Your first step!

Dear Noah,

OK, so I am embarassed to even admit it, but you napped in your swing for 10 months of your life. But, as of New Year's Day, you now nap in your crib!!! It took about 5 days, but you now will cry for about 2 minutes and then put yourself to sleep for a good hour and a half, 2 times a day. Let me tell you, the first 2 days were awful! You screamed like a crazy man, but I stuck it out and here we are....such a big boy!

Speaking of big boys...you are 10 months old now....I really love this stage! You babble all the time, laugh a lot, and are so observant of your surroundings. I must say, you do pick up on things quickly too! We show you a new trick one time, and you remember how to do it on your own from there on out! You will mimic my tongue movements when you are trying to speak and today, at 12:00, yout took your first step all by yourself!!!!!! I moved a toy and you took one step toward it and then grabbed onto something for support to get to it. I think you are very close to walking all by yourself!

You are waking up from your nap, so I better wrap this up.

Love you,
Mommy
