Ready for bed

March 30, 2010

These were after we got out of the bath the other night. Lotion on, and snuggling before Noah went to bed.

He's moving now

We finally got some video of Noah walking, we were not making it up. I think the boy gets camera shy. So we had to use lots of toys as a distraction.

Eating Peeps

March 27, 2010

So we let him have some sugar.

Babu and Grana send presents

March 26, 2010


Noah got a package today. Easter basket from Grana filled with all kinds of goodies. Peeps, a easter card, easter book, gummie lifesavers, snicker eggs, and LOTS OF GREEN EASTER GRASS. That is all over my house. Thanks Mom!!!! I can tell who is eating the snicker eggs (Drew), and peeps (Drew), but Noah did love chewing on all the candy that is in the wrappers before dad ate it.

Noah has officially begun to start to throw fits. Or temper tantrums. He gets all stiff and his face gets red, which is usually accompanied by a grunting sound. How do we get him to stop. How do we nip it in the bud now??? Anyone??? We have been saying NO!!!! But I think that just makes him more frustrated.

Learning cause and effect:

Tonight as I ran Noah's bath water he did what he always does. Stands there stomping his feet getting excited until he can get in. Well as I was talking to Drew. Both look to see Noah tumble into the bathtub face first. He was reaching and reached a little too far. We pick him up, soaking wet, clothes and all, and notice that he has blood streaming from his mouth. The first thing I think is oh was the water too hot?!!, then I think oh his teeth???? But it turns out he now has had his first busted lip, and his gums were pretty cut up too. But did that keep him from wanting to get in the bathtub after the crying subsided???? NO!!!! I am telling you. All boy. Accident prone.

Owen

March 26, 2010

Got to keep Owen while Missy ran errands. He was so easy compared to Noah, the two boys alternated taking naps and played pretty hard.

Cutie pa tootie

Okay I just think these are sweet pics of my little boy growing up. Enjoy. I love overalls and no shirt.

Eggs!!!!

March 24, 2010

Later we met to let the kids find some Easter eggs. Now looking back, I do not know how this was so exciting and popular when were children. But I sure did revisit the thrill as I was the kids race down the hill and fill their baskets with eggs. Plastic eggs. Noah was not really sure what to do with it. So it went straight to his mouth. We did have a lunch and I got to visit with some friends.

Easter Fun

March 24, 2010

We mosied on over to our friends' house to decorate Easter cookies. We had fun icing, and sprinkling confetti sprinkles over the cookies. Noah just played on the floor their was no way I was tackling icing and sprinkles with him, stuff he can not eat anyway.

Noah is trying watermelon, eggplant, onion, and apricot lately. Some funny faces have been the result of these.

Happy Birthday Babu

March 23, 2010


This little girl loves her daddy. Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Sick Nuhu

March 19 2010

Our little guy is the sickest I have seen him. I makes me sad to see Noah so lethargic and agitated. I suspect it is Croup. Such a horrible cough and fever. We have been switching off Tylenol and Motrin. Running the humdifier and sitting up at night so Noah can breath. Tonight he hasn't wanted to eat much. So we got sneaking and put him in the bathtub and every now and then offered him a bite. He finished his dinner in no time. He is drinking quite a bit so his little body obviously needs it. Can not wait for this to be over.

Splashing around

March 17 2010


Today we went to campus to meet Daddy and Uncle Jeremy to go to chapel. It was so much fun waiting till they got out of class. Mom let me splash and get wet in the fountain. It was pretty cold though. Even after she dried me off. I kept crawling back up and over to the edge.

Culturing it up

March 16, 2010


We decided to hit up some of the Asian markets around here as a request from Jeremy. He was attempting to find some good Kimchi (korean rotten cabbage, I know gross). But had no such luck. We did however find a Hispanic part of town with lots of local markets. Pastry shops, taqueria (MMMMMmmmmm!!!), and lots of other stores that will be fun to go to and get to know some people as our time here continues. BUT to our surprise we found an African shop also. It was neat to walk through and see all the food. Ugali meal. But no Zesta JELLY red plum (my fav./ should have brought some home with me), they also had Kenyan tea. I do miss me some Kenyan coffee however. I the things I forgot to bring. Jeremy did find his favorite brand of coffee. And jumped at a photo opp. to pose in front of it. Later we went to eat Thai food. Some of our friends suggested Lemongrass Thai. And it was GREAT!!!!!! Jeremy even got the SPICY CURRY.

Apple Eater

Noah has gotten so excited when Drew and I are eating apples lately. He knows the word from us saying it over and over when we feed him at dinner. He likes trying to take bites with all his 8 teeth.

Squeaky shoes

Mimi sent Noah some squeaky shoes, Noah I don't think knows that the squeaking is coming from his shoes, but he likes the sound.

Just a little bit farther

March 15 2010

We went hiking at the North Carolina State Park this afternoon. I am not sure where that pesky "SPRING" was but it was not with us. Right about the time we got out of the car and began to eat lunch the clouds rolled in. We started the 3 mile hike and were unsure of how Noah would do. I was cold, and Noah was just fine looking at all the trees, then he decided to take a nap. In one of the pics you can see he and Jeremy both looking a little tired. In the end it was a great hike and really fun to see some of this state. Made Jeremy and I miss our grandfather. He could walk through the woods and tell you what every bush and tree name was. Where the animal tracks were, mostly just knew the land. It was a good day. Even with no sunshine.
