noah | ten months


Dear Noah,

On the day you turned ten months old, we went to my cousin Jackie's wedding. You walked around the dance floor like you owned the place and everyone commented how you look too little to be walking around. I agree, little boy. But! You think you have places to go, people to see, things to climb. And now that you walk pretty good, you're set on learning to run. Oh my!

You have four, very sharp teeth now. You play a mean game of peek-a-boo with your blanket over your head. You thrash wildly during diapers changes. And you think having your clothes on is some kind of torture. 

You will eat anything I let you eat. You love to dance and "sing" with your sisters. You remain the loudest person in our house. And you look like Linus dragging your blanket around when you're tired. 

You're my snuggly guy. Maybe even a momma's boy. But I don't think that's a bad thing at all. You're very sweet. And you're tough too, based on how often you fall and hurt yourself. You probably wouldn't fall so much if you didn't try to climb everything. Seriously, you climb all.  the.  things.  Chairs, tables, couches, window sills.

You love to wrestle and get rolled around.  And you think the couch is a jungle gym. 

I can't believe how big you've grown, but your ten month checkup proves you're still just a little guy.
You weigh 17 lbs 15 oz (5th %)
and are 28" tall (25th %).

And to think, you are a giant compared to your sisters at this age.

Sometimes, when you're sleepy, I can still squish your little body into a squishy ball and snuggle you up like the tiny baby you are. But most of the time, you're ready to run and wiggle and be free. Nursing has turned into a gymnastic event at times. 

Most of all, you're our loving little boy. Animals, your sisters, our family...you love them all. And we love you. 

Xoxo,
Your momma
