Here are some videos of Noah that we have taken in the past week. Just some of the things he has been doing and playing with. Enjoy!!!

Feeding Himself

Our little man is definitely growing up. He is 19 months today and it is hard to believe how fast the time goes. Seems like yesterday I was having to do everything for him and now he is becoming more and more independant. He hardly likes to be fed anymore and wants to do it all by himself, which is fine with me, but a little messy. He also likes to eat his food the way we do, meaning he doesn't want it all broken into pieces. It is fun to watch him try to master these fine motor skills, and know that one day soon he won't need any help at all.

Yum, oatmeal. Oatmeal EVERYWHERE!!!!

What's for dinner, Momma?

Yum, pizza is one of my favorites.

Fun in the Sprinker

Summer has arrived and it is now time to look for some wet outdoor activities. Yesterday I decided to set up the sprinkler for him to cool him off. I didn't put a swim suit on him because I didn't quite know what to expect as he is a little timid when it comes to trying new things. I ran through it with him a couple of times and then set him down, and it didn't take him long to do it himself. He had a ball.

He actually dribbled the soccer ball for a little while. Future soccer player maybe?

When it was time to go inside, I stripped him before we went in since he was soaked. Well being in true little boy fashion, he peed as soon as I took off the diaper. So while I was cleaning that up, he decided to run around naked for while. He ran straight for the wagon, dumped him self in, and then strapped himself in. He was all ready for a ride. I don't know if the neighbors have sunglasses dark enough for that whiteness.

WAKE UP!!!!!!

Our mischievious little man has taken to pushing buttons on Eric's alarm clock when no one is looking. We woke up last Saturday morning to Eric's alarm blaring at its highest volume level, not the radio, the ALARM. Talk about a wake up call. This morning, the radio went off at its highest level and it was in between stations. This new trick of his is definitely one way to get your heart pumping in the mornings.

Who me? I didn't do it.

Chillin at the end of a hard day

Everyone says that Noah looks just like me, and Eric gets upsets everytime someone says this. He wonders if Noah has any part of him at all. Well, I always tease Eric that Noah got his TV watching ability from him. Eric can tune you all the way out, when there is something on TV that catches his interest. Well, these pics of Noah at the end of the day watching Elmo seem to exhibit those same tuning out abilities.


I was even calling his name.

Boat rides

It was a beautiful day at Grama and PawPaw's so we went for a boat ride. I was very encouraged by how well Noah tolerated his life jacket. Last year he screamed as soon as we put it on him. This time, it was like he knew something fun was about to happen.


Little man, waiting go.


Driving the boat with Paw Paw


At least one of them stayed awake to navigate us home.

We Went on Down to the Audubon Zoo...

On one of the beautiful weekends that we had in April we took a family trip to the zoo. I wanted to do something just the three of us and thought this was perfect. Noah has been taking more notice of animals lately so I thought he would enjoy seeing more than just Raleigh. Plus, as much as he enjoys being outside I knew he would like it.

Up close and personal with the giraffes.

Once he saw the giraffe stick out its tongue while eating, he immediately stuck out his own tongue. Then it became a game.

The playground was his favorite bit of course. Can't blame him, it was made just for his size.

Ooh, I can do this all by myself.

We finished off the day witha carosel ride. That was fun too, because it went ra and ra (round and round).

Company Crawfish Boil

In April, we went to Eric's company's crawfish boil and had our first crawfish of the season. They were delicious, and enjoyed by Eric and I very much. Noah didn't eat any crawfish this time, but he did enjoy playing outside on the swings and the slide. I think he was in that swing for at least a half hour and still didn't want to get out when it was time to go.


No crawfish, but he sure enjoyed the Cheetos.






Not so sure about this at the top, but once he got to the bottom, he wanted to do it again.
