Happy Birthday Noah!!

Today is my middle child's birthday. Yes I know it seems I have one (birthday not kid)every week. He is now 8 years old. He is the one that keeps us on our toes. There are so many stories I could tell about Noah but I really don't have the time to write them all down. So here are my top 8 things/stories about Noah. Get ready to laugh...

1. Noah cried from the moment he was born till he was about 11 months old. I took him to the doctor many times and cried right there with him. They said he was over stimulated. His brain could not catch up to his body. He was crawling at 6 months and running by the end of his ninth month. He is always on the go.

2. Noah loves to make silly faces and get you to laugh no matter what.

3. Noah was/is kinda like Dennis the Menace. Once Corey had bought me some really nice perfume. Well I went to put some on and it look really funny. So I decided it smell it. You will never guess what it was...urine!!! Yes I said pee-pee. Noah had poured out my perfume and peed in the bottle and put it back on the shelf!!! He was 3 years old!

4. Noah gets up in the middle of the night and eats a lot! I promise we feed him. We have had to put a lock on the cabinets. So now he digs in the freeze. A couple of weeks ago he ate a WHOLE box of FROZEN toaster strudels!!!

5. Noah loves to snuggle early in the morning before anyone gets up. He comes to my bed and squeezes in on the side.I really don't know how he doesn't fall off. I mean he is on the edge on the bed. He waits for his daddy to get up for work then he sneaks in. I love those times!

6. Noah has great handwriting or at least I think he does. Especially for a boy. He loves school and doesn't want to miss a day. Which I am so thankful for!!

7. Noah never sleeps and I'm not kidding either. He has had a sleep study done. They said he never gets in to the deep sleep. He has to take medicine to even fall asleep then he only sleeps for about 4 hours. Then he roams through the house all night. They(his ADHD DR) said to put a screen door on his bedroom. Well I might be from that south but that is even too redneck for me!

8. Noah is very caring, he loves to read, and he loves cleaning house. He will make some woman very happy one day! He is sweet, silly ,loving, hyper, and strong-willed. He is very athletic and can learn to do anything in a matter of minutes! We love Noah so much!

Happy 8th Birthday Noah! We love you so much.

Daddy,Mama,Kain and Zoe

The day Noah was born
7lbs 8ozs

We were shocked by the black hair.

I love those big brown eyes

I never thought we were gonna get rid of the paci.

Oh and it had to be this same brand.

This was Noah's first beach trip.

If I remember correctly a wave splashed him in the face.

He was 8 months when he started trying to walk.

He was running time he was 10 months and he hasn't stopped yet.

Always a goofy smile

He defintely did need a hard hat

His 2nd birthday and yes he was skating with no help

He loves being goofy

This was at one of my family days at my hubby's work

Fishing with Daddy at the grandparents lake house at Wateree

I just love him so much!

Finally...

My husband NEVER asks for anything. He is always happy just buying the kids and me things. Or at least he acts like it.I can not tell you when the last time we bought something that he wanted.It's sad since he is the only one with a paying job but it's true. But he has been wanting a new TV and after seeing the Martins he was dying to get one. Now we have not bought a TV in 11 years and it was the TV/VCR combo. You can push the channel button and the volume would change. So I suppose it was time for a new one. Now this is not the big monster TV that some of you have but our last one was a 25" so we are moving up in the world. Corey is grinning from ear to ear!!! And probably thinking it's about time.

Not Me! Monday

MckMama is explaining exactly how to not do it on this week's post!
So I most definitely did not do any of these things.

1. I did not underestimate my husbands ability to break out of his shy shell while doing the scavenger hunt New Year's Eve.

2. My husband did not run from one end of the outside doors at Wal-mart other. And he most certainly did not scream "The British are coming". Then he did not completely fall out(it was on the list)in front of strangers and roll 3 times. I did not almost pee in my pants when I saw the video!

3. On that same said scavenger hunt I did not sing I'm a Little Teapot in front of strangers at the local Blockbusters. I also did not do the motions with it. Nope not me!

4. I did not sit home Saturday with my husband and have a movie marathon. No I would have been cleaning the house since we didn't have any of the kids.

5. I did not wear my Winnie the pooh PJ's(just the pants) to take the kids to school this morning.

6. I am not so tired from having to get up at 6 this morning that I can not think of anymore not me's! I do not enjoy sleeping to at least 7 and did not love the winter break!
