Noah and Caterpillar Joe



Isn't he cute? Yes, I think so too! He is my first baby! But, as the pictures will show, he isn't a baby anymore. He is 11-1/2 years old, and is becoming quite the little man. Yes, folks, the first stirrings of puberty were upon us before we knew what hit us! LOL! One day, Noah was just being his normal cute self, and I kind of looked at him in the light and noticed that he had a little something dark and fuzzy on his upper lip. I questioned him about it, and he said, "Yes, I know! It's my friend Caterpillar Joe!" WHAT?!?!?! I didn't realize that young men actually named their first little fuzzies, but apparently this young man DOES! It totally cracked me up! So, Caterpillar Joe it is! He has left his mark, literally on my oldest son's face, and is still residing there! Along with Caterpillar Joe came the other lovely rumblings of manhood. Noah's voice is changing and he's taller, and muscular, and well, turning into an even handsomer young man right before our
eyes! I can't believe he'll start his first year of junior high next week. Where does the time go?
Another funny thing is, that he is watching me post this and is like, "Why exactly are you putting that on the web for all the world to see?" And, I told him, "It's because I love you and wanted you to have your own feature section on the blog page!" Needless to say, he didn't seem as thrilled as I thought he might! LOL! He's a good sport and let me publish it anyhow. He's a great kid! And, Caterpillar Joe is kinda cute too!

What is that about. How could a boy who is suppose to be just that have some face fuzz? They grow up too fast, hope your ready for the teen years. I know I'm glad that my oldest is seven even if he acts 27. Noah I'm sure will make a great teenager. He seems to be a really great kid.
