11 months

Noah turned 11 months old on the 10th. He is contiuning to change everyday. He has mastered the art of crawling but hasn't figured out the walking yet. (which i am fine with!!!) Noah and Addie have finally become friends, it has taken 11 months, but they are finally playing together! Check out the videos to see how much fun they have together!

We get excited about the craziest things!

So as parents I have realized that we get excited about the craziest things. While Seth and I have known how to crawl for years it is awesome to watch Noah learn these new skills. He is slowly but surely mastering the art of crawling and standing up without our help. Yet again we are amazed at how fast he has grown and changed. I hope you enjoy this video as much as we do! :o)

So BIG

Noah had his 9 month doctors appoitment today. He is HUGE. I know I know i've said this before but really he is.

Weight: 32lbs 5oz
Height: 31 1/4 inch
Head: I have no idea other than HUGE

He is off the charts still but the dr. said he is growing fine and he is developmentally right where he is supposed to be. :o) Most 2 year olds are not as heavy as Noah though and it's getting tougher and tougher on me to carry this little guy around the bigger and bigger I get.

Noah is learning how to crawl...he likes to army crawl...but today he did move forward one step (crawl) which is a first for us. Yesterday he pulled himself up onto his knees. I know we are in trouble soon, he is going to be a monster and into everything. Hopefully he will become less and less frustrated though once he can do what he wants to do. Or maybe not because then I will always be trying to get him to stay out of things.

I am now 21 1/2 weeks along. We are still struggling with what to name Noah's little brother. We have two names picked out. Miles Joseph or Elijah Voughn. I like both of them as does Seth, good thing we have 19 more weeks to figure it out! Baby flick or Jalapeno as we like to call him has started moving around more and more and likes to kick me, i think this is his way of letting me know that he is doing just fine where he is and to not worry. Ha..tell any parent not to worry and I am sure they will laugh at you as this just comes with the job!!!

Well it is nap time for both Noah and I, I just wanted to share with everyone how big our little guy is getting! Do they ever stop growing and changing?

God's Blessings

Noah is going to have a little....

Little BROTHER!!!! We just found out yesterday morning that we are having another little boy. We are so excited, now we just have to figure out the name!! Any suggestions?!?!? The baby is looking very healthy and happy, sucking his thumb and moving around like crazy. He had no problem showing us that he was a boy! I'll try to post ultrasound pictures of our little one as soon as they get scanned into the computer!!!

Melinda
oh and of course this little one is already measuring ahead of schedule for size...he is weighing in around 10oz around...at least 2 weeks ahead of where most babies his age are at! I guess we'll have another BIG one...which is just fine with us...more to love and hug!!!

Pots and Pans

Today while I was making baby food I brought Noah into the kitchen to play with pots and pans as he does not like to be left alone anymore, he needs to be able to see mommy and daddy at all times! He had alot of fun playing with them but I think he liked chewing on the wire wisk most of all. We pray his two top teeth come in soon so that he doesn't hurt as much!!!

New Videos of Noah

Just wanted to add a couple of really cute videos taken of Noah in the last few days.

8 months old

Happy 8 month birthday Noah. (yesterday) We can hardly believe you are 8 months old. In only 4 short months you will be a year old. I do not understand where time has gone, since you were born my days are whirlwinds of fun and activity. You are the most amazing little boy any mom or dad could ever ask for. You constantly amaze your dad and I with all you do. Your smile lights up the room wherever we go.
We cannot believe how big you have gottten. (not that you started out small... I wouldn't call 9lbs 5oz small). At 30lbs and over 31 inches long you look more like a one year old than an 8 month old but we love every single inch of you!! Soon you will be crawling and I will probaly go gray with worry and stress over trying to keep you out of things, but we look forward to the milestones you will be meeting soon!
You have two teeth on the bottom and we are just waiting for the top ones to pop through, we think it could be any day now. You get up on all fours and look as though you are ready to take off. You sit up wonderfully and you are a talker. :o) I love every minute I get to spend with you as does your Papa.
We're not sure how you are going to react when your little brother or sister arrives in November, hopefully you will understand to some extent that you need to share mommy and daddy. I am sure you will be an amazing big brother!! I look forward to watching you play with your sister or brother!
We went swimming for the first time on Sunday at your God Parents house. You had so much fun! You were such a big boy and swam for close to 2 hours kicking your feet and splashing around. I thought maybe you would sleep in the next morning but of course you didn't, I guess there is just so much for you to learn that it's difficult to sleep when you'd rather be playing.
We love you so much Big Guy! You are amazing!!!
Love
Mama and Papa
