N-O-H!

Noah can spell his name!
In preparation for starting preschool in the fall, Noah has been practicing spelling his name! Although he is convinced that his name is spelled N-O-H, he did line up all four magnetic letters of his name today!

Saturday Fun



Everyone has pretty much recovered from their colds and we have had a great weekend- and it is only Saturday night.
Friday we went out for pizza with Daddy John and Noushin. They came back to our place afterwards and Noah had a blast racing Noushin around the house. He loves to yell "Ready, Set, GO!"
This morning we went over to Brad and Heather's house to check out the progress on their new kitchen before they left town to go to the Masters. They have been in the middle of a complete kitchen remodel for the last 2 weeks and are finally in the home stretch. It looks fantastic!
After eating breakfast with Brad and Heather, we went to the park to burn off some energy. As usual, Noah just wanted us to push him in the swings the entire time. He never gets sick of swinging!
Nathan, Nicole and Jackson came over this evening and we cooked out while Noah and Jackson "played" together as well as two 2 year olds can play together. Mostly they just pushed each other around and took toys from one another. Nonetheless it was a fun evening and the weather was beautiful!

Restful Weekend


Sitting Up
Originally uploaded by beebe4
All of the boys in the house are battling a cold so we spent the weekend at home. It started with Noah, then spread to Dad and now Jude has a cough! Hopefully Mom will get lucky and not catch it!
After a few nights of letting Jude cry it out, he finally slept through the night last night from 8 until 4:30. We'll just have to wait and see if he keeps it up. He can almost sit up on his own now, although he tends to fall over if distracted by anything. He picked his stomach up off the ground for the first time last week, so maybe crawling isn't too far off in the future!

Family Update End of March

Noah has been able to count to 10 for a while, so I thought I would teach him to count from 11 to 20 exponentially... he truly is a smart kid.
