Happy Easter! Noah is 8 mo old!

Happy Easter!  We spent a wonderful Easter in Birmingham.  We visited with all our family on both sides.  Joshua and Noah dyed some Easter eggs.  Then Joshua "found" eggs over and over again.  I used quotations because Joshua didn't really want to hunt for eggs.  They had to be in plain sight or he would say "I not see them.  I find them all."  Luckily his aunts didn't mind helping him out.  We went to Holy Thursday service with mommy's family and Easter service with all of daddy's family.  We enjoyed visiting with everyone and celebrating cousin Eli's birthday.  The Easter bunny brought Joshua an extra special treat - golf clubs (specifically left handed ones!) He's having a great time hitting the ball in the hole.  Oh and Joshua is feeling much better.  He got pneumonia the week before Easter but is now doing great!

For the last time, I am NOT an Easter Egg!
Noah is growing so quickly! Here are eight facts about him:
  • Noah is an active crawler! He army crawls all over the place. Once he started he never slowed down.
  • He now has 4 teeth. The top teeth are really large. I can't help but go "wow" everytime I see them.
  • And we do see you teeth alot because you are my smiley boy! You are so happy and have a sweet giggle.
  • You also have a temper. When mommy/daddy sets you down and you want to be held or if Joshua takes a toy away that you really wanted you start shrieking and crying. I'm talking about really loud wailing. It's pitiful!
  • You currently are allergic to strawberries. Mommy fed you some strawberry yogurt when you were sick last week and you broke out in a terrible rash and your skin started peeling. The good news is that the dr said you will likely grow out of it by age 2-3.
  • You are a poopasaurus! Seriously you have to have a change of clothes 5 of 7 days a week and it's not because the diapers don't fit, you just produce a large volume.
  • You say "mama." You babble a lot, especially in the car, but the only word you clearly say is mama, often with arms reaching up for me.
  • You no longer suck your thumb yet you still easily go to sleep. Mommy or daddy can get you nearly to sleep, lay you down, and usually you stay down. Also when you wake up, you usually start playing with the toys instead of screaming. This is a nice treat!

I'm going to claim that easy going to bed and waking up trait for Daddy's side of the family! :-) Matt and both siblings were very easy babies in that respect. One of the sweetest sounds in the world is hearing a happy baby awake but not demanding attention. But they are always so happy to see you when you do go in to get them. Give both sweet boys some love from Grandottie and JerryPop!
