my school last week and was talking with the speech pathologist about that crazy 'groooo' sound Noah makes. She said, "Stop worrying!! It feels good to him and he is just having fun." I also mentioned to her that 'dada' is his favorite word and I cannot get the M sound out of him. She picked him up and held him close to her mouth and made the m sound repeatedly. Then she grabbed his lips and held them together while she made the m sound and at the end she let his lips go. This is hard to explain, but it basically forced him to form the m with his lips. The very next day when I picked him up and was getting him snug in his seat, he said, "mamamama". I was so proud and told Ms. Teresa she was a genius. He has been 'mamamama' ever since.
It is supposed to be a beautiful weekend. I am looking foward to hanging out with my two favorite men!! Hope everyone reading is doing well!!
