a BALL! a BALL! BALL BALL BALL etc.

May 04, 2007

Believe it or not, I have real thoughts. And opinions. About things! And I would like nothing more in the world than to spend some time putting these thoughts and opinions (about things! actual real-life things!) into words. Sentences even.

But Noah won't take a nap. He screamed in his crib for a very long time, and when I poked my head in to make sure everything was okay he put his arms out for me and did this breathing-in sobby thing, and I am sorry, but YOU try being a Nap Hardass when YOUR kid does the breathing-in sobby thing. I'm out.

So instead of my words about things,* I present a few of Noah's words about things.

Noah Talks from amalah

(We really have unpacked all the boxes, more or less. That's our new patio furniture (from Target, of course) that was just delivered this week. Okay, maybe last week. Okay, maybe you just need to quit with the judging right now.)

*Things that may or may not include whether we should do Clomid again and/or just how much turkey bacon one person can consume in one day before it's considered excessive.

Great, now my boobs are leaking.

Wait was that tacky?

Sorry, cutest kid ever though!

You CANNOT go wrong with turkey bacon.

(Also cursing my feed reader for not telling me about this earlier *shakes fist in general direction of Google*)

Woah.
You two are perfect.
(You have to eat excessive amounts of turkey bacon because the package can only be saved for, like, one week after it has been opened, so as long as you don't eat TWO packages...)

I also am now singing "a ball...ballballball" over and over again.

I can't handle all the cuteness!

Good grief, I think that video made me ovulate and I am *too* old for more kids! Hopefully it will somehow make my daughter-in-law ovulate as well and I can have a play baby without all the sleepless nights.
Seriously, Clomid and turkey bacon sandwiches for every meal. Your little man is absolutely adorable.

lol your video reminded me of this baby for some reason: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2025236363

i think my tubes just untied. noah is just the sweetest and the preshusest !! the 1 piece coveralls just kill me. they should make them in real people sizes, cuz i'd have 'em in every color.

I. LOVE. NOAH. For reals. And YOU get to have him!

Kaitlyn has lots of words too, but when I aim a camcorder at her and ask her to tell me what something is, she looks at me like "what? if you don't know what that is, I'M not going to tell you!"

P.S. I gave you an award on my blog, I hope you'll stop by and see what it is :)

Okay, is it just me, or is that a baby Muppet voice I hear? Jim Henson and Co... Watch out!

Posted by: Erin | May 05, 2007 at 05:16 AM

My 21 month old loved it! He was in the living room screaming because his meanie big sister wouldn't let him sit on her bean bag. So I brought him in to watch Noah. He was all "Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh. Oh. Ball! Hee!" Yay! Noah saves the day! He is now my Buggy's BFF.

You know what I love? The fact that I CAN see the video at work. You know what I hate? That I can't access your blog at work. Thus meaning NO COMMENTS FROM ME. Which, I'm sure, you hate.

And um Clomid?? Hot topic. Let's hear more.

Does he say "Look mom" at about 31 seconds in? (As in, "Look, Mom, a ball!")

Posted by: anna | May 05, 2007 at 01:07 PM

What a cutie pie!! I loved the little high pitched baby voice. But what I liked best was how, without looking away from the camera, he just sits down, scoots his butt, and goes right down that one little stair, stands up and keeps going. So great.

Good luck with whatever you decide on the Clomid! You have such a beautiful family!

Michael has that same gymboree romper!

Posted by: jodi | May 05, 2007 at 01:56 PM

I love how his voice rises at the end of saying "A ball!" like, duh mom.

And was that a little burp at the end? Rockin'!

P.S. He looks SO much like you it's unbelievable. CUUUUUUUUTE!

Posted by: samantha jo campen | May 05, 2007 at 03:20 PM

Such a cute little dude!

And I totally think you should pop some Clomid, though I admit I say so seeking a vicarious-ART thrill, and knowing that I don't have to deal with the Clomid-batsh*t-crazies. Best of luck with this--I'm so sorry it's still an issue.

Posted by: Jen | May 05, 2007 at 03:39 PM

Oh, honey...if all future posts are as gloriously wonderful as that, you don't need to write another word! Thanks for the smiles (and the wonderful memories!)

Posted by: Kat | May 05, 2007 at 07:30 PM

This is so incredibly cute. My kids (6 & 8) were mesmerized!

Posted by: Ruth Dynamite | May 05, 2007 at 08:21 PM

That's it. My daughter is officially the least talkative child ever. How did Noah learn CAR? And train? And truck? Will mine learn that next month? PLEASE?

Also - so cute.

Posted by: Zoot | May 05, 2007 at 08:34 PM

I don't know how you feel about Noah dating an older woman, but my 3 year old asked if Noah would be her boyfriend.

Posted by: Laura | May 05, 2007 at 09:21 PM

No one would accuse the kid of not thoroughly answering a question.

Posted by: BOSSY | May 06, 2007 at 12:26 PM

God, I love your child. So preshus!

Posted by: JP | May 06, 2007 at 01:46 PM

=( my 19 month old daughter still staunchly refuses to talk...she was Awah (Aurora the dog) and Ni (night as in bed) and she signs hungry adn juice and gentle and dog...but does NOT talk...
I hope mine will that preshus when she does
PS Yes to the Clomid

Noah is adorable!

There is no such thing as too much bacon.
