another month of fun

It's been about a month since my last post - I guess blogging just isn't my priority these days. :)

This past month, Noah participated in the Lima Symphony Orchestra's Family Concert. He was in Symphony Singers, a group from Heritage Arts Magnet (his school).

Josiah and I also took Noah for a "day of fun." Noah got to pick all of our activities and the only conditions were that we had to stay in Lima, Josiah had to come with us and we had to be home by 3:30. Noah chose roller skating, a trip to Toys R Us (to spend Christmas and birthday money) and Chuck E. Cheese's. Roller skating was a bit difficult since he is still learning and with Josiah along, I couldn't skate to help him. But he kept at it and by the time we left, he had improved quite a bit. Unfortunately, the pictures didn't turn out all that great - I'm still learning how to use my new camera. :)


This past month also had quite a few snow days and lots of Wii time. Noah is really into Super Mario Bros. right now, which reminds me of the hours and hours that Bryan and I used to spend trying to save the princess. Noah also started piano again and is starting to realize that because of piano lessons, he knows all the answers in music class. He was excited to tell us that he was the only kid in his class that knew what a quarter rest and whole rest was. His midterm report was excellent as usual and we are trying to find new ways to challenge him as he continues to claim that school is boring and he never learns anything. He's currently reading "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and looking forward to seeing the movie when it comes out in a couple weeks.

Josiah is now 3 months old and randomly sleeps through the night. Most nights he wakes up once or twice still to have a snack but always goes right back to sleep. He still sleeps quite a bit during the day as well, but is much more active and still loves watching Noah and his many antics. Josiah is all smiles and is cooing and talking up a storm. He is a very happy baby. :) He is now 12lbs. and 2' tall, moving him up on the charts a bit (25th percentile instead of 10th!) I've managed to keep up with my 365 days of Josiah project and you can really see how he is growing and just how happy he is.
