Noah

* I was born in Los Gatos, California on New Years Day 2007. As of May 2010, that makes me 3.5 (almost).

* I was almost a 'Sam', but a few days after I arrived, they thought I looked like a Noah. Hence my name, Noah Sam. Mom really wanted my name to be Noah *Sur* though (after her favorite place on Earth, Big Sur, CA)

* I weighed in at 7 lbs, 7 oz, at 7:07 pm.

* I am ALL B-O-Y. If it wiggles, fixes something, is slimy or smelly, digs a hole, has scales, fur, or not-yet-identified outer layer or otherwise makes mom shriek like a girl, I'm all over it.

* I love projects.

* I especially love projects with my dad.

* My project this morning involved finding every rope in the house, boat and garage, looping them together, and seeing how far around the exterior of the house they would wrap.

* I love to negotiate.

* I feel A LOT and am excellent at identifying and articulating those feelings (I'm frustrated / disappointed / there's a long list here).

* I use adverbs (MUCH to the delight of my Journalism-background mother)! Okay this line item really was just for me.

* I am generally VERY happy and like talking to people.

* I still take a 2-3 hour nap some days.

* I am a commit-a-phobe. I totally know how to use the toilet, all the time, but will only commit to a meager "I'm still learning" assessment of ability.

* I love my little bro, usually. My sweet hugs can QUICKLY turn into python squeezes, though, when mom is not looking. Especially if he is going after one of my projects. His little digits are still too small to be missed.

* Mom hopes to create one of these pages for each of us. Heh. Wonder if that will happen!
