Day of Days

September 04, 2006

Labor Day 2006.

A big day. A huge day.

A momentous day.

The tire moved from the foyer to the bottom of the stairs, as Jason swears he will stick it "upstairs in the storage closet somewhere," sometime relatively soon.

And oh! Yes.

Noah took his first steps today.

That too.

Congratulations Noah! If this were our house, Noah would be going to his first dance before that tire left the living room.

One small step for Noah, one neverending headache for Amy and Jason.

Congrats!

Posted by: mothergoosemouse | September 04, 2006 at 05:01 PM

Go, Noah! Maybe you can just get Noah to take the tire upstairs now that he can walk.

Posted by: Tartine | September 04, 2006 at 05:02 PM

Yay Noah! Isn't it just so exciting? :)

Posted by: Ninotchka | September 04, 2006 at 05:03 PM

The tyre must have magical walking powers! Don't move it! Next he'll be running! *gulp* =D

*isaproudinterlurker*

Fweeee!

Go Noah go!

Posted by: Kate | September 04, 2006 at 05:13 PM

Is that a picture of Max or is that Actual Max on the wall there?

Walk on, Noah!

Posted by: Sarah | September 04, 2006 at 05:20 PM

Congratulations! What a cute photo!!!

Posted by: mappyb | September 04, 2006 at 05:27 PM

Wow, congratulations Noah! And Jason too, I guess

Posted by: Jem | September 04, 2006 at 05:33 PM

Way to go, Noah!

Posted by: Kyla | September 04, 2006 at 05:43 PM

Congratulations Noah! Amy, thank you for letting us be a part of your life.

Posted by: AnnieLSU | September 04, 2006 at 05:47 PM

Noah eyes the gate, thinking, "Walking's nice and all, but what really excites me is the idea of scaling those stairs *upright*."

Posted by: Vaguely Urban | September 04, 2006 at 05:54 PM

yea, Noah!!!!

Posted by: HolyMama! | September 04, 2006 at 05:55 PM

Congratulations and my deepest sympathies, on both accounts. ;)

Posted by: Teri M. | September 04, 2006 at 05:58 PM

OMFG!

Posted by: Sarah Louise | September 04, 2006 at 06:00 PM

That just may be my new favorite picture.

Posted by: Y from the internet | September 04, 2006 at 06:08 PM

Congrats! And congrats!!!

Posted by: Chase | September 04, 2006 at 06:14 PM

Congratulations Noah!
*hands a tissue to Amy*

Posted by: Sarah | September 04, 2006 at 06:23 PM

Congrats (i think) to Noah. MrZ swears Nikki took two steps toward him this weekend but they don't count because A) I didnt see them and B) He's a giant liar.

Posted by: Zoot | September 04, 2006 at 06:30 PM

Holy mobility, Batman! Noah looks like he's challenging the tire to a duel!

Posted by: michelle/weaker vessel | September 04, 2006 at 06:40 PM

He looks like a little body builder in that pic, like he's ready to hoist that tire plum over the railing.

Posted by: Broad | September 04, 2006 at 06:43 PM

Looks like the tire motivated him to walk. ;-)

Congrats, momma!

Posted by: Nancy | September 04, 2006 at 06:45 PM

Don't move that tire upstairs just yet -- Noah will probably follow it!

Posted by: dawn | September 04, 2006 at 06:54 PM

Congrats on the first steps..now..life is officially over..nothing is safe!

Posted by: Melody | September 04, 2006 at 07:06 PM

have fun with the new round of childproofing! wait until he can reach up onto the dining room table...

Posted by: lindsay | September 04, 2006 at 07:26 PM

Go, Noah, go! And it's not even your birthday yet!

Posted by: Wacky Mommy | September 04, 2006 at 07:31 PM

My tivo quivers in fear...

Posted by: Crystal | September 04, 2006 at 07:38 PM

Well, congratulations....on both :)

Posted by: MMM | September 04, 2006 at 07:44 PM

Uh-Oh! Someone said the B-word! Soon there will be running, and climbing, and getting into all sorts of things....Go Noah!

