Happy Birthday, Noah!

On Friday Noah celebrated his second birthday. It's amazing how quickly these past two years have gone by. Although Noah was an extremely easy infant, he is entering his toddler years as a bit of a terror. He has a wicked temper and is not adverse to throwing multiple temper tantrums a day when he doesn't get what he wants. No one can take anything away from him because he's extremely tough and will fight for what he wants...literally. We're doing our best to teach him not to throw punches. Despite his Irish temper he is a fun little boy. He is very social, giving smiles freely to all. He loves to play, especially any sport that has a ball. I'm always telling David that Noah is going to be his ballplayer. He loves to play toys and has joined Xander in the Star Wars and Pirates fan clubs. Noah has been known to carry around a sword or two just like his big brother. He loves to sing and dance and wants to do anything Savannah and Xander are doing. He said his first sentence the day before his birthday: "I want gum." Noah loves gum and I have found him several times with a whole pack of gum in his mouth that he stole out of my purse. Yes, we have been very blessed to have our little Noah as a part of our family.

Noah was very excited to wake up Friday and find his birthday balloons.

We stopped at Target to get him his very own Count Dooku Star Wars figurine; he and Xander have fought way too many times over this particular character so I figured it would make a great birthday present. Noah kept shouting, "Dooku! Dooku!"

Noah picked out Spider man plates for his birthday party and, as you can probably tell, he was quite possessive about them.

He enjoyed opening his presents, especially his train ones. He LOVES choo-choos!

Here is Noah blowing out his candles...only problem for him was that they were trick candles. All the kids got a kick out of that.



Happy Birthday, sweet little Noah!
