Things to Remember

My Noah,

I haven't written in so long and so much has happened! You got your first official haircut, and let me tell you, that's a letter in and of itself (you screamed "help pease" over and over : ( But you sure do look handsome now!

Cousin Caden, Aunt Jessie, and Gramma Marcia came to stay with you for a weekend. You and Caden got your pictures taken together...what a brave thing for Jess and Gramma to do!

You went to stay at Gramma and Papa's house again (for 4 whole days)! You had so much fun playing with cousin Carter and cousin Reese.

You are repeating EVERYTHING these days and talking so much. You have about 85 words that you say consistently! You've started singing along to your Music Together CD and are copying some words in the songs. You love the guitar...oh how I wish I could play! Daddy has taught you how to hit the ball off the tee with the bat...you are a bit wild with it, but can sure hit the ball far! You've gotten pretty good at going up and down the stairs with minimal help....you can crawl up no problem, coming down is nerve wracking for me, but you can manage by holding onto the banisters. Everytime you look at my tummy and see the baby growing, you put your finger to your mouth and say "shhhh". I hope you're that quiet when he's here and really sleeping!

We have had some good playdates with Isabelle, Bubba, Ben, and Stella. You like to eat lunch with them at the big table. You're the only one who ever finishes everything on your plate...surprise, surprise! You also like to cook with mommy. You are really getting good at making and eating muffins!

You LOVE your stuffed animals..almost too much...sometimes you don't want to leave them in your crib or the car and your arms get too full! You also LOVE real animals...once again, sometimes too much...you want to kiss and tightly hug all of them!

I want to kiss and tightly hug you all the time...and so far, you like it and reciprocate....please don't ever stop!

Love you,

Mamma
