Noah's Baby

THIS IS NOT A POST ABOUT BABY NATHANAEL'S BIRTH, because well, HE ISN'T HERE YET!!!

Just like the lady from American Airlines informed me today as I was trying to buy tickets to come home in July, "Well, sir, we can't really issue a ticket for the infant because we need a name and a birth date and as of right now your son has neither."

Thank you so much.


Noah's Baby is different than Baby Nathanael. Baby Nathanael will be cute and warm and have fluids shooting out of him (.....er... TMI???). Noah's Baby is small and plastic and is cleaner and sleeps through the night.

Noah, as we all have, has gone a bit baby crazy these past weeks. This has manifested itself in different ways: Noah making us read the "I am a big brother book" over and over and over again, Noah chasing after strollers in public places screaming "BABY! BABY!! BABY!!, or our personal favorite, Noah kissing mommy's tummy. We realized the pinnacle of this baby madness last night when we were at some friends house who have 2 girls. These girls have dolls. Noah LOVED the baby dolls. That is right. My son is in to baby dolls......you wanna take this outside? Back off.

Anyway, we thought since Nathanael is dragging his feet that we ought to get Noah his own baby in this "pre-Nathanael tension" we've been living in so we could practice being nice to the baby and loving the baby and, when Nathanael finally gets here, Noah will have his own baby.

So we went to the store and picked up a very nice, masculine baby doll. NOAH WAS TOTALLY STOKED!!! The cashier took it out of the package to give it to him, because Noah's attachment. The whole way home all Noah did was kiss his baby and pat his baby and love his baby. His baby doll's name is Noah's Baby.

Then we got home. We rode up the elevator and got to our door. Noah then turns and chunks Noah's Baby down the flight of stairs!!

Then later today we found Noah's Baby face down in the dryer with the door shut!

Nathanael is doomed!

However tonight at the mall Noah and Noah's Baby were in the mall and Noah kept showing Noah's Baby to all the women that passed.

So Noah is a very proud, but very abusive parent.

Funny thing, Morgan throws her baby on the floor too, just after kissing it. We often see the baby doll flying across the car while traveling... not a good parent either.. oh! those 2 have so much in common! Can't wait to be closer! Praying for you B!
