9 Months 3 Weeks

Friday night the three of us went to Brad and Roxy's to celebrate Roxy's birthday! I didn't actually take any pictures, but Roxy got a camera and I know she got some really good ones, so I'll post those at some point. They also gave me a card for my birthday that they've had sitting around for 2 months. They got me a $50 gift card, so Noah and I got to go shopping today!!

When I first got it, I thought of all the wise things I could use it for...the electric bill, the cable bill, gas, groceries, just saving it, but I couldn't really remember the last time I got to go shopping for fun, so I decided I deserved it!

Noah and I found some great things and we got some really awesome deals too!

This curious George ball was only $5 at TJ Maxx. We also got some clothes for Noah.

My personal favorite is the monkey sweater! We also got a little book with a keyboard on it that was only $2 because it was out of batteries.

I'd been wanting to get some shoes for a while since I had nothing really that I can wear to work besides some flats that really hurt my feet and athletic shoes. I really needed something between flip flops and running shoes. Thank goodness for back to school deals! I got two pairs of shoes that are usually $35 and $40 each for $25 together! I'm very excited!

Noah has learned his first word. Well, he's been saying it, but I think he actually knows what it means now. He's been saying "momma" and looking at me or reaching for me all day. Yesterday, while I was feeding Noah his breakfast, he said "baby" clear as day. Then, I said baby to see if it was on purpose and we spent the rest of the time he was eating repeating baby back and forth to each other. I don't know if it counts as a word because I'm not sure he knows what baby means or if he's just heard it, I don't know what qualifies as a "word".

Noah cut FOUR teeth all at once starting Sunday. The beginning of the week was pretty rough but he's now back to his happy self (just with a mouth full of teeth now!)

Last night my parents hung out with Noah for a few hours while Rudy and I ate dinner with some friends and they reported that he stood up on his own, he did it again this morning for a few seconds. He's growing up so fast!

Speaking of growing up fast, I was adding Noah's new teeth to his baby book when it dawned on me that Noah is nearly TEN months!!! I don't know how it went to fast or how I hadn't realized how close the tenth is, but I was seriously shocked!
