Easter in Boston

We finally made a trip out east to see my new niece and to have Noah get to know his cousins a little bit. The trip was great--including the flights--and it was just so pleasing to see Noah playing with his cousins. We even had an egg hunt in the backyard in spite of the unusually cold weather. Note Noah's funky firetruck easter basket. They didn't make those when I was young.

On a side note, it was interesting to see Noah next to his cousin Matthew who is only 6 months older. Followers of this blog know that we're always aware of Noah's size, and he and his cousin are at completely opposite ends of the size spectrum. At two years old, Noah is the size of a typical 15 month old while Matthew is close to many four year olds. Amazing.

Terrible Twos

Lots of things have happened since the last post, the biggest being that Noah turned 2. He had a great birthday party down in San Diego and got lots of cool presents (thanks everyone). Noah has also hit that most notorious landmark, the "terrible" twos. Actually, he's not that bad, but we have begun giving him timeouts and are really working to teach him how to play nicely with others. On the fun side, he is talking like crazy. It's so fun to have conversations and see him as a little boy now. Time is flying!

I got game

First post in '07. Here's Noah with some sports balls that he got for Christmas. In other news, he seems to be heading into the terrible two's. He's starting to refuse things more and definitely likes to say "NO!" Hopefully, it won't last too long.
