Noyes Family Blog: A long overdue update!

My goodness - I knew it had been a while since we had updated but I didn't realize it had been this long. We were just discussing how we thought the winter months were supposed to be slow but we have been busy busy busy these last few months.

Since our last update, Cole has done so much changing and growing. He is quickly losing the "baby" appearance and looking (and acting) more and more like a toddler each and every day. Every day we say how much fun we are having with him and we can't believe how it just continues to get even better. I guess it is so true that you really don't understand this kind of love until you become a parent.

His latest tricks are attempting to "jump" (although his feet don't leave the ground), riding his tricycle around the house w/ the help of daddy, playing basketball with daddy, and playing ball with Zoey. Every day he seems to gain or attempt more words - although he clearly is a motor skills kind of kid!

Cole continues to be a VERY picky eater which can be frustrating but we are learning to pick our battles. He has his staples of things he will eat and we have to limit the amount of fruit he consumes - could be worse I guess. He is still in the smaller end of the growth chart for weight but the higher end for height - so finding pants that fit is a constant struggle.

He continues to LOVE day care and we couldn't feel more blessed and thankful for such an amazing day care provider. He giggles when we pull up in the morning and cries when I put him in the car in the afternoon - although Mommy might like him to show some sadness over her leaving him - it is such a comfort to know he is in such loving hands and he is so happy with his "friends".

Since we can't possibly catch up with all the pictures. Here are just a few of recent months. We promise to try to be better with our updates.
