Noah had christmas last night with nana and bopba, em-mama and weeoo, unk and auteetee. That is how he says everyone's names. He had such a great time, singing christmas carols, playing with emma, and eating Nana's polish dinner.
Noah has had a great winter so far, playing outside in the snow for the first time, or "sNoow" as he calls it. He did not want to go in and cried! He is very patient when getting dressed to go out, too.
He has been doing daily crafts or activites such as coloring, painting, using markers, or placing stickers all over pieces of paper. He likes playdough and mr potato head, too.
We made christmas cookies a few weeks ago. He did such a great job rolling out the dough, cutting shapes, sprinkling with shots, colored sugar, candy pieces and then icing. and he loved eating them, too!
We made jello jigglers, too. He did a great job cutting out the shapes with the cookies cutters. It is so fun now with noah doing all of these activties.
We are getting ready to celebrate noah's 2nd birthday in one more week. I can honestly say that this year flew by so quickly, it is amazing. I feel like we JUST DID his one year old pictures but that was 12/31/06! The summer was so fun, playing outside each day and swimming.
Noah still goes to his playgroup once a week with the same kids from last year. and now he is back in gymboree. He is having a great time. He also goes to the nursery once a week for church and every other monday for mops. He used to cry, but now he walks in, throws me a quick hand and yells "bye" and shuts the door. I am so glad he adjusts so well!

Merry Christmas!
Today we celebrated noah's 2nd Christmas. He knows it is Jesus's birthday. We ask him who's birthday it is and he'll say "Je Je". and we'll ask him where Jesus is, and he'll say "heart" and point to his heart and then my heart and Joe's heart. Then run into the dining room and point to the Last Supper picture. I love that he knows Jesus!
He still does so well with praying and if I forget to pray at lunch time when it is just him and I, he'll remind me by clasping his hands and saying "amen".
We went to Scott and Lori's today. When we were leaving their house, noah turned to my brother and Lori and said "bye mr, bye miss" .. isn't that the cutest thing? I did not teach him that, I have no idea how he learned that. He does not see them often enough to call them aunt and uncle yet. He did turn to my mom and say "bye bye Nana".. I think she started to cry! It was the first time he said that to her. He also said bye bye ya ya to chris and cheyenne's grandmother, as that is the name she goes by for them.
He had a lot of fun opening gifts and eating brownies and fudge... oh boy! Can't wait for him to brush his teeth tonight. Forgot to mention how well he is doing now brushing his teeth. It got bad for a while, he'll do a great job sucking on the brush and making head bobbing motions like he is brushing, but get nothing accomplished. so when we go to do it for him, he gets very mad! So we started using stamps as an incentive. Each night he'll tell us which one he wants: a soccer ball, a star (his favorite), a mega phone or a #1. He is doing so well now!
