Noah,

You are 18 months! 1 month away from meeting your big brother. So much has happened to you in half a year! You have had so many firsts it seems that you have changed every day. Every morning your dad and I look at each other and say "did Noah get bigger?"

Your food habits have changed. You still love the same things but have gotten a little pickier. It is weird that you like spicier foods or flavored foods. This has been a surprise.

Fun new adventures have come your way since you learned how to walk. So many new places and fun has been had. You rode your first ride and you loved it, so much that you went 3 times!
We were afraid that you would be scared to go alone so we had Alyssa ride with you the first time but you were not fettered by the speed, nope, you wanted MORE!
These new adventures have been so much fun! Your dad and I have loved trying to keep up.

We have tried to spend as much time with family because the more people there are to run around and catch you, the easier it gets.

Camping was a new adventure for all of us. It took so much out of me that we had to make a trip to the hospital because I had a little bit of a fainting spell. Good thing Auntie Sarah was there to catch me. It turned out that everything was ok and baby brother was fine. You had no idea. You just knew that you loved playing with your cousins or it didn't even matter if someone else was there you played in the dirt regardless.

The energy hasn't stopped so we are trying whatever we can to wear you out during the day. Even if it means a little bit of naked driving.

I don't think that I have ever laughed harder than the last months. Every day you are getting funnier. So funny that you say a few words to yourself and then you chuckle to yourself.

With your brother on the way we have been trying to relish every day with you before we give you a little less attention.

It seems like you are not a baby any more but a boy. My little tot is getting so big. It has been so scary for me to think that our family will be changing. Guilt has rushed through me because I feel like I will be giving you less love when your brother comes but I know that it won't be less love but I will have more love to give you and your new brother.
So I better gear up because it seems that you are ready to go... go... GO!

I love you my little guy.

Love, Mommy

33 and 6/7ths, Almost 34 weeks

The baby is sooooo active I feel like it runs inside my belly!

Another Boy!

I know this is belated but I finally unearthed my scanner and here is our 2nd baby boy!

Noah REALLY enjoys Taco Sunday

Here are 2 videos of Noah enjoying his meal yesterday...
Before things got too messy...

And then it got to a point of no return....

Sibling Rivalry

Today Noah is sitting on my lap leaning against my belly and the baby starts kicking him. Noah ignores it at first and then he realizes something is going on. He looks at my belly and starts shoving back on the baby. Then the baby kicks him then he pushes the baby. It was so funny, yet not so funny because it is the start of something...

24 and a half weeks
