Amalah's Got Talent

August 17, 2007

But not as much as her kid, who is clearly ready to cut a demo.



Twinkle twinkle...sort of from amalah and Vimeo.

(Please note that you should never put your barely suppressed stage mother tendencies ahead of your child's physical safety. Wow. That's some gooooood parenting right there.)

(Also good parenting: the absolute and very last diaper in the entire house is the one currently on my sleeping child's butt. That's gonna be a FANTASTIC post-nap jaunt to the store, let me tell you.)

Um, I never buckled my kids in. Probably because I was always right there, but, um, people actually buckle them in?

Also, he's got the melody down, man.

OMG. He is edible.

Posted by: Avalon | August 17, 2007 at 02:30 PM

He is so cute...its almost like you can catch a glimpse of what heartbereaker teenage Noah looks like in there. and keep posting about his speech and stuff. you are really helping a lot of people by being so honest and open about your experience.

OMG. He is edible.

Posted by: Avalon | August 17, 2007 at 02:31 PM

are you kidding, FIRST?!!!? TOO cute, love it:)

Posted by: Kiki | August 17, 2007 at 02:31 PM

whoops should known better, not first, Thanks for the video:)

Posted by: Kiki | August 17, 2007 at 02:33 PM

I LOVE his hair. Baby/toddler curls are the best.

He's so cute.

Posted by: Michelle | August 17, 2007 at 02:36 PM

Hee! CUTE.

Posted by: jive turkey | August 17, 2007 at 02:39 PM

From what I heard on the recording, he's got perfect pitch. That's pretty rare. I'd encourage him with it.

Posted by: Dana | August 17, 2007 at 02:40 PM

that is super sweet - and he carries a pretty good tune.
bless his little heart.

Posted by: becks | August 17, 2007 at 02:55 PM

Personally, I think ALL songs sound better when you substitute "mama" or "dada" for the lyrics.

As for the diaper? Yeah, that sucks.

Posted by: Starbuck | August 17, 2007 at 02:56 PM

I LOVE him! :) GREAT singing. And, I love your kitty -- who I spotted walking by in the video! My monkey ALWAYS tries to stand up in her chair. It's one of her favourite ways of getting a rise out of me (which she LOVEs to do).... ;)

Posted by: Haley-O | August 17, 2007 at 02:58 PM

Is it wrong that I purposely teach my kids to sing songs with my name in them?
Do they really need to know that the show isn't called "Mommy Einstein?"

I think Noah sings it perfectly.

Posted by: Kate | August 17, 2007 at 03:03 PM

Hahaha! That's a good one for the Internet. So true.

He's adorable. *muah*

Have fun on that diaper jaunt.

Posted by: Kyla | August 17, 2007 at 03:03 PM

Dude, singing? Seriously? And in tune, even! I'm going to have to get on the stick with Payton cause he's two weeks older than Noah and does nothing of the sort.

I agree that all songs sound better with "Mama" substituted for the lyrics!

Posted by: Cara | August 17, 2007 at 03:03 PM

I love that he knows the tune . . .I think the song sounds great! My ten year old still has no clue what the tune is to "It's A Small World"

Posted by: Ryan | August 17, 2007 at 03:21 PM

Wow! I'm so impressed! He's got the melody down EXTREMELY well, esp. for such a young little dude!
Love the lyrics and the interpretive dance moves towards the end as well. You GO Noah!! Cut that demo! Your Mama's (and YOUR) fans would totally buy it!! :)

Posted by: Liana | August 17, 2007 at 03:23 PM

Oh my god. That's amazing. NikkiZ has not concept of singing. I blame her genes. And can I tell you how many times I've forgotten to buckle her in? heh.

Posted by: Zoot | August 17, 2007 at 03:25 PM

I loved the little jaunty dance to the first round!

Posted by: BRash | August 17, 2007 at 03:26 PM

Noah totally nailed it!

Posted by: Maria | August 17, 2007 at 03:27 PM

he's got pitch! he's got rhythm! i know an agent!

Posted by: bananie | August 17, 2007 at 03:32 PM

Oh my goodness, SO CUTE! And really, what a great voice! I can't believe he's on pitch and everything!

Posted by: Helloheather | August 17, 2007 at 03:34 PM

Nice! Did you have to bribe him to get it out of him? Mine is so stubborn, she won't ever perform for anyone else.
Noah is a total heartbreaker, by the way.

Posted by: Rebecca | August 17, 2007 at 03:38 PM

Bravo Noah!

Amy - lick him for me.

Posted by: Ree the Hotfessional | August 17, 2007 at 03:41 PM

THAT. IS. PRECIOUS!!!!!

Posted by: MMM | August 17, 2007 at 03:43 PM

Delurking to say that is about the darn cutest kid ever! The blond curls. I'm melting. Seriously.

Posted by: nikki | August 17, 2007 at 03:44 PM

oh... I just wanna squeeze him!

