First steps!

Due to Noah having a virus, we just played at home the last couple days. It is only the second time he has been sick (besides ear infections) and both times it was just a virus. He takes viruses like a champ even when everything is coming up. He has acid reflux the first several months of his life so it is nothing new. I did forget all the cleaning and laundry I did...no fun!

I missed my workout at 24 Hour Fitness so I just decided to workout here with Noah. He enjoyed watching me look silly as I worked out and also tried to grab (and chew on of course) my elastic band. He didn't want to miss out on all the fun!
He did not miss a beat with his walker either.
But, the most exciting news of all is that he took his first steps unaided. Last night he walked a few steps to John and then back to me. Today he was walking with my finger and when I let go and continued walking a few steps toward me. I am such a proud Momma! And this big event is on a day that he cannot keep anything down. Who would have thought? One day I will not have to carry him so much! Praise the Lord. Yes, I know He will be very mobile and get into everything even more but I am ready and excited for him! :) What an exciting time!

Proud Momma,
Emily

Hooray for Noah! So proud of him! Our boys will be racing away from us before we know it!

Sorry for the bug...we teach them to share but didn't mean to share THAT!

We are so excited about seeing Noah walk on Nov. 14th. And, of course can't wait to keep him in Dec. Hope he will have fun here. We are making a playroom upstairs and moving all the toys up today. Also ordering our new TV for upstairs and looking for a table like Anna's for it and extra storage. Got a Pooh Bear table and 2 chairs and truck and big bug toy at garage sale with Anna today. She got a wooden toy chest for $10 that needs some fixing up.
It is so wonderful you won't need to pick him up as much. Also we will teach him how to go up the stairs on the 14th. See you soon.
