Other than starting to move, Noah has expanded his vocabulary to including "more", "bubu" (bubby) and "bye bye". I claim temporary insanity for teaching him to say and sign "more" because he learned to abuse it day 1. He pretty much only knows how to apply it towards food and forever wants more. Next on my list is "all done", so we'll see how fast he picks that up (hopefully very soon). Another adorable trick he learned is to clap his hands when he hears "good job!". He is clearly constantly proud of his accomplishments.
Bubby and Nibby are his preferred company these days, so he loves to say "bubu" whenever bubby walks in the room (Nibby is just too hard to say I think). Bubby is becoming more and more attached to Noah, and it is completely related to the fact that at every meal Noah "shares" about half his food with bubby. This is unfortunate because the vet just told us bubby needs to drop some lbs...maybe next year? After the holidays?
Noah has continued his travels. I calculated that over 12 weeks we'll be in Atlanta for 2 weekends and he'll have taken about 24 flights by the time he is a year. At the end of September, we went back to Chapel Hill for Anna and Kim's wedding. My parents had the pleasure of more babysitting and Ben and I had a great time at all the wedding festivities. We then spent a weekend in Highlands, NC with Kelly and Stark that involved a day and a half of fly fishing school for the boys. Kelly, Noah and I took it easy and spent Saturday in the cute downtown having lunch (with wine of course) and then went to a happy hour. Noah was very well behaved at both and easily entertained by eating, people watching and the music during happy hour.
