Dear Noah
What a year this has been! You are so big, not a baby anymore. You still need your mama tho. You are still very clingy to me which is nice. I miss co sleeping with you, but you dont snuggle into me the way you used to. Now you turn away and fall asleep. Each time I see your independance peeking through it is a bittersweet feeling for me. I am proud of the young person you are becoming and know you need to grow, but I feel a sadness, a longing for the little one that needed me for everything.
You now sleep in your own bed, most nights willingly. You would rather sleep with us, as some nights start with tears and crys of mama as you point to our room.. But you take your daddys hand and he leads you into your room for your, pre bed time routine. A story, bonding and prayer with daddy. I love seeing you both hand in hand walking toward your room. It such a warm feeling seeing the two of you together.
Daddy and I enjoying the space in our own bed. You have the knack of being able to turn 360" all through the night. Your preferred sleeping position is feet in one of our backs or necks laying horizontal across the bed!!! followed by small crys of "binky" or bowbow randomly throughout the night!
You turn 2 in two days!
My favourte things about you at this age are your, humor and your loving sweet nature. your eyes light up when you see me and you still run into my arms with gleeful crys of mama mama! you get upset if i leave. You and i play alot, we wrestle and you get tickles galore. You are fun to play with.
I still love bathing with you and its a fun place for us to play. Your vocabulary is really good and its such a joy to hear you talk and add words daily.
You do however break me about once a month! you are very strong willed! you test me on a daily basis. If i tell you not to touch, you will look at me and touch something else close by to see my reaction. It must be your age but you do the stupidest things, its like you are on a death pact. I find you sticking things into plug sockets on a daily basis!! you only listen to me when I let out a frightening scream.. NOAH! NO!.... You have been told 1000 times do not go into the cuboards under the sink where the bleach etc is and every day i find you in there!!! we did have a child lock on it but you broke it with your super baby strength and daddy isnt the best at fixing stuff.
You tear up the house. I can hear you doing it now. touching things that you are not allowed to! Ive lost some pretty important things because you climb on furniture and break things you are not allowed to have. Some belonging to my dad. That makes me sad.
I dont do well at spanking you. So you go on time out and you hate that. Im pleased because as i said i hate spanking you. Dad says you need it!! it something we will always disagree on.
I love your cuddles and kisses. you are all boy, you love trucks.. Especially your daddys truck. You run out to meet him most evenings and say "truck" and he lifts you up into the cab of the truck and you pretend to drive it.. its so adorable.
Right now im going to probably spank you ... ok i didnt spank you. You had taken a small bottle of conditioner into the closet and you and timmy were using it like cream. I just took it from you and said NO! this happens about 100x a day!! No Noah are the words i use most. Apart from I love you. That i say the most to you.. I love you more every day..
I will write more often my darling
I love you always forever

Crawling
Dear Noah
We are waiting with bated breath for the moment you move forward on your own. So far you get on to all fours and then to afraid to go forward but knowing how to get back to sitting you cry out for me or face plant the floor.
Part of me looks forward to seeing you progress and grow and hit those developmental milestones the other part of me wants things to stay just as they are. You needing me, relying on me and content in my company.
You dont seem to interested in crawling tho. You are pulling yourself up in anything you can get a secure grip on. Daddy even walked you over to me holding your hands. You were very wobbly but oh so proud of yourself. Maybe you will skip crawling and just walk.
Today you and I were playing taking socks on and off your feet as you lay in my arms before your nap. I would scoot them over your heel and you would pull them off to your delight. Then I would put them back on and we would repeat the process. I noticed that you then tried to put them back on your own feet too. It was more you just placing them on your foot while it dangled in the air and not quite letting go of the sock so it looked like you were rubbing the sock up and down your foot. I loved it. loved watching you trying new things and seeing you make connections every day.
At the moment you are also smacking your lips and we copy each other for about 5 mins.
Oh noah my days are filled with moments of sheer joy being with you.
I love you so much
your loving mother always

My Happy Boy
Dear Noah
No matter how down I feel you always put a smile on my face. You are such a happy boy.
I feel blessed to have you in my life. You are always smiling or laughing. At the moment you have this fake laugh that you do. We copy you and it goes back and forth between us.
Im watching you as I write this, you are trying to climb the sofa and crawl. Everytime I turn and look at you, you smile and laugh.
You also have this super cute thing you do with dad. When he calls you and smiles at you, you get all coy, laugh and bury your head in my shoulder. Its too sweet. Only dad gets that reaction from you.
Your 8ms now!! wow where does the time go.
Your calling to me and its almost time for a nap.
Your loving mother always.

Fart Noises
Dear Noah
One of the sweetest things you do right now is laugh out loud. You do it manly for daddy when he blows raspberries on your stomach or feet. Its the most adorable thing to watch.
But you laugh for me when I do fart noises with my mouth. It cracks me up.
You are such a delight. Even on our most down days, when mummy and daddy are overwhelmed with life's anxieties you are the light in our life. Your smiles and the love that flows out of you, makes everything ok.
We love you more than you can ever comprehend
Your loving mother always X

Wanting to stand alot

Pull himself forward so he can sit up
