Noah. The Ladies Man.

February 10, 2014

When Nathan and Meagan attended church with us during their Christmas visit, (Grandpa) Steve asked us all to come forward so that we could introduce the newest Smith Fella to the congregation. 

Of course, everyone oohed and ahhed over the Cuteness That Was Noah.

After Steve had finished introducing Noah, he invited the congregation to join us in saying a brief prayer of dedication. It was a very sweet time for the church family and for our family.

When the service was over, I did my Grandma Thing and carted Noah around the room so that he could meet a few people face to face. He was an especially big hit with the ladies as he gurgled, giggled and drooled his way right into their hearts.

As big a hit as he was with the older church ladies, he was an even bigger hit with one particular younger church lady.

When Noah was first introduced to the lovely Miss Faith, he was all prepared to trot out his dashing personality and charming manner and make a resoundingly fabulous first impression. Sadly though, Faith decided to ignore her new suitor altogether. She didn’t care if he was the pastor’s grandson and good-looking on top of that—she was having nothin’ to do with him!

Noah tried to be all nonchalant about it but I could tell his masculine macho identity was taking a beating. He gazed thoughtfully into the middle distance as he wondered, “Ignore me?  How can any woman possibly be ignore me?  Me, of all people!  This is obviously a situation that needs to be remedied. And rectified. And fixed!”  (Noah inherited his Grandma Smith’s love for the thesaurus.)

And so Noah came up with a plan. He thought, “If I can just think of a few funny stories with which to regale Miss Faith,  I betcha she’ll notice me then!”

And sure enough. It wasn’t long at all until Noah’s winsome wonderfulness won the day.  Faith started smiling and Noah knew he had won her heart. In fact, the more she smiled the more charming he got and the more charming he got, the more she smiled.

It was a match made in heaven.(Or at least a match made in the church lobby.)

Noah has already proven himself to be a specialist at winning hearts and making the church ladies smile.

But more importantly than that? Noah knows how to make his grandma smile!

    What a dapper little man! I love baby dedications. I cried in front of the congregation during the dedication of my babies. It is such a beautiful moment. 🙂

    Stopping by from the SITS Comment Fest.

  4. What a cutie! I love your story about Noah and Faith. I’m also a grandma and I can’t think of anything better than that. It’s wonderful!

    He is the cutest – nothing better than being a grandma – you thought you were proud as a mama, but boy, oh, boy there is something a little bit prouder being a grandma! Gotta be one to understand.

  6. Oh my gosh! What a cute story! Love the pics. Isn’t being a grandparent just the best?!? I have 2 little ones and they are just the apple of my eye. Nothing better than playing with them, sleepovers and teaching moments. And the biggest bonus is they go home! No having to deal with the “raising” them part. Nothing is more precious than life through the eyes of a child; it really keeps you young.

  7. what a sweet boy!!! love your site, thanks for sharing!

    Oh my….Sir Noah is just way too sweet. 🙂 The time between visits and the distance can be tough. Might I suggest getting the TOMY Sweet Messages Photo Bug. It looks like a butterfly and the wings are picture frames. (5×7 pictures, I believe) There is space for 8 photos and a message can be recorded to go with each photo. I bought one for each of my grandkids, so that when we can’t be there, they can see us and hear our voices and especially the great grandparents who are over 500 miles away. I found mine on Amazon. Check it out!
    Thanks for sharing the photos. Cuteness overload!! 🙂

      LeeAnne,

      Thanks for suggesting the TOMY. I’d never heard of it but will definitely look into it. I’m wide open for any idea that make that distance me and my charming fella seem a little shorter.
