Other funny things that have happened over the last little bit:
In addition to his love of the "Lolax" Noah has taken quite a liking to "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. It used to be that he was obsessed with "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede and "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone off the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack but one day Tom brought home "Fight Song" from work and that has taken over. We listen to it multiple times a day now.
Another member couple named Brad and Alysha Gravatt moved in to our building about two months ago. Their parking spot is right outside our front door. As luck would have it the license plate on their car is dented and every time we pass it Noah says: "Someone broke that car! I will tell Brad and Lysha fix it!"
One day at lunch Noah was getting ready for his nap and he started saying "good night fruit snacks, good night, carrots, good night sandwich."
Last week Tom was changing Noah's diaper and Noah started crying out for Jesus to come help him because he didn't want to get his diaper changed. My heart melted!
We pulled out the Halloween decorations on Wednesday. We pulled out some fake cobwebs and some paper bats that we've used to decorate the walls. Noah got to put the bats on the wall and he was so proud. He kept saying: "The bats so pretty!" I had Tom put the cobwebs up after Noah went to bed and when he woke up the next morning Noah walked out into the living room and at first noted the cobwebs by calling them trash until Tom said "No, they're cobwebs." Now, to Noah, they are "scobwebs."
We've had an ant problem in our apartment all summer. Just this last week Noah has taken to saying "What are you doing in our house ant!" Whenever he sees one.
Noah also loves blowing raspberries whenever he sees a piece of exposed skin. This was no big deal until a few weeks ago when I was wearing a V-neck shirt and Noah unintentionally ended up motor boating me. It has now moved on to him shoving things down the back of my pants whenever I sit down. We're trying to nip this in the bud.
While Noah may look nothing like me he got a few of my personality traits one being that he really has a hard time when things don't always come easily to him. We've started to telling him that sometimes things take practice and that he just needs to be patient and keep trying and then he will learn to do them. Over the last little while we've heard a lot of "Keep Trying!!" and "No be patient!" when he is frustrated.
Tonight Noah was playing around by throwing my pajama pants on Tom's head. At one point he walked over to Tom (with the pants still on his head) and said "give me a hug!" and then grabbed Tom's head. We also went to help clean the church tonight and Noah loved helping me look for the trash and using the carpet sweeper.
On the Georgia front she is still growing and becoming more alert than ever which is at once a good thing and a not so good thing since she is now requiring a lot more work. We're hearing more and more laughs every day but still not giggles or anything more just like the occasional "heh!". There is a woman in Relief Society by the name of Julie though who adores G and always asks to hold her. Sunday she was holding her and I said "Just let me know when you want me to take her back." and Julie said "I'm going to need your phone number then." haha She really is a sweet lady.
As far as Tom goes, he got notification that his application for licensure was approved and that he is officially an independently licensed social worker! Woot! And it is coming with a pretty comfy raise from his work so we're not complaining. Now if we could just get rid of those pesky student loans...
Tom has also been digging "The Munsters" lately. Have you heard the song "Uma Thurman" by Fall Out Boy? They use this bridge repeatedly throughout the song. A little while ago I told him that it sounded familiar but I couldn't figure out where I had heard it. A while later he was listening to some "Halloween music" on iTunes and I heard the bridge so I said to Tom "That's Uma Thurman!" Turns out it was actually the theme music to "The Munsters" and Fall Out Boy just ripped it off for their song. It must have piqued Tom's interest though because he has been watching the old series and is enjoying it pretty well.
Sorry for the two long posts... This is why I need to do this more frequently rather than every two or three weeks!
