Noey, Age 2

Happy birthday Noey!

And just like that, my baby is 2!

We've had a busy couple of weekends (and weeks) with Noey 2 birthday parties -- the first with the dear Oct Babies the previous Saturday, and then with his own party on Saturday.

It's been a couple of weeks of nostalgia as I try to grasp the thought that my baby is a little man now. It hit me particularly hard when DD and I came across some old videos of Noey taken about a year ago while DD was archiving stuff from his computer. (It was not a moment too soon actually becuase a couple of days later that computer crashed and while we managed to revive it, it seems rather wonky.) I just can't believe he's grown so much in a year. It was particularly funny watching the recordings of his first few words and snapping back to the present where he is constructing never-ending sentences with his favourite word, "and".

From a wee baby to the wonderful, noisy, loving bundle of energy that he is now. Thank Lord for blessing us over these 2 years!

More birthday updates in a bit!

Noey: What's the deal with that, Jie jie Sophie? It's just some M&Ms!
Sophie tries to stop Noey from cleaning out all the M&Ms from the top of the cake.

As you can tell from his all-too-blue lips, Noey managed to scoff down a good many despite Sophie's best efforts!
