Noah loved this book and The Good Shepherd, two of the first that we memorized for having read them so much.
He ate a REALLY strict diet for all his food allergies
His breakfast staples every day were cantaloupe, blueberries, and cereal
He desperately needed a bib at all times for all his drooling - I finally got sick of the bibs and just changed his shirt multiple times a day at 18 mos.
His teachers were Ms. Stephanie, Mrs. Liz, and Mrs. Tanya
He often relied on his stuffed monkey, Ah Ah, for comfort
He still slept with a paci
He visited many times with his cousin, Brooklyn
He was fearless with so many firsts: the pool, fireworks, mowers, sliding, petting new animals, flying
His vocabulary consisted of : alright, baby, shoes, Elmo, moo, uh-oh, juice, bubble, mommy, daddy, mimmie, choo train, papa, puppy, be happy, go, tree, ball, pee pee.
Words he was attempting but no one knew but us: book, milk, blue, grandpa, marshmallow, egg, duck, christmas tree, belly button, Emily, help me, drink, hungry, please
He was ga-ga for Choo-Choo Soul on Playhouse Disney
He always wanted to be outside
He would drag our strainers all over the house
He would bonk his head on the floor when he got mad at us
He would head bang in his crib to get to sleep
He was so grumpy after his naps
We frequented the mall play area
He wore his hat so well...never minded having it on
He got sent home from school for pinching so bad.
His favorite toys were balls, the swing, blocks, stuffed toys
He would dance and dance and dance for any sort of music
His love of carousels began
He especially loved the Bumblebee song
He loved dipping food in ketchup and always did it so neatly - never a mess
He drove and drove and drove his Power Wheels
He moved up from the Toddlers to Trekkers nursery class and I was so nervous for him
He would blow kisses at any and everybody and call bye bye, too
He got sick on Halloween and we had to stay home
And it was too bad, b/c he was a precious little Nemo
He tried to have some tantrums but was never real good at it
He became addicted to watching videos of himself on the computer
He got to see his birthmother again
He finally bothered to walk at 16 mos.
He liked to play chase
He continued to marvel at bubbles
We tried and nixed the at-home haircuts
He finally would take his breathing treatments without screaming
He was in his first school play...all his class of 1 yr olds did was sit on stage in their pumpkin outfits for the Thanksgiving show at MDO - but still so cute!
He memorized the way to Mimmie and Papa's house and to school
He would direct us for every turn saying "no way" (that way) and pointing
We tried so many different hair lengths on him
He liked his 2 yr. birthday presents. He did NOT like his birthday hat.
I am loving these list posts. You did a fab job of keeping track of the details. One thing that seems to be the pattern with Noah, is his easy-goingness (is that a word?).
ReplyDeleteI say we make it a word. That, or easy-goingosity. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a fun walk down memory lane!
