22 Months Now!

My adorable little boy is 22 months now! Only 2 short months and we'll be celebrating his 2nd birthday! I asked him the other day what he wants for his birthday party. He said two things...aunties and mowers. So we will try to invite his favorite KC aunties and have a mower-type theme =)

Noah is learning new words daily! He surprises us! His vocabulary is already at 75-100 words and he's starting to say phrases and it is so adorable!

The other day, he woke from his nap, sat up, sighed, smiled and reclined, folding his hands and said "Let's pray!". Hilarious! I asked who we should pray for and he said "Nana!" (that is the only person he suggests we pray for....Nana is Auntie Stephanie). He usually suggests we pray for her and then waits quietly while I do the praying. This time, he prayed along with me out loud =) So cute!

Noah is growing and growing! He is growing out of a bunch of his clothes and is already too tall for the sleepers we bought in Canada in July! Wow! Others around the base have been making comments that he seems to be growing inches over night these days!

In celebration of 22 months, I weighed and measured Noah. He is a whopping 23.5 lbs now and 33.25 inches (2 feet 9.25 inches). Such cuteness to me!

He continues to show us so many parts of his personality and character. He is smart and very perceptive. He is tender and compassionate, especially if he hears someone crying. He is super duper friendly, loving to talk with strangers and saying hi to everyone he passes. He has a gift for names...amazingly remembering the names of some people he's only met once. He has more energy than anyone I know. He has a strong love for mowers, cars, trains and animals these days. He also loves bedtime. Glory!

Happy 22 Months, little guy! You are a joy to our family!
