Three month anniversary!

Wow, can you believe it?  We've had the little guy three months now!!!  It's amazing to think how far we've come!  I have a real difficult time trying to comprehend how different his life (and our lives) was just three months ago.  I often wonder what's going on in that little noggin of his ... other than how to get in trouble next!  Noah doesn't say much in Chinese now and his English is really coming along.  Look at the difference from these pictures from China when we got him in March and the later ones.






He's also gotten used to preschool and really enjoys his time there!  Of course he doesn't get the concept of sharing and thinks the teacher and everything belongs to him!  Even though he started just three weeks ago in preschool, he got to participate in the graduation.  It was kind of strange sitting there watching all these little kids and realizing that he's probably one of the better ones (even if we say say ourselves) since he's standing on his spot behaving and not crying or running away.

We've discovered that Noah is very inquisitive.  He really gets in the middle of things to see what's happening and learns things after seeing it once.  I can't leave anything out as he'll get into it and start doing stuff.  Nancy's cousin Crystal brought up a take apart plane this weekend.  After using the toy drill to dismantle and reassemble the plane, he began doing over and over again.  It was amazing that he knew how to change the drill bits for the different screws and bolts and to reverse the bit direction as needed for clockwise or counterclockwise!

Anyway, here are some update pictures!

Noah the painter!

Got his cool helmet on and ready to tear down the street on his bike!

Exploring in the yard and trying to figure out why there's a snail on his hand!


Now there's two puppies in the house!

Hard at work on some craft!

Noah got tired of waiting one day so he decided to help mom bake blueberry bars!

  1. I love all the new (and old) photos! It seems like everything is settling down into something more normal? Now I know I can put Noah to work next time he is visiting...we have some stuff he can screw on and off and some snails that need to be hunted in the yard. :)
