There's a two-year-old living in my house . . .

. . . and to be honest, it's freaking me out a little!

We celebrated Noah's second birthday last week.  We had a great "All-Star" themed party that was SO MUCH FUN.  All Noah's friends and grandparents were here to help us celebrate.  We had fantastic, not-too-hot weather so everyone got to play outside in the newly improved backyard playground.  I can't tell you how much joy it gave me to see all the little ones play together in our backyard - it was great!  I concocted a crazy-but-cute giant cupcake birthday cake, and of course there was ice cream, so I think it was a hit!


But now, I have this two year old "Big Boy."  Nothing baby-ish about him at all any more.  It seems that Noah has grown so much in just the last two weeks.  His vocab is exploding and he's linking words together into 3- and 4- word sentences.  We moved him to his toddler bed, so now he comes downstairs on his own in the morning.  He transitioned great into the big boy bed - I was really nervous about it, but Noah did great, as always.  He's learning his colors - purple is his favorite!  He's having a serious love affair with Elmo.  He's also a big fan of bubbles right now.  I do see a little bit of jealousy with Eli, but I'm sure that's normal.  Sometimes it seems his favorite phrase is, "Eli!  No!!!"  I'm anxious to go in for his check-up in a few weeks to see how he's developing physically, too.

I love seeing him grow and learn things so fast, but it makes me a little bit sad.
It's just going too fast!

  1. It is going TOO FAST! I agree! But so proud of the big boy you are becoming each and every day, Noah! Listen closely to the red furry monster--Elmo...he'll teach you lots of things! And to your Mother too...she is a pretty good teacher too :)
