This week we found Noah's new house! It was whirlwind week, we first saw the house on Thursday, had a bid in by Friday, and found out by Tuesday we were approved for it! It is just the beginning of the hectic move to come. Noah also started sleeping with "Monkey" a little stuffed animal blanket his Grammie gave him. Noah became quite good at holding the monkey, shoving it in his mouth, and sucking his thumb all at once. :) Finally, our friend Kat came to visit as well. 
This week so many big things happened! The Phillies won the World Series, it was Halloween, Election Day, and Noah learned how to grab small items. 
On Election Day Noah went with me to the polls. We didn't put on his Obama outfit until afterward though. We had been warned they didn't appreciate "campaigning" at the polls. As you can see from his onesie, we were pleased with the outcome of the election. 
In this picture Noah is grabbing a little plastic pretzel. It was the first time he had grabbed something and managed to keep a hold of it.
We visited Carrie's house and had Halloween with her extended family. The little pumpkin with Noah is Jude, her youngest and my Godson. 
You can see from the pictures we had a fun Halloween. Noah started the day by flirting with our friend Liz. 
These jammies have French writing on them and Tim and I hope they don't say "Who is this ugly baby?" :) Does any one know what "Les plus beaux bebes sont en milleraies" means?
Hooray the Phillies won! Tim was SOOO happy, so Noah had to celebrate too. Thanks to Grandpop for all the props and clothes! 
t chili pepper. We tried it on so we could send Grammie a picture of it right away. This week for the first time 
Noah ride in his stroller like a big boy. His back is strong enough he can sit up with a support now. He also started sucking his thumb this week. We weren't quite sure which thumb he would choose, both seemed to please him.
We went to breakfast with several of my friends from BSF, my weekly bible study. You can see everyone likes to hold Noah and he is a perfect charmer. We also visited Noah's first symphony concert this week. 
It was the Halloween Spooktacular Family Concert. We attended both performances. Noah sat in the audience for the first concert and was a great audience member! He loved watching the lights and managed to sleep during a lot of the music. He did wake up briefly to the first chords of the Main Title from Star Wars. 
The picture of the concert is from our little room at the concert hall. There is a special room used for announcements or video, that Noah and I get to sit in during concerts. Everyone calls it "Noah's room" now. 
It's so great we can attend concerts even though Noah is so little. The pictures with Tim are backstage where Noah was visiting Daddy at work. Finally, we ended the week with a high note. Judy came over and watched Noah for a few hours so Tim and I could go on a date. She was Noah's first babysitter!
