Twitter: Noah month 11 (May 11 - June 12 2010)

May 23: I am now very interested in signing, especially food and milk though I have expanded my vocab to include car and bath.

May 23: I also am becoming much more sociable and try to kiss the babies I meet at the playground. Some like it, some don't.

May 23: I took my first wobbly steps, well two mini steps in a row. Is this the beginning of a new phase or just a fluke?

May 23: I also understand a few spoken words. When my parents say milk/lait I make my milk sign. When they say: say hello/dis bonjour I wave hello.

May 23: This week definitely seems to be an exciting week. Lots of new things going on.

May 26: I came home from the creche and everything had changed. My bed was gone, my parents' bed was gone. Even my favorite bookshelf was gone????

May 26: My parents told me that our furniture was on a great big adventure. It was traveling by truck and then by boat to a tropical paradise.

May 26:  Lucky me - I get to sleep in my aubergine colored pop-up travel cot with my trusty doudou and mam's T-shirt.

[My bed - though I hear I will see it again in two months!]

[My mother's day gift to Maman - see how big my foot is?]

Luckily the movers did not take my favorite books.

May 29: May 27th was a big day. I saw many friends and got to go to Dada's office again for some yummy barbecue (mmmmm grilled eggplant).

First, I got to play with Linus (almost 4mos). We had a great time together and I am going to miss him.

Then I got double the fun with the twins - Zoe and Romeo.

Feeding time... 

Yesterday was my last day at the creche.

[My food log from the creche... by now, I have tried so many good things - yum. 

But there is still so much more to try - I can't wait.]

Bye Bye Boironettes.

May 29: My big adventure starts today. I am off to the US to see my grandparents, great-grandpa and aunts and uncles.

May 30: I made it to the US and was a good boy on the plane (except during pre-nap time - I hate naps). Hello grandma & grandpa and Marnie the dog.

Before the flight to DC I got to play for a while at the Geneva airport!

What a great playspace they have!

[In DC I got to eat some yummy food. (May 31)]

Today I went out to the barn and got to meet my grandma's horse Phoebe! Wheeee!

After a short chat with Phoebe we gave her a nice bath! 

While on a nice walk, we stopped at a park in DC 

for a little swinging with my Dad...

I also fed maman some imaginary cheerios.

We went to the monkey house where I got to watch a baby monkey and its mom play peek-a-boo together!

Then the maman monkey came over so I could pet her!

June 10: I am 11 months old today. Time really flies when you are having fun! More info on life of Noah as an 11 month old.

June 11: I went to see my 1st movie at the theater: Babies. I spent the first part snacking, then I cooed at the babies and then I walked around.

June 11: In the morning I give mam hugs and kisses and act all adorable and then make my milk sign. Maybe if I am super cute she will feed me early.

A bit to eat and some practice walking with my friend Amy.
