Noah had his 18 month check-up today. Apparently our "little" boy is a giant! He is 35 1/2 inches tall! This puts him in the 95+ percentile. However, he is only 25 lbs. 7 oz. that puts in the 50th percentile. He is definitely going to be like his daddy. Tall and lanky!
While in the exam room with the doctor, Noah was telling the doctor that they were missing some knobs and such from around the room. Noah's vocabualary at the moment consists of about 5 words. So this was basically a whole bunch of jibberish. The doc told us not to worry that he was definitely able to get his point across and one day it will just click. In the end, he told me that Noah was just perfect and I have to agree!

The rest of the week
The rest of the week we were at my Mom and Dad's included everyone in the house taking a turn with the stomach flu.
Once everyone started feeling a little better we did do a few things. One day we went to the park. On another day we went Huber Farm. Noah had a grand time on the tractor ride to the animals.
Noah also took a turn entertaining the people in the ice cream shop at the farm.

Uncle Eric looked like a natural holding his niece and nephew!
Grampy smoked some awesome ribs and Annalise wanted in on some rib action.
We also went to the zoo where Noah had his first ride on a carousel. I tried to put him on one of the animals around the edge of the carousel. He would not have any of it. So we rode in the sleigh. As you can see, if this was a little bit of a stretch at first. He really started to like it right before we got off!

Just because she is cute
Totally unrelated to anything, but because she is just the cutest little thing in the world.
I lost my pants at the Flying J
Well, I didn't, but Noah did. More on that in a minute.
After John's mom left the next weekend my mom flew in to just turn around the next day to drive with the kiddos and me back to her house. We left the house 2 hours behind schedule. I should have realized that was a big flashing neon sign that says, "Be prepared for crazy!" We had to stop about every hour and half or so because of some weirdness.
Shortly after stopping for lunch the car started to fill up with a green cloud of stinkiness. We stop off at a Flying J truck stop to change Noah's pants. I realize as Noah is laying there with his bum exposed that he had used his back up pants the day before, and I had forgot to restock the diaper bag. So Noah lost his pants at the Flying J. He wondered around the truck stop in a t-shirt, diaper and his tennis shoes. He thought it was good fun; I was a little mortified. Mom and I decided we should make t-shirts that say "I lost my pants at the Flying J". What do you think?
We stopped for dinner in Cincinnati. It took much longer than it should have, but that is the way it goes. It was getting to be bed time and the kids were getting beyond cranky! Annalise was not a fan of not being rocked to sleep and screamed her way through the city. We stopped to give her a little TLC. Annalise went to sleep pretty much instantly after pulling over.
I picked up a little stomach flu along the way. Thank goodness it decided to wait until we were almost to my parents' house for it to hit, but holy moly was it horrible. I am guessing, that Noah was the kind soul who started it. All I know is that every single one of us at my parents' house spent at least one night feeling like we were going to die from the stomach Ebola virus.
It was a long day, but thankfully we all made it there safely. Noah was worn out and slept in the next day.

Crazy times
So sorry I haven't updated in a million years. There has been an unusual amount of chaos around here. First John's mom was here for the weekend. We had a wonderful time and took a trip to Living Treasures Animal Park. It is one of the coolest places around to take young kids. You can feed just about any animal in the park and it is not just goats! Noah loves this place and quite frankly I do too!
And because I think it is cool, a nest full of ostrich eggs. To be fair, they collected all the eggs and put them in this nest. Sadly, there are no boy ostriches at Living Treasures, so no baby ones.
Noah is was also fond of Frankie's dog kennel.

(No little boys were harmed in this picture.)
We had a wonderful visit, but as always it was too short.
