Hungry Hippo

Sept 9 2010






Lately Noah has been so hungry, eating or snacking all day long. He no longer wants Mom or Dad to feed him anything, he can do it himself. Well we had roast and potatoes and carrots for lunch. I love that he is already a meat and potatoes boy but......As a CLEAN MOM, I pride myself in not letting my son get too dirty. He is bucking the system. You may not see too clearly but in the video he has gravy/broth all over his belly and mouth and hands. YUCK. He was so sticky. He is doing one of his favorite things, rubbing the back of his head with his messy hands. And he thought it was so fun when he clapped his hands together, they now stick.

He had so much fun in his new found messiness.


WE WENT STRAIGHT TO THE BATH.



Here he is just finishing eating Dill Pickles, he can not get enough of them.

Happy Birthday Owen!!!!!

We went over for a cupcake or two. Noah did not really want to eat it at first but soon got the hang of it. He got to wear his party outfit too, one more time before he grows out of it.

I think we are almost at 12 teeth now. These bottom canine teeth are really making him clingy and irritable, but it does give us the chance to get some good snuggles in.

4 year old logic

Sept 8 2010

NOEL IS BACK!!!!!! I kept Noel some last semester. She is back with us for a few days before she starts school. And let me just tell you. Noah was excited. I have never heard him shrill like this before. He loved on Noel all morning, we ate lunch, went out side, came back in for naps, and by movie time this afternoon, Noel had had enough. In her 4 year old logic, she plainly told us that "Noah should stay back because she tends to cough alot when she drinks a lot of water." He may get sick. So funny. We asked her if she was pulling our leg, she clearly said NO.

Later we played outside with friends. And looked like we were running a daycare, with a total of 9 children under 4 all playing in the yard.

We finally were able to get together as a building and grill. With 4 new neighbors we were eager to spend time and get to know everyone, the girls sat and chatted, the guys played yard games, the kids ran around playing and getting into stuff, and Willie Parker grilled. And he can grill. Noah had a long nap up stairs and finally woke up to join us.

Sept 3 2010

A bunch of us Mom's met at Holding Park to let the kiddos play and to enjoy the cool morning. Though Hurricane Earl promised to be strong, the cold front redirected it and we did not even get any rain, just overcast clouds and good mornings. The kids had a blast playing and really worn themselves out. As evidence from Noah's 2 1/2 hour nap.

Playing at the Mall

Sept 1 2010

It is HOT here again, but today we really wanted to let Noah play, we headed to the mall. They have oversized boats, logs, lilypads, turtles, and logs to crawl on, through, over, and under. Noah was in awe at first because honestly this is the first public play place we have let him loose in, but secondly all the other kids kinda stunned him. BUT that did not last long. He found a little friend, well I should say this little boy found him and they were off. Daddy tried to play a little but Noah was too busy for all of that.

We spent the rest of the day at home spending some time as a family. I love these days where we can actually eat meals together, we miss that Daddy when he is gone.
