A Christmas Favorite, and probably the cutest thing I have ever seen!

Noah LOVES his airplane; the verdict is still out on the hat-no big surprise there. Thanks so much to the Oto family for this wonderful present. It's well made, super duper cute, just the right size, and did you see...it's an airplane!!!

Visiting Autie Lori and Uncle Jim

On Thursday Noah, my mom, and I went down to visit my Auntie Lori, Uncle Jim, and Mike (Lori is my dad's sister). We had a wonderful visit and it was so nice introducing them to Noah. We just relaxed together all day. Uncle Jim made an amazing soup that Noah ate a TON of. We had berry pie and yummy appetizers as well. We reminisced about old memories and caught up on our current lives. It was the perfect day!

As we were packing up to leave, Uncle Jim got out a flash light and Noah was mesmerized. He followed that flashlight around trying to figure out what in the world was going on-it was super cute! Noah was a champ! Both car rides were excellent (3 hours each way) and he was very "well behaved" while we visited :) Thanks Auntie Lori and Uncle Jim for a great visit!

Noah Likes the Swings

Yesterday we met Andrea and Waylon at Howarth Park to watch the ducks and swing on the swings. Even though it was very close to Noah's nap time he had a blast. We even let the boys explore together in the sand. Here are some pictures and a video.

Sanitary, I know.

Swings are fun!!! Look at those top teeth getting so big.

Noah received this walker for Christmas and he is just beginning to get comfortable with it. The poor kid won't bend his knees when he walks with it. It's actually quite funny. He is like a little soldier. When he walks along the couch he bends his knees very normally, but with walkers he's more stiff (maybe it's still a little uneasy for him).

Merry Christmas to Mommy. I know it's so silly, but for some reason I have been very anxious for Noah to figure out how to clap his hands. I think it is so stinkin' cute when babies clap their hands. It was one of those milestones I have looked forward to for a long time. Well, he did it!!! He does it all the time now and I just love it. We are having so much fun with Noah. I'm starting to wish time would just stand still. I'm soaking in all things baby because I feel like he's growing at pesky winter weed status (just like the zillion weeds we have growing in our garden). I have always been the type to look forward to the next stage, and I still do, but I'm getting more sappy when it comes to him getting so big so fast. Enough talking...here ya go!

Have a great week :)
Happy New Year and thanks for checking the blog-we love you all and appreciate you stopping by to get a squint at our little one.

Christmas

It's the most wonderful time of the year...(I'm singing as I write)

And YES it was a most spectacular day! The joy of Christmas that Justin and I already have was multiplied by a million because our sweet little Noah was here to celebrate his first Christmas. In true form we did not get out of our pj's (or comfy clothes) all day. We enjoyed a yummy breakfast, opening presents (some on Christmas Eve night as well), relaxing, eating, game playing, more eating, more relaxing, and oh yeah, more eating :) Noah was wiped by the end of the day. He devoured dinner as he is way more into "human" food than "baby" food these days. He loved playing with all of his new toys and watching us unwrap the loud paper. He enjoyed watching us more than participating.

I can't say enough about how much I love Christmas. I'm sad it's over, but there is most definitely some awesome organization that usually takes place after Christmas and I like to organize. I willingly admit that I am not always the cleanest person (clothes piles anyone...???), however, I truly enjoy organizing. I have already created a new toy space for Noah in the living room and dining room that's working out well. I have also redone one of my kitchen cabinets and re-organized our bathroom (side note: I heart The Container Store).

Moving on before I bore you with more organization projects (the list is long). We had a wonderful Griswold Christmas with both of our families here to celebrate. We're even all still talking to each other (Hahaha!) Here are some somewhat random pictures of the day. I was too busy eating and relaxing you know...pictures took a backseat :(
