Here's Noah at 9 months old, getting a major case of the sillies after dinner.
From February.
Here's a montage of Noah at around the 11 month mark. It includes Noah's spot-on impression of a dog barking, a terrific game of peek-a-boo, and even a glimpse of a couple early steps:
Next up are some highlights from the afternoon where things really started to click for Noah with his walking. The longest walks were not caught on camera, of course, but this video gives a taste of the moment.
Noah meets Noah...
Noah and Carin.
Noah's second passover.
We'll end with Noah's first birthday party. Here he is with his Grandma Barbara and Grandpa Howie.
And here is a video of the birthday boy with all his baby friends. Get ready for the cute!
Here is 5-month-old Noah playing peek-a-boo with Daddy in his crib.This is one of the first times he figured out that he could play too, ducking out of sight. As you can see, the game really cracks him up.
Noah loves his vegetables. But this wasn't the case back in October, when 6-month-old Noah was fed pureed peas for the first time:
Noah was a monkey for his first Halloween. Here's the footage that proves it.
And here's a series of monkey photos that tell a very familiar story:
And that's all for Months 6 through 9. Not a lot of footage posted. If we can fill in later, we will. In the meantime, onwards!
Okay. New strategy. I've been wanting to blog about many of the cute things Noah has been doing lately, but, for my own neurotic reasons, I can't do that until I'm all caught up on the last 11 months of Noah's life. So, rather than trying to perfectly encapsulate each month, I'm simply going to post all the videos that we posted to YouTube since Month 2 of his life. This way, all the videos (the public ones and unlisted ones) will be in one place, in chronological order, for any of you who want to check them out. If have time to fill in the gaps with pictures or anecdotes later (for historical purposes), then I will, but, realistically, this may not happen.
For now, I'll start this post on June 25, 2011. Noah was two and a half months old and eager to turn himself over. Enjoy...
Next up is a gem from July 4th weekend. We were hanging out in a fancy schmancy house on the Malibu shore with Carin's brother's family, and Noah was being particularly cute and talkative. He is almost 3 months old here.
The next video is from a week later. It is a montage of Noah vocalizing and making raspberries (his favorite activity for a while).
This is a picture from our trip east in late July. Noah is three and a half months old here.
The little old man and the sea:
Now, another personal favorite. August 4. Almost four months old. Noah had squealed with delight before, but this is one of the first times he truly giggled, a portent of things to come...
And then, he turned four months old.
This is a video we took moments after Noah discovered that, if you kick in the tub, it makes a splash. He quickly determines that making splashes is fun. Later in the video, he tries to grab the camera (for the first of many times)...
And, if you thought that was cute, here's more bath-time fun. A week before his five month birthday, Noah proves that he really REALLY loves to splash in the tub.
Finally, a couple days later, we have Noah outside in our backyard, sitting in his bouncy seat. He is VERY happy here.
More of our continuing catchup series. Here is our little guy at two weeks old:
Here he is on the day Osama bin Laden was killed. When the news broke, Noah just happened to be wearing his most patriotic onesie.
Here is a VIDEO of Noah, dreaming of breastfeeding, taken a few days before his one month birthday. Keep an eye on his mouth...
Noah at one month old:
This is Noah and Carin on her first Mother's Day.
THE EAST COAST TOUR #1
We flew east in late May/early June to visit family and friends and attend a wedding. The pictures below are not comprehensive highlights by any means (none of these posts are; I don't have the time for that now), but they are a few photos we happen to enjoy.
Here is our happy family at the rehearsal dinner for Ali and John's wedding in Massachusetts.
I forget the context of this picture, but Noah sure does look cute here.
Noah meets his great aunt Liza.
Here's the part of the trip where Noah got to meet new baby friends and be photographed awkwardly with them. Here he is....
...with a bewitching young Olivia Haas (posing with mother, Danielle):
...with that dazzling charmer Tori Emsley (seen here with mother, Rachel):
...with the dynamic up-and-comer Leo Fox (in the arms of mother, Michelle):
...with the foxy and feisty Sonia Souppa (hoisted by mother, Rina)
An important milestone. Noah's first Dim Sum at China Pearl in Boston.
