Rufus the doggie bank

This is Noah learning to save money in his RUFUS the doggie bank. He loves getting pennies from Daddy and putting then in the tiny slot, hearing them jangle, and drop to the bottom.




This is what he had seen Daddy do, when he runs out of pennies, turn it over, good thing Noah has not figured out how to get the bottom off.

He is getting frustrated

Irritated

Down right Livid

Chilly in the Park

So it got up to 50 degrees today, and Noah hasn't been outside in......well a long time, so he still had a little cough, but we braved taking him to the park. And the GREAT (sarcasm) parents that we are forgot his hat. It proved to be really windy.


SO daddy remembered he has his hat in the car and we settled for that one. Kinda big but really cute.

At first he loved

There it goes........it was a battle to keep in on from this point on.

But Daddy stayed close and kept and eye on him

It looks like he is not having much fun, I actually think he is just taking it all in here. We chased him most of the time. He was all over the place and had so much fun.

With Mommy looking rough

Picking up Pecans

At this point it we decided it was really too cold.

Shiny Heiny

Drew caught Noah doing this the other day. He has learned a new trick (watch out), sticking his booty in the air while standing on his head, you can see him do this anytime he is on his big boy bed, the couch, mom and dad's bed,......I think it is cute.

Lounging it

Jan 9 2011

This was Sunday morning, when Momma had to stay home from church sick. Noah had no problem keeping me company. We just lounged around, Noah watched some toons, ate breakfast, and took a nap.

Lately we have been living like shut ins. Mostly because it is freezing outside. Not getting out of the 30's. And with wind it makes it really bone cold. Other that I (Lindsay) have come down with a cold, that I am determined to get over, being pregnant and sick is miserable.

I had anther prenatal appointment last Wednesday. Just to listen to the heartbeat (160 bpm), and to get to know another Dr. from the practice. Dr. Groff, I really like her and hope she delivers me. One day I would love to work in an OB/GYN office, it seems like such a fun job. (That or in a quilt shop)

Well Monday the really icy weather hit, and Drew got a call from work saying he did not have to come in. I was happy because Noah had a really rough night (up with 102 fever and sleeplessness) I had lots of help. It was hard to stay up with him, while coughing, sneezing, and being sick myself. Drew was happy he got to stay home so he could watch the National Championship, GO AUBURN!!!! I think he was feeling later when he was up with Noah at 3, and 4, and 5 a.m.

Mimi Babysits via Skype

Jan 8 2011

We are just kidding about leaving our child to the computer for babysitting, but we have heard it has been done, and Mimi sure did keep him busy for quite a while. The Patty Cake song must have been sung several dozens of times and Noah's little hands were quite busy patting it out and rolling it up. He had a blast. And when the song was over, MORE MORE MORE........ So it continued.

Saturday Chick fil A

Jan 8 2011

Since Momma is sick and didn't feel like cooking we went to Chick fil A for lunch. I didn't want to eat much, I was too busy watching the kids playing in the play place. But I did finish down my fruit cup and some waffle fries. Dad took me to play and he lost me for a while when I climbed up in the slide and wouldn't down. When it was time to go, it was snowing outside, huge flakes, it did not stick of course.

We love getting gift cards. We got some for Babies R Us for Christmas and have been in need of humidifiers for a long time. We keep it warm in our house, but it gets so dry at night. And we get sick. We found this great Cool mist humidifier for Noah's room, lime green to match, and ended up buying one for our room too. Right in time for me to get a cold, and really see if it helps. It does. Thanks Aunt Becky.

Flu shot

Jan 4 2011







We headed to the Dr. for our follow flu shot today. But this morning, Noah was a little sleepy headed. He went and got Beba and his blanket and kept me company while I ate breakfast.

He did really well at the Dr's so afterward we went to pick up some toy cars at Khol's. He is really into Cars these days. We even got the movie Cars, and have learned to love it.

New Years Day 2011

Jan 1 2011

This was our meal for the night, I love black eyed peas, but it was not Drew's fav. I guess he did not grow eating them all the time. Hence the other options, green beans.
Noah loved them, and has continued to eat them. And say Hmmmmmm!!!!!

Our after dinner entertainment. Noah playing Ring around the Rosie. We are so tired of this. We do this in toddler sunday school, at home, and Noah volunteers you at a moments notice by grabbing your hand and pulling you around. Beckoning you to sing.

Drew starts to get sick seeing Noah spin round and round. Poor thing is falling over by the time it is done.

News Years Eve

Dec 31 2010

It is the last day of the year and we spent the day just hanging out as a family. We went shopping some that day and Daddy had the night off work, so we grilled out and had a good dinner together. Our big meal is usually at lunch since Daddy doesn't eat dinner with us. We may have been fuddy duddies but we put Noah to bed, watched a movie and went to bed early. It was nice not having plans.

I love that Noah looks like a little Luigi.





Here he is playing his piano that Mimi got him. He just bangs right now but maybe someday he will have some musical inclination.

This his platypus face.

White and Cold

My little snow angel


pretty deep



Please excuse the bed head, he just woke up from his nap.




Dec 29 2010


After such a long 2 day drive back up to NC we were so tired and had no plans to play in the snow. Well today we must have gotten a second wind. That or we wanted Noah to see the snow before it hits 70 degrees this Saturday. We only stayed out for a little while, and it was hardly still 8 inches but there was quite a bit left in some places. Noah didn't really love the cold aspect, and he mostly stood there afraid to move for fear of falling and getting his hands snowy again. But Momma had fun taking pics with her new camera.

Big Boy Bedding

Mom is just proud of Noah's big boy bedding.

Our Second Family

Dec 25 2010

We have missed Shelby and Mary while they have been away, and rarely get to see Ben and Ashley. We had a short but great visit hearing how they have been, and letting Noah get to know them again. We miss all you guys.
