Catching Up with Noah

Hi, cyberfriends! So sorry it has been so long since my last post. I was sick for a week and it rained like crazy so there was not much to talk about. Mama has been suffering with her allergies for a few weeks now, too, and she just hasn't felt like blogging in the evenings for me after I go to bed. She promises to take more pictures and keep in touch more often.

So I thought I'd catch you up on all things Noah.

First, I finally learned to say "cheese" when you want to take my picture. Here I am showing you how well I do it.

I've also added a lot of new words and phrases to my vocabulary. Here are just a few highlights:

A few weeks ago, I was at Mimi and Pop-Pop's house and Mimi made me an egg for dinner. She accidentally burned it a bit and when she tried to feed it to me, I said, "I don't eat that." Mimi was shocked and we all laughed.

I've also learned to count to four! I can even count backwards from three to one. See, you CAN learn something from Yo Gabba Gabba!

I've also gotten really good at identifying animals and remembering their sounds all on my own. For example, Mama has jammies with cats on them and I love to point to all of them and say, "cat." And when we read my favorite books, I've learned parts by heart. For example, when the Very Hungry Caterpillar pops out of the egg, I say, "pop" even before Mama reads it. And I am loving songs and music so much! Mimi taught me how to sing "Twinkle, Twinkle." I will say the last words of each line all by myself. And I will ask you to sing it again and again.

Here's another funny thing I did recently. Mama and I were just about to leave daycare for the day and all the kids were saying, "bye, Noah." So I said, "bye, Noah" too.

And finally, I am getting super good at remembering all of my loved ones and where they live. I know when we turn onto Tutu and Sir's street, for example, and even called for my Aunt Nora when I was visiting on Saturday and no one had to remind me of her name. She was shocked and it was the first time I had really said her name, too. Am I cute or what?

Well, I hope you feel caught up since our last post. I sure do! See you again VERY soon...
