1.
He
was born almost 10 years ago, on March 28, 2004 on his mom’s 33rd
birthday. He is the best
birthday gift she ever got.
2.
He
has a big sister named Ellie who is in 7th grade, and a little
sister named Kaelin who is in 1st grade. He is a wonderful brother to both his sisters, and he loves
to play with them, especially when they make up plays and shows to entertain
the rest of the family. They recently made up their own version of the Winter Olympics and held a competition in the living room, complete with opening ceremonies, anthems, games, and an award ceremony.
3.
When
he was two he was really into playing his guitar, and he would drag it all over
the house singing songs like “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”. He has since moved
on to playing a Trombone which belonged to both his dad and grandpa.
4.
He
absolutely loves his dog, Colbie.
The two of them play together almost every day. Colbie roughhouses with Noah, chases
him around the yard, and even goes sledding with him by jumping on his back as
he goes down the hill.
5.
Noah
is a part of a very big family, many of them living nearby. He has almost 20 cousins (one aunt is
pregnant right now). Three of those
cousins are boys who are all within a year of Noah’s age. The four of them got to spend a lot of
time this past Christmas playing minecraft and having a sleepover at our house.
6.
In
the summer Noah loves to go down to Tom’s River where his grandparents have a
house. He spends a lot of time at
the ocean where he body boards, but his favorite part is riding on his Uncle
Jim’s boat and going tubing behind it.
7.
Unlike
his sisters, Noah has a taste for seafood. Where they won’t touch it, he loves to eat shrimp, fish, and
snack on seaweed. He is also
willing to try new foods, and usually ends up liking them.
8.
Noah
has been to several interesting places for vacation. We have gone to New England to a cabin on a lake, to
California to see the giant Redwoods, to North Carolina to the Outerbanks, to
Florida to visit Disneyworld, and most recently to Tennessee where he got to
see a camel eat a bucket. (We actually didn’t go to see a camel, but it was the
highlight of the trip for Noah and his sisters).
9.
Noah
attends New Life Church in Glenside where he is also part of a Boys Club. They have a pinewood derby every year,
and they also go on a camping trip where Noah gets to shoot a beebee gun, use a
slingshot, do archery and shoot off rockets, as well as play a LOT of Gaga.
10. Our family is so blessed to
have Noah be a part of us. He has
a great sense of humor, he is creative and thoughtful, and we love him very
much. We are excited to see him
grow and learn as he continues to mature into the young man he is meant to
be.
