A Month Away

Our little Noah J. is 11 months this week...so close to his first birthday! It blows my mind how fast these years keep flying (please SLOW DOWN).

 He is still sleeping great...in fact, since the holidays, his wake-up time has been between 9-10am. We must have worn him out!
He has also been doing great on the "basketball schedule" which can call for some late nights (or maybe that's why he sleeps so late???). He pretty much takes one long nap a day now. If he happens to wake up earlier than 9:00 (per say, on Sundays), the 2 naps is necessary for this booger.

 He got his first haircut last week. I'm not a huge fan of it (even though it was my idea) and am already for those long curls to grow back...even if it was taking mullet-form.

 Noah has added some new little bits to his personality: he loves to dance (though his moves are far from stardom - still adorable), he now can wave "bye-bye" and say it simultaneously if you're lucky, he can give you a "high-5", and he signs "more" like a champ now.

 Thanks to his rough and tumble big brother, he's getting tougher - he can get tackled off the couch or jumped on and sometimes (note - sometimes) will just keep on his way playing.
He is still not walking and honestly not showing interest. I joked I was hoping he'd wait until after basketball season to walk (much easier to have only one child that can run away from you), and I thought there was no way that would come true...now I'm thinking it might actually happen! As long as he can walk by the time we go to the beach this summer, I don't really care. I'm enjoying this phase with him!

 Like Lincoln, this little guy also has the gift of expressiveness. I think my two boys might be a bit dramatic (which my family would say came directly from ME).
This little guy still has NO TEETH! But don't be fooled...there have been quite a few nights where he has out eaten ALL of us. Seriously.
Speaking of eating, he likes EVERYTHING. And I feel like he has basically tried everything. We've been done with baby food for months now because he will eat just about anything I cook. Fantastic.

Pretty hard to believe his next update will be his birthday party - CRAZY!
