Grandma knows the way to Noah's heart - she let him play with her phone. Here he is making overseas calls. Grandma's not going to like her bill next month! ;-)
Sunday after church, Noah got to go on a walk with his grandma and great-aunt. Unfortunately that did not tire him out much and he's ready to read some books.
Since the weather turned out so beautiful, we opted to go outside and blow some bubbles. Noah wasn't quite sure what to think of them. He was more interested in the contraption making the bubbles, than the bubbles themselves.
(Grandma pulled his pants up so high he looks like a little old man! (if he had no hair, he'd look like great-grandpa Blick!)
Aunt Dana walked him around the yard where she encouraged him to pick a "flower" out of the yard. Can't wait until he tries to pick mamma's actual flowers. Aunt Dana is going to be very busy re-planting!!
I couldn't resist this shot - how adorable is this little man?!

Noah loved showing off his flower but was not real big on sharing it. Aunt Judy had a way with him b/c he'd give it to her a couple of times, but when grandma would ask for it, he refused her!
Noah is also great at giving kisses! It's so sweet and he's not shy about sharing them. They are a little wet but we're working on it.
I'm excited to report that Noah can finally drink out of a straw on his own! I bought him a juice box on Saturday while we were out. He hadn't quite mastered the straw but he seemed to do well with it at Olivia's b-day party and we've been practicing on occasion. I thought the juice box was the way to go b/c I could squeeze it and then he would suck so he'd catch on. Sure enough, he did! By Saturday night he was drinking out of his cup with the straw! He seems to enjoy it much more than his sippy cups (which is fine by me!) because they leak everywhere so this was a big event for both of us! :-)
Noah's gotten a little ornery. For example, he's been acting up a bit more in church and when he doesn't get his way, the tantrum comes out in full force. So, last night, Aunt Dana stayed over for dinner and Noah woke from a nap around 6. I figured he was hungry b/c it was late and he was a bit whiny. Mike tried to get his pizza cut up and when I tried to stick him in his chair, he threw the biggest fit, thrashing around and screaming. We had to lay him on the floor and ignore him for about 10 minutes while he got out his rage. Finally, when he calmed down, he sat and looked at me. I offered him a hand and he came over and pointed to his chair. Apparently he was ready to eat. Sure enough, as soon as we put him in his chair, gave him is food and drink, his mood completely changed! He was happy and smiley! Who does this alien child belong to because he can't be ours?!?!
He's also going through this thing where he's not too happy with Mike. Any time Mike tries to hold him or give him affection, Noah wants no part of it. I know that can't be easy on Mike but I know it's only a phase. One of these days, Noah is going to want to go everywhere with daddy and it's going to drive him nuts! It's not too easy on me to see Noah so upset with daddy and vice-versa. Hopefully that will change soon!
That's all for this week. We hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as we did!
Love to all,
Corri, Mike and Noah
