Houston....We Have a Tooth!
Noey's bottom left front tooth made its debut this morning during breakfast. Will try and pin her down for a picture later!
Tar-Jay
I swear we are in Target at least twice a week! We are stocking up for daycare and had to get more school supplies. Noey's butt is expensive and I mean that literally! I so wish the doctor had given the all-clear for cow's milk but I will have to endure 2 more months of formula purchasing. Our stock pile is just running out and now we are back to the scramble of keeping up with what she drinks (more like wastes!).
Mean momma finally let the baby sit in the cart. Normally she rides in her stroller or in her baby seat inside the cart. I forgot the cart cover so I wiped a cart down (twice) that had been sitting in the sun getting cleaned by the UV rays. She is such a big girl!!
We also went to the Border's clearance. We didn't find much but got Noelle a toy called Jumbles. Her daddy is enjoying them. I'm sure she will someday too! She does like to suck on them and carry them around in her mouth like she does everything lately!
I almost splurged and bought her "Royal" paper dolls. She could dress Wills and Kate up everyday!! I actually dreamed I was Kate's best friend the other night and was on the phone with her so upset that I was stuck out in the country picking something up for her that I was missing the wedding! Gasp! Clearly, I've been following them a little too much on the interwebs to be having such dreams.
I'll give you one guess as to who made this mess and it's not Three Amigos pictured.
Noelle loves Smurfs. We have purchased a couple of Happy Meals and she carries a Smurf in each fist most of the day. Last night we found "Gutsy" Smurf. We prefer to call him William Wallace. Noey assures us he's tasty.

Summer is Almost Gone
Summer is slipping away and next week at this time it will be back to work. Noey has grown and changed so much this summer. Joan is going to have her hands full! Still no tooth yet. We are waiting and she is crabby. The smallest things set her off. I love the little gal and will miss her but I admit it'll be a nice change of pace to not have a baby hanging on me. She got mad at Dave last night and screamed "mama, mama, mama" and crawled fast to me. I was just trying to get something done while she wasn't all over me but she wasn't having it.
Here is some random Noey from the last week or so.
We went to the Outlets to get Noey matching boots and hat to go with her cow girl get-up. The boots were pricey and she would not cooperate about the hat. So she got a pair of clearnance fleece pants instead.
Her new thing is to blow bubbles with her dinner in her mouth. She is using the food as the "vessel" for the bubbles.
She has been using her stand-up toys more. She has taken a few steps with this too! She's cruising on the furniture and before we know it, she's going to be running around this place!
We bought her some foam letters for the tub but she has been carrying them around the house in her mouth. I think it feels good on her gums.

9 Month Check Up @ 10 Months
We are a little off track at the doctor's but it's ok. We can go later too for all her 12 month shots he said.
She is 18 lbs, 5 oz and 29 inches long. He came in and said, "tall and skinny...don't we all wish we were." Yep! He said not to compare her to other babies. She's not malnourished and her length makes her look slimmer than she is.
Noelle is on track with everything and doing well. She is babbling away and pulling herself up. She is getting to the point where she is trying to stand up in the middle of the room without anything to pull up on! She doesn't love chunky foods but is going to have to learn to like them and chew a little better with those gums. She would rather have purees all the time but they are messy. She still doesn't like juice or the sippy cup. She just shakes it and throws it across the room. She also does this with her bottle when she is done!! She is loving ice water and wants it straight from a cup like a big girl.
The doctor believes her teeth are finally ready to make their grand entrance and that is why she's been so upset lately and feverish. Let's hope after taking so long to debut that these suckers all come in fast!
She earned a sticker today for getting her toe pricked. She was scared of everyone and clung to me like a little monkey. Attachment is normal and we're hoping we don't have too many scenes in the early morning hours when we drop her off at the sitter in a few weeks!!
