What Noah's up to

It is really getting difficult keeping track of everything Noah's up to. It just seems that he learns so much and progresses daily! He knows almost all of his body parts (hair, head, eyes, nose, tongue, teeth, hands, belly button, toes). He will repeat anything you say and jabbers so much. I really feel there's very little we can't communicate to each other one way or another. You can pick out a recognizable word or two in each babbling sentence. None of it makes sense though. He walks into the pantry, grabs a box of Wheat Thins, brings them to us, and says "cracker". I'd say it's probably his clearest word that he says. He knows most of his animals, but still won't say the name, but only the sound it makes. He'll see a cat and say "meow" instead of cat. It's cute though. Noah also loves stacking blocks. We bought him a set for Christmas, but has just started using them correctly over the last month or two. He loves playing with older kids and loves to do everything they do. I wish I could think or more to report, but it seems that he's really sharpening his skills rather than learning a whole lot of new ones. I guess I can mention that he sleeps from about 8:00 or 9:00pm to 7:15am. Noah has also officially weaned himself. He stopped nursing at 14 months almost to the day.
