Six Month Musings

It dawned on me today, that as of yesterday we have had Noah for six months. As I was reading to him before bed last night, or should I say he was reading to me, I was struck by just how much he has learned in 6 months. The particular book we had out was a word book that has lots of pictures with words underneath the pictures. For example, a picture of a shoe with the word "shoe" underneath it. This book has probably close to 100 different pictures and words and Noah can name probably 90% of them correctly. It has everything from body parts in it, to pictures of airplanes, the beach, colors, shapes, and he gets them all correct. And when he stops to think about one he is not sure of, he pauses and says "Um....I don't know". It is so much fun to get to see him start to string words together and make sentences. On another note, on Memorial Day we had a cookout/swimming party at a church member's house. This was Noah's first trip in the pool. At first, he was terrified, but eventually he put his feet in, then his hands, and then he JUMPED in. Thank goodness Chris was there to catch him. After that, we couldn't get him out. He ducked his head under the water and blew bubbles and tried to float and rode a float. He had a blast. And I would be remiss not to mention Caylah's fine jumping skills - she got up the nerve to jump off the side of the pool and I was really proud of her. We are just truly blessed from God with two wonderful children, and I thank Him every day.

It's Official....He's a US Citizen

As of May 12, 2008 Noah is officially a US Citizen! The judge signed all the paperwork, now he is a citizen and he is officially Noah Eyob Wyatt!! To celebrate we took him out for pizza (his favorite food) and then we got him these cute flags and got his picture. What a happy day!!!
