1 year check up

We have been pretty busy lately! Last week we went to Philadelphia for a few days to visit Aunt Meggie. We had lots of fun. We went to a big outlet mall and Noah got to ride on a couple of little rides there and we went to the Philly zoo. Aunt Meggie also made Noah some yummy cupcakes and got number 1 candle to light for him.

Noah had a great Birthday! He loved seeing everyone at his party. He got some very nice gifts and really enjoyed his turtle cake.

On Monday Noah had his 1 year check up. He weighed 23lbs 11 oz (between the 50-60th percentile) and was 30 1/2 inches (75th percentile). He grew about an inch and a half since his 9 month check up! He ended up falling asleep after seeing the doctor before the nurse came in to give him his shots. He never opened his eyes when he got the shots, just screamed for a second and went back to sleep. Then we went down to lab to get his finger pricked for the lead and iron tests they do and he did great. He complain for a second when they pricked him then just sat and watch well they did what they had to do. He is such a good little boy : )

He has finally started to sleep through the night on a more regular basis, although he still doesn't like his crib too much. He still nurses a couple times a day and before bed. We still really haven't found anything he doesn't like to eat and he started drink whole milk a few days ago and is doing great with that. He has started to use some sign language. He will sign for milk when I ask him if he wants milk and he sees me sign it. We are still working on "more " and a few others.

Today my books and dental supplies got delivered. I started classes next Tuesday! I have 3 days left of work.

I have a bunch of pictures and a few videos from Philly and Noah's party but I am having trouble uplaoding them right now. I will get them up soon.

Happy Birthday Noah!

I was going to write about Noah's birthday, his 1 year check up and all the new things he has been doing but Noah isn't going to let me tonight! I will try again tomorrow!

Noah is WALKING!

Noah walking

Here is a link to a video of Noah walking that's on facebook(if you haven't seen it already). He is becoming such big boy. He blows kisses now and gives real kisses(mostly just to mommy). He says mama a lot and makes many other sounds. He loves dancing and will sit and look at books now too. It's hard to believe his birthday is at the end of this month already. Here are a few recent pictures!

Look at my teeth! I have 3 now!

Pushing the stroller


Swinging : )

July Update

We have been pretty busy lately. It's hard to believe the Noah will already be a year old next month. His first tooth finally popped through a couple weeks ago and is still barely half out. He has taken a few steps on his own (like 2 or 3) and cruises along the furniture. He also loves to walk with his push toy. The other day I brought the push toy outside when we took Abby out and Noah pushed it all around the grass and walked back inside by himself : ) He pretty much eats anything now. We haven't found anything he won't eat yet! He has also started to dance and it is super cute.

I found out last week that I was accepted into the dental hygiene program at MCC. I had been on the waiting list and someone withdrew. They only accept around 30 students each fall and over 300 people had applied! I met with the director of the program this past week and registered for classes. I start September 7th! I won't be able to work at the daycare anymore and will have to find another part time job. I already have a bunch of classes done so I will technically be a part time student but since its been a few years since I have taken any classes(and I have Noah to chase after) that is ok with me.

We have been swimming a lot lately, especially during the week that was in the 90's.

Noah stacking his blocks! He also is starting to stack his ring toys. He is a smart little boy!

Fireworks

Enjoying some corn on the cob, while just the cob : )



Noah actually seemed to enjoy the 4th of July fireworks!

He made it though most of the show before falling asleep right before the finale.

Mischievous Little Dude

Today Noah thought it would be funny if he pulled my bowl of cheerios (milk and all) off the desk. I guess it was my fault for leaving it near the edge. He had lots of fun though playing with the mess and even got to have a little snack!

This one is my favorite, so mischievous!

I am still trying to upload some videos but blogger is not being very cooperative.
