Noah had visitors today... Jenni and Mrs. Bivonna. Jenni took this awesome picture of Noah in the tub.

Wednesday October 27

Noah had stinky feet today! When I picked him up from school he was sleeping with his socks and shoes on, wrapped up in a blanket... the a/c isn't working properly, so it was about 78 degrees in there. When we got home, I took off his socks and shoes and phew!

Monday October 25

Noah had a great day with Nonna today... then he pooped all over the floor! My mom said he tried to take 2 steps today after he pulled himself up on the ottoman. :)

Sunday October 24

Noah is changing so quickly and doing so many new things every day. He is becoming more and more independent by the minute. He holds his own bottle (when he wants to)...he was drinking his bottle in the car today while I was driving home from Target and then at bedtime he took the bottle from me and fed it to himself. He's crawling all over the house following us wherever we go (or chasing one of the cats). We have a big pumpkin in the living room and Noah knocks it over and rolls it around... that thing is heavy! His two bottom teeth are getting taller and are more noticeable now. It's just so amazing how quickly everything is happening now!

Friday October 22

Noah spent the day with Nonna playing then we went to Teresa and Nick's to play. He tried to hang with the older boys (2-4 year olds), but they were busy with each other. He did get to see Anne Marie who is just a little older than him... I thought they would play well together, but Noah just kept trying to steal her water bottle. Of course I forgot my camera!

Thursday October 21

When I went to pick Noah up from school today he was sitting on the floor with a little girl. They both tried to pick up the same book... she was older and stronger, so she took it from him. He kept reaching for it and she started hitting him on the head with it... I was cracking up as I peeked in through the door.

Wednesday October 20

I had parent teacher conferences tonight, but Noah was a trooper and waited for me to come home and put him to sleep. :) Luckily he still had his grandparents visiting to keep him happy.

Tuesday October 19

Happy Birthday Cyrus!

Noah's Nanna and Pops came today to visit... he had such a great day! I'll post some pics soon.

Monday October 18

Boy was Noah tires today! He took a 30 minute nap around 5pm, woke up, ate, took a bath, and was ready to go back to bed... there was no playing in between like usual.

Sunday October 17

Who dat say ya gonna make me wear socks and shoes... who dat!

Saturday October 16

Noah went to visit his first pumpkin market. He was kind of hungry which made him fussy. I hope we can go back next weekend and he'll be in a better mood. He had a very long day with running errands, going to a birthday party, and visiting Aunt Jessica and Uncle Russ.

Friday October 15

Noah woke up early this morning (5am instead of 5:45 or 6)... he had a very full diaper! I fed him and tried to put him in his crib with the mobile, but he wasn't having it. I brought him to Jeff in bed so I could get some work done and he fell asleep in our bed... he looks like such a big boy in the big bed.

Here's the video that took a week to upload!

Wednesday October 13

Noah was enjoying a Halloween book when I picked him up from school... I was so glad they are reading to them now. Jeff said he was chasing Nikki around the kitchen this morning... he tried going after Jasper when he was eating yesterday and Jasper hissed at him. Nikki will be a better playmate if she keeps coming out.

Tuesday October 12

It was nice to come home today and have Noah immediately crawl towards me and try to climb up my leg... it warmed my heart. He's becoming so independent and making decisions... wish he would decide the receiver and all the wires that go with it are not so interesting - he seems to choose those over his toys!

Monday October 11

Noah was "dancing" today. He was bobbing to the music and laughing... Papa said he was doing it yesterday also.

Sunday October 10

Noah had a tummy ache last night and he woke up around 10:30... I let him try to put himself back to sleep, but it wasn't working... when I went in his room, I found out why... he was standing up holding on to the side of his crib!!!
We went to the grocery store today and used the cart cover for the first time (meaning Noah sat in the cart for the first time)... I think he liked seeing everything from a different perspective. Jeff also installed the new car seat and Noah tried it out... it's very padded with plush material which will be great for winter and will suck for summer.
Michele and Evan came for a visit too and watched Noah blow food all over his face and up his nose!
All in all, it was a great day (other than the Saints sucking)!

Saturday October 9

Noah had a fun filled day today. He went to Nonna's this morning and got to play with Cyrus and visit with Nonna and Aunt Jessica too. I got to run some errands! I bought Noah a new convertible car seat... it looks huge, but comfy for Noah. He is crawling, but I don't think he realizes he can go anywhere now. He only goes short distances to get an item of interest or to be near a certain person. I am glad he's starting off slow because we need to baby-proof the house!
I forgot to mention Noah also held his own bottle and fed himself for the first time today. One of his friends at school was propped up on a boppy pillow feeding himself on Friday... I tried it with Noah and it worked!

Friday October 8 - Crawling

Ok, Noah is officially crawling! I don't think he's figured out how far he can travel yet, but he has begun to slowly crawl just a short distance to get something he wants. We also discovered he looks very cute in a box!

Thursday October 7

When I went in Noah's room this morning, he was sitting up in his bed! It's the first time I've seen him sit up on his own (Jeff said he's seen him do it before). Today he was rolling and scooting all over and also sitting up... it's so amazing to see him grow and change so quickly! He is so close to really crawling. I placed some toys around him this afternoon and he crawled just a little to reach his Humpty Dumpty.
Today was also his first flu shot. Nonna took him... she said he didn't even flinch when the nurse gave him the shot!

Wednesday October 6

It is amazing how far Noah manages to squirm... he can make it from across the living room and into the kitchen!

Tuesday October 5 - starting to crawl... almost!

Monday October 4

Noah and I went to visit Mt. Carmel today. He was so tired, he fell asleep in my arms. Just when I think he's getting so big, he does something so innocent and sweet!

Sunday October 3

(I promise Jeff was having a good time despite his unusual facial expression in this picture!)
Noah's first trip to the French Quarter. We went to eat breakfast with Noah's Godfather Alan and his girlfriend Wendy. Croissant D'Or is so yummy!

Saturday October 2

Noah and I went to my cousin Katie's baby shower today. I wish I would have remembered to take some pics!

Friday, October 1

Happy 7th month birthday Noah!
