I am a terrible blogger. Here is our update for November!
11 Months-
I cannot believe that this is the last month before we have
a 1 year old! This boggles my mind. Noah is such a big boy now. He is learning
new things so quickly and every day I am surprised. New things that he can do
include waving, high fives, cruising on furniture with only 1 hand, making car
and boat noises and a whole array of new babbles that we had never heard before
like “wooooah!”
He also can purposefully ask to be read to and does this
often. When he wants someone to read to him, he hands us the book and says “gook?”
He loves books and gets very impatient about reading. We usually get 2 pages in
before he shuts the book, climbs off our lap, gets another and yells “gook!” It
is very very clear that he is communicating and has things to say. We are
getting used to the things he says and does and usually understand what he
wants. He mostly says D and G sounds. When he sees a dog he says duk. Close. He
favorite sound is “da” so maybe Dada will get a title before Mama will.
Noah also got to visit with some friends this month. We got together with some moms and babies from my moms group. We had a great time in Boston Public Garden and 5 babies was a sight for everyone else to see.

Thanksgiving-
Noah had his first thanksgiving this month! He was a bit
overwhelmed and off schedule but had a great time visiting with Nanny and Poppy
and Grandma G and Pop John. He like the food but it wasn’t anything new for him
really. He is doing pretty well with eating food and we always try to give him
what we are having for dinner so he has had all the thanksgiving staples
before. He is also doing great with a sippy cup and carried one around all
weekend, taking dramatic swigs of cider.
Upcoming festivities-
We are very excited about the milestones that are coming. We
can’t wait to put up the Christmas tree and see what Noah does. We hope he
doesn’t knock it down and plan on surrounding it with a gate. We want to let
him play with the lights and dance to Christmas music.
Most exciting is Noah’s first birthday. I cannot believe my
baby is going to be one. We will have a party for him and can’t wait for
everyone to celebrate our little man with us. I will probably cry. I can’t
believe the year has gone by so fast. We are in a completely different place
this year than 1 year ago.
