Video: Our Little Drummer Boy

We have a video of Noah playing the Rock Band drums. Perhaps the drumline is in his future?? Enjoy.

Playing is Hard Work, Mom

Late this afternoon, Noah was acting a little whiny in his exersaucer while I was working in the kitchen. The next thing I know, he's being quiet (always a bad sign, as every mother knows). I turn to check on him, and this is what I see:


It was too adorable! Playing must be harder work than I realized!

Falling asleep in random places is hard to do. Do I sense an uncanny resemblance to Uncle James?

Can he really be 9 months?

Noah is turning 9 months this week. While each month brings new milestones and new changes, I think 9 months is significant. He has finally be "out" as long as he was "in".

Noah has lately been "talking" a lot more lately. His babbles sound more like words (a-ga-da-o) instead of just syllable repetition (ba-ba-ba). Apparently while cousin Benjamin (13 months) is the walker, Noah is the talker.

Noah loves pushing around a little toy walker that a friend is lending us. He walks all over the house pushing that little toy. It is so cute! He is not walking on his own yet, but he is standing alone and cruising along furniture.

VIDEO: Here is a video of Noah pushing the little walker:

Noah is into everything. He is generally fascinated by odd little objects and the noises they make. Crunchy paper. Hangers. Door stoppers. He loves drawstrings on jackets, zipper pulls, and buttons on shirts.

Into the Halloween candy a few weeks ago:

Noah loves to eat. It is impossible to eat in front of him without him whining for you to share! He now eats a lot of table food. Though he still has no teeth, he eats a lot of food that requires chewing/mashing. Noah's favorite snack is Cheerios. His favorite foods are meats (chicken, turkey, roast beef) and fruits (bananas, peaches, and apple blueberry). He dislikes some of his veggies.

Hopefully this week we will take him to get 9-month pictures done!

Guys and a Game

This was too cute.   I saw them together and had to snap a couple of photos.  Apparently Jason and Noah both enjoy snacking while watching the Colts play.  :)
