18 months

I have not been posting very well; not at all these last six months! Noah is doing well.

I almost posted a few months back because Noah had to start seeing an Ear Nose and Throat specialist. We were a little nervous that the result would end in surgery. After consulting with Noah's pediatrician we decided to get a second opinion, from a Children's Hospital ENT. We are on a wait, watch and see agenda with the Children's Hospital doctor as he is not convinced that Noah has what the first doctor thought he had. Noah goes back in a couple of weeks for a check up.

We had his 18 month well visit last week and Noah is 22lbs. and 32 inches. His pediatrician said he is well with in his curve. We go back in a month for a few more shots.

Noah is running! I know I did not post when he started walking, I'm sorry. It only took him a week or so to begin running after he walked and now he does not walk anywhere. He runs all the time.

Did I mention he has gotten big? He doesn't resemble a preemie anymore... He is into everything. He needs to know how things work, how they open and close, what he can do with them.

and how to dive papa's truck....

Noah Spent New Years at Grandmas

We all had a happy new year this year. We went up north to my mom and dads and spent the evening snacking and watching TV. Noah was crawling around making grandpa and grandma happy and proud. Collin had a really good time as well. He spent the evening playing with Peppy and Jake.

More of Noah at Christmas

Noah has been impressing his grand parents with his ability to crawl (fast). He is very curious about the world around him and gets mad when he gets bored with something.

He has three teeth now and is working on a fourth. He is saying mama fairly well and lifts his arms at his high chair when I ask him to.

All That Is Good

Please bear with me as I try to catch up from a busy holiday season and new year. I admit I am horribly behind in my posts and cannot excuse myself for the lack of photos of Noah's first Christmas.

I will be posting more frequently in the up coming months!

Noah 10 month well visit

We saw Dr. Dhar today for a well visit and Noah is doing really well. He is 17lbs. 13 oz. and 26 3/4 inches long.


He has been sitting up really well on his own this week, for up to 20 minutes at a time. He is up on hands and knees rocking back and forth and pushing himself backward across the floor. He has also started rocking while sitting up and I have a feeling it wont be long before he is scooting forward. He has the drive and ambition in his eyes to go. He can move his walker both forward and back and is getting much better at turning it to go where he wants.


He is growing up really fast now, we have started with stage 3 foods. He is doing well with the small noodle and carrot chunks, larger oatmeal, and mashed bananas. He polished off half of a biter biscuit (cookie shaped like a flat finger) in 2 minutes this afternoon. He loves the Christmas tree and the stuffed puppy stocking that barks Christmas carols while its ears move. He is playing with real toys now and anything that makes noise and lights up gets his attention. He also really loves the tags on his stuffed toys, blankets, and clothes.

Thanksgiving Day with Aunt Lori and baby Chloe

On Thanksgiving Noah had Grandma Langley's cooking for the first time and he didn't spit any of it at me ;) He also met Baby Chloe, my niece Becky's new little girl. She is 7 lbs. 13oz. Noah is no longer the tiniest person in the family.

Noah at 9 Months...

Noah's First Halloween....

Fit and Fat... Taking time to play!

We had the Developmental Clinic a couple of weeks ago and Noah is doing wonderful. So far here are no signs of lingering problems from his early birth. He is due for a Flu shot and his first RSV shot very soon. He was 16 lbs. on Oct. 25th and 9 months old, length was 26 inches. He is still a little small but catching up OK. He has more than mastered the roll over and is sitting up with someone to catch him when he leans to far. He is trying to crawl but hasn't yet realized that it works best when you get you back end up off the floor. He does a great job pushing himself snake like across the floor both forward and back. He is also getting more capable with his walker, he goes backward like a champ and has started working in a forward step from time to time (1 step forward 25 steps back... lol).

Eight Months

Wow, the time is really flying by! Noah is getting so big. He is eating meats now and has been for a month and a half. The only food that really gives us grief is rice. His digestive system is just not fond of it. He is trying really hard to sit up, he is getting help from me still but if Collin is on the floor in front of him he will lean toward him a bit and hold himself up for a while. If Collin is not there he is just so squirmy that he falls over. He has also started pushing himself backward in his walker.

All of his shots are done until his first year with the exception of the Flu shot and RSV shots. He will get RSV once a month during the flu season. The only other medical news is the developmental clinic we go to at the end of October. I will post again after it and fill everyone in.

Noah is an angel at night, he sleeps right through. He is still trying to push out those first teeth and has good days and bad days as far as being cranky.
