Noah's 17 months old today and is growing and changing everyday. He climbs into his chair at his table with ease, he can get onto his rocking chair, has almost gotten onto his daddy's chair and of course he's trying to get onto the couch as well.
He loves playing with his computer. He knows how to turn it on and off and has favorite buttons that he likes to push. He thinks he's pretty big stuff typing on his laptop although he still loved to type on mine.
He's become a master at the phone. He had my cell phone yesterday and actually dialed Justin's cell!! I must admit we open the phone bill with caution, we keep waiting to see an expensive phone call placed to China!
"Must play trains!" is what this picture is saying. To say he loves his train set is an understatement. He loves trains and is developing a love for vehicles. His new favorite toy is his farm truck that Santa brought him for his first Christmas.
We thought he'd be walking by now but he's decided to remind us that he will do things in his own time. Jessica, his physical therapist, told us this past weekend that it's normal for babies to regress a little before they start walking independently. For a while he would walk back and forth between Justin and I without any help. Now when we try to get him to walk he'll lean against our arms or hang onto our hands. . . once we try to get him to let go he'll go straight to the ground. Like I said, he'll do it in his own time!
Practicing our walking!!! Noah is finally starting to take some steps on his own. He's really made a lot of progress the past couple of days. He's gone from me basically pushing him to walk towards Justin (and vice verse) to him standing against the couch and starting to walk towards me on his own. 
It was such a BEAUTIFUL day yesterday that we took Noah for a walk in his wagon to my parents' house across town. He loves to ride in it! I knelt down to visit with him at a red light and he quickly let me know that my job was not to visit with him but to pull him!
Of course his 
I think this picture is too cute, he looks like he's ready for his own office, doesn't he? He loves that table. He loves to work at it. . . .
And sit and play under it.
This is his newest climbing toy, our 
And it's also a great reading spot!
