Big Changes Ahead

I think we are on the brink of something big. Just in the past week, Noah has started all sorts of new things. I have a feeling things are really going to start happening fast..... crawling, walking, talking, etc! Here are the milestones we've accomplished just in the past few days:

1. Waving - this is so cute. He's been doing it for a while but we couldn't tell if he was meaning it or not. Yesterday and today he's been doing it over and over again at the appropriate times. Even the girls at day care commented about it today.
3. Teething - his top two teeth just broke through today. They have been right there for a while but they are definitely through now.
4. Babbling - he's been vocalizing for a long time but it's just now getting to the ga-ga, da-da, and na-nas. He's been doing this a lot in the past two days. It's so cute.
5. Army crawl - kind of. :-) We have movement anyway -- if you put a toy about a foot in front of him, he'll eventually get it. He's also been trying to get up on his knees by flattening out his back some.
6. Reaching (to be picked up) - this is a few weeks old but I don't think I'd written it here yet.

He's also been a lot more giggly recently. It's so fun to just do silly things and listen to him laugh. I'll try to get some of these things on video and post them here soon.

Every step of this journey, I think, 'there's no way it can get better than this'... and then it does!

We're seeing some of these things, and some others. No waving, but she's pulling herself almost to standing (definitely to kneeling). She is up on her hands and knees but not really moving/crawling yet. No top teeth yet, but I think there is something on the way because she bit down last night and cried out. We've got the vocalizations, too! Ohhh, I can't wait for the waving! It is so amazing and fun, isn't it?
