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!
