Noah Moments

Who's the Doc?
Sunday night, Noah suddenly spiked a fever. Monday, I noticed his mouth was hurting (not eating, spitting, crying and touching it), so Dr. Daddy checked it out when he got home (and found a few canker sores). Noah thought Daddy's exam was pretty hilarious, so he walked around afterward with the flashlight to his mouth, saying "Ahh!"

ALL of it, please
Noah has recently figured out that it's much more fun to hold the whole muffin or banana or pita and select your own bites than it is to be given dime-sized portions. The results are so cute - and messy. Mommy is very thankful she got a dustbuster for her birthday.

A Squirmy Carry-on
While I was packing for the cruise, I think Noah was trying to send me a message...

"NO!"
Every day when Noah wakes from his nap, I take him over to the window to examine the state of affairs (trucks in driveways, dogs on the loose, possibly even boys playing). Yesterday, he started playing with the window blinds, giggling all the while. I said, "That's fun, isn't it?" and he said, "NO!" with a huge smile on his face. He clearly doesn't understand the abstract meaning of the word, but he now realizes that it can be very fun to say with emphasis.

Future...Janitor?
Noah took his cool new toy--a leaf blower--to Aldi with us yesterday. He got that floor spick-and-span (Do you see any leaves?) while Mommy cleaned up on cheap food.

Introducing Mr. "T"
I think Noah has a new best friend. Despite his Noah-given name, he doesn't wear his weight in gold necklaces, he's bouncy, and I'm pretty sure he puts up with more abuse than any member of the A-Team would have allowed...
