Noah-4 Year Old Fun

Hi everyone!  I am FINALLY 4 years old!  I have been waiting forever to be 4, and on my birthday I asked my mom how long it would be until I was 5....oh boy :) A few days after my birthday, mommy and I visited Dr. Paulson for a checkup.  He asked me all sorts of '4-year old' questions like my address, phone number, etc.  The conclusion was that I have a little work to do :) I also got my hearing and vision checked, and I did awesome with those tests.  I had to get some shots this time around too, and I was NOT a fan of that.  Dr. Paulson told me I was done now though, and don't need any more until I am 11.  Whew. Here are my stats at age 4:

I hope there aren't shots!

Height: 41.5 inches (77th percentile)
Weight: 39 pounds (75th percentile)
Blood Pressure- Normal
BMI-15.9 (Normal)




Overall I am a healthy boy!  I am really starting to get independent now, and like to do most things on my own without help from mommy or daddy.  To keep the tradition going, mommy asked me about my 'favorites' on my birthday.  Here are a list of them:

Color: Blue
Food: Pizza
TV Show: Spiderman
Move: Monster's Inc.
Fruit: Apples
Vegetable: Corn
Song: Somebody that I used to Know by Gotye (I sing along using my own words, none of which match the actual lyrics)
Toy: My action figures (Spiderman, Batman and Superman)
Best Friend: Brady

Daddy's 1/2 Marathon/Visit to Grandma's

A few weeks ago, Daddy ran in the Fargo Half Marathon, so we all took a day off and went up there to cheer him on.  We also got to visit both sets of Grandparents while we were there, so it was a bonus trip :)  Noah and Mommy joined Grandma and Grandpa Owens up in Fargo to cheer daddy on (we had to leave at 6am, very early!) and Elliot stayed back and hung out at Uncle Travis and Auntie Jenny's house for the morning.  It was a crappy day (humid and rainy) but good weather for running.  After the race we all ate breakfast at Perkins, then mommy and daddy headed back to Breckenridge to pick up Elliot while Noah spend some time with Grandma and Grandpa Owens shopping in Fargo.

Memorial Day Weekend 2013

For Memorial Day this year, we once again met up with Uncle Travis, Auntie Jenny and all of our cousins at the Venetian Water Park in Maple Grove.  We of course had to make a pit stop at Urgent Care first though, because it just wouldn't be a holiday weekend without one :)  Elliot had a bad ear infection, but got some medicine to help him feel better so he could have a fun time also.  The doctor said that Elliot had to stay away from water, but we bought some ear plugs so he could join in the water park activities.  We all had a great time, and were very tired when the weekend was over.  We can't wait to go back again next year!

"Quick" visit to Urgent Care (2 plus hours
waiting time, but it was worth it)
