Happy 3rd Birthday Noah

I cant believe my little munchkin is growing up so fast. 3 years ago today we met you for the first time and this is an experience we will not forget. You are so very special to us and everyday you make us smile for one reason or another, whether it is your cheeky grin, the love you have for your brother, when you are trying to help us up making a straining noise but not putting any effort into helping us up or just being there.

How much you have grown in this last year. By this I don't mean up in fact you have only grown 5 cms over this period however small is beautiful after all. So you now weigh 26lb 8 oz and you are 83cm in height.

During your 3rd year you started at Green Lane nursery, we had a few weeks of tears from both mummy and Noah as we had not been separated for any long period of time before. However after two weeks you were travelling to nursery on the bus and you couldn't wait to get on and waive good bye to us in fact some days you didn't bother waiving at all you just wanted to go. And I couldn't wait for you to be dropped off by the bus as I missed you so much. You loved all of the kind ladies there that played with you. You loved playing with the farm, singing songs and swimming.

You continued to practise your walking which you had accomplished in your second year and this then turned into running and then we couldn't stop you.

Dec 07 You were in the Birmingham Mail for the first time, but not the last.

Feb 08 You breastfed for the last time, which you decided you didn't need it anymore from your mummy you had become independent.

March 08 We all went to Devon on holiday, mummy, daddy, noah, nanny, Uncle John and Matt and Aunty Jo and Cate.

April 08 You moved into your own bed

Between this time you had your first ever stop over at Nanny's house all on your own while mummy and daddy went off to London for the weekend.

June 08 You participated in a Sponsored Walk in Down Syndrome Awareness Week.

July 08 You celebrated mummy's 30th Birthday. We went to see Mary Poppins. You left nursery.

August 08 You missed going to nursery, you played a lot and wore mummy out.

Sept 08 Was hectic, you made friends with your new baby brother Finley, you started pre-school. We were awarded local hero through the Birmingham Mail and appeared in the Birmingham Mail again.
You had a hearing aid fitted.


Oct 08 You met Jason Donovan at the Botanical Garden and was in the paper again.
You continued to do really well at pre-school and made lots of friends. You learned to be very gentle with Finley. You developed a love for Big Cook, Little Cook and In the Night Garden after mummy started to let you watch Cbeebies.

I have started Noah's montage for his 3rd Year but I haven't managed to finish it yet. I will post it as soon as I can.

We would just like to say a big thank you to family, friends, all of Noah's teachers and everyone at pre-school for your help with Noah throughout the year. He is doing well and this is all thanks to everyone of you.

Also if you are reading this blog then thank you for supporting me, I hope that you all enjoy it and please post comments if you wish as it would be nice to hear from anyone that reads Noah's Smile.

Aims for Noah's 4th year well I hope that you become potty trained and are out of nappy's. Although you use the potty and have done since you were 6 month old you haven't managed to tell me you need the potty.
You manage to start using a knife and fork and feed yourself.
The most important aim I wish for you Noah is that you continue being happy.
