Finally, Some pictures

Here are some pictures we have collected in the past few months. I think they show the personality of our little man. He is just as crazy as his daddy.

Headed the Christmas Eve Service at church

It's Christmas Morning

I love dancing with my guitar.

Mr. Potato Head...He's a classic.

You now know I am my daddy's son. I love sports of any kind.

This is Noah's new favorite past time. Yes, he is playing in the refrigerator. He will beat on the door for you to open it, then he rearranges everything in it. You can she the chocolate pudding he spread on the shelf.

The lady at the Japanese place said I HAD to be part oriental. Who knows?

I like to cook too.

Oh that Mr. Potato Head. He is so much fun.

We hope you enjoy the pictures. He is a crazy little man with loads of personality and energy. He definately keeps us going.

What's in a name do you say?

Since we know we are having a girl, we figured we would take a look at some names in a Baby Name book given to us by a friend of ours. After about an hour of looking though the book we thought it would be best that whoever came up with these names should be put in jail forever. Anyway, we selected a few actual names from the book for you to vote on. Pick the one you like the best. Remember in order for these names to be in the book, a parent had to actually give the child the name. Sad I know.

St.John Family 2nd Edition: Break out the Pink

For those of you have not heard by word of mouth yet (apparently it is travelling quickly) we are excited to announce that the newest addition to our family will be a LITTLE GIRL!!. That's right, we found out today at the doctors office. Those of you who voted must have had some information I did not have. I actually had a dream two weeks ago that we were having a girl. I did not put much thought into it until another good friend of mine dreamed we were having a girl as well. Girls are not all that common in the St.John, we usually have a lot of boys so this will definitely be a change of pace for our family. Ruby will now have someone she can play with which will avoid my nephews having to play with dolls LOL. Hopefully we will be able to get some photos of the visit on the blog soon so you can see her.

It's Been Awhile

Sorry it has been so long. It has been crazy with school starting back and trying to get in the groove of things. (I am not doing so well with that.) I keep telling myself, "Two more weeks then a week off." I think I would make a better stay at home mom. Anyway, Noah is as big as ever and still growing. At his 18 month check up he weighed in at 30 pounds , and he was 36 inches long. (Yes, he is in the greater than 95th percentile.) Two weeks later we were back at the doctor's office with a sinus infection, and he had gained weight. He was 33 pounds. We went back to the doctor 1 1/2 weeks ago because he was beginning to wheeze. Turns out he has another sinus infection. So, that is the battle we are trying to win right now. He is on breathing treatments, an antibiotic, and nose spray (fun). We are giving him Tylenol for a low grade fever. I think that in the midst of everything else he may be cutting more teeth. David and I go on Tuesday to find out if #2 is a boy or girl. We are excited to start thinking about names, and for David to start cleaning out the back room. Well, that is about all that is happening around the St.John house. We will post some picutres soon.

Noah has decided this year he wants to decorate the tree. Actually, he is alot better at undecorating. He doesn't remove the ornaments all at once, but he does wait until you are not looking. The boy might not be able to speak in full sentences but he knows when something is right and wrong. Since he was unable to walk his first Christmas, he is making sure he brakes enough stuff to cover last year as well. Me and Char had to take the Christmas balls off of the tree because Noah mistook them for baseballs. There is one thing we learned besides the fact that he has a good arm and that is Christmas balls do not bounce off of the fireplace, especially when hurled at a high rate of speed. For Noah though, the crashing of glass off of the wall is great entertainment. The Christmas season this year has been great with Noah being able to recognize everything going on around him. He really likes the lights and gets really angry when you bring him inside. (I think he has his mother's temper, but we won't tell anyone). Anyway I am pretty sure we go through what every other parent goes through at this stage of their child's life especailly this time of the year. We could have put a barrier around the tree but what kind of fun would that be. At least this way, he keeps us on our toes. By the way right after this picture was taken, Noah thought it would be really cool to jump out of the chair. He didn't land on his feet, but he thought it was funny. Who knows what he will do next.

Number 2 is on the way

No photos with this one sorry. We are now breaking our silence to say we are expecting our second little one! I (David) actually broke it quite a few times before but who's counting right? Char won't admit it, but I am sure she told a few as well. It is very exciting to know that Noah will have a new brother/sister running around the house soon. Maybe we will have some photos to put up in the near future.

Noah is now 16 months old. He has grown up so much over the past 7 months. He no longer walks anywhere, he runs (sometimes he falls, but he is getting better). He is trying to say alot of words but the one he is really good at is "No". Another favorite is when the Bulldogs score a touchdown and he yells out "tut down" and jumps up and down. Rather than describe how much he has grown, we figured we would show you. Hope you enjoy the photos.