Posted by: Susan | September 04, 2006 at 08:01 PM

Baby's first steps? Those are so awesome. It's the 100th step that should make you *blubberweepsob* because by then he will be into everything not bolted to the floor, under lock and key, and also just plain messy.

Also, Tire? Probably evil and the reason for Noah's steps.

Posted by: Starbuck | September 04, 2006 at 08:06 PM

must research tire/child's first steps causation correlation.

love and congrats on both ; )

Posted by: shy me | September 04, 2006 at 08:14 PM

Yay Noah! Now he can reach all KINDS of things that were previously out of reach! And maybe he can roll the tire upstairs for y'all.

Posted by: Patchie | September 04, 2006 at 08:24 PM

Yay for Noah! But Oh. MY. GOD. DUDE. The wobbling, and bumping and THUMPING... I'm getting nauseous thinking about it!
Lots of luck!

Posted by: de | September 04, 2006 at 08:36 PM

How can he possibly be big enough to be walking? Just yesterday you shared that you were pregnant... And this means that Will is just a few months behind... UGH!!!

Posted by: earlyduckie | September 04, 2006 at 08:38 PM

Too exciting, all around! And of course, Noah being the overachiever that he is had to go and overshadow it being a holiday. I would expect anything less. Congrats and good luck!

Posted by: Jessie | September 04, 2006 at 08:39 PM

Congrats! Now all he needs is a stick, a page-boy cap and some nickers and he'll be OWNING that tire.
...did that visual work for anyone?

Posted by: Emily | September 04, 2006 at 08:59 PM

Congrats to Noah!

Posted by: jomama | September 04, 2006 at 09:19 PM

Right on! Since Noah's going to need some new walking shoes, that means you get to buy some, too.

Posted by: 123Valerie | September 04, 2006 at 09:23 PM

::Noah staring at tire:: This foyer's not big enough for the both of us, Michelin.

Congrats! :)

Posted by: Maxine Dangerous | September 04, 2006 at 09:29 PM

it looks like he's challenging The Tire to a duel.

Posted by: Sarcomical | September 04, 2006 at 09:49 PM

Do I see Broken Tivo on the stairs? Is Noah walking towards it in the hope of repairing it and winning back your full and unconditional love?

Posted by: NothingButBonfires | September 04, 2006 at 10:02 PM

Aww, congratulations to Noah!

Posted by: Elizabeth | September 04, 2006 at 10:24 PM

congratulations on the tire move!

kidding, kidding. give noah a cheek-pinch and a hearty "YOU ROCK!" for me, ok?

Posted by: sweetney | September 04, 2006 at 10:40 PM

Wow! Congrations! Condolences on leaving the innocence behind?
Wait, isn't this a spare tire? As in, one the car might need to have more close at hand than upstairs in the closet?

Posted by: shokufeh | September 04, 2006 at 10:56 PM

Congrats on the first step. Today was the day for milestones. My little guy pulled himself up for the first time.

Posted by: Audra | September 04, 2006 at 11:32 PM

Posted by: Emily | September 05, 2006 at 12:16 AM

awww way to go to your lil man!! yay!!! hugs.

Posted by: beth | September 05, 2006 at 12:31 AM

Who is that child standing all upright and shit and walking???

Posted by: Heather B. | September 05, 2006 at 12:44 AM

Go, Noah!

But really, would you one day explain why there is a cat painted on your wall?

Posted by: Phc | September 05, 2006 at 12:51 AM

It's all over for you now. Next week toddling and the next week running, and then you'll NEVER know where he is! (Hopefully still in the house.)


Posted by: Krisco | September 05, 2006 at 01:37 AM

lol even from the back Noah looks a wee bit surprised at his new, higher perspective. Red letter day indeed.

Posted by: Whimsy | September 05, 2006 at 06:43 AM

Aw! Look at him just standing there! Go Noah!

Posted by: erika | September 05, 2006 at 08:10 AM

Congrats! He is totally planning his next move.

Posted by: Fraulein N | September 05, 2006 at 08:43 AM

Those first steps are so cool. Wait until he's chasing you around the house, giggling all the way. :-)

Posted by: Tara | September 05, 2006 at 08:47 AM

WEEEEE! Yay Noah! I'm waiting for those first precious steps at my house, but not really TOO excited! Now, if I could just get her to stop YELLING... :)

Posted by: Katie Kat | September 05, 2006 at 09:53 AM

Not only will Noah follow the tire up the steps, he will then wedge himself inside it and roll back down. Trust me on this one.

