Our Crazy Little Noah

It's hard for me to believe that my little Noah is quickly approaching 18 months. He's a typical toddler, moving fast and into everything. He's a sweet little guy, quick to give anyone a smile. He loves to go upstairs and play in his room by himself, his favorite toys being pirate guys and cars. He can be very loud and one of his favorite things to shout is "Mama! Mama!" I get tired of that very quickly.
He loves to scrounge in the trash can for food...yes, we do feed him but evidently it's not enough. Here he is trying to enjoy some of David's coke. Too bad for him...the can was empty. Come on, people. Do you really think we'd give our kid a coke to drink?

One thing he does love to drink is milk. The other morning we had sippee problems and when Noah went to take a drink, milk started leaking all over the floor. Noah just lost it. As he started bawling, he leaned over and started patting the milk on the floor. Talk about crying over spilt milk.

Noah is definitely a climber and one of his favorite spots is the bathroom sink.

Noah loves to bug his older brother and sister by getting into their stuff. Here is a picture of Noah after he found Savannah's make-up. It's hard to get mad at him because he's just so dang cute.

He's also started taking some of Xander's costumes. The other morning he came to me holding Xander's Superman cape, wanting me to put it on him. Off we headed to the bus stop with him all decked out. Looks like we have another little Xander on our hands.

Noah is also a little ham, just like Xander. Last Thursday it was time to head to the bus stop to get Savannah...and I couldn't find Noah anywhere! I had thought that he was in his room but when I went in there and called his name, he was nowhere to be found. Xander and I searched the whole house and then went back up to his room. I finally checked under Xander's bed and there he was. When he saw me, a huge smile appeared on his face and he started laughing. He had hid on purpose and thought he was pretty funny.
Here he is, making me laugh with his game of peek-a-boo.


He loves to read...well, look at books...just like his siblings.

Last week Noah was supposed to be taking a nap. Instead he had somehow retrieved some markers from the top of his dresser and spent the 2 hours of his nap time playing with markers, biting off the tops of the markers, and coloring himself, his clothes, and his blankets.

Thank goodness we buy washable markers. Even so those fingers were stained for several days.

Noah is our little cutie and we sure do love him.
