It Goes By So Fast...
He's already two. And there's so much we love about him...
Noah is playful. He loves to be tickled (he lies on the floor saying "teek" until you show up, or just tries to do it himself!) and he giggles often. His "grinnies" are the best: part nose scrunch, part smile!
He is all boy: he loves his trucks, tractors & Thomas and absolutely adores his Daddy.
Noah is social. When at the zoo, he is far more interested in watching other kids than viewing animals. And the whole point of visiting the grocery store isn't to get food; it's too make new friends.
This kid is systematic about everything. When encountering something new, he takes his time to figure it out - but once he feels good about it, he's all in.
Noah is particular! He wants things a certain way & will let you know about it when they're not. (When he's ready to nap, you can't do anything to stop him. He lines up his trucks & likes things to be clean & orderly. And he can't stand to have sticky hands, just like his Daddy when he was little!)
He is very independent. He goes forever playing on his own & always wants to walk by himself. (But he's more than willing to cuddle when there's suspense in a movie - like when Sir Handel the train gets stuck under an avalanche!)
Noah loves books. He sits & reads on his own almost every day & he gives us directions to the library if we're anywhere close. He also loves music - he'll sing & dance, swaying back & forth...
We love watching him run - he is FAST! Our friends call him "Zoom." He is always on the go, and we are always running to catch up.
We adore so much about him: his toddler belly, his ghetto booty, his sweet little voice & indecipherable chatter...and how every day he becomes a more complex, more amazing little man.
Happy Second Birthday, Noah David!
Choo Choo...Noah is TWO!
Noah turned 2 on July 26, so we celebrated Thomas the Tank Engine style with our family & friends in Twin Falls.
Weeks ago, Dave scored a whole bunch of great Thomas stuff at a garage sale. He set it all up while Noah was sleeping, so he would come downstairs to his amazing gift!
All ready, waiting for the birthday boy...

First Haircut
On June 20, just in time for his third round as a ring bearer,
Noah got his first haircut.
My hairdresser Erin was absolutely amazing, and Noah did pretty well. He cried at first, but Dave's pocketful of Starbursts did the trick (note the chipmunk cheeks in several pictures!) I kept his little ducktail-curl.Noah got his first haircut.
No more baby - this kid is a little man now!
