He said "YES!"

What a happy moment I experienced last night when I was cleaning up toys when Noah, our cleaner and helper, came over and started helping me clean up. I said "are you helping Mama?" And he said "YES!"
Why is this a big deal? Up until now, everytime you asked him a question, he always said "no." always. So, it was such a treat to hear him say "yes." I followed up my question with "do you love your mama?" He said "yes." With my heart melting I said "do you want to go night night?" He said No. By golly, I think he's got it!
Noah has been the most amazing boy for us lately. Just playful and jolly and full of love. He's been giving the most amazing hugs, too. His communication has improved so much, we can't get over how old both children are getting.
So, I've included pictures of Noah, or "Noah Boa 2," as Anna calls him. I've started with some pictures of Noah from 2004 that I love. I hope you love them, too!

I can not get over his chubby, chubby cheeks.
I think I've kissed them 4 million times with many more to come!

Our boy.

I love this picture.

This picture was taken while Noah was in recovery after his hydrocele repair surgery. The blanket on his head was nice and warm.
I love this picture so, so much.

Fast forward to present!

This was Noah this morning. He very much loves to not have clothes on. He's the opposite of his sister. If he's crying and upset, just take his shirt off! All better!

Can't wait to clean this face!

Noah is an amazing basketball player.
