9 Months

Our little big Noah is 9 months. He is still not sleeping through the night. He was doing better and even slept tell 5:00 one night. Jon and I both woke several time though. Then we have had two ear infections that have ruined his nightly sleep pattern. Isaiah had one every time he got a tooth.

Besides that he is all smiles most of the time. He still loves his Mommy, and wants to be held. He started saying MMM.. Next was Mum and now we are in to full blown Mama when he gets upset. He doesn't seem to need his bottle as much during the day, but still wants it during the night.
He is still our rolly-polly. The kid rolls everywhere. He also scoots on his bottom to get places. I was in
Isaiah room the other day, and when I went back to the living room he had made it all the way across the room on his bottom. Silly kid. Just this week he decided crawling may be in the future. He is finally getting up on his knees, but not crawling yet. Maybe by 10 months he will be crawling.

 Dr. Doyle also mentioned he is tall fella. 30 inches (100%) and 21 pounds (50%), which by the way is only 7 less pounds than Isaiah weight right now. We also got our first tooth this month. That little tooth kept Mom and Dad up for an entire night while it was coming through.

Loves bath time.

He loves to eat. He has started eating a lot of soft table foods. He loves the little puffs and will eat a hand full in just a few minutes. He doesn't seem to be that found of baby food anymore. He can pick up food pretty good and started using the end of his fingers instead of just scooping everything.

Christmas Time!!

Isaiah is fascinated with Christmas light this year. As soon as people started putting up lights we had to go look at them. Right after thanksgiving we headed to Rhema( which we love every year.) If you haven't been  they have really great lights you can walk through.

Then we sat with Santa at Bass Pro. Surprisingly Isaiah didn't scream and cry. He doesn't really prefer things in costumes, but Santa had candy. Noah made it all the way through the line then started crying right when we got to Santa.

And we had to put up our tree. Noah was trying to help with the decorations too.

Whew... This Christmas stuff if hard work.

And we went to see the lights in Johnstone park. Isaiah got to sit upfront while driving threw the lights. When we went threw the light tunnel, he started bending his head down, so we all had to bend our heads to down so lights wouldn't hit us inside the car. We were cracking up.

Noah 8 months

So far our little man is not crawling, has no teeth, and is not sleeping through the night. We love him anyway! He may not be crawling, but he rolls all over the place. As soon as he gets on his tummy he immediately rolls back over. He is not sleeping through the night and we have tried everything. Some nights we are lucky and he only wakes up once, but most of the time he still gets up a couple of times.

Noah is starting to grab toys from outside his lap. He sort of turns to the side; I thought that’s how he would crawl. So far he just ends up falling over. He also loves to touch your face. I think he is going to be our social one. He has started eating Cheerios and the baby puffs. He says MMM (for Mom), when he gets mad.  He loves to be outside with his Dad and brother. He lights up any time Isaiah comes around. They are best buds already. He hates being put in his car seat and has terrible temper. He does love to smile and is pretty much a happy guy if he is fed.

Little Dinos



Isaiah 3 and Noah 7 months.





We headed to FWC carnival. Isaiah got to play games and get lots of candy. Noah had good time being held.



Poor Isaiah had trouble touching the ground on this one, so finally one of the helpers pushed him to the finish line. Little Princess on the other side won, that's ok, we still got 3 pieces of candy. Isaiah had so much fun this year. Last year every corner we turned we saw a scary mask and almost had a melt every time we saw one. I was pleasantly surprised to see that there weren't that many scary costumes there!

Getting sleepy.

                                                      
                                      

Dedication

Noah was dedicated at First Wesleyan Church on September 30, 2012. We found this little suit in the summer( a 12 month suit) and didn't think it would fit. However our chunky monkey fit it just fine. We were so blessed to have both sides of Grandparents there. His Aunt Kristen, Uncle Chris, and Great Grandma Verbie.

Even Pastor Joe loves the babies!

3 years and 6 Months

Our Big Boy is 6 months. He loves to smile and laugh. When he isn't eating he is a pretty happy baby. He finally decided he wanted to roll over. Of course when he gets on his tummy he still hates it and screams. Noah is starting to push with his feet a little, but I expect this little guy does things on his own time. He is also starting to sit up by himself for a short time. He still not stable enough for us to leave him yet. He has started baby food.  So far we haven't found a baby food he doesn't like. Whew I thought this kid was going to picky. He still doesn't sleep through the night. I have read and gotten advice on sleeping through the night. I just don't think anything works with this child. Noah is 28.5 inches(95%) and 18 pounds( 50%).

He does love is his brother though. When Isaiah comes around Noah always has big grin on his face. He is just itching to go play with him. Isaiah is constantly asking , can Noah play toys, can Noah play with me.

 Isaiah is also very much 3 now. He has more of attitude and has had more discipline then his entire year of being 2. He cracks us up though. He trying to understand Jesus and all the Bible stories we are teaching him. We starting with Jesus made the sun , moon, and stars. So we are outside and he says. "Jesus is in the sun, he made it right now."  He still loves being outside, playing with dirt, trucks and cars. He often says his favorite color is red, but sometimes that changes daily. He is not found of coloring anything. He wants to color perfectly in the lines and it makes him mad when he cant, so he gives up, but loves gluing and crafts. He loves learning. He knows that his names starts with I and refuses to accept that he has a last name, because he does not start with R, he starts with I. Isaiah loves music and to sing. He always makes up songs to what he his playing or doing. He is also going to be Jon's hunting buddy. Jon went hunting with a friend and every bird we saw " Daddy shot that bird." He really didn't find it disgusting to help dad with the bird after they came home( Mom can not handle this, I wont even allow it in my kitchen.)

Isaiah's 3

We started his Birthday week making cupcakes. He loves to help with the sprinklers. Isaiah requested chocolate with blue icing and sprinklers.

 Then Isaiah got to go to the Big pool with his buddy Bradley.

 Playing in bucket at home with water is much more fun.

 And his Birthday party. He loved opening present this year.

 He got to have a water party and all his buddies got to go swimming with him.

 Ending with lots of popsickle all over us.

Thanks to all his family and friends for celebrating with us.

Isaiah Favorites

He loves playing outside, going to the park, and being with his Daddy. His favorite shows are Diago, Dorea, Barney, and he actually likes kid documentaries on planes, monster trucks, and cars. He loves to sing and make up songs about anything. His newest creations is "EIEIO and on the Farm theres a helicopter." He loves loves to help stir in the kitchen and eat sweets. I think 3 will be an adventure. We already have lots more fits and attitude but he sure makes us laugh!
