13 months and 2 weeks
Dear Noah!
Wow! It’s been forever. I’m sorry mommy couldn't update as
much as she wished. So many things have
happened. To start off, we moved in May.
Totally different city but not too too far away from home. Then, daddy started
working full time. He loves what he is doing but sadly we don’t get to see him
as much. Then, mommy never mentioned this before, but I got pregnant with your
sister when you were 8 weeks old….a while ago. She was born in early September;
you weren't even a year old. It’s so difficult to raise two kids under one.
Daddy and I are making it work though. We have our little schedule and we stick
by it. Anyways, here are some updated regarding yourself and your achievements.
Teething: So, at 6
months you had your front left bottom tooth. At 7 months, you got your left
right bottom tooth. Then, at 8 months, you got both of your from top tooth. At
10 months, you got your right lateral incisor tooth and a few weeks later, your
left lateral incisor tooth. At 11 months (close to 12 months), you got both of
your lateral incisor. Right now, you have your right canine coming in.
Eating: Right now, you eat everything we do. You don’t have
any known allergies. As a newborn, your favorite puree food was butter squash.
You could eat up to 4 jars a meal. Your favorite meat is chicken and favorite
fruit is apples or blueberries depending on your mood. As of right now, your
favorite meat is ham, your favorite fruit is banana or apples and you enjoy
eating pasta a lot.
Walking: You took your first two steps in the playroom of
our first house when someone (I can’t remember who) was holding you and let you
go. You took two steps towards me before realizing it would be easier to just
crawl. You were about 8 months and a half. At 9 months, you were walking
without falling too much. By 11 months you would never fall when you were
walking. Now, at almost 14 months, you can run, dance, and jump (kind of).
Talking: Your first words were mamamamma and dadadadada at
around 4-5 months. Just before you turned one, you started saying “Da qua”
which means “give me” in Portuguese. You also say mamah and dadah and Emma. You
call the cat “ka” and the boobies “boo” or boobi”. Yup, that’s about it… You
also communicate…yes lol. When we ask you “where is X or Y person or thing” you’ll
point to it.
Sleeping: You’re hell to put to sleep and you sleep like
crap. How’s that? You go to bed at 11pm, you wake up on average 4-5 times a
night and you still need to be nursed to sleep. How fun?
Also, here is your routine for now: You wake up at around
9am, then you have your breakfast (toast, eggs or cereals), then you play in
the playroom until about 1pm. Then we eat lunch, you nap, you wake up around
4-5 ish. Then it’s play time again and then we go for a walk with daddy and
Emma. We come back at around 8-9pm. Then it’s your bath time, read a story time
and bed time.
Yup, that sums it up… You’re not an easy baby to deal with
but we love you with all our hearts and we are trying our very best to satisfy
all of your needs. You are a great individual and it’s amazing to see you grow.
Thank you for being so awesome and for being part of our lives.
We love you!!
