Bumps, bruises and large shoes

Well, it happened. It actually really happened. I was getting ready this morning and heard a thud and then little Noah whimpers. I run into the room to find he has found a way to climb out of bed and fall to the ground! HE FELL OUT OF THE CRIB!!! I guess its time to move it down to its lowest setting. He is very adventurous and he isn't fazed by much. So, except for a little sore bottom, he managed to walk away unscathed as I'm sure he will many times in the future too. I am really learning to relax and not freak out at all the crazy things he's doing. He was learning to climb up on the couch the other day and every time, he'd kick his little leg all the way up onto the cushion, start to pull himself up and then teeter between actually getting a grip on getting up and falling down again. Luckily, he was pretty good figuring out how to keep pulling himself up.

Mommy got a new pillow and Noah had to try it out to make sure it was a good buy:)

Because of his new "smile" (sucking in while opening his mouth as big as he can), its really hard to get an actual smile. I finally managed to capture one!

Noah is really enjoying trying on all of Daddy's stuff...his hats, shoes, bracelets, and now his necklaces, although he has a new use for them. Add to that the big belly that leads him whereever he goes and he has the making of a little warrior when he walks around with this on his head:)

This outfit made Noah look so old! His shorts are too big, so they are constantly falling down and I finally bought a belt to help keep them up. Needless to say, I think the belt was really holding the belly up:)

Noah has really started to enjoy playing with the play dough. I think he really just likes to squish it between his fingers. (it all ends up in a pile of little pieces)

He came running out the other morning so proud of himself that he had found Daddy's hat and even put it on by himself....he looks like a little model in the picture above!

What a cutie!!!

I'm not sure how much you can see, but Noah gave himself a spike the other day at dinner. He has really enjoyed watching us react as he runs his hands through his hair during any meal.

And now he's trying on Mommy's shoes. I sure wish I could attach a noise to this picture. The whole time he is trying to get into the shoes, he is grunting, groaning, sometimes even crying. But it all gets better then minute he finally figures out how to get his little feet in the shoes.
