It's 10:30 Friday night and I just got home from work. Noah was running a fever today so I went and picked him up at 2 or so. Then we went grocery shopping and came home to rest. When Jenna got home she took over for Noah and I let the dogs in. It was quite the chore since we've had rain all day long. Anyways, after dinner I went to the office to do my billing and wrap up 1st quarter stuff.

I think Noah's fine. He's woken up a lot the past 2 nights and is extra slobbery so its probably a tooth. It's about time since he still only has the 2 bottom chompers he got at Christmas.

He's just about to walk. He will stand for several seconds, he'll push his little cart all over the place and he'll walk with you just holding one hand. He just won't take that step. He actually took 1 step about 2 weeks ago but the way he had his momentum go directly into a crawl it just seemed more like a prolonged squat.

It's also official that his first word is "DaDa." Jenna and I have noticed that he really says it to me and not just saying it. She said the clincher was the other day in her office when she had Noah up there and he saw a picture of me and squealed and went "DaDa." She said there was no doubt he was telling her that "DaDa" was in that picture. I'll have to say he is more of a Momma's boy than a Daddy's boy but I feel like Jerry Seinfeld with him. Nothing can make him laugh like his "DaDa." We've really had a good week the two of us. Jenna had parent/teacher conferences this week (I know its crazy loco that she has to stay at work for those since she's not a teacher. Take it up with administration.) so I picked him up from the sitter 4 days this week. We go to the library, Wal-Mart, and his favorite-Barnes-N-Noble. He loves the bookstore because I'll put him on the floor and give him a magazine subscription card. That will entertain him for about 20 minutes right there. The rest of the time he just likes to watch the kids in the children's book section.

Anyways the Yankees are on the West Coast tonight and are in the 5th inning so I'm gonna kick back a few cold ones and watch the game.
