7 months

Such a big big boy we have on our hands! Noah is 7 months old and so much fun! He loves all things crawling, bouncing, standing...or should we just sum it up with all things active :)

Noah has been up to lots lately, here are some things he loves to do:
Crawl all around the house
Bounce in his Jumperoo
Play outside
Sit in the grocery cart
Have playdates with friends
Crawl up to the fireplace
Pet the cat (more like grab)
Eat food
Play with his new standing toy
Sing songs
Sleep through the night, yes, Mommy and Daddy have been up to this as well :) :)
Giggle to fun noises that we make
Crawl up to the fireplace
Go for walks
Crawl up to the fireplace
Did I mention...crawl up to the fireplace!!!!

This is what we do all day long...

Noah crawls over to the fireplace and once he has been there for a few seconds we go over and say "hot" and bring him back into the center of the living room. We do this over and over again. He is OBSESSED with it.

Up next...a few fun videos...until then enjoy your weekend!

It Warms My Heart

I just love watching the relationship between Justin and Noah grow. Justin is so in love with him and Noah just can't get enough of how fun Daddy is. It seems that every day there is something that occurs that just makes my heart melt. Last night Justin returned from a 3-day trip and came home to Noah already asleep. He went in to see him sleeping in his crib and after a minute or two of him being gone I looked over at the monitor and found this:

He spent a good minute or two just leaning over with his head touching Noah's head. It brought the biggest smile to my face :) I can only imagine what the future brings! I love my boys so so much and cherish their relationship.

Cat Bowl

Why is Noah naked you ask?

Well, for the THIRD time Noah knocked over Sophie's water bowl (and by knocked, I mean put his face into) because he is crawling like a maniac and we keep it in our kitchen area. So today I made a permanent change and moved it-duh! I guess it's time to go around the house and see what else Noah can get himself into. All the kid wants to do is crawl. He plays with toys for like 2 seconds and then he's off-I think it's still a novelty for him :) So fun!!!

Halloween

Halloween was very fun for the Little Mister! We began our day with my school parade. Noah showed off his chicken costume and loved watching all the people. In the middle of the day we went back and he had fun hanging out at our classroom party. The children loved him and were so good with him :) He was also a favorite amongst the parents. A little bit later we went on up to Healdsburg to help Nonni pass out candy to the little ones who trick or treat around the plaza. There were so many cute costumes. We finished off our night walking around the neighborhood. Justin and I wanted to see the chaos of Skyhawk. There were definitely a lot of children, but what was more telling, were all the cars coming and going, as well as parked on the street. Noah was a cute little chicken and he had a fun-filled day! He was a trooper!

It's Almost Halloween

Here is a picture to brighten your day (or night) of our little crawler in his pumpkin jammer jammers!!! I just love him in his pj's. All I want to do is snuggle him, and all he wants to do is move and groove ;). I'm already thinking about how we will do Christmas jammies...

Watching The World Go By

As Noah and I sat outside today I had a vivid flashback to a fond memory of my grandma. My Grandma Emma was an amazing women and I miss her very, very much. She would have LOVED meeting Noah and it saddens my heart that he doesn't get to see her at our family gatherings. I will tell him stories of her one day about how much she loved our family gatherings...and food :). Okay, back to this memory before more tears come forth. My grandma and I used to "watch the world go by" as we sat on her front porch. It's one of my fondest memories I have of her when I was a child. So today, Noah and I watched the world go by as I told him about her and enjoyed remembering one of the most amazing women! He preferred to watch the world go by crawling of course. The boy doesn't just sit-EVER, he just
crawls all around. I look forward to many more moments with the
little mister of watching the world go by :)
