Noah You're 2!

How on earth has that little (debatable) wrinkly baby I brought home from the hospital 2 years ago, turned into such a kind, caring and rumbustious toddler? It's inconceivable how much he has changed, and I couldn't be more appreciative of what a delightful little boy he is. He has come on leaps and bounds in the past year and I love nothing more than discussing this with you all.

Speech
Something I never had to worry about, because I never shut up, I knew it would be absurd to think I'd have a quiet and shy little boy. Noah is a chatterbox and can now say much bigger sentences such as 'one more time please' when he really wants another song or to watch another video of himself back. He remembers his manners and exercises them well, 'Please Mama' 'Thanks Daddy' and is more than familiar with the word 'No'. I have absolutely no worries with his communication and language and often find myself in awe. For example Noah saying 'Good Morning' to people in the street, a little old man was in amazement and stopped to shake his hand and call him a fine young gentleman. He does make me proud.

Toddler Gift Guide - The Ordinary Moments

So as Noah has both his birthday and Christmas coming up in the next 7 weeks, this is a really appropriate post as I have spent months trying to absorb as much information from fellow bloggers on what on earth to get him. Some of it is easy, as I know my son and what he enjoys, but I also want to get him toys that are going to stretch his development too. Shopping for presents is such an ordinary moment, but now it's for my son, makes it extraordinary and I absolutely love nothing more. So, here are some of the presents that will be wrapped ready for Noah next month, which may help if you're struggling for ideas.
