Dinosaur Park

I think Noah was a little intimidated by the dinosaurs. How do you explain to a baby that Dinosaurs no longer exist. There was one room where the dinosaurs actually moved and he sat there mystified. He didn't know what to do.

Noah

Noah is now saying wazat (what's that)
He waves bye bye
Kisses and then slaps you in the face.
Crawls everywhere
His favorite pasttime is climbing stairs.
Loves to scratch furniture and people
He growls at any animal he sees.
He points at everything and loves to go outside.
Cries if you bring him back into the house.
Puts everything in his mouth but doesn't care to drink beverages.

Food

Why is it that everytime I feed Noah he ends up looking like this? Does he think food is mousse?

We FINALLY have a BackYard!

It has taken us oh three years but our yard is finally complete. Each year we have had a big project to do. The first year we put in borders around the flower beds and put in our dog runs and poured a big patio. The second year we bought a vinyl fence. Put in a RV pad and finished our sprinkling system. This year we finally laid sod and our yard is done. Except for one little flower bed in the back that I haven't planted anything in yet. Thank you to all of you who came and laid sod. We sure appreciated the help.

Church

We finally took Noah to church yesterday. WOW what an experience. We walked in late and left about 5 minutes early because we didn't want people coming up to us. We thought just sitting in the room would be enough germs. My husband is paranoid. There was a little boy sitting behind us and he said his ear hurt so Jared turns to me and says we have to go, that boy behind us said his ear hurts. I don't think you can catch ear infections? Noah sat quietly for about 20 minutes then we had to break out all of the toys and yumminums (treats). He wanted to get down on the floor and I wouldn't let him. I'm sorry but I don't think the floors have been cleaned all day. He quickly learned that if he cried he got to leave the room. So he tested it out a couple of times. I use to get so annoyed with parents that would let their kids cry but now I know exactly how they feel. You really don't have any idea until you have your own.

Tulip Festival

My Mom and I went down to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point,with Noah and it was beautiful. The tulips were only in bloom about 40 % but it was still well worth it. The landscaping and the architecture was awesome. Here are a few pictures of our happy outing. It was just nice to leave the cold weather and go somewhere where it was a little warmer. Noah didn't enjoy the car ride and threw up in the backseat on the way home. I don't know if we will be taking him on any long car rides for a while. Noah in front of the tulips.

Some of the cool architecture.

How fitting is this, this is Noah's ark. Noah had to touch Noah.

Oh no! Now the trouble really begins.

I know I am one of those annoying mothers that all they talk about is their kid. I am always showing pictures to people and I know they are thinking oh know here she goes again. But I love my son, he is my life. I might be better after I have a couple more but right now he is all I talk about. My little basketball star. Playing with his present my aunt gave him for his birthday. He loves it.

He loves to climb on me, and I was trying to take his picture and he started climbing on my legs.

He can now pull himself up to the standing position. I have heard that the trouble is just beginning.

He can finally crawl. But I may regret wishing that he would do it sooner. He can now pull open all of my drawers and pull everything out on the floor. He also finds anything and everything on the floor and eats it. Sometimes it can get a little scary. Oh and he loves the outlets. We have got to start baby proofing my house
