wow it's been a while!


So it's been since MAY, oh man alot has changed with Mr. Noah. He learns at least one word every day, he's been aquiring some of the SWEETEST dance moves ever witnessed! He feeds himself like a pro, has grown to over 36 and 1/2 inches, and has almost all of his teeth! the last two incisors will be in by the end of this week! Finally a full mouth of teeth, and no more whiney boy! (hopefully) Noah got shots this week, a month late cause he had a cold when we took him in at 18 months. Before we know it he'll be back for his two year visit! He is 19 and 1/2 months right now!
This week he has been working on his alphabet, he can say A,B,C,D,E,F (SOUNDS LIKE fffffffffffssh) I, J (SOUNDS LIKE "gay", L (JUST STICKS OUT HIS TONGUE AND MAKES NOISE) M,N,O,P,S (SOUNDS LIKE A SNAKE "esssssss"), T,V,Z (all sound like "D") So we're working on it.
Today he learned how to give a thumbs up! Some lady in the checkout line gave him one and he mimicked! He's really funny when he does it cause he gets a devilish grin on his face and sticks out his hand while SLOWLY bringing his fingers to a fist one at a time, till all that's left is his thumb.
A few weeks ago i was disciplining him for something (i cant remember what) and he took my face in his hands and squeezed my cheeks together and said "SHHHHHHHHHHH" really loud. it totally deflated me, i was useless after that, he and I both just started cracking up together.
Noah has also started trying to ride anyone that comes to our house. He'll say "bull-bull" and try to push you to the ground to make it easier for him to climb up you. a few have been sucked into it and allow him to hold on to their hair even, he's just so cute how can you resist? Poor Maggie (our dog) she hates it, cause he's alot bigger than her and will try to ride her all the time, she just lays down and looks at me to come save her, poor thing. then he'll use her as a pillow and hug her and kiss her, and she just lays there and whines instead of getting up and running from him. It's kinda funny.
In a few weeks we are going to give a big boy bed a try (we're just removing the bars off his bed) to see if he will listen and stay in bed when we tell him. that will make potty training alot easier if he already can sleep without rails. Potty training is going to come later probably in 3-6 months we'll give it a try, unless he still doesn't seem ready.
everyone is giving me crap about needing to cut his hair, but i dont want to. It's so cute long, and it makes him look him age and not 3 or 4 like most people think he is. (It's those Yingling genes) he has the most beautiful blonde hair, it got 3 shades of blonde in it, he looks like a little surfer boy. With his pale skin and blue eyes, I think it works.
I will try to be better about updating this for all of you who check it regularly (Sarah) :)
