2 going on 16

 
Our little Noah turned 2 in November. This kids has been with us for 2 whole years! He has grown up so much in just the last couple months. He definitely doesn't act 2 , and I think that has something to do with having 3 older siblings. Noah is on the go all the time. He never rests. If he wants something he will get it. For the last year Luke has heard me vent to him about how Noah can never be alone, and how I can't even take 20 min to get somewhat ready. If I do disaster strikes. I don't think Luke believed me until he started this new job and is working at home a lot more. One time I was out running and Luke was getting ready. He wasn't upstairs for very long but when he came down he saw Noah painting our wall with nail polish. He climb on my dresser and got the polish. Just one of many stories. There is never a dull moment with Noah. We are so glad he was sent to our family. Here are some fun things about Noah
-He can hit a baseball and throw a ball almost as far as his older brothers
-He wants me to sing the Wise man every night before bed
-He is currently obsessed with Elmo
-He loves babies
-Parker is his little buddy/partner in crime
-He pretends to fart all the time
-He still has the biggest lips and I kiss them all the time
-He has to do everything himself, don't even try to help him or he will freak out
-He is memorized by Christmas lights. It's the one time he is not screaming in his car seat to get out
-Yes he still hates his car seat, which makes us want to never go out of town
-He thinks he can ride Nick's bike, which always results in falling. Still he doesn't learn.
-Loves nursery
For Noah's birthday I had a cute Elmo party all planned out but that weekend our family was hit by a nasty flu that had both Luke and I in bed. I had no desire to make the Elmo cake I had planned on. So i called around to see if anyone had one. Albertsons said they did. Um not quite what I wanted but he is 2 and could have cared less. He loved it.
 
His gift from us was this basketball hoop and let's just say he loves it and never leaves it alone. The older boys love it too.

He also got a basketball and football from Grandma and papa Lund. He wouldn't let them go.

He actually slept with it at night for a couple nights. Not the best picture but you get the idea.

He had a great birthday...see for yourself...
 
Happy face= total success!
Happy Birthday Noah!
