Baby Snap

Last weekend my sister Stephanie visited, bearing gifts - my mom had fallen victim to all the news stores that recently opened there =). So, Evie got several cute outfits and Noah got a couple toys - some more Thomas tracks and a Ty beanie baby Miniature Schnauzer puppy. Of course Noah loved the tracks. He and daddy have a good time rearranging them as much as is possible on the small table they're on. But he didn't seem that interested in the beanie baby. I didn't think he would be b/c he already has some stuffed animals and doesn't really care for them.

But yesterday, he started carrying it around everywhere. He calls it Baby Snap and is MUCH more gentle with the fake dog than the real one. I mean, poor Snap. It's a good thing dogs are loyal b/c a cat would hate Noah. A cat would also learn its lesson and hide - wouldn't keep coming back for more abuse. Anyway, Noah was petting Baby Snap all gentle and talking to him and including him in all his play. If he left him anywhere, he was all "Where's Baby Snap?!" and had to run and find him right away. While we were doing some reading in the morning, Noah was distracted for a bit while he examined all of Baby Snap. He turned him around and saw the Ty tag by the tail and then pointed to exactly where Snap's real bottom would be and told me all about how Snap goes potty.

When I got home from the Wellness Center I found them like this on the couch:

So he's cuddling w/both Snaps. How cute!

Still got a hold of Baby Snap.

Saturdays I make a breakfast lunch and here is Noah with his yummy waffle. When I first gave it to him, Noah shoved Baby Snap's face in there to share. I was too slow w/the camera to catch it though. But there it is, right next to him.

So today at church, in the second row (b/c Terry always has to make announcements and pray), Noah was playing with Baby Snap. In the middle of the sermon he held Baby Snap up to Terry, turned him around and pointed out, "Bottom - poop and pee come out." And of course, Noah is not very good at whispering yet... I'm not sure who heard but we thought it was quite funny, but mostly embarrassing. Funny boy.

Here's the real Snap hanging out in the back yard with us yesterday. His whiskers and beard are looking so much better.
