Good look?

Terah seemed to think so...

(the hat was not purchased).

Baby on the fabric table

This is what happens when your two teacher friends have the week off...

They were trying to test who Noah would choose. He decided to drool puddles instead.

Some things can't be caught on camera

Lately, Noah's mannerisms have been cracking me up...

1. He likes to amble across the floor on his one-legged crawl while dragging his favorite plastic screwdriver or red block with him everywhere.

2. In the mornings after I feed him, he will stand in my lap, tilt his head sideways to look behind me, and grin at himself in the mirror.

3. When he's forced to lie down for a diaper change, he'll clasp his hands together and shake them... as if praying that God would let him up.

4. He loves grabbing our face and giving us a huge smile up close so we can smell his milk breath (it's quite lovely... not).

We did however capture Noah's snuggles when he was sick with a fever...

And his late night giggles with dad.

Happy Chinese New Year

Noah's friend Josh had a pigtail off his hat. Genius.

9 months and so much fun

Nine months! Wow.

We are loving this age and I wish he could stay like this forever - giggly, social, curious, and innocent.

Time will tell what kind of boy he will become, but let's just say these past nine months have revealed glimpses of his drama (we call him Johnny Drama... think HBO's Entourage) and a mind of his own.

His smile makes me forgive him, and his laughter brings us joy. Way to make it to 9 months Noah!
