Happy Birthday, Jonah and Noah! {and day 130}

At eleven oh eight, March tenth of two thousand three, Jonah Raymon was finally able to stretch out his little legs for the first time and enjoy some room of his own. 

Until eleven ten, that is, when Noah Lloyd joined him.  

I will never forget that moment.  They were both squalling their little lungs out, until a nurse picked up Noah and laid him beside Jonah in the incubator.  At that very moment, they opened their eyes and looked at each other for the first time, and the crying stopped. 

Sigh.

Fast forward ten years, and this is the way they look:


Every bit as handsome as they were cute back on the day they were born.  In honor of their tenth birthday, I thought I would share ten interesting facts you might not know about them. 

Jonah:

He sings in his sleep. 
As small as he might be, he can eat his weight in Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.  Or Costco cake.
He loves stuffed animals.
He can sing really, really good.
He won't watch a movie to save his life, but give him two hours of COPS, and he's all yours.
His favorite person is Todd.
He loves making breakfast for everyone~hence the burn you see on his right middle finger.  :-(
The only toys he plays with are handcuffs, Legos and cars.
He loves to buy gifts for people.
When he remembers Noah getting hit by a car, he cries. 

Noah:

He loves animals. 
He loves to sing, but cannot carry a tune in a bucket. 
He still likes to play pretend.
He is always making some sort of noise, and is really great at sound effects.
He loves to give hugs.
He is very generous.
He makes the most adorable gulping sound when he drinks.
He always wants a Sprite.
He almost always has a dirty mouth.  {Not in talking~an actual, dirty mouth.}
He sometimes still asks if one of his best friends, Hannah, can spend the night. 

Here's some more pictures from their birthday party:

It was the perfect birthday for them.  :-)

Love to all.
