Noah is 2!

Noah turned 2!! Already! So hard to believe! We of course had to have a Mickey Mouse party because he LOVES to watch Mickey Mouse! It was so fun! We had a Hot Diggity Dog Bar, decorate your own Mickey Mouse cookies and Mickey Mouse & Friends cupcakes! Thank you to my wonderful and talented husband who made the 2 signs for his party (even though he needed to study for school) Here are a bunch of pictures from the party!

He loved hitting the balloons

This post is a little late because I was a little late in getting him in to the doctor's for his 2 year check and I wanted to include his stats! ;) My big 10lb 3oz baby is now a big 34.4lb and 38in little boy! He is so much fun and really starting to show his personality more and more!
- He has been talking a lot more recently saying new words all the time with many 2 word phrases and a few sentences as well. He loves to try and sing to some of the kids songs in the car usually singing every couple of words (but he knows which words are coming).
- When he gives a hug, he smashes his cheek against yours and squeezes really tight while saying SQUEEZE!
- When he wakes up in the morning or from his nap, he usually will come walking out holding 2 or 3 Mickey's, Elmo and sometimes another stuffed animal as well.
- Loves to buckle himself in ...in his highchair, carseat, shopping cart, etc. but then wants you to undo it so he can buckle it again.
- Is OBSESSED with trash cans....I have no idea why but he always feels the need to point out every trash can to you. Also loves to throw stuff away (even stuff you didn't know you wanted to be thrown away)
- Loves to be outside
- In the process of being potty trained.....On our trip to FL at the end of May, we were in the TSA line and he was yelling poopy! I checked him and he had not gone yet so when we finally made it through the line I took him to the bathroom...he didn't go but as soon as we went and sat down to wait for the plane, we could smell him :/ so when we got home we decided we would start potty training.
- Is wearing mostly 3T clothes, some 2T's still but a lot of them are getting too small
- Before bed time, we read 2 books and then he gets into bed for the night...recently he has started saying rock before I lay him down so I have been soaking in the extra couple snuggle minutes that he wants me to rock with him before bed. He will lay his head on my shoulder and suck his fingers and wrap his other arm around my neck. It is so sweet and precious that I know will not last much longer so I am enjoying it while I can.
- Loves to jump! Not just on the floor (although he does that quite often) but he loves to jump off of things as well. His ride on rocket ship, a stool, pillow, stairs...if he can stand on it, then he is jumping off of it!
- Will randomly call me Sarah! One day he started saying Sarah and I thought he was talking about our friend Ms Sarah at church. But he said No, Mommy. Sarah. Pointing to me! Crazy smart kid! It shocked me but makes me laugh everytime too because I just don't expect my 2 year old to be calling me anything but Mama/Mommy.
- Thinks he is a big boy and will try to keep up and copy everthing Caden and his friends are doing!
