Celebrating 8 years... Happy Birthday Noah

April 20, 2002 - Our little Noah was born! And I do mean little...born a month early, he was 6 pounds and 21 inches long. To look at him, you wouldn't have thought he even weighed that much. Oh, those skinny little arms and legs. And he's still skinny! After the 19 hour labor I was definitely ready to see our new son! He did have to spend some time hooked up to breathing monitors but we were so thankful that he didn't have to stay any extra time in the hospital. He was adorable from the beginning and still is! It's so hard to believe that it's already been 8 years. He's growing up!

Then...

And now...

Noah's favorite... icecream! And boy can he load up on toppings!

The mega gun - essential for the Nerf war competitions in our neighborhood!

Noah loves, loves, loves any kind of "little man" as he calls them... Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones, you name it, he has it! These cool G.I. Joe toys came by mail today, especially from Grandma and Big Daddy. He's enjoyed playing with his Daddy's G.I. Joe stuff stored at Grandma's that belonged to his Daddy many years ago!
