Wanna know about NOAH?

The Windup...
I thought I would throw in a little update about Noah for those curious about how the "baby" is growing.
Here are the stats:
Weight: 24lbs 8oz. (50th percentile)
Height: 32.5 inches (50th percentile)
Head circumference: 20 inches (95th percentile)
That's a big ol' noggin!!
Yesterday he had his18 month checkup with Dr. Danis and he had quite a time playing with the slide on the scale when he was being weighed. The nurse had to bargain with him and they agreed to take turns to be able to get it done.

Noah has been watching his brothers closely, so he has very little fear and picks up on all of their most "creative" habits. He will eat almost anything that is in front of him, but at the moment he has a love for hot dogs, chips and french fries... think he likes salt like Mommy?

Words of note are: Hi, Hat, Ball, Car, Woof Woof (for doggy), Hot Dog, Juice, Chip, Puff (another food of course), Uh Oh, Grey Beard (for grandpa), and of course the customary... Mama, Dada, Gramma, Papa and Nana. On occasion it sounds like he repeats some of the words we say... but that's open for debate.

He has a shoe fetish and when he's not trying to walk (a.k.a shuffle/trip) around in whichever shoes he can get his feet into, he's walking up to people with their shoes so that they will take him outside.
He also has scary good accuracy throwing things. He can hit even a moving target from about 6 feet away... believe me, I've tested it. The downside to his Cy Young-like ability is that he will also chuck food he doesn't want the length of the table. Thankfully he sticks to launching dry foods like crackers and fishies and not anything of the more sticky or messy variety... yet.
His other main attraction is the TV remote. He loves to turn on the TV even though he has no intention of watching anything. I think he enjoys seeing his older brothers scramble to see what's on the tube and then promptly turning it off just as they get a glimpse.

He's lovingly earned the nicknames "trouble" from Mommy and "beefa" from Daddy.
He still remains "baby fluff fluff" to his older brothers even though his hair has tighter curls than theirs now and sadly he's hardly a baby anymore.