Posted by: Colleen | August 17, 2007 at 03:45 PM

SO cute! And kissable!! How do you stand it? :-)

I wish I lived close enough to you to help in your diaper emergency--I stock up with gigantic boxes from Sam's Club and I start getting the shakes when there's one "sleeve" (like, 44 diapers) left. Because my God, what do we do if daycare needs more diapers, and we only have the one sleeve?? What will we use at home? WE WILL BE DIAPERLESS! MUST BUY MORE DIAPERS!! (yeah, I'm a tad bit on the Type A side. . .)

Speaking of, we're getting awfully close to that last sleeve. . . there is a Sam's Club expedition in my near future, I can feel it.

Hugs & kisses to Noah! He made my Friday afternoon.

Posted by: Tara | August 17, 2007 at 03:47 PM

Holy smokes that kid can sing! Seriously, my nephew who is 3 weeks older than Noah has no concept of pitch. And my dad is a choir director! All we get is ROW! ROW! ROW! ROW! ROW! (your boat). He even picked up right where you left off when you prodded him into singing again. Truly impressive!

Posted by: Mandee | August 17, 2007 at 03:54 PM

Seriously the fact that he picked up right where you left off is extremely smart. That is amazing! I was so impressed.

I would buy his record!

And I didn't even know those things came with buckles!

Posted by: Sha | August 17, 2007 at 03:59 PM

That may be the funniest thing you have ever posted. I love the wig out at the end, the busting out of the chair, and mostly? His t-shirt.

Posted by: Kari | August 17, 2007 at 04:06 PM

The melody is PERFECT! He's amazing!

Posted by: Christie | August 17, 2007 at 04:10 PM

oh my he is awesome. I love the transition from singing perfectly on key to wigging out at the end.

Posted by: jen | August 17, 2007 at 04:14 PM

Michael saw the video and said Noah singing. And I lov the shirt.

Posted by: jodi | August 17, 2007 at 04:37 PM

First off, this totally makes me want another tasty baby.

Second, my cats are just transfixed, both clamoring onto my lap to watch the "computer baby" which is what my 7 year old calls Noah, whom he says is "cute."

I agree.

Posted by: Stacy | August 17, 2007 at 04:43 PM

New catch phrase: "That's a good one for the internet!" LOVE it.

Also, I concur with the others about Noah's pitch. I mean, what the hell? Kids don't usually sing that well at that age, I don't think. Or do they?

Posted by: Jezer | August 17, 2007 at 04:44 PM

Seriously? Adorable. So adorable, my teeth are rotting.

Posted by: Cassandra | August 17, 2007 at 04:44 PM

Looks like when he was saying "Dada", he was saying helicopter and doing the sign for it. :D

Is he already watching the signing videos? We love ours!

Posted by: little miss mel | August 17, 2007 at 04:49 PM

My daughter and I just watched him together...

I loved the singing. She loved the escaping.

Posted by: Alison | August 17, 2007 at 04:51 PM

My 4 yr. old wanted to watch that 3 times--and then I told him we had to stop. And now my 19 mo. old is singing that for me! Very nice to hear! Thanks for sharing that, it was too cute. (And the 19 mo. old is a parrot, so no surprise he'd copy Noah too.)

Posted by: tina | August 17, 2007 at 04:56 PM

So, I read your blog often but never comment because I'm like that BUT I will break the silence to say that he is THE CUTENESS.

Posted by: Jen | August 17, 2007 at 05:01 PM

I think my mom used to do that to us, stop us from saying "Dada" (in my case "Cookie") and encourage us to say "mama."

Well played, to both of you!

Posted by: WonderSpot | August 17, 2007 at 05:15 PM

He is the sweetest boy ever!

Posted by: Ginny | August 17, 2007 at 05:18 PM

holy smokes. your baby is a little boy! ARGH!

Posted by: shy me | August 17, 2007 at 05:22 PM

Your son could be one of those musical director people, his hand motions were perfect in time with his singing. :) He's so cute.

I pretty much never buckle my daughter into the highchair.

Posted by: Marisa | August 17, 2007 at 05:53 PM

He? Is absolutely edible.

Posted by: Angella | August 17, 2007 at 05:55 PM

Oh he's so cute, strapped in or not.

And that shirt!!!! I must get one. Off to Google "sippy cup sommelier"...

Posted by: Jennifer | August 17, 2007 at 06:00 PM

How can I possibly continue to lurk in the presence of such deliciousness?

I cannot. Noah has crushed my lurky resolve.

He is so stinkin' adorable.

Posted by: boomama | August 17, 2007 at 06:14 PM

I know I've said this before, but my kid...totally loves your kid. He cracked up when Noah started spazzing out near the end. (It's the laugh he reserves for special moments, like when someone gets hurt.) Also, after the video was over, he started saying "aball". And then tried to stab me in the eyes with a pencil.

Posted by: AmyM | August 17, 2007 at 06:30 PM

Quite obviously brilliant, musical genius and that sense of humour? How about mama? " dada-dada" cracks me up! He most certainly is glorious.
