Long Time No Blog :(

Well, friends and family, I am FINALLY updating the blog. We have been far too busy to even think about trying to formulate an entry. Noah is doing SO many fun things now that he's getting older. I can't believe he's going to be 13 months in a couple of weeks. Sometimes, I feel like we just brought him home...especially now that he's REALLY teething and crying off and on throughout the night.

Noah's recent developments:
*He's taking a few independent steps. He has a bit of a confidence issue when it comes to this, but if you distract him by having something that he wants, he practically runs at you.


*He's talking quite a bit. He's pretty much like a parrot at this point. If you ask him to say something, he will repeat it in what I have deemed "Noah language." Most of the time, it sounds very similar to the word you asked him to say and sometimes, he'll surprise you and repeat it perfectly. Things he repeats a lot: Mama, Dada, hot, duck, ball, bottle, bird....
*He has 7, almost 8 teeth now. Four on the top and 3 with one cutting through on the bottom right now. When he smiles, he looks a lot like Adam. :)
*He weighs about 24 1/2 lbs, which is a good weight for him at this point. What's humorous to me at this point is that he's in the 60th percentile for weight, but only the 8th percentile for height. Hello, have you seen his father? Poor kid. He's probably going to get my short genes.

Adam and I also had a little mini-vacation to Indianapolis. We had so much fun just the two of us. I had forgotten how much fun we used to have when we used to have more time to spend together. We stayed at a nice hotel, we rode a tandem bike, we went to see a Broadway show, etc... Thank the Lord for Grandmothers that watch your children while you go :)
