The new baby: December 2008 Archives

Just a few hours before the 1-year anniversary of Mr. Noah's appearance in the world, he dazzled us by taking his first real steps.

I shrieked like a Banshee. "Damon! Damon! Noah just walked! He really did it! GET DOWN HERE!"

(I'd like to take this moment to remind you that the ceiling in most of my first floor is ripped out -- it's an old house and a long story -- so there's never any real need to yell to get the attention of a person on the second floor.)

Noah's got some words now to identify some of the people and things around him:

Dada: Daddy
Momomomomomomom: Me
Bubba: Jack, our cat (his nickname is Bubba. I don't know why.)
Di-dee: Sammy (we call her Sissy a lot, thinking it would be easier for him to say first)
