Who's a clever girl then???!!!

Noah on his birthday at Nursery - Hanging out with his friend Thomas K! Looks like they are ready to go to the pub to celebrate Noah's birthday with a pint!
One of Noah's TWO Thomas Birthday cakes - Special thanks to Uncle John and Daddy for helping Mummy so that we were only up til 11pm icing the 2 of them!

Noah opening his gift from Mummy and Daddy on his birthday - it was a Thomas the Tank bag for nursery! Notice the wrapping paper - anyone picking up on a theme here??
Well everybody I have been trying to blog for weeks but don't seem to ever get chance! Everytime I sit down to do it SOMEONE is demanding a drink, a nappy change or feed or all three! The kids are pretty demanding too! Anyway a few little updates from last blog. Hannah is now 11 weeks old!! She is a very contented little girl and has made her Mummy very happy as she slept through the night at 81/2 weeks (March 28th) and has slept through ever since! She is also a very smiley little girl although we struggle to get a photo of her smiling. We are not sure but we think that she has started reaching out for her toys. She loves watching her older brother and sister and their antics and they are more than happy to perform for her! Hannah also laughed for the first time on April 11th but dispite all mine and David's efforts we haven't managed to make her laugh since! Another first for Hannah is that she went swimming with her brother and sister on Tuesday April 17th - its safe to say as with the rest of the Stott family she loves it!
Of course the big news for Noah is that he just celebrated his 2nd Birthday. He was thrilled to have both his cousins Ollie and Emma there to celebrate with him as well as Aunty Rachael, Uncle Adam AND Uncle John from Canada. He was very honoured to have Uncle John there as uncle John came back just in time from Ireland for his birthday - couldn't do that to celebrate his sister's birthday just a few days before Noah's however - which by the way John has been noted and NEVER going to be forgotten (or forgiven for that matter - now an expensive bottle of red would have changed all that!!!!) Anyway can anyone spot the theme for Noah's birthday??? Mummy was very busy making 2 cakes one for home and one for nursery. Noah is a very loving big brother and wants to cuddle Hannah all the time. He also shares his trains with her - an honour indeed- however he is a little miffed that she doesn't fully appreciate them as she just sits and looks at them she doesn't hold them. We have told him that she can't hold things yet but he just doesn't get it. Other Noah news - His daddy tried to take him to get his haircut just before Easter but he outright refused having a major tantrum in the barber shop. Mummy took him the next week and there was no problem - score one for mummy! Noah also has joined Tumbletots - a gymnastics for toddlers on Monday - he wasn't keen at first but started to come round near the end of the session. I'm sure in a few more weeks he will be loving it and climbing over all sorts!
Ellie has had two weeks off for Easter holidays - she goes back on the 23rd April. She is loving school and doing really well. She made her mummy very proud as she read a very difficult and long reading at her class assembly for Mother's Day. She also held up a beatiful picture of her mummy and said that her mummy was special because I gave her a brother and a sister!


Last but not least the children are all excited (well the older two anyway) as we have acquired a ride on train (see photo of Noah on it!) I'm sure it will bring them hours of fun and Uncle Mark next door really fancies a go too!
Anyway folks I'm going to post this as it has taken ages to write and it takes forever to put up pictures so I'm going to do it while I've got the chance! By the way we will be going to Canada on July 17th David to follow on August 3rd to the 20th hopefully I will get to meet up with everybody and introduce you to the newest Stott family member!

I'll tell ya, Mark isn't the only one jealous of that ride on train! John and I could only dream of toys like that. It's nice to see Ellie and Noah getting along so well with Hannah. I hope all is well over there and I can't wait to see you all in the summer again.

Well I finally got to seethe blog.What a great picture Ellie drew of her Mommy .Ilove all the colours in Mommy' hair.Her comments about why her Mommy was so special brought tears to her Nanny's eyes.
WOW!!!!!!!!! Noah must be so happy having his very own train to ride on ,I know he is such a good sharer that he will let both his sisters play with it also.What a fantastic gift to the family.
Hannah looks wonderful.She sounds just as contented as her Mommy was at that same age.

Wow! So many pictures and a huge write up too, all those people who said having loads of kids was a busy lifestyle must be wrong :) It will be great to see you this summer. We'll have to plan early to get it on my increasingly full calendar. Think of you often,
Andrea

Here I try again to leave a comment!!
Love the smiles Hannah!! Love the train Noah (Ollie is allready talking about taking his turn with it) and definitely love the picture of Ellie's Mum....I think Ellie's version may be even more beautiful than the real thing!!
Looking forward to seeing you all this summer in Ollie's "new house". Hopefully Ellie can keep Noah and Ollie under control in the big kids bedroom from her viewpoint on the bunk bed!!
A Happy belated birthday to uncle David!!
Love,
Ollie, Emma, Adam and Rachael
