Noah




Noah is growing bigger by the minute. He turns 2 exactly 2 weeks from today and I cannot believe how grown up he is getting. He came up to me the other day and said, "Iwangopoddy" out of the blue...so I went and pulled out his potty, sat him down on it, he sat for a minute, got up sat down on the floor and went potty on the floor. Not exactly going potty like he is supposed to...lol...but he is getting there. He is starting to talk a ton more, he learns knew words almost everyday and his favorite words this week are computer and guitar. He can also now show you where his eyes, hair, ears, mouth, teeth, nose, belly, and toes are. And when prompted he will show you his elbow. He is still very cuddly and loves to spend time sitting with grandma and his blanket and his cup every night. He loves reading books and coloring, running, jumping, and climbing...basically just being a boy and getting into everything.

Trip to Utah




After Christmas we all drove up to Utah to see Kari, Mike, Bailey, and Avery, and to go to my Dad's wedding. It was the first time we got to meet Avery, and she is so stinkin' cute!! She has adorable chubby cheeks and loves to coo and giggle. Bailey is getting bigger everyday, she is so grown up and blows you away by how well she speaks. She and Noah had fun playing together...and got along most of the time. :) We got to go see the lights in temple square which were beautiful, and spend time with family that we haven't gotten to see in a while. It was a lot of fun, but we are glad to be home, and back into the regular routine.

Christmas




Christmas this year was a blast. Santa brought Noah lots of presents including a Spiderman 4-wheeler and a Hot Wheels Trike. Guess he must have been a really good boy this year! :) He got to spend Christmas Eve and early Christmas morning with his dad, then he got to have Christmas at Grandpa's house, then more Christmas back home with Grandma. Needless to say he got too many toys, and mom had to go out and buy him a new shelf to put the toys that were overflowing out of his toybox. His favorite new toys are his computer, his gun from Mike, his 4-Wheeler (that drives everyone crazy with the noise) and the trike...the last two are going to have to be outdoor toys once it gets a little warmer out.
