Happy Birthday Noah

So today was Noah's second birthday. I can not beleive he is two years old. We kind of did a choo choo theme. Noah loves to watch "choo choo" and "tractor" and "dump truck". ( He has a Thomas video that has all of those in it.) I decided to make his cake again this year. I think it was a hit as you can see from the pictures below. When I told him we were going to eat his cake, he ran to the table and climbed right up. As you can see, the first thing he did was grab the tractor. He had a look of shock and amazement on his face when everyone started singing. It was too cute. We had been singing the birthday song all morning, and he was shocked to hear everyone else start singing. We had a blast today with family and friends. Noah got some great big boy toys, and he is no longer in need of summer clothes :) We want to say thank you to everyone for a great afternoon. Noah had a blast and was not happy to see everyone leave.

For Those of You Wondering

I went to the doctor today, and things seem to be better than last week. The doctor I saw last week said she was concerned because I had not gained weight in 8 weeks, and my fundal height was the same as the week before. So, she sent me to Tyrone to have an ultrasound done to make sure Eden was okay. I found out that at 36 weeks Eden was apprroximately 5 pounds and in the 12th percentile. She was measuring 33 weeks. That was a shock to me since I am use to hearing the words 95 th percentile. All week I have been praying for Eden to grow. Anyway, I got to see Heather (the midwfe I like to see)today. I have gained two pounds in the last week (I think I am the only person that would be happy about that), and my fundal height has grow a full centimeter. I left the office praising the Lord for letting this little (I mean little) girl grow. I think Eden may come on her own, instead of like her big brother because things are progressing faster than they did with Noah. I go next week for another check up and ultrasound. Let's pray that she has grown even more.
Well, Noah will be two in two days! We took him to the doctor a couple weeks ago because he was running a fever and found out that he is 35 pounds. Bless his heart he is a mama's boy and has gotten into the "old you" stage. Yes it breaks my back, but how can I resist.
Check back next week to see how things are going.

"ater" and "fishies"

Noah and David have a new past time since David has been able to stay at home with Noah on Mondays and Tuesdays. They like to go down to the lake (or pond) and throw rocks or feed the "fishies". Noah loves the fishies and has no fear of the dock. Yesterday, he jumped, fell on his bottom, and almost landed on his back in the water. Here are a few pictures from our ventures down to the lake (pond) yesterday.

Here is David trying to hold on to Noah. He likes to be free.

What's down there?

Hurry, hurry Daddy's crying. I gotta give him love.

It's a flower Nonny (mommy).

Just a Few Pictures

I realize it has been about a month since our last post and not many pictures of Noah lately. So, I decided I would make up for it tonight as I was baking a cake, washing dishes, and loving on my little man. (I feel like super mom.) Anyway, I hope you enjoy. As you can tell he growing up fast. I can not believe he will be TWO in less than a month.

Here are Noah and Ruby riding cars in the yard one afternoon. Ruby came to play when I picked them up from JoJo's house.

Here is Noah in his Gilligan hat. I love the way he says hat. Everyday he is saying soemthing new. My favorite thing to hear him say is "Nooo Daaaddy."

We were taking a walk up the driveway in the wagon when Noah spotted this water puddle. When he saw the puddle, of course, we had to throw "ocks". Then, throwing rocks led to hitting the water with the bat and stick. When that was no longer any fun, he decided to run through the puddle and eventually slide on his bottom.

Noah loves to play outside with David. You never know what they are going to find and start playing with. One day David had Noah holding a worm. The other day Noah was chasing a frog. Yesterday, David was showing Noah salamanders. This evening, I got called from my cake baking to take a picture of them playing with a lizard. This was no ordinary lizard. It was HUGE and slimy looking. Yes, I know he is a little boy, and that is what boys are suppose to do. However, this child is not afraid of much, and I can see him walking to me one day saying "nonny" and holding a snake. And on the day it happens, I will be out cold on the driveway.

As for me I am feeling fine. I have 7 school days left (with the kids), and about 6 weeks until Eden makes her grand entrance. I think she is finally starting to run out of room.

Say Hello to Eden Claire St.John

These pictures are from about two months ago, but I thought they would work.

Trip to The Aquarium

We took the little man to the aquarium last week. This was the second time he has gone, but this time he was able to enjoy it alot more. He even decided to set off the alarm at the Titanic exhibit. Embarassing for us but he of course thought it was funny. We highly recommend visiting the Titanic exhibit, it was very interesting, just don't take your kid. ha ha ha.

I do my own stunts

Noah has decided to go into the stunt man business. He is seen here trying to flip over his rocking horse. He does it all the time. He also enjoys standing on the oven door, various chairs, the toilet, and jumping off the couch. I am suprised we have not visited a local hospital yet.
