it feels like a crazy dance around here, at least! between juggling schedules and attempting to plan our days around nap times, etc, we tend to do a lot of "dancing" around here. the month of may has come and gone and our sweet noah has grown another month older. he continues to love to play with lexi, play outside, and point out that anything with wheels is a "car." he also maintains his love of reading, now bringing books to us so we can read them to him or so he can sit and turn the pages and "read" to himself. he has added several more words to his vocabulary including: cow, teeth, ball, TV, and bird, and the animal sounds "quack quack" and "moo." he is better and better at following instructions (when he wants to, of course -- welcome to toddler-hood, right?) and will now take us to something he wants if we ask him to "show us," and will go to the bathroom if we tell him it's time to take a bath or brush his teeth. speaking of, we did purchase an actual toddler toothbrush for him this month and it has been well-received. noah already knew where his teeth were when we would ask, but now when we say it's time to brush his teeth or he sees a toothbrush he will excitedly exclaim "teeth! teeth!" it is adorable. and, other tooth news: noah finally got some of his top teeth in! the front right tooth is completely in and the front left tooth is slowly making an appearance. he still has the best smile around :)
we also purchased noah a pair of shoes to wear outside so his sensitive little feet would be protected. while he did well walking in them, and didn't seem to mind having them on, he prefers to have them off. most of the time i get them on him, he wears them for a while, then he sits down and tries to figure out how to get them off before looking at me forlornly like, "why are these things still on?" i guess it's a work in progress.
as i mentioned last month, noah has figured out how to open drawers which, literally, opened up a whole new world of places to explore, things to get into and, subsequently, things to put away, and get in trouble for. we've been working with him on not opening the drawers around the house and he's actually gotten much better about it, but he will still slip off sometimes and when i go looking for him i find him surrounded in the office by pens and pencils, or in the kitchen with ziploc bags, spatulas and spoons. another work in progress.
we have a pediatrician appointment on june 1st, so i can't tell you yet exactly what noah is weighing or how tall he is, but i can tell you that we are transitioning him to 18 month clothes and size 4 diapers. yay!
other news this month included celebrating
uncle jared's graduation and his 22nd birthday, and celebrating
mother's day with the family.
