Noah has also become very selective (a nice way of saying picky!). He likes to drink from a certain cup, then later in the day it's a different cup he wants. He sometimes doesn't want to wear what I have picked out for him. He likes to go in the closet and choose the shirt. Noah got a Nike outfit for his b-day from Aunt Gwen. He wore the shirt morning, noon and night for 3 days straight. It had food on it, sand, dirt, got wet several times in his pool, but he only wanted that shirt. One day it was too hot at nap time to wear a shirt, so he had to sleep with it. Each time, I would stuff it further down the hamper and each time he found it and brought it to me trying to get it over his head. After the shirt he moved on to fleece footie PJ's....even on warm, sunny days, he took off his clothes and found the footie jammies and brought them to me saying "on." While in the car, he has to be holding a certain set of sunglasses (that certain set changes each time) and you have to go through each pair until you get it right. One night he had to wear the sunglasses to bed. He fell asleep with them on.
We've played hide and seek for months now, but now he is actually a good hider. Every now and then we will have that second of panic because we can't find him. He's not like most kids that giggle or let out a little noise when you call out "where is Noah hiding??" Nope-he is dead silent. We've found him in closets, in the bathroom tub, behind chairs...he's good! He is also hiding things so he can find them. A couple of times we have misplaced his sippy cup with milk-yikes! Thankfully, we always seem to find it after a few minutes. Noah enjoys helping to look for it. Now I will catch him hiding his milk under the ottoman. When I say "Noah, where is your milk?" He shrugs his shoulders and starts the search. Then he will look under the ottoman and pull it out with a great big smile. So proud that he found the missing milk! haha! Noah also loves to pretend to sleep or wake people up. He even makes a little snoring sound now.
It is amazing to watch him put things together and humbling to realize he is watching our every move. With having a puppy, I frequently have to clean up pee. The process is tell Ella "no!", get the spray, spray it, blot it up. I haven't had to do this for a couple of months now. One day we came in from outside to find that Ella had chewed some stuffing out of something. It was all over. He went over to her, said "No!" While I was picking it up, he went and got the spray, sprayed it on the stuffing, then got a towel from the kitchen and wiped it up. Very funny!
