We went on a real vacation with Noah Nov 8-11. We flew to Charolotte, North Carolina and went to a christian retreat in the blue ridge mountains in western North Carolina. We stayed with 4 other families who also brought their young children. It was cold, but all of our cabins had heat, hot water and beds! Kind of luxorious camping. We had a lot of fun hiking and playing outside. Mamma went horse back riding and daddy went on a really long hike. Noah did very well on the air plane, only having trouble with his ears on the way back.
Noah is starting to pray very well. He will fold his hands neatly and bow his head, occasionally looking up to smile and mimic whom ever is speaking--he'll shake his head or really close his eyes tightly. He'll add a few words and then end by saying "AMEN!!!" I am so proud of him, when ever I ask if he wants to pray -even if not before meals, but just random throughout the day, he'll respond by saying, "ALL RIGHT!"
Noah had a nice thanks giving over Nana's and grandpa's house-- or as Noah calls him, "bap ba". It is the cutest thing to hear him say that. He played with Emmma and just looked at cousin baby Leo a few times. He was very jealous if mommy held baby Leo.
Noah is starting to talk in sentences now and putting more words together. As I was leaving nana's after dropping him off, I said I was going home. Noah then said, "mamma has to go home." It was so cute!!
He has another cold, just recovering from the NC cold he got on the trip. But it is the season, and I know he'll just keep getting them.

Halloween time!
(22 months)
Noah had a great time on halloween night with Emma! or "Em-mama" as he calls her. so hard to believe on the same night, just last year, noah learned to crawl while chasing after a fire truck with Emma. so much has changed in only a year.
Noah was Thomas the train-- well really the conductor. He had so much fun playing with emma and running outside as it was in the 50's, and uncle dan lit a nice camp fire for them. They ended up swapping costumes, Emma had on Noah's train conductor hat and noah was sporting emma's pink cow girl hat! It was so cute!
Last month proved to be a huge transition for Noah in the language department. Mid October, Noah started with so many new words, and he has not stopped. It is so amazing, to listen to him every day saying and repeating new words.
He is also down to one nap a day, starting around 21 months. Occasionally he might take 2, if he is playing hard. The one nap is flexible, either in the morning or afternoon depending on what we have going on. That seems to work out well. Today he fell asleep on the way home from Nana's with a book across his face!!
He seems to be behaving much better, not as grumpy or fiesty. He is giving lots of hugs and kisses and is very sweet!
