Big Three

On July 1st, Noah turned three, and we celebrated Mickey-style. Family and friends came over. Noah knew it was his special day and loved being the center of attention.






He got a little help with the candles from Andrew, who was happy to assist. 





After cake, it was time to dig into the presents. Noah had a great time pulling off wrapping paper and chasing balloons.
 


At three, Noah is full of energy. Here are some of the things he loves:

- Playing on the iPad. At first it was only the Mickey app, but now he's even into Andrew's spelling games.
- Toy kitchens
- Cars, big and little
- Toys that make noise, like Andrew's monster truck or his pirate ship.
- Glow worm is still a favorite, even though he's lost his shape due to too many trips through the washing machine
- Anything on Disney Jr, especially Little Einsteins
- Strawberry kefir, spaghetti, Chick-fil-a, tortilla chips, and ice cream

He's a picky eater at home, but cooperates a little better at school. He walks really well, and almost runs through the house in his little orthotics, slamming doors. He can feed the dogs, and then sits right next to the dog bowls to watch them eat. It makes them nervous. He likes to play in Andrew's room and usually climbs up into Andrew's bed. Hasn't fallen off yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time. He likes going to school, but he likes being home more. His favorite spot is on his bean bag in front of the TV, iPad in his lap, and a cup of kefir in his hand. Happiness.




Happy Birthday Noah!!
