First Halloween

Noah enjoyed his first Halloween dressed up as a little bat! We listened to some children's music at the mall, and then posed for some pictures.

Peek-a-boo

This one speaks for itself...

Now he's getting around

Last night, my phone rang in the living room while we were both in the family room with Noah. I went to go get it, and he walked right after me! That's the furthest he's gone yet. Here is a video from the morning of October 26th, at 10 months and 1 week (plus a few days).

Our little walker

A few days ago, Noah took his first steps! He has now walked about five feet across the living room. Of course, every time I try to film, his little walks are much shorter, but you can get the picture. He is so excited with this new development! Now we really need to baby proof!

Practice

Noah is getting good at taking steps! This video, from 8 1/2 months, already looks outdated.

Chasing Monty

People often ask how Noah interacts with the cats, and vice versa. So far, the cats are very patient with him. Here is Monty taking it all in stride, with Noah 5 days short of completing 8 months old:

Trip to the pool

Noah's achievement in the last several weeks has been pulling himself up to stand. He started right around 7 months. I set him down in the bedroom while putting away some clothes, and less than a minute later, I looked over to see him standing up, holding onto the bedrail (which is at floor level)! I was completely surprised.

Here he is at the pool at 7 months 3 weeks, so excited at his new vertical position!

Bathtime is fun!

Noah loves his baths! Here he is at 7 and a half months, laughing at mommy...

Still not sure if I like sweet potatos...

Here is a fun video of Noah eating outside at 7 mos 3 wks...



His favorite foods are pears for breakfast and oatmeal mixed with mommy's milk for lunch.

The real deal

Noah's destination, now that he can really crawl (video from 7 months 5 days):
