He's trying...

Sunday was such a fun day for Noah! He was learning and laughing throughout the day. And we had some good laughs as he was learning new things. The biggest thing was after church Sunday night...we went over to Kelly & Jon's house, and we had just finished eating. Noah had some of his sweet potato puff stars; he is picking them up by himself very well, and using both hands! At one point, Paul wanted him to pick up the star with his left hand, but Noah kept reaching for it with his right hand. Paul kept moving it, trying to persuade him to take it with his left rather than his right hand. After moving the star around time after time, Noah had enough, and he grabbed Paul's hand with both of his hands and put it to his mouth so he could eat the star puff!

Then, Paul had the idea of placing a star on his end of the table and then having Noah try to crawl across the table to get it. (it was a small 4-person round table) After lots of encouragement from his Mommy & Daddy and Aunt Kelly & Uncle Jon, he tredged toward it like a little Marine in a trench. We were all so proud!! So we kept doing it. He was so cute pulling himself toward to get the food. He played this game with us for several star puffs, but then decided that he had enough of it. Paul didn't want him to give up, so instead of just one star, he dumped a bunch of stars out on the table, and Noah went after them!! One star just wasn't enough for him...he needed more incentive!

One other fun thing that we discovered that night was that our baby boy has a good ear (for music). Kelly was holding him and singing, and he was babbling on with her, so she sang one note to see if he would sing with her...and he matched the note!! He did this several times at different tones, and for the most part, he found the note!! We were so amazed, and I was just tickled pink that he could do that at such a young age!!

All-in-all, it was a great night having fun with Noah Wesley!! :)
