The past Eleven months have flew by in a fast, manic blur. It honestly seems like only yesterday that Noah was born and all of a sudden I was responsible for this little life and he was all mine.
So much has changed in the last few months, and I know it'll continue to change in the following months. There's one thing I'm sure of, babies grow up far too fast!
To try and focus on all the big changes I'll go through all the standard milestones first. Although I'd always been told "Oh as soon as they're six months old they'll be crawling around the house and there'll be no stopping them" in Noah's case this couldn't be further from the truth. Noah has never really showed much interest in all of the physical things like crawling and sitting up- He didn't sit up confidently on his own till about 9 months- At the minute he is still yet to crawl and he isn't showing any intentions of learning anytime soon. He has, however, started rolling everwhere so he is now getting into everything! He is also really good at standing with just a little bit of support which he's been practicing a lot lately.
   Although he hasn't tried to crawl he loves babbling! Most days when I go to pick him up from nursery, I can hear him babbling away loudly or singing as soon as I enter the building. He's constantly trying to say new sounds and words, repeating them again and again until he gets the hang of it. At the moment his favourite words are dada, mama, nana and ta. In the last few weeks he has also begun to connect the words with the people as well which I'm so proud of. As always he's a really good eater and always devours his milk and meals with no hesitation. Every day when I look at him I see how he's starting to grow into an independent little boy and I know he's not going to be a baby much longer (although he'll always be my baby) and although it can be a bit emotional at times seeing him grow up, I'm so proud of the boy he's becoming.
