17 Months Old

Full of personality but not so many words, he still gets his point across and you can definitely tell what he wants. We often try and get him to say the words we know he can say but he is so incredibly stubborn and will only talk when he feels like it. On the rare occasions he does say a new word I try and make a big deal out of it hoping that mommy's excitement will push him to try and say more. So far though, not much success. He can roar like a lion and bark like a dog but I'm not sure how far that will take him :)



Noah is at the stage now that whatever someone else has or is doing he must have it or do it to. It's been frustrating because there are still things that he is a little young for but he throws the hugest fits. We've just learned to walk away and ignore him that seems to be the only thing that stops the temper tantrum. My mom cared for the kids on saturday so that Gavin and I could go out and celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary. When we returned she was telling us about Noah throwing a hissy fit about something and she had no idea what it was he wanted. Apparently he sat in the other room and ignored her for a while! I think she was surprised to see him act like that because usually everyone comments on how good Noah is and how quiet he is.



Noah's favourite toys are cars, trucks and balls. Anything round is a ball to him so he is constantly throwing food such as blueberries across the room and saying "ball". Yesterday at the grocery store he wanted the watermelon that was in our cart because he thought it was a ball. He had his first major melt down in public because he couldn't throw a watermelon. You've got to love the toddler times :) His favourite book is a truck picture book and we must read it every night.

Noah keeps us incredibly busy but always entertained! he stops just long enough for some extra cuddles and to give us big open mouth kisses! I just love my energetic mamas boy.
