I wanna be like Noah...

Julia takes after her big brother Noah - if you know him you'll know what I mean!

Julia's first feed

I think the video speaks for itself!

Noah's new toy!

Poppa bought Noah a plasma car, and Noah has found some creative ways to use it.
Thank goodness for a sloped driveway (the ONLY positive).

I like to move it!

It's been an embarrassingly long time since we've posted, but I like to tell myself it is because I am too busy DOING all of the great things with Noah that I don't have time to write about them! Here is a video of Noah "rockin' out" to his favourite song.

Pope Noah

Noah loves to pray - I mean really LOVES to pray. Today at lunch he made us sing "Thank you God" about 4 times before I switched to "Johnny Appleseed." Well, that did it - we then had to sing that another 6 or so times. Each time we make the sign of the cross, and he double checks to make sure he is doing "holy" correctly.

The other night he was feverish and unsettled, so I went into his room to lay down with him. He looked at me and said, "Mom, you want to pray?"

Hopefully we can ride to heaven on his coat tails.

Resident Cheerleader

Daddy: Noah, can you say hippopotamus?
Noah: YOU say hippotomas
Daddy: Hippopotamus
Noah: THERE YOU GO!

Noah is forever praising people for their good work - whether it's his buddy Luke who decided to help clean up, or his girlfriend Hannah for using the potty, he's very generous in doling out the praise.

GOOD JOB!

Big Brother in Training

Don't get any wrong ideas - Noah's not ready to be a big brother just yet! But after meeting his friend Jackson's new baby brother, he decided he might need some practice.








Wrong end Noah!










I think I've got it!






This is harder than I thought!







It took a while to explain to Noah that only MOMMIES do the breastfeeding!

History in the making....

Daddy bought a pair of hockey skates - hoping Noah will rise to hockey stardom and take care of us in our old age!

Santa's visit

What do you mean he ate my cookies??

Noah at play...

Noah enjoys a wide variety of activities


He loves to play with train sets - mechanical or wooden;























He is also very crafty, which he clearly did not inherit from his mommy.





















and he LOVES music, especially drumming. He enjoys marching around the house playing his drum and passing out candy canes - something he picked up from watching the Santa Claus Parade!

Catching up..

I have been embarrassingly slack in completing Noah's blog. When I looked back on it tonight, I noticed that there are not even any CHRISTMAS pictures! I am going to console myself by saying I have been too busy making memories to record them - yeah, that's it.

Noah is growing more and more fascinating with every passing day. I can't even articulate how much I enjoy being around him. To me, he just has the best personality of anyone I know.

Right now, he is enjoying a sleepover at Nana and Papa's house, and here I am writing about how much I love my boy. I could be out at a movie, at a bar, celebrating my childless evening, but no, I'm pining away for my boy.

This is love...