Posted by: Bozoette Mary | September 05, 2006 at 10:18 AM

Yay! And even before he turned you-know-what on you-know-when!

Posted by: wordnerd | September 05, 2006 at 10:22 AM

He's walking! Congratulations to Noah. :)

Posted by: Arwen | September 05, 2006 at 10:57 AM

Oh my! I predict pictures are going to get even more interesting from this point forward.

Posted by: Linda | September 05, 2006 at 11:14 AM

Look at that little guy. He's got great posture and shoulders out to here. Adorable.

Posted by: marian | September 05, 2006 at 11:36 AM

Congratulations to the new walker and the daddy with big plans for the tire.

Posted by: CrankMama | September 05, 2006 at 11:40 AM

Yay, Noah!! Sorry, Amalah and Jason! They get so big so fast. And so much harder to catch...

Posted by: cate | September 05, 2006 at 12:31 PM

Congrats to you both! next he will be climbing everything possible, you have to be quick on your toes now he's mobile!
Good job Noah!

Posted by: Kirsten | September 05, 2006 at 12:49 PM

Dude!

Posted by: Silly Hily | September 05, 2006 at 01:20 PM

Awesome!

Also about the walking.

Cheers!

Posted by: Shiz | September 05, 2006 at 01:24 PM

Yikes! You're the proud mom of a TODDLER now! Congrats!!

Posted by: Lilly | September 05, 2006 at 01:58 PM

Oh my gosh! That is such a huge step! I cannot wait to see what happens next.


Oh, yeah, and cool Noah is walking now, too.

(You are in serious trouble, you know.)

Posted by: the reluctant ADDult | September 05, 2006 at 02:23 PM

It looks like Noah walked right out of his clothes! ;-)

Posted by: Brian | September 05, 2006 at 04:29 PM

Go Noah! So glad to be a witness to such an historic event!

You must be so proud xx

Posted by: starrynite | September 05, 2006 at 05:19 PM

you and jason should stop everything and just hump like bunny rabbits. you sound WAY more emotionally stable than when you were trying to get pregnant the first time; how could the disappointment, if it doesn't happen, even be comparable since you have NOAH now? but being an only child is lonely.

Posted by: anon | September 05, 2006 at 05:57 PM

Whoa, anon, way to squash the joy and happiness of the event.

There should be a law--or at least an Internet ordinance--that nobody shall comment on anybody's procreation choices in such a condescending and critical manner.

And I can testify that the "disappointment" of not conceiving the second, even if you already have a child, can be comparable--because there are people like YOU out there snarking on about how "being an only child is lonely."

Posted by: Patchie | September 05, 2006 at 06:49 PM

ROCK ON Noah!!

Posted by: Carrie | September 05, 2006 at 06:59 PM

Go Noah...it's (almost) your birthday...

Jason had better get that tire put away before Noah is old and strong enough to roll it down the street, LOL. By the look of his posture and shoulders that may be sooner rather than later!

Persephone wants me to ask if Noah likes slightly older women?

Posted by: DebbieS | September 05, 2006 at 08:43 PM

Go On With You Bad Self, Noah! Now he can do some chores around the house. Taking Ceiba out, changing the oil-- you know, the Big Boy stuff.

Posted by: Stepherz | September 05, 2006 at 09:52 PM

WTG, Noah!

Congrats on the 1st steps...

Posted by: Riana Lance - Healthifica.com | September 06, 2006 at 12:06 AM

That's funny!
Congrats on the walking

Posted by: Tony | September 06, 2006 at 02:03 AM

Go Noah!

Posted by: Jenny | September 06, 2006 at 08:24 AM

Thats awesome! Watch out world here comes Noah!

Posted by: CC | September 06, 2006 at 08:53 AM

High Five! On both counts!

Posted by: Her Bad Mother | September 06, 2006 at 09:38 AM

Dude, what's with that super-sweet cat on the wall? it's like you're living "Lady and the Tramp." Colour me jealous.
