Quotes from Noah

Noah walked into the kitchen the other day while I was doing dishes. I said, "Hey Noah, how ya doing?" Noah said, "doing well."

I was praising Noah the other day for going pee on the potty all on his own (without me asking him if he had to go.) I helped him get his underwear and shorts back on and he said matter-of-factly, "It's so nice to be dry."

We went to a birthday party for one of our friends the other night but we left a little early because Noah started throwing tantrums. The next morning he wouldn't stop talking about the party and he said, "We had cake and ice cream, and I was MAD!"

Noah likes to play "I Spy" in the car but he doesn't always let you play with him. If you say what you see he gets really mad and says, "No, you don't spy that!"

When Alex cries Noah starts running through the house to help her, the whole time yelling, "Hang in there baby girl, I'm coming!"

On Labor Day we went to the Cleveland Air Show--Noah is obsessed with airplanes. This pic is of the Navy Blue Angels. We also saw stunt planes, a B2 bomber, F22's, and a bunch of other stuff. Posted by Picasa

Noah and his buddy Drew


Alex is a big girl...



She can sit up and eat rice cereal!

Mommy and Alex at the pool


Alex is a water baby - she tries to jump out of my arms and dive in head first! Noah wouldn't cooperate for the picture but he loves the pool too. He always says, "look at me mommy, I'm swimming like a seal!" and then he thrashes around in the water.

Noah potty training


We've been potty-training Noah this week. He was mad on the first day, because he thought we were going to get onto a "potty train". Note that he has already learned the fine art of reading while relieving himself.
