20 Months!!

Noah is getting really close to 2 and he is a child of extremes. He can be the most loving and huggable little guy and in the same minute throw the biggest fit. They don't usually last that long. He does have a slight little temper though. His lovable side comes out when he feels the need to check in every 5 minutes and make sure you are still around. He comes up to us and buries his head in between our legs and after a little hug he is off playing again.

Noah is our very active boy. He is most content outside. If there something to climb into, he is in it and if there is something to climb on, he is on it. Jon recently asked when we were moving this little guy to a big boy bed, I said never. We are surprised he has not climbed out of his baby bed yet. He hated his bed at first, but now he seems content most nights being in there. Once it is morning though, he is ready to go. He let's us know it too with his scream for freedom. He is also has a very sweet spirit. He loves to help in his tiny little way. He will gladly unload the dishwasher for me. It usually consist of Mom grabbing all the breakables and knives as fast as I can. He also loves the laundry. It ends up on the floor fifty percent of the time, but he will drag it out of the dyer and help fold (throw it)!

 He is also our kid that does not stay clean. He does look like the above pic, most of the time. I often say, why do we even dress this kid. He is a big eater if he can stab or scoop the food with a fork. If not it ends up on the floor. He gets in trouble several times at the table from Dad for throwing his food and sometimes by Mom. He is also in a stage of biting. He has bit his friends many times and we had to get really strict about this biting habit. I read this can be a form of over excited behavior. I hoping that is the case. No one wants their baby to be a biter. He loves to bite when wrestling with Dad and bub. I hope this sweet- aggressive little boy calms down when he turns 2. 

 Noah favorites: loves to read, balls, watermelon, milk, his bub, and he is a mamma's boy. He is all boy. Isaiah at this age gravitated towards his dad. He still needed mom for those injuries, but wanted to hunt and play with dad. Noah on the other hand likes being with dad, but loves being with mama. I am OK with that.
