Just pretend I've been blogging all along...these 2 months I've not. Basically been a single mom (wouldn't recommend it) in Jonesboro for 6 weeks, so typing out my life story hasn't been top priority. Since moving the last weekend in March, I've battled a couple of colds, 2 more teeth coming in, several bad storms (fearing all along that the dead tree in the back yard could come crashing down and land on the neighbor's house), and the onset on severe separation anxiety. You think it's bad, and then the next day comes and it's worse. He has a near-death experience every time I leave his field of vision, that is, unless his grandparents are around...and then he could care less if I'm around. We were in Olive Branch this past weekend and several times, he chose Grandmother over me. Boo-hoo. Except I got to go running and he didn't care!!
So, life in Jonesboro is great. I'm missing Adam horribly while he studies his little tail off -- he's never going to want to go back to Cafe Express again after this month. And I can't wait to go visit my friends in Dallas. But all-in-all, Jonesboro is a very nice place and I'm glad we picked to live here. Our house is big and empty, but that will get better with time :) The best part is living an hour from my mom and dad. I can't even count how many times we've gotten to see them since we moved in! Noah just loves seeing them, it's so fun to watch him get excited about going in Grandmother & Papa's garden. He LOVES birds and airplanes and anything else that may be overhead...trees, etc.
We're not walking yet, but soon, I feel. He's cruising around on thi
s little truck thing at lightning speed and going from table to couch to leg to table again...and never missing a step. When he gets to a cabinet or door facing or a human leg or whatever is in his way, the little devil just bangs it until he gets it turned the right direction and goes off on his merry way. We went to our friend Wes' birthday party this past weekend and he got a fantastic new Tonka ride-on toy that Noah just loved...hence, we now have one. I'm a sucker. But I do think he's going to use it for a long time b/c William (Wes' older brother) was very interested in it, too, and he's 3. Justification of a new toy. Do I really need to do that?

I promise myself to be more consistent in my blogging so I can REMEMBER this time!! The days keep flying by and Noah is getting so big and so smart and so coordinated...it seems like only a couple of months ago, he was a tiny, helpless newborn. It amazes me everytime he does something new. I know all kids talk and walk and do things like grow up...but it somehow seems extra special when Noah does it :)
