Noah has made the move from crib to his "Big Boy" bed. We bought him some new toddler bedding with Elmo and company on it. He was excited about Elmo and excited about sleeping with his new pillow and blankets. He's spent the last 2 nights there with no problems. Our little boy is growing up!
More pictures to come soon.

Birthday
Yesterday was Noah's 2nd birthday. We had such a nice day. It was perfect weather here. Sunny and warm, around 80 degrees.
Our neighbors were having a yard sale. Noah really likes our neighbor Wayne. He followed him around all morning. Wayne lets Noah go behind the desk at the library and lets him help check in books. Noah gets such a kick out of it. Yesterday he rode his bike in their driveway, played soccer with Wayne's girlfriend, Pat. He was getting real good at kicking the ball around.
Later, Angie and Andy came over. Angie took care of Gloria while I made dinner. We ate dinner and then opened presents. Noah was slow opening the wrapping paper at first but then got the hang of it. He got Baby Einstein Flash cards, an alphabet puzzle, a Tee-ball bat and stand, Jo Jo's Dance mat, 2 dvd's, and some books. One of the books Angie got him has a night light in it. It's perfect for him to take to bed.
After presents we had cake. We tried singing Happy Birthday, but for some reason that seemed to scare Noah and he started crying. I guess we must really sound bad! Noah's cake had Elmo at the beach. He took the toy Elmo and fed him some of his cake. He got a little messy, but not nearly as bad as last year!
After cake, we put Gloria to bed. I thought after all the juice and cake Noah would be too wound up to go to bed, but Wally read him a story and he went right to bed.
And after all that, Mom and Dad got to enjoy themselves by playing a game and having a few drinks with Angie and Andy. We had a great time and a lot of laughs. It was a good day for all.

Just like butter...
She's on a roll. Little miss Gigi rolled half way across the room today. She's doing front to back and back to front. She's much quicker than Noah was at this age. I wonder if that's really true that girls develop faster than boys. Having one of each sure is a science experiment sometimes... or is it just my kids?

Sleepy teeth
There were 5 things I thought of that I wanted to tell you today. Let's see if I can remember them all.
1. Gigi slept through the night Monday and Thursday nights this week. I'm talking, slept from 8pm to 7am sleeping through the night. In her bassinet, by herself. We are feeling rested!
2. Noah's getting his 2 year molars. I've noticed he's been putting more of his hand in his mouth lately and sure enough, we have an upper left and lower right. How odd to come in on opposites sides like that.
3. Noah also has a new "baby." He's always liked to push the umbrella stroller around and lately he's taken to putting the volleyball in the stroller and walks alongside me and Gloria. We're calling him Wilson.
4. Today Noah traced my hand and his when coloring. Something he remembered Mommy doing weeks ago.
5. I knew I wouldn't remember all 5. Oh well. There'll be time later.

A language explosion
Within the last 2 weeks, Noah has just exploded with new words and phrases. Granted, I can't understand all of them just yet!! But he's jabbering non-stop now. Plus, he understands more complex directions. His favorite things to do and say at the moment... Go outside, watch Bear (of the big blue house fame), play ball, ride bike and lello (which somehow means color, but sounds more like yellow.) I think we got confused one day using the yellow paint. Oh, and we got some great washable paint the other day which was a lot of fun.
