Thank You!

I have to thank my dear, sweet hubby for updating the blog once again! I just can't find the time, and he only works 8 days a month, so he'll take over photo-posting duties once again. Rob's just asked me to add my witty commentary to his posts. Not sure I'm too funny, but I'll do my best to narrate! If you're interested, I'll be going back and adding some blurbs here and there.

While I'm on the topic of how great Rob is, tomorrow is the 9th anniversary of our first date, can you believe it? Time flies! Nothing says destined to be together forever like a first date of Applebees chicken fingers and "The Perfect Storm" on DVD!

To start my commentary, I just have to post some of the hilarious things that Noah has been saying lately. He is so funny and learns new words every day!

About a month ago, Noah asked me to "please take the skin off my toast, mom!" ...he was referring to the crust!

The other day, Noah told Rob that "You're my best friend, Daddy!". Awww, cute!

We've been feeding our tenant's cat, Kubu, this week, and Noah loves to help. I told him that Kubu might be nervous, so the first time we went up to feed her, he said, "Don't be scared Kubu, I'm Noah."

On Friday, Noah told his Grandma that he was going to go to school, but not until he went on the potty. At least he gets what we are telling him! Let's hope that he turns three and magically decides he's ready to ditch the diapers!

Noah can't wait for his birthday! He got to open some presents from Grandma and Grandpa today, and he was so excited! I can't wait for his party on Sunday!

Rob was yelling down to me to bring up a trash bag tonight (dirty diapers), and from that point on, Noah got a huge kick out of calling me Lauren instead of Mom, "Hey, Lauren" (ha ha ha), "Bye Bye Lauren", "I love you, Lauren", etc., etc...

Of course, there's a lot to report with our little guy too...
Some highlights:

Dare I jinx this... for the most part, Caleb is now sleeping through the night! What a relief! He goes to bed between 8 and 9, and usually wakes up around 7 or 8.

Unless hungry, Caleb is the sweetest boy, and the happiest baby I have ever encountered. He doesn't make a peep until he starts to get hungry! He smiles all the time, and we just can't get enough of him! We feel so blessed to have him in our family.

He wants so badly to keep up with his big brother. He now sits on his own (just for a bit, before tipping over), and he gets up on all fours and rocks back and forth trying to figure out how to use that momentum to crawl. He has become quite mobile though, rolling and scooting to get where he wants to go.

I think he's getting ready to get some teeth... he is drooling like mad, and puts anything in his mouth that he can get his hands on!

Caleb will be 7 months old on the 15th! Holy Cow!!! Happy Tax Day!!!

I just love these boys to pieces! How lucky are we?
