Happy Birthday Noah Joseph

Oh my sweet little crazy rambunctious little Noah. What is there to say about him other than I love him so so so much. When I found out we were having a boy, I really had no idea what I was in for, but when this 9lb little guy entered my world he did so all boy! From loving all things motor operated - cars, motorcycles, trains - to loving dirt, bugs and worms, he has amazed me also with how sweet and caring he is. He is the first to come hug me if I'm feeling upset, and the first to try to make me smile - even if it's by showing me something gross. Before Noah was born I remember wondering if I could handle two kids. I don't know how well I really handle it but I know I am so grateful for the blessing to have had Noah join our family.Noah at two years old:

-Talks ALOT - we are amazed at how well he speaks and has done so for a while. He is very expressive with this ability. His favorite phrase: "Dat is disusting" (translation: that is disgusting)

-Loves to look at himself in the mirror. He doesn't do it to look at how handsome he is, he likes to make all sorts of mean, angry, silly faces. I could watch this for hours

-Loves to sit on my lap and drink sippy cups of milk and then just cuddle with me

- Loves "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" and "Cars." He would watch these two movies all day everyday if I would let him

- Loves Chloe. They are such good little buddies. He is always so willing to do what she wants, as long as sometimes that includes running in circles around and around the couch or sword fighting with whatever is available

- Loves yogurt, apples, and candy of every kind.

- Wants to sleep with a toy every night. The problem comes when he wakes up at 6:00 and won't go back to sleep because he has his toy right there.

- Is the cutest two year old boy I have ever seen (partial, maybe, but he is adorable)

While I wish I could freeze you here forever in some ways, I also can't wait to watch as you continue to grow! Happy Birthday my little bud!
