As promised, a video! (Not the best quality)

He's WALKING!!!!!!!!!

Noah is walking! Last night he took about 6-7 steps before he lost his balance! Saturday he took about 3 steps before losing his balance. I can't imagine how much he'll be walking by the end of the week. I'll try to get some video tonight. (He doesn't like to perform for the camera, so I have to be sneaky about it).

BRRR... It's been cold outside

For the readers that don't live here, it snowed for about 6 hours on Wednesday. It didn't stick but just a little bit and melted off, but it was COLD. We got home from work and our house was really chilly... we haven't hooked the heater back up to come on at a low temp yet, and the fire had burned out. Good thing we had Noah all bundled up.

Halloween and our rainy weekend

We weren't able to get too many pictures of Noah in his costume because we had a tired little "monkey" and he just wasn't too into it, but you still get the idea.



It was a rainy weekend in, so Noah spent most of the weekend just being himself... hanging out at home with all of his toys. He LOVES this police car... he loves to be pushed in it, he loves to just sit in it, and he loves to push it around himself.
Notice how serious his face is... and he's not upset, he's talking. (see his foot up on the dash??)




We've also realized in the past few weeks that Noah pretty much thinks any time you dance around and look stupid that it's really funny. So, while he was eating yesterday I was spinning around and pointing at him, he got a kick out of it. Dad thought it was picture worthy.





And here he is modeling a little hat that I threw together as an experiment... looks like a poor little boy, huh??


And.... last but not least... Noah's newest accomplishment!!! He can stand for quite a few seconds on his own. He doesn't quite know what to do once he's up and standing there, but he is doing GREAT! He did take one step towards me yesterday... it won't be long and he'll be off and running!

Little Hat

I saw a post online about how easy it is to whip up a hat for a little one... out of pretty much whatever you have available to you. So, I took some old sleepers sacks that Noah never wore and cut.... this is what I came up with. It's really unfortunate that it's too little for Noah's head. :( But, I do have a few friends having some baby boys, and this will be perfect to put with one of thier gifts.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

The costume pictures will have to wait until Monday... but we did put a Halloween shirt on Noah this morning so he would feel "in the spirit" of the holiday. He was not in the mood to cooperate this morning... in our rush of the morning. I had to load up the cupcakes I made for the Harvest festival at the church, then of course the "Extra" cupcakes for all of our friends and family, and then pack up the diaper bag, Noah's lunch, etc. And, Noah likes to just hang out in the morning, so these are the best pictures we could get. (you can see I had to call in the big guns, a.k.a. DAD to help me out.

Bath time fun....

Jesse usually gives Noah a bath while I do some quick chores or get Noah's stuff ready for when he gets out of the bath... and every once in a while I'll hear "Ter, get the camera, QUICK". And this is what I see.
