Noah got fitted for his first ever pair of proper shoes yesterday, a momentous moment in the house of the Muse. He is now a proud wearer of some particularly snazzy Bobo Elephant cruising shoes in an impressive [size] 5G. This need for shoes stemmed from a visit to the Physio department in his school to assess his need for any orthopedic shoes given that he is now officially a crawler and well and truly on the move and up on his feet! The good news was that his upright stance is perfectly 'normal', his heels are properly aligned as he hauls himself up and so he got to have a visit to Clarks yesterday morning to get fitted and kitted out. Despite some initial wriggly toes with the tickly measuring tape, he performed perfectly and took to his new shoes like a duck to water proudly showing them off to all and sundry in Dundrum shopping centre, he likes the limelight it would appear....
After months and months of daily physio, Noah finally got to his feet via the sofa and the coffee table. With the aid of some Happy Straps, he then proceeded to bullet around the house on all fours. Give him a rabbit to chase, ideally a camera strap or his slinky, and he is off. I managed to capture him on one of his ventures so check him out below...
What more incentive could a young man need to crawl than a kiss from his beautiful Mummy...
Beyond his crawling and cruising, Noah is now also starting to put some words and Lámh signs together. Wordswise he can muster "up", "down", "more", "nice" and "again" and signswise he has started the motions of "fall down" and "finish", these are skills he will continue to work on every day and it is truly amazing how much he seems to absorb. Most impressively lately has been his adoption of his own name, check out the below for an example....
The other exciting piece of news from these shores is that Noah is set to be a big brother in the next 5 weeks, his little chum is due to arrive on 24th October so keep an eye out for the updates, as they say in Noah's favourite programme.....isn't that a pip!
Way to go Noah!! He really is flying in every way you must all be so proud.
ReplyDeleteThat is simply brilliant! Such progress!
ReplyDelete... The down side is that all the doors and all the presses will soon need to be locked, if they are not already!... Wishing Mammy and Daddy Muse lots of fun running around after him ;-)
