CAMPING, now Drew and I are campers, I love being out in the woods, Drew thought it would be a great idea now that it was cooler to spend some time away as a family. I spent a few days before hand packing planning things we would see along the way, and how relaxing it would be to introduce Noah to camping. He would love it.
NOAH IS NOT A CAMPER!!!! YET!!!!!
Sure he loved it, but camping with a toddler proved to be exhausting. Who knew???? It was a primitive site (which meant walking involved, one mile to be exact)so we strapped on our gear and headed into the woods. Drew made a couple extra trips so we could have pillows, the air mattress,...... (the important things).
Momma is all smiles before the hike.
At the camp site with Daddy
Down by the river
This is actually one of the webs Drew walked into
The walk in was long and strenuous with a boy in a backpack on you, but we stopped along the way for photos. Once we made it to our campsite, I thought "primitive?" It was smoothed off for us and the fire wood was provided.
Tent
Firepit
Campsite
Noah started exploring and Drew and I put up the tent. Drew started to get the fire going. Noah was tripping over tree roots, rocks, logs, his own feet. Really we had incident after incident. He was having a ball, I was tired. Once the fire started blazing, that was the new attraction. I am happy to announce Drew and I have mastered (much to the grandparents delight I am sure) keeping our son out of the fire pit. He wasn't happy about it but we did it.
On to hot dogs and marshmellows. By this time we are waiting for it to get dark so we can start getting ready for bed. We are sure that we have worn out Noah and he will sleep great. NO SUCH LUCK. He decided it was play time in the tent. Flashlight was his friend.
OKAY longer story short. He woke up several several times during the night. By morning we were popscicles. And decided that we would pack up drive home and have our eggs and bacon at home, with showers, warm beds for a nap later, and that we would forgo our next leg of the trip to Hanging Rock till Noah is older.
All bundled up for our cold night.
Only morning pic, we look rough
Really cool spider web on the way out of the woods. God's little miracles.
Before we left, we were packing up the car and Noah spots 3 deer. He takes off running toward them yelling "Woof, Woof" I let him have fun, knowing the deer would run off, but later told him that they were not Pup Pups (dogs).

Shaving like Daddy
Sept 30 2010
Noah is always so amazed with watching Drew shave. So today we thought we would let Noah try it a little.
This is after Noah ate some shaving cream, Drew then frantically looks on the back of the can for poison warnings.

Just stuck
Noah is such a big boy and likes to sit at the table like a big boy too. I was in the living room and came back into the kitchen to the sound of my name (Momma, momma, momma) not panicked but I knew something needed my attention.
He just looks pitiful, it was funny and sad at the same time.

Flag Football
Noah wanting to go on the field
Sept 25 2010
After much discussion, Drew decided to play flag football on Saturday mornings. After the first game, I asked him how he did, he replied , "I am slow." I guess we are getting old. I was exhausted too, trying to keep Noah off the field, away from the geese, and constantly shoving snacks his way. I did however get a few pics.
I do not know how Noah knew to clap for the team after a play, but as soon as the whistle would blow, he looked in the direction of his Daddy and clapped away.
Sick Day Thursday
Sept 23 2010
We had such a rough night on Wednesday. Noah was sick with a cold, teething, the Tylenol ( CVS brand ) had the opposite effect on him. It made him hyper. He did not fall aslepp till Daddy got home at 3:30 in the a.m. He woke up several times and that sweet, sacrificing, Daddy got up with him. Mommy got up him for good at 6:00 a.m. SO......we were both exhausted. Even on Thursday after alternating watching Noah and letting the other parent have a nap we were still tired. Daddy ended up taking the night off, sick day but really for exhaustion reasons.
We were so excited to have Drew home for a night. We cooked Mini burgers and nachos. Daddy babysat while Mommy went to class. It worked out great and we got to spend some unexpected family time at home.
The guys grilling.
Our yummy dinner
Smiling before Momma goes to class
Oooops he smiled a little bit too big
We even skyped with Babu. My dad has decided to come for a visit in a few weeks. He misses his little buddy.

What is your vote???
Sept 22 2010
In some of Noah's expressions he reminds me of Drew. And in this one I think he mostly looks like Drew, especially the nose and mouth. This by the way is Noah's cheese (about to take a picture face).
We hit a milestone in the Taylor house the other day. Noah said his first two word phrase. Some days he decides he only wants to sign but on the days he wants to talk he TALKS!!!!! Drew was getting ready to go to work, and he sat down to put on his shoes, fix his coffee, grab his lunch (this is usually the routine). Well lately Noah has been so clingy when it is time for Daddy to leave. He walks around holding on to Drew's legs and pushing him away from the door. This is usually when I pick him up to help him say goodbye. I said "Noah tell Daddy bye bye." Noah says in response, "BYE BYE DADDY."
We both stopped in our tracks and smiled, he is getting so big, he hasn't done it since.
Playdate
Sept 21 2010
We had some friends over for a playdate. The kids definitely had a ball and all took turns rocking in Momma's rocking chair. I think we have figured out for sure that Noah has a crush on Logan, he likes to stand in front of her and hold her shoulders and gaze into her eyes it is too funny.
Noah has gotten really good at doing the TOP, he watches Daddy and mimicks him.
All the kids
Kate and Logan
