Month 11...time has flown!

During his 11th month Noah has spent most of his time healing. However in those weeks he continues to amaze us. He has learned to identify more objects and people. He has added the /b/, /g/, /n/, /k/ sounds to his speech and is attempting to say more words like Abuelo, Abuela, Caleb, and Hello. He isn't always successful at saying it clearly but he sure tries. He also is saying more Papa and Dada.

Noah has been communicating in some positive ways. If he wants to read a book he will sit and turn the pages alone, if he wants you to read it he will give it to you and sit or raise his hands so you can sit him on your lap. He also knows to respond to "dame" (give me); he doesn't always obey but he is getting there. He has become more obedient too.

On the other hand he has picked up on that little thing of showing his displeasure by throwing himself on the floor. Um, really? I thought that wasn't happening till beyond 18 months?? If he wants to act like a big boy he better start behaving like one...maybe get this potty training thing going. :)

No luck with a sippy cup yet and he still prefers his old nipple. But nothing is stopping him from eating all types of solids. He also finished up a week on frozen breastmilk, did a week and a half on Similac, and now is on cow's milk. Hip Hip Hooray!

Another good thought to share is the amazing relationship he has with his brother. He lights up at the sight of him in the morning and upon his return from school. He loves him dearly and they both love to play together.

We are in the preparation for his first birthday...we hope all our family and friends can come share this very special event and hear the testimony that is Noah.
