WATCHING SID

Keep-Away and Sleepy Head

Just a cute video of Noah playing keep-away from the dog...

And I had the unfortunate task of waking Noah up from his afternoon nap the other day because he was just sleeping away and we had places to be...but in the process I realized you should never pass up an opportunity to catch the sweet little priceless innocence of an almost 1 1/2 year old sleeping peacefully.

Easter and New Discoveries

Easter was an absolute BLAST this year, from our Easter Egg hunt at Mama & Papa Craddocks to our Sunday morning church breakfast and service, and finally, to a wonderful Sunday afternoon at Grandma Donna's, not to mention some amazing food! It was such a relaxing and enjoyable weekend spent with family and rejoicing in our risen Savior! Unfortunately, a 16 month old does not stand still for pictures of any kind, there are WAY more important things on Noah's to-do list. So we had to capture his adorable Easter outfit in some rather unconventional ways.

Noah seriously has a full agenda on his mind when he gets up in the morning...run across the house as fast as I can, up and down the steps again and again, and where will Mommy's baking dishes end up, the world may never know! What an amazingly fun age we are in with Noah right now. I felt like everyone kept saying what a terrible time we would have once Noah started walking/running, but I have to say, I adore watching him become more and more involved in the world around him and make new discoveries, it's beyond words the joy and love you can have for such a little life! He is hilarious in the morning now, babbles a mile a minute through his bedtime binkie, pulls the blankets over his head, and literally fights you not to get him out of his crib, he loves being lazy in the morning, but only for about twenty minutes, then it's off to the races! He knows what a sheep, cow, and kitty says and points to and identifies several objects in his Baby Einstein book. He asks you to put Sid the Science Kid on television, he has officially graduated to the biggie boy bathtub, LOVES brushing his teeth, attempts to brush his hair...and Mommy's...so funny, and of course, he has learned the joy of playing outside and getting dirt under his fingernails in true boyish fashion!

He also has created quite a bond with the dog...and as much as I hate the dog these days, I have to admit, it is really, really cute!!!

What a happy and healthy baby boy you are Noahman. We never can help but thoroughly enjoy all of your giggles and cheezy smiles. Daddy and I love watching you play and grow and discover more and more and become your own little person with little opinions and objections along the way. It all adds up to one incredible you...and we ADORE you!

Hi, Camera, it's, me, NOAH!!!

This is the video of Noah's first Easter Egg Hunt...SOOOO CUTE!!!

Biggie Boy Haircut

Noah was brave and experienced his first haircut this past Wednesday evening. The pictures are kind of like watching a film strip...sat in the booster with the cape on...cried...sat on Mommy's lap with the cape off...still cried...sat on the cutting station table and made phone calls on the salon phone...whined a little...ended up with a handsome guy hair cut and now Mommy has officially lost her baby boy...look at how grown up I am! Thanks, Joni, you are the best!!!

Let's face it, Noah will always be my little baby boy!

So, I guess we can disregard the need to change to a new blog, at least for now. Because, according to Noah's 15 month checkup, he is holding strong and still remaining UNDER 30" in height. He is officially 29 3/4", which Dr. Motz was quite surprised at the lack of a growth spurt, he was fully expecting it by now. Noah weighs 25 lbs. 2 oz., which is the 50th percentile for his age, but because of his height, they are concerned and having us cut out his "nite nite" bottle (which makes Mommy extremely sad) as well as his milk at lunchtime...water it is! We will probably look back and laugh someday when he towers over 6 feet tall, you never know!

But enough of the statistical updates on Noahman, check out all of the fun our 15 month old is having!!!

Me sitting on my Daddy's lap on the couch

Don't I look so charming...no, not Daddy...me, the little guy!

We aren't the best at taking our own pictures, but we tried!

I finally gave up posing and just drank out of my brand

new sippy while Mommy took the picture.

Showing my cousin the ropes of my Exersaucer, I

spent lots of time in there when I was her age, she loves it too!

I got the coolest CAVS Littleman rocking chair from Aaron & Christina, they spoil me rotten and I love it! Christina is my favorite person to see at church every Sunday!

Here is a brighter picture, but I'm busy concentrating on SID the Science Kid so no looking at the camera to show how much I love my new rocker! But I do, so much that I even push it around the room with me all day.

AND...I got to play in the SNOW for the first time!!! Daddy calls me his little "Snow-a Man"

The backs of my little thighs got extremely cold within about 3 minutes and I was begging to go back inside! If only I could have some hot chocolate...maybe warm chocolate would be safer.

Spencer was helping me play as I made a Noah-sized print in the snow!

YEAH SNOW!!!

My favorite thing to eat for breakfast are "toast-bites"...it's just a regular piece of toast cut up into Noah bite-size pieces, but it sounds cooler to call them "toast-bites!

Hope I don't lose my toast-bites from being in this position!

Me and my Daddy upsidedown!

I like to rearrange Mommy's tupperware cupboards while she cooks, and I thought this one belonged on my head! Don't worry, Mommy, I still have the right lid to go with it too!

********************************************************

More to come because............drumroll...........I get my first biggie boy haircut this week!!! Mommy is sad and Daddy is excited because he said my curls were starting to make me look like a girl. Should be an experience to remember!

It's Definitely Been Awhile...

Hi, Blogger Friends, it's me, Noah, sorry it's been awhile, but I can assure you, my life has been anything but boring over the past two months. Yep, I have learned how to steady myself, take a step, take two steps, toddle, and eventually, WALK! I walk everywhere, everywhere I can, with no destination, for no reason, without any regard for what may be in my path, I just walk...and walk and walk and walk...because I can!

This is how my Christmas ended after two exciting days of family, fun, and lots of presents...

Between Christmas and my birthday, I have a full playroom of toys to keep me busy, unless of course the remote is anywhere within reach, then I don't want anything to do with my toys...

And sometimes I just like to knock over my train and use it as a recliner instead...

I have also discovered how fun it is to climb up onto the couches and sit on the end table...

The month of January has been a sad month for my Mommy...she lost two of her grandparents, but I am so glad I got to meet both my Great-Grandpa Ring and my Great- Grandma Yost and make them smile with my cheesy-Noah-grin!!! I know she is grateful to have Me and Daddy beside her through it all, and we love her so much! And I actually got to meet my Grandpa Ring, whom I hadn't met yet, when our families were in town for the services...

Oh, and my Mommy wants me to let everyone know that they should stay tuned for what's to come of my blog or if it will continue at all. Since I'm not a "little baby" anymore, maybe it's time to start a new blog seeing as I'm such a biggie boy now...

But until then, thanks for reading up on my life! I'm 14 months old, repeat virtually EVERYTHING my Mommy says in some form, and am really learning how to communicate and make my own way in this great big world!!! It's exciting!

Happy First Birthday, Noahman!!!

It's pronounced..."BA-OON!!!"

Noah got to enjoy a double birthday celebration, and therefore, was extra-experienced when it came to smash-cake #2! Enjoy the birthday pictures below, and once again, the media-impaired Wolfe household cannot figure out how to successfully get the cake-smashing videos off of the camera, so you will just have to believe me when I say, they are priceless!!!

**********************************************************

The cake...4 9x13 cakes (which includes 1 dozen eggs and 3 hours of work), 5 batches of icing (which includes 20 sticks of butter, 2 bags of powdered sugar, and 5 hours of work)...the outcome...priceless!!! Tony and I seriously had a blast making this cake for Noah.

Love the football smash-cake!!!

And the birthday boy who got to smash cake #1...

And cake #2...
