10 months old...

Happy birthday Noah!
You are 10 months old today! You are growing so fast. You want to catch up with your big brother and sister ...right now. You walk, no more crawling for you! You are such a chubby bubby, your brother and sister call you the 'giant baby'...actually that's when you are coming closer and closer to their itty bitty toys and play. They yell "Aaack giant baby!!" and run off to higher ground where you can't reach yet. You'll catch up with them soon enough at the rate you are going.

You are inquisitive (as most babies/toddlers are) and always trying to figure out how things work, what you can reach and get ahold of. Trying things out in your mouth to see how they taste...yum ... and not so yum sometimes. Hitting things to hear the sound they make or just to see what it will do is a favorite activity. You're also fond of sticks, rocks and balls. You know how to kick a ball. Sometimes you go around in little circles kicking the ball with one foot and other times you miss the ball completely and it goes right between your legs! You love cars and really want them to figure out how they work...you study them intently, play with them, let them roll between your chubby little fingers to drop to the floor, throw them and sometimes you just give up.

Sometimes I think you are on the verge of saying something. Maybe it's a sound that we've been practicing with you, maybe it's a name of someone, maybe it's just a noise you want to make. We're looking forward to you talking! I'm sure it'll happen sooner than we think!

I love you so much!
Mommy
