This little dude is 7. I say little dude, because he is the only one of my kids to ever weigh in at under 8 pounds. He was 7 lbs 12 oz when he was born, which was more than 2 pounds lighter than Joel had been 2 years before. Noah was an easy delivery.
He has pretty much been easy from the day he was born. He would eat anything, sleep anytime, go anywhere. He was just such a happy baby. He started climbing as soon as he could crawl. He loves to climb, and will do so whenever an opportunity presents itself. When I buy new pants for Noah, I immediately iron some patches onto the inside knee of his pants. He eventually wears through the patches, but it gets us a couple months more wear out of the pants.
For Noah's birthday he got a great toy--the Evel and Robbie Knievel stunt set. Oh, yeah. This is the same wind-up motorcyle jump toy that we had when I was young. Those were the days. When he got it out and started cranking, the sound of it took me back to 1977 all over again. Mark couldn't believe it when we got the toy out of the box. He was having flashbacks, too to the boy across the street who had one of these toys and never let Mark play with it. Everyone wanted one of these back then. And everyone should want one now. A few good cranks can send Evel and Robbie across the entire basement over jumps and crashing through blocks. It's fun for the whole family!
