Developing personality

Noah is such a little guy now. He is Mr. Independent. He wants to do everything on his own. He refuses to be fed. He has to feed himself. Of course, much of the food goes to the ground. It's very messy but he enjoys it. He also has learned to climb the furniture. Luckily, he also knows how to get down safely. I now have to watch what I say. Yesterday, I happen to call out that it was time to eat. Before I know it, Noah has climbed a chair and was eagerly awaiting his food.

He loves balls. As long as he has a ball to play with, it can entertain him for minutes. He loves the outdoors. He is content if he is outside...much like his dad. He tries to play catch with you. He is also very entertained by his brother. He thinks Nathan is so funny. They are starting to play a lot more. Their favorite game is chasing each other. It's loud and noisy but I just love to hear them giggle and laugh at each other.

Despite of his growing independence, Noah still loves a good cuddle. He always wants to be carried and hugged. Ever since he was a newborn, he always wanted to be hugged. I hope he never outgrows that!

tuna fish, roly poly and crab

Nate has discovered roly polies or we call them..potato bugs. He can spend endless hours looking for them in our backyard. He also loves hunting for snails. One time he washed the roly poly and told me that it went swimming. Of course, it drowned but Nate said he was asleep. I couldn't break his heart by telling him it died so I told him we should put him outside so that he can go to bed. Luckily he agreed.

Nathan also likes the song "slippery fish". He loves the tuna fish part of the song. So whenever he sees any fish, it's automatically a tuna fish. Auntie Abby bought him a beta fish and we asked him what his name was. At first he named him Juan then he changed his mind and named him Tuna Fish...surprise, surprise.

We've also gone crabbing twice and he loves the crabs. So today I was trying to eat crab for dinner. I started by taking off the claw and Nathan went into hysterics. Apparently, he was attached to the crab. I've never seen him so upset before. I offered him another crab but of course he wanted the one that I broke the claw off. After he settled down, he asked for a bandaid because the crab has a boo-boo.

I also bought him rain boots for the winter and that's all he wants to wear now. So he's typically in a tank top, shorts, and rain boots. Whenever he is out in public...everyone is in hysterics. He just loves them and he knows how to flaunt it!

It's a start....

So I've been wanting to do a website for the kids and Erdy and I just haven't gotten around to it. So this is the start. Hopefully this will be entertaining for all. I'm hoping to take the time to blog some of our adventures. The kids are growing up too fast and I need to capture the special moments.

Happy reading!
