11 Months Old!

Noah turned 11 months yesterday. This past month was chock full of accomplishments. Noah perfected his crawl, learned to go from tummy to sitting, practiced pulling up, and learned to coast along the furniture. He has also expanded his food options beyond pureed foods - he gums green beans, frozen blueberries, bananas, peas, pears, and small pieces of chicken. Lately, it seems like he is hungry all the time, so I am expecting a good weight gain at his doctor's appointment next month.

Noah loves to play peek-a-boo and is on a never ending quest to take control of the television remote control so that he can change the channel. His favorite toys are a bouncy ball at Grammy's house and cars. He is starting to interact with us more in his play - he tries to roll his ball to us and tries to imitate noises that we make.

Noah is very good-natured, but doesn't like to be alone or to be left in the nursery at church. He is happiest when Mommy is in eye-sight.

We love him so much!!!

Fanatic

We didn't have the heart to tell him the Cowboys didn't make the playoffs.

Noah's New Wardrobe

Noah will be looking like quite the Cowboys fan, thanks to some new Christmas clothes from Grandma Lola, Grandpa Abby and Great Aunt Jani and Great Uncle Dan!

Merry Christmas

What a wonderful year! Noah's first Christmas has been so special. We love getting cards from friends, reading their letters, and covering our refrigerator with Christmas photos. This month, Noah and I were able to visit my sister Suzanne and her family in Arizona with Grammy and Grandpap. Charlotte and Jack are so much fun and full of energy. Noah just loved watching them and learning a few new tricks.

On Christmas Eve, we attended church with several couples from our Bible study, including Noah's buddy Ethan Foulke. Today we will be having dinner with Grandma Lola and Grandpa Abby.

Noah's Christmas present to us was learning how to crawl yesterday. It's not the most elegant crawl, but we are happy with forward progress.
