What’s Up With Noah

We sure are busy with Grace, but having a lot of fun with Noah as well! He keeps us on our toes and our days busy and full of chatter.

Over the past two weeks Noah has had a word “explosion.” He probably says 30 or more words on a regular basis and he attempts to repeat much of what we say. Our favorite word… battery. So funny to hear his little voice say “battery,” which he learned when Dave needed to replace a battery in one of his toys.

He continues to be very active and loves to play outside, run down hills and go for rides on the back of Dave’s bike. He happily rides along in the “big boy seat” in the stroller, all while pointing out big trucks, trucks, buses and cars in our neighborhood. He has developed quite an affinity for frisbee. Too bad they have organized soccer leagues for 2-year-olds but no frisbee leagues! He has several “frisbees”, his favorite being an oatmeal container top, which surprisingly soars pretty well. A few coffee container tops and an actual frisbee round out his set. We enjoy lots of playtime outside with the neighborhood kids and the growing collection of shared ride-on toys, especially with the longer spring days.

During a recent busy morning I put a Thomas the Train video on my iPad for him to watch. What I hoped would be a quick and easy distraction for him, has opened up a whole new world of “choo-choos” on the “ipa-pa” (iPad). Dave and I are now learning all about the choo-choo’s as well.

Noah is such a fun and silly little boy. I can’t believe he is almost two!

We were a little unsure how he would handle the low seat. He loves it. Phew!
