Noah is 15 months

I am way behind on this post due to how busy and sick we have been! Wow Noah is into ummm.... Everything! My dad says he has never seen a kid climb as much as he does. Noah has....

-thrown everything off the pantry shelf then climbed up on to it

-chewed up 2 toilet paper rolls- bit a chunk off, spit it out, then threw it somewhere around him

-dumped a bottle of body wash on him and when I put him in the bath he got mad because he was so slippery he kept sliding and falling

-climbs onto the kitchen table

-climbed up the hallway closet and dumped my big bucket of nail polish

-follows me around while I'm vacuuming and turns it off if I'm using it and on when it should be off, he got caught turning it on so dragged it into the kitchen and turned it on where we couldn't actually see him do it....

-getting under my bathroom sink and tossing all of my hair stuff out is a daily occurrence

-as is getting into the bathrooms- he pulls the toilet paper from the roll to the toilet, takes out the wet mess and throws it on the floor, then repeats

-and so so much more!

He hasn't gained any weight so his dr wants us to do some tests with a specialist to make sure everything is all good. We don't know how he hasn't gained anything since everyone calls him a garbage disposal. Moving from one person to the next finding food. He hears the oven click on and gets so excited and starts signing eat. He will sit in front of the oven waiting and while I am cooking he holds on to my legs watching and begging for whatever!

He fell out of the cart at target :/ it was so sad he had one huge bump and bruise that broke the skin in the middle of his forehead, then a bump on each side of the big one. Poor baby grabbed the shelf and when I moved the cart didn't let go, so he flipped upside down and dropped to the floor. Banging his head all the way down. Luckily we just had bumps. 

He is walking every once in awhile, not all the time though. He just knows how dang fast he is crawling. He mimicks a lot of words and it's so fun to hear new ones. He is loving when we talk about nose, eyes, ears, toes, etc and points and mimicks away. He doesn't cry too often he just goes from one thing to the next. Even if he gets in trouble he just smiles and goes on. We think we need to call the person that does commercials for sour patch kids because he is the epitome of those! He will pull your hair, shirt, or be doing something he knows he shouldn't and then look at you and hugs or kisses you and smiles. Man this kid is exhausting, but of course so fun and we love him tons! He loves to sing and dance with or without music. When he sings he will even close his eyes and throw his head back belting it out.

Life soccer, ballet, fun and fluff from 5 to 6!

Wow have we been busy! We have been sick too many time since Christmas and are ready to be done! Poor Emma had a reaction to some antibiotics and Noah isn't gaining weight. So we are too good of friends with too many doctors! Hopefully we are healthy for awhile now. 

Benjamin started soccer. We are loving it and all the energy it is. It's so much fun watching him play. I get a little too energetic sometimes and need to remind myself it's fun! He loves it and plays around in the backyard with the ball for hours. Noah loves kicking the ball and chasing it around, he wants to be just like bubba.

Emma has been twirling and pointing those toes. We have no yucky(flexed) toes over here just pretty(pointed) ones. She was doing ballet, tap and hip hop. She decided she liked ballet and tap more so we are holding off on the hip hop for awhile. Emma just loves getting her Leo's on and special shoes. She can't wait for aunt Taliah and Charlotte to come visit so she can teach them now. Noah is so good while we out at dance he plays with the blocks and gymnastic toys, exploring away.

The weather has been so amazing that we have wanted to be outside. The backyard is all rocks so Madi helped me makeshift some things and we are enjoying the blue skies and sunshine! Jake got called to be in young men's with the priests. I got called to be in activity days with the 10-11 year olds and to teach the 11 year olds in primary. We are enjoying the ward and the kids are too. Emma loves to bear her testimony. Benjamin does to, but is a little bit more timid when he does. The kids are learning so fast. We finished the Book of Mormon and we are almost done with the Old Testament.

Noah has been all over the place, loving doing anything and everything his siblings do. My sister Madi graduated from college! Whoooo hooooo! She moved to down here and is teaching now. My dad got a job here also. My mom and the girls will come when the house sells. Everyone pray it's soon! In the meantime I have been loving having some of my family members back and so have the kids. It's so much fun and I'm so grateful that our family members are our friends.

Well our family grew from 5 to 6 this weekend! We added a little golden to our home. He is so fun and cute. We named him Baymax from the movie big hero 6 because he is red, our hero and he is all soft and squishy :) we love that movie over here! I Have loved golden retrievers since I could walk and talk and am so excited the kids get to experience their love! Benjamin is already playing soccer with him and Emma is a momma to him. She is even picking up his poop with out one complaint! They are always watching and making sure he is happy. Noah thinks it's amazing we got him a kennel, a bed on the floor and even got bowls for food and water right down at his height. He is too funny and will go chill in the crate and then go lay on the bed. So far he just loves the puppy and then switches to jealousy if he decides he should be cuddled instead. We are excited for the puppy times we get and the family member that we get to enjoy activities with us.
