A typical Noah expression:

Our 17 month old loves to laugh! He "runs" around doing laps looping through the kitchen, dining room, den, and back down the hallway to the kitchen. He giggles all day. Fletcher and Sarah especially love playing with him right now. Both of his oldest siblings give him special attention everyday, catering to his favorite activities and taking care of his every need. Fletcher is often getting Noah set-up to play with his singing Elmo and other musical toys. Fletchie also insists that only he can get Noah up from his nap when he thinks Noah is due to wake up.
Sarah is always scooping her littlest brother up and twirling him around, tickling him and giggling with him. She is quick to help him by changing his diapers, getting him dressed, and playing games with him. Tommy likes that his little brother is now able to "chase" him around the loop of the first floor rooms. They run giggling chasing each other while Tommy purposely bumps into Noah knocking him down repeatedly.
Noah doesn't have the full-blown Tommy pterodactyl screech that his bigger brother had at this age, but he does screech quite a bit to get what he wants. One of the things we hear Noah screech for the most often is cereal! Noah is JUST like his bigger brothers in that the boy puts down some SERIOUS cereal every morning and would eat it for snack any other time of the day, as well.
This is the exhausted state that Paris was in just 10 minutes after I picked her up after her slumber party with Rachel. She was asleep within 15 minutes of walking in the door.
The kids just barely tolerated me taking their picture after church on Sunday. It caused Paris to dissolve into a pool of tears. Within a few hours, poor Parie woke up from her nap with a stomach virus, her second in three weeks. Luckily, three episodes later she was feeling much better.
