Month 8...

By 8 Months Noah was sweeter and more active than ever. He was cruising faster and going for everything. We introduced NO at 6 months but let's just say "he is not a good listener" in his brother's words. He is developing quickly in his fine and gross motor skills. His speech is not advancing as we hope. We aren't sure if it's to blame on his cleft or if he will develop speech a little slower. He babbles a whole lot and makes lots of noises. Sometimes he sounds like he is saying a word but then its not. He continues to say MAMA and we are convinced he knows the meaning of it.

We shall keep reading, singing, and talking...can't wait till he surprises us with new words.
