Yard Sale, Farmers Market, Spray paint, Mini Makeover, Football

Sept 18 2010


I left the house at 6:40 Sat morning and head to the Yard Sale with a friend. Scored a bookcase for $10.00 whole dollars. A little spray paint and some rearranging later and we had a mini makeover.

Noah moved up too. He is getting to be such a big boy, he loves books, so we added the small bookshelf to his room. We recently have been working on being a helper and cleaning up. We even got a new Curious Buddies dvd that Noah is enamored with. So this was a great way to teach him to put books back up after he is finished. He also loves putting things in the trash can.

Brush em' Brush em' Brush em'

Noah is always asking for our toothbrushes. Grana sent him one and we brush on occasion. But we need to get in the habit with all these teeth. The 11th tooth just broke through today, with the 12th not far behind. I was trying to help him but he decided the could do it on his own.


Rinsing.

Up and down.

And across.

Showing off his pearly whites.

So today........

We found the wooden clogs that we bought for Noah in Amsterdam. We were living in Kenya and flew home to surprise our families for Christmas. During our lay over in Amsterdam we went out in the city and toured a little. We went to the wooden shoe place, and since this was the first place I felt Noah kicking around (pregnant at 15 1/2 weeks) we bought him some shoes. I thought they were so cute and they would be a novelty item we would just keep around a tell him a story about one day.

Well I put them on him today to see if they would fit and he loved them. He wanted to keep them on, and when I decided to put them away he would go get them and bring them to me. He slipped and slid all over the hardwood so the carpet was his friend today.


Here I am in Amsterdam, pregnant with little Nuhu.

Here he is wanting me to put them on him again.

He read in them.

He watched TV in them.

He danced around in them.

Long Sleeves

Sept 11 2010

We had a cool Saturday morning, and decided to pull out one of Noah's long sleeve outfits. We put it on and he looked at me all confused, kept pulling on his arms and sleeves, and got frustrated. I do not think he remembers winter clothes from last season, and since he loves being naked most of the time anyway, well I still think he looks cute.

We walked for a fast trip to the park, it looks cool outside, but once you are walking up hills and toting toddlers, Momma's get warm real quick.

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.

Cupcake Party

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.
