18 months!!

Wow. It's been forever since I have written anything! What a whirlwind of a summer! From broken washers and computers to selling our house to Noah's first staple. Noah is 18 months now! His stats are: 31.5 inches (25-50th percentile) and 21.75 lbs (5th percentile). He loves to tag along with his big sister, whether that's wrestling or playing dolls or cooking in her kitchen. His newest 2 favorite toys are his basketball goal and his John Deere tractor. He also loves to play with the dogs. He will throw Aspen the ball and clap as she brings it back. Noah is very sweet and loving. Lyds was crying today and he came and started patting her back. He wants to be in the middle of things no matter what they are. Noah is also our daredevil climber. He climbs in the bathtub, on the dresser drawers, tables, in the cars, pretty much anywhere. He loves playing "on your mark, get set, go!" It has been so fun to watch his personality develop and come to life! It is fun and challenging having a boy. Boys seem to be rough and tough. We are working on "no" at our house. He just hasn't gotten that one down. We are trying to be consistent and firm but sometimes it is a losing battle. Though he tries my patience, he is loving and fun too. He loves to hug and cuddle. It is exciting to be able to watch as he develops into a little man.
