first sentence and first dentist visit

This morning, as usual, noah went through his routine when he woke up..." mama home, dadda home, nana house, bopba house.. leo house, and he finally said a wonderful full sentence, complete with his first properly used pronoun, "emma at her house".. I was so excited for him! He has not been using pronouns unless mimicking us. "I see you" when playing peekaboo with us or when stuggling to get down we'll say "I want down" for him, and he'll repeat it back. But today was on his own, not mimicked. I was so excited!
Noah had his first dentist appt today and he did soo well! the dr said he will have issues with over crowding as he barely has enough room for his two year molars to come in yet. I knew that would happen as he is such a peanut and would have a small mouth. and he showed me how to brush his teeth a different way and it works much better.

first big boo-boo's

(2 years, 3 weeks)
Poor noah took his first trip down the stairs, head first. He ran out of his room, and tripped, unfortunately at the top of the stairs and went head over feet all the way down, landing on his head. It scared me soooo badly! He was fine and cried immediately. I asked if he wanted to call daddy at work..."awwww fight" he replies all sad. He felt better after kisses from me and speaking to daddy and went about his business of eating snack and playing with his toys. This is after a few days of high temps (104.7 to 102 to 103.4). and then later in the week, pinching his finger hard enough in his self-attempt to close the high chair straps.. drawing blood and cutting his finger. and then today, burning his mouth badly on hot fish sticks.. apparently they were not hot where I tested them. Poor noah, but I know it could be much worse!

Noah's words

2years, 2 weeks
Noah still continues to grow in his vocab. mee-mee is mittens, guck is truck. mulks is milk, may-men guck.. mail man truck. ka-ka is cracker.. apple-ple is apple.. elbow-bow is elbow. helakaka is helicopter, complete with sounds as he pretends it flies through the air! Fob is frog and it "rips".. ribits. Bun is bunny rabbit, guy is dog, "aw-fight" is all right, but he'll either say it as "awww fiigghht" when surrendering to a request or "aw-FIGHT!!" when enthusiastic to a question.

the funny thing is eh-day-day is :

air plane

ambulance

library

I have no idea how, but all three are eh-day-day. and I understand which one he means each time. I just love hearing him talk!

He is going through a bit of a crabby stage right now. It is a little frustrating. He screams and whines a lot. He is also refusing his naps, despite being completely exhausted. I know it is only a stage, but frustrating none the less.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY!

Today is Noah's 2nd birthday!!!
It is so hard to believe he is 2. This year has flown by so fast, it is amazing! He continues to grow and change on a daily basis, learning new things. He constantly is amazing me.

We had Noah's birthday party on December 30. NanaB, Bob, Nana and Bobpa were over, along with Aunt Helen, Uncle John and Cousin Paul who were visiting from FLorida. Aunt becky, dan, emma and leo could not make it because Becky was recovering from Gall Bladder surgery from two days prior. Aunt Lori came-who noah calls "Ya Yi" and Cheyenne who Noah calls "chey chey". Scott and Chris were in RI at another hockey game chris was playing in. We had a huge Thomas the tank engine cake, so big and blue! noah's face was covered in blue frosting. He loved his balloons, especially his Thomas balloon. He got so many toys and presents, he is so fortunate. Everyone had a good time. Noah's favorite was Bob the builder tool set from Nana and Bopba. He pretented the screw driver was a microphone and shared it with mommy as we both sang into it. He is such a funny kid!
