Weird Quirks

I thought I’d tell you some of Noah’s weird little quirks. He’s such a funny guy!!!

*Likes to take a drink of water out of his sippy cup and then just open his mouth and let it all fall out. Then he laughs!

*Likes to stand against the railing and stick one foot over the edge, or he’ll sit straddling the railing and dangle his feet.

*He’ll grab my decorative fall pumpkin, look at me and run in the opposite direction, laughing the whole time, knowing he’s not supposed to be playing with it.

*Walk backwards – which, I might say, he’s actually getting pretty good at!!!

*If we leave a bathroom door open, he has a 6th sense about it and runs in. He’ll grab some toilet paper and start chewing on it and then grab some more toilet paper and start unwinding it.

*If we are upstairs, he runs into our bathroom and likes to play in the shower. Not sure what he finds so fascinating about it, but he likes to stand in there!

*Likes to stick his arm in the surround sound sub-woofer.

Our Little Princess???

Do you remember a couple of weeks back when we celebrated Rick’s parent’s 50th anniversary? We left Noah with our great neighbor friends while we went out. Well, we just received a picture from that night….we are currently looking for new babysitters!!!!

They always teased us that they were going to dress Noah up in their little girls dresses…but we didn’t think they were serious! Guess we should never underestimate the power of a free babysitter!!! Now for paybacks!!!

Nursery

On our way to church this morning, Noah was very vocal, so we figured one of us would have to take him to the nursery for the first time today! He was actually doing really good until the sermon started…I guess Noah had his own sermon he wanted to give, but we had other ideas. So Rick brought him to the nursery. Rick said as soon as they got to the nursery and Rick set him down, he crawled right over to these foam blocks and sat on them. We really think he is half monkey!!! I guess Noah likes the nursery – I suppose we better get used to it, because we might be there more often!!!

What the heck is that???

I went to change Noah’s diaper yesterday afternoon and when I pulled up his shirt, my heart skipped a beat. His belly button didn’t look right – it was huge, sticking out and a different color. I thought it was infected or something, but I didn’t notice anything different when I changed him earlier – what the heck is wrong??? Oh, wait, it’s a piece of corn!! Nevermind!!

It’s amazing how fast your mind races!! I think it was only a second or two before I knew it was a piece of corn, but I had a lot of thoughts in that two seconds!!

Do you notice the lotion bottle that Noah is chewing on? Yeah, we need a distraction when we are changing him these days. He’s trying to roll over, I’m holding him down so we don’t get a mess all over, and he just won’t cooperate – I think he’s going to snap in half! So diaper changes tend to be pretty fast around here. His pants come off first and then he gets the distraction item, then it’s a race to see if I can get the diaper off, clean him up and get a new one on before he gets bored with the distraction item and wants to roll over!

Who Needs Toys?

We really do have some toys that Noah can play with, but he seems to like to play with anything that he can reach – shoes, straws or socks!! We got back from a walk yesterday and I took off Noah’s shoes and laid them off to the side. A little later he had rolled over to them and was chewing on them! Then last night we went to the Pizza Ranch (yes, this is the 3rd time I’ve had Pizza Ranch since I’ve been in George!!!) to meet Jim, Doreen and Katie and Noah liked playing with his socks and a straw! Every once in a while he would get the straw a little far back in his mouth, but it didn’t stop him, he just kept chewing on it!
