Our Adventure: September 2009

Wow, it's been way too long since I last posted! Noah is keeping me very busy these days. He is on the go and does not like to stop=) He's been crawling for about 2 months now, so he's really picked up speed. His crawl started as a funny little inchworm crawl (he would straighten his arms and put his head to the ground, then push with his feet). It looked pretty funny, but it got him where he wanted to go. Then it evolved into an Army low crawl (it's in his genes). And finally a regular crawl. He goes pretty fast now and has us on our toes all the time. He's also been able to pull himself up to stand for the past few weeks. He's still working on his balance and has suffered a few bumps and bruises, but he's doing great! He gets a great big smile when he accomplishes something new, so we are always there to applaud and encourage. He's a very social little boy and always talks and smiles at people wherever we are. He is also a bit of a flirt with the ladies, so I'm going to have to keep a close eye on him=)
As for Thomas and I, we are doing good. Thomas is busy and works a lot during the monthly rotations, so Noah and I miss him while he's working. But we always look forward to the days when he's off. We are looking forward to a Family Fun Day at the end of the month and a trip out to "The Box" to see where the training takes place. I am also going to participate in the Spouse Spur Ride at the end of October, so I'm trying to get in shape for that. I'll post pictures once that is done (if I survive!)
