Now its a cold, Noah has it and so do I. Ryan is fighting it, but good luck with that... Noah is on the mend all that's left is a residual cough for him. I am in the middle of it right now, but i feel surprisingly good, I am even working today.
Noah got a haircut a week or two ago and his hair is blonder every time we cut it! He looks so cute with his little teeth now, he has molars on all four corners of his mouth. The problem is he doesn't want to use them. Noah is a texture kid, like I was. Which means we are screwed, because I was so picky growing up. (my husband would say that i still am) I tried feeding Noah a piece of banana last week and he gagged SO hard, i thought he was going to puke for sure.
Noah is definitely speaking in full sentences now... it's just that he is the only one who can understand it~ it sounds like "a dat adow, gamoww, bockdee" and then he'll end with a nod and his eyes really wide, as if to say uh huh I am so big now. It's so cute, i almost don't want him to actually start talking. sometimes though you can tell what he is saying, it just sounds garbled, the way i do when i drink too much gin. The other day he was definitely saying "over there" while pointing stuff out to my aunt.
The next big milestone is potty training and switching to a big boy bed, but both are a few months off from trying, so we are just going to enjoy the mundane, little every day things that he says and does for now. It's happening too fast for me, I wish they were small for longer, now i know why people have multiple children.

Healthy now!
During Noah's first week of being sick with a viral infection in his throat, Ryan came down with it also. Both of them were running high fevers and were absolutely miserable, then Noah started to mend and got the stomach flu. I could tell that that's what it was, because he threw up in my face and down the entire front of me, then when i turned my head to avoid it, he let it rip in my hair and ear! After bathing him he ran away from me and pee'd on the carpet right next to the puke! Then the day that Ryan started to feel better from his sore throat HE got the stomach flu! I have literally been nursing the sick for two weeks but it's finally over!!!! AND i managed to avoid getting sick altogether! (i have good hand washing to thank for that, cause my immune system is weak sauce!)
This weekend could not come soon enough for us, my cousin Clare is getting married on Saturday, and Ryan is "officiating" the marriage. We have a hotel room and we are so excited to dance all night! we are even bringing a babysitter with us. I'm just excited to watch Reverend Ryan at work! By the way, he doesn't want to be called that.

new words and a viral infection!
Noah has grown over an inch since February! We measure him on my mom and dad's wall of fame (where my brothers and i were measured growing up) to chart his height. So the other day Ryan remeasured him and he is growing like a weed!
On Friday we took Noah to see his pediatrician, because he was acting weird all week, and we didn't want to wait only to end up taking him to the ER on sunday for an ear infection. And thats what we thought he had. With his teething, lately an ear infection was the likely problem, because that's what i got everytime i cut teeth as a child (my mom says). Turns out his throat has been bothering him all week not his ear! he had a viral infection making it painful to eat, so all he consumed this week was milk and a little baby food~ which explains the weight loss since his one year checkup in January. (he's hovering around 28-30 pounds on average).
The other night Ryan was reading with Noah on his lap and while pointing at a bird in his animal book, he said Birdie! he is so cute when he says it (bahdee!) Now adays Noah is walking around pointing at everything and asking "whats that?" (whaddat?) then he looks at you and just absorbs whatever you say! It's really cool to watch him and help him discover the world.
He also got a haircut last week i took the clippers to him (#7), it was a struggle towards the end because he was bored. So the base of his neck is still a little longer than the rest, because i constantly forget about it when i am around him. Like right now... I am at work so i cant do anything about it, and by the time i get home, i'll have forgotten!
