Noah's Big Brother

On Saturday at our ward breakfast, Bradley was running around with the other kids. After feeding Noah I let him down on the floor to play for a little bit, and he started crawling after Bradley and the other kids. He was slower, but still followed them as best he could. Not too long after I put him down, I saw Bradley come over to Noah, get on his hands and knees and start crawling with him. He didn't do it the for a very long time, but it was heartwarming to see him welcome his little brother. Later, about the time to go, I called for Bradley and Noah. I could see Bradley and he started running over. I called Noah's name as well, he was hidden behind a table and didn't see me, but Bradley ran over to Noah and showed him how to get back to our table. Bradley still likes to steal Noah's toys on occasion and practice his tackling on him, but he loves his little brother.

Why I am going bald

It starts off innocently enough...Noah sitting on Aunt Megan's shoulders...

The sly grin found on Noah's face is your first clue...

Next thing you know, you are trapped and well on your way to being bald.

*Special thanks to Megan for being our demonstration model

Speaking of Megan, Noah loves her to death. Now, Megan is great, and what's not to love, but Noah is seriously obsessed with her. (for example, she came to my house this week, but had a cold so wasn't going to hold him. He just stared at her for like, a half an hour with these sad, 'please hold me' eyes. Every once in awhile, he would lunge at her. He would not be distracted. Finally, I either had to let her hold him, or fork out lots of money for counseling) Needless to say, he just is nuts about his Aunt Megan. I finally figured out why...

Sitting Up!

Noah can sit up! He can also balance a monkey on his head. How many of you can say that?

That's my boy!

                                                           Nothing beats a good smile.

A guide to understanding Bradley

Here is a video of Bradley showing off some of the words he knows. Not only does he not do this very often, but it is rarely on demand, and NEVER in front of a camera. It's sort of long, but I'm posting it anyway.
