My little Bum Genius

May 30 2010

So this week we have one big change. CLOTH DIAPERS. I am really liking them so far. I think Noah is pretty comfortable in them too. He is even playing hide and seek with me, or so it looks like it.


He has learned how to bring things to Mommy and Daddy.

Noah with Cadence

May 27-29 2010


We have had a busy couple of days. Noah turns 1 this week, and since Drew finished his finals last week also we get more time with Daddy. Also lots of people are graduating and moving. Our new friends Michael, Jordan, and Lily moved to OK and Noah and I got to attend a gathering for them. Noah is loving all the new friends he sees. He likes that there is a plethora of little kids to follow around.

Then we wend to Ingrid's 2nd birthday party. This was fun, and interesting to see if Noah would even notice the party, singing Happy Birthday song, and all the festivities going on. His party is in one week and I think it will just pass him by. Daddy, Momma, Babu, and Grana will just have to remember it for him.

We also went to the park with our friends one afternoon after it was cooling off. This birthday wagon is sure getting a lot of use.

Birthday Box

May 27 2010

Grana, Babu, and Uncle J sent me a birthday box, with a sheep card, Elmo piano book, new outfit and leap frog cell phone. I had fun opening it and keeping it away from Mama.

More (anything that daddy and mommy have)

Here Noah has learned to say more in sign language. Well not really, you are really suppose to hold your fingers together and bring them to meet several times in front of you to symbolize more. But Noah has decided that clapping works just as well. That or hitting his belly, as if saying "I need something in my belly." He just gets so excited that he can tell us what he wants now.

Between Storms

May 23 2010

Well Sunday it rained off and on all day. But as soon as it stopped we took advantage and strolled at the park. We did get rained on a little but it was worth it.

Mr Independent

May 22 2010

Noah discovered Daddy's favorite ball today. It seemed like he was a natural. At least it looks like it in my pics. Hut Hut. His other favorite thing now is picking up the wood chips and throwing them. Or letting him fall and picking them up again.

Noah has decided to walk everywhere now. He is not keen on being held anymore. He had his first scrapped knee the other day. I mean he drew blood. But no tears came out of these eyes. No he was to busy for that. The just got up and kept going.

Bubble Mania

Noah loves his bubble machine.

First Birthday Card

He loved it, I know you can not tell by his facial expression, but I have let him watch this video back and he is just amazed.



This is half way around the block. Imagine us waggoning around the neighborhood, with our own theme song. Hilarious if you asked me.

May 19 2010

Aunt Ashley and Uncle Ben sent Noah a birthday card. It was so cute and Noah really could not figure out how a piece of paper was singing music to him. He just kept opening it and closing it and opening it and closing it.......

Note to Ashley/ Mom says I can never watch those Rocky movies because they are absolutely horrible movies. xoxo Noah

Rocky really??? I have actually never seen those movies.

Maybe you can introduce him to better movies later.

A House Full

May 17 2010

Well is it rainy and dreary today. OUTSIDE. But not inside. We had friends over and had a ball. Mexican food, 6 kids, playing house in the closet, lots of conversation, and diaper changes, and a nap or two. It was an eventful day.

Popscicle

May 15, 2010

Just Noah enjoying his first pops. In his cute new $3 shorts.

At the Kenyan Car Wash

Just one of my fav recent pics of the guys.

May 15, 2010

First of all I can believe it is May 15, 2010. Time has flown by. I feel like summer has not begun, but is almost over.

Noah and I got up on Saturday morning, and immediately began to prepare to head out the door. We have been trying to let Daddy sleep longer on the weekends and the days that he can get some extra sleep. This new schedule of working at night is gonna take some getting use to.

So.......we headed to Khol's. Picked up a pair of shorts for Noah that were $3. Yay mommy for being and early bird shopper, then it was off to get some bread, then to walmart. By this time (10:00) Daddy is calling asking when we can come and pick him up. But before we could get there we head by a church who has people standing on the road saying, "Free Car Wash", donations accepted, so I pull in. They also had a yard sale going on. They were raising money for a group to head to Kenya. Well isn't that fancy. It was neat to share some our experience and spur them on. Noah found a antique rocking horse that he liked. But we just donated that money toward the trip, no room for that rocking horse in our apt.

It was a busy morning.

Noah and Logan

May 12 2010

We had a friend come and play yesterday. Logan is 16 months but she and Noah do a lot of the same things. It is good for me to learn what to expect as he grows. They had fun watching Noah's new bubble machine. And playing in the wagon, getting in and out, in and out, in and out,................

Small Group Cookout

May 9 2010

Our small group decided to cookout hamburgers and hotdogs so that the mother's would not have to prepare a meal for small group. It was a good idea. Noah had fun being outside. Meeting new people, and playing with the other kids. He even got to meet a new hound dog, that was not that interested in him. But boy he was interested in him. Squeeking and squealing he was so excited. I can not wait till he sees out dogs back home and for them to see him, and how he as grown.
