Happy Birthday Noah!!!!

2 years ago today, sweet little Noah Jackson made his arrival! He came out completely silent and blue (which was scary!), but soon turned pink and let out a little cry. :)

For the first two weeks, all he did was sleep...it was hard to wake him and even get him to eat. And he has been a phenomenal sleeper ever since - praise the Lord!

He loves his big brother, and the feeling is mutual since Lincoln can probably not even remember life without him (Lincoln was only 15 months old when Noah was born).

Noah has some introverted-ness running in his blood, loves to snuggle, and has a hard time being away from mommy, daddy, and Lincoln. However, in the past few months or so, leaving mom and dad has gotten much easier - as long as Lincoln is still with him. :)

His once introverted personality has recently shown signs of much more extroverted traits. Not sure if this is just a normal progression that would have happened eventually or if his extremely extroverted big brother is rubbing off on him! Either way, he is stinking hilarious these days!

His vocabulary is probably the most exceptional skill about him. He talks mostly in complete, short sentences and blows us away with the things he says and how articulate he can be. We figure Lincoln has played a part in that one, too.

I think Noah is going to be our singer! He loves to sing and has for some time. (Lincoln still remains our dancer - ha).

Noah does NOT like changes or transitions. He is definitely stubborn and has his specific preferences!

His favorite 2 books right now are "Brow Bear, Brown Bear" and "The Little Mouse & the Red, Ripe Strawberry".

As far as sleeping goes, as I mentioned earlier - he's a champ. By this age, Lincoln was in a big boy bed because he kept crawling from his crib.
Not Noah.
He is perfectly content in his snug little nook, sleeps until 9:00am, naps from 2-5, and goes to bed around 9:30 (yes we have odd schedules around here during basketball season). And he is the most hyper and hilarious from about 8-9:30. :)

Noah memorized his first Bible verse this month with the motions and all. Precious.

Unfortunately today on his birthday, he is one day 2 of a pretty high fever. Poor guy. So we had a birthday doc appointment in order...blah. He was laying on our bed watching a show, and I just went in to check on him to find him sound asleep, clinging to his veggie tale balloon.
