The past few weeks Noah would spend a lot of time in quad rocking back and forth and then laying his belly back down on the floor. He would then proceed to lay on the floor reach out his arm and try to use "The Force" to draw an object closer. When that didn't work he would shimmy, shake, pull, grab, and army crawl his way to the object. Finally grasping hold of it and proceeding to place the item in his baby jaws and chomp down with his two new bottom teeth. (Did I mention he has some sharp little chompers now)?
Once he had a grasp on the quad position he slowly advanced to putting one arm out in front of him and then rocking till his little leg popped forward. The beginning of crawling. He continually worked himself into a sweat on the floor daily until that one movement became two, and then three, then five or six crawling movements. Then suddenly a day or two ago...Noah just strung together a crawl across the entire living room. All it takes to get him going now is a little motivation in the form of a desired toy, mom and dad's toes (he loves pinching our feet) or the baby gate that dad was assembling.
On the eating front Noah is getting to experience all kinds of new foods, textures, and levels of puree. He loves apples, cantaloupe, watermelon, and carrots. He is still a little unsure of the fork mashed bananas, but he does like pureed banana. He is also slowly but surely getting used to his sippy cup...although he prefers to shake it, chew on it, and flip it upside down to play with the little nub of plastic on the bottom of the cup.
It has been an exciting month in our household, he is changing every day almost so fast that I feel bad missing a day to work because when I see him the following day he has a new trick to show me!
Here are the 9 month photos from our session yesterday. I can tell you that now that Noah is mobile he won't sit still for pictures long...especially once daddy brings out his fancy camera.
Enjoy!
