Excellent Eleven Months

Noah turned 11 months on August 25th.  We celebrated by spending the day at the hospital visiting with my sister (his Aunt Lissa).  She was having a WONDERFUL day.  She was in very high spirits and I was able to pillow him in so he could sit in between her legs without having access to any of her iv wires.  We chatted and they played for a right good while. It really made my heart smile.

Here are some fun updates this month in the life of Noah Zelman:

• 23 lbs
• 30 inches
• Size 4 diaps
• Size 9/12, 6-12, 12 month clothing
• TWO teeth :) Pretty sure in 5 more months he finally work in two more :p
•  Noah will hand you items upon request.  Then he would like said item back and proceeds to have a tug of war (always a game!). Baby steps :P
• He will clap on command (both english and spanish)
• He clicks/clucks his tongue
• My personal favorite: Nose picker. Yes he has found his nose and you can find him most of the day with his little pointer knuckle deep...awesome.
• He stands alone unassisted for several minutes.
• This of course led to him taking his first "steps"However normally this only occurs when he is trying to get food or is angry. Go figure.
• He loves to share. Especially half eaten, soggy, drool infested food. Be still my heart.
• LOVES to dance :)
• Will shout "HEY!" when he wants to get someone's attention.
• Only says Mama when he is upset (read: wants food) or is mad (read: something was taken away). 
• My all time favorite and melts my heart is his fake laugh. Its almost like Santa is doing a little chuckle.  Whenever anyone else is laughing he feels the need to be involved and not be left out. So Noah will do this HA HA really quick to make sure everyone knows he is there and he got the joke too. HILARIOUS and absolutely freaking adorable.

Here are some of his favorite iPad apps:

• Anything and everything Duck, Duck, Moose: Our personal favorite is Old MacDonald, fish school and the Wheels on the Bus.  
• Pat the Bunny
• The Monster at the End of the Book
• PBS Kids (he can watch episodes of his favorite shows)

 Favorite TV shows:

• Sesame Street (PBS can you please stop repeating the same five episodes especially since the show has been on air since what the 70s? How about opening that vault!)
• Super Why! (LOVE!-Alpha Pig is Mama's favorite!)
• Yo Gabba Gabba (We don't, don't, don't bit our friends....yeah those songs are addicting and I've def referenced them at in appropriate times)
• Dinosaur Train (Matt's been in heaven with this one :))

Sharing Piglet with Daddy!
