You are too funny for words- and you often remind us by saying: "Noah funny?" with a big grin on your face. Actually most of your sentences end in a question mark. The other day your shorts were around your ankles and as you walked around you said: "Penguin? Like Penguin?" Yeah, you're a funny kid.
A couple days after the penguin stunt you were munching on watermelon- one of your favorite fruits. After taking a bite that involved half of the chunk you said: "Watermelon chair?" and sure enough- the watermelon looked like a chair!

Around the time of their visit you started screaming.... loud. Not out of anger- just to see what it was like. Being the cool mom that I am I tried to respond minimally. I simply said: "wow, that's a big loud noise." Well, that was encouraging enough, evidently. Now you scream for fun and then say: "Big loud noise?" So we started trying to tell you that the big loud noise is for outside- not for in the house, or the car, or the store...

You also started "reading" a book for the very first time. It's Knuffle Bunny. I think you thought when mommy and daddy talked "baby talk" it was too funny so you started doing it too. Now you have most of the book memorized!

While in Vermont you went into the barn with no complaint for the first time! Usually the cows make you nervous and you start saying "No! No! No!" as we approach the barn- despite the fact that you've begged us to see the cows. This time you were happy to go into the barn. You even picked up a little black cat. When Uncle Philip came in the barn though you burst into tears and insisted Daddy pick you up. We're not sure why. You then were brave enough to even go into the calf room- usually a daunting idea. You started adding -es to the end of plural words. So we saw cowses and you wanted to see geeses and goatses too. While eating dinner one night you burped really loud. After the briefest of pauses you said:"please?" We couldn't help but laugh.
We went to your second family reunion and it was sooo much fun because you were there. You loved playing with your distant cousins. Half way through your exhausting day we took a walk with you in a mei tai on Daddy's front and you quickly fell asleep. You then slept almost 2 hours in Grammy's van with a crazy thunderstorm raging all around- with some hail thrown in for good measure. Guess all that outdoor playing and interacting can wear a two year old out. I can't wait to see how much you've changed in two years at our next reunion. To think- at our last reunion you were only 3 months old!
Anyway, it's time for me to go put you to bed.
Tired but so in love,
