Noah lately - 9 months

Noah has been a busy boy lately!  Below are a few videos of what he has been up to.  He loves to ride on his new toy and it is really cute because he holds his feet up when I push him on it.  He loves to wave at people and his laugh cracks me up.  I am really enjoying watching him grow and develop.  At his 9 month doctor appointment we found out he is in the 23rd percentile for weight and 80th percentile for height.  He is standing up on his own sometimes without any assistance or holding on to anything.  He is finally getting some teeth and his bottom two teeth are coming in together.  I will miss his gummy smile:) 

Noah enjoys crawling all over! 

Noah loves being tickled.  It makes him laugh so hard!

Noah loves riding around on his toy.

Noah Eating and Waving

Noah decided today would be a good day to start eating solids (not just baby food).  He LOVES puffs and learned how to feed them to himself today.  My favorite part of the video below is when he decides to wave to everyone.  He is such a put on:) 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Noah has been a very busy boy lately!  Aunt Liz came in this weekend and watched Noah so that Andy and I could have a date night.  It was so nice to have a day/evening to spend some time together.  Noah is all over the place!  He loves life and his personality is really coming through.  He loves to:

• Play basketball
• Crawl everywhere
• Talk all the time
• Walk with assistance
• Hold his hands in the air and say "Yeah"
• Play with Ruger and kiss him
• Give big sloppy kisses to everyone!
• Play in the bath
• Try and put his shoes on his feet

Happy Valentine's Day!!

When mom puts something in my mouth that I don't like I just stick my tongue out and look around. 

Noah's first time in the snow

Noah wasn't quite sure what to think of the snow, but didn't really like when I put some on his lip to taste.  He was taking it all in and being a good sport.  Ruger and Andy were LOVING the snow!

 The snow was a little cold on his little bottom.

Ruger loved the snow!!

My baby is 9 months already!

Noah turned 9 months old today. I cannot believe how fast time has gone by.  He is so much fun and has loads of personality.  He is constantly talking, just like his dad, ok, more like his mom.  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and cannot believe Noah has been in my life for 18 months (9 months in and 9 months out).  I love you Noah Franklin Speer!

Noah's first time getting sick:(

Last night my sweet little Noah got sick for the first time.  He almost made it 9 months without any sickness, but unfortunately I got the stomach bug and gave it to him.  He was such a trooper!  Poor little guy was so sick and just couldn't stop throwing up.  He never even cried and actually smiled at Andy and I several times.  I definitely felt like the baby because he was handling it so much better than me.  He is feeling much better today and we just put him to bed and hopefully he will be even better tomorrow. Below is a picture after he was so sick last night and he finally feel asleep on my lap.  Poor little guy!

He finally said Momma!

This evening is one I will never forget!  Noah has been kind of saying Momma when he is sad, but today he crawled over to me, pulled himself up my leg, gave a big smile and said Momma.  It melted my heart:)  As if I wasn't already wrapped around his finger, now I am for sure!
