We were blessed to spend New Year's Eve with some of my oldest friends and their families. We started this new "tradition" last year of an early dinner potluck and it was so much fun! This year at the gathering our little Noah took his very first steps! Two little steps toward my friend's 6-year-old son. How Noah loves that boy. I wish I could somehow produce a big brother for Noah, but since biology doesn't work that way, we'll have to make do with days like these. :)
Two days later, Noah just took off walking! Four steps, then more steps, then a whole afternoon wandering the house to the great applause of his grandparents and me. He also now says "ah-bah" for "grandpa" and "ba-ba" for daddy. Mama he gets right. His lack of words don't mean a lack of communication though, since he points enthusiastically at what he wants and signs "more." He also uses the potty a few times a day. His grandma thinks he can be potty trained and I say she's more than welcome to try. ;)
All and all, 2012 was a year full of great trials and greater blessings, and I look forward to what the new year brings!
