Special...

...Sometimes Noah has special moments...

Something in the air

Oh, that's right. It's the SUN!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

To my husband, father, and brothers. You're all wonderful dads.

Zander: thank you for being such an amazing father. Noah adores you, and I love watching the two of you spending time together and growing those amazing father-son bonds.

Inconsiderate Fools

I'm amazed lately at how often I find people being inconsiderate to each other. Life long friends, siblings, spouses, strangers, I see it everywhere. Granted often it's probably unintentional, but I think that sometimes it's almost become habit in certain situations. People have become so selfish that they are oblivious tot he people around them, and how even a stranger can be affected by their actions.

So this is my plea. Become more aware of the people around you, be nice to family, friends, and strangers. You never know how far your small actions will go, and how they will affect people, for both good and bad.

Note: In no way am I trying to say that I am not sometimes inconsiderate as well, but at least I'm working on it.

First Birthday Bash

We had Noah's birthday party last Saturday. It was a fairly standard event, pizza, lots of kids everywhere, presents, and then the all-traditional smashing of the cake.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH!!!

This last year has gone by so fast, I thought I'd take a minute to remember all of the amazing things that Noah has learned and accomplished in his first year of life. He learned to sit up on his own, eat solid foods, roll over, smile, laugh, crawl (in his own special way), talk, stand on his own, go up and down the stairs, wave goodbye and so many other little things. He's a hilarious little boy that keeps us laughing all day long, and never knowing what to expect. Noah, you're awesome, and we love you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Noah Videos

I've taken a bunch of cute videos of Noah in the last few weeks, so here they are!!!

This is what Noah's bath time looks like lately. More often than not I end up having to change my clothes afterward because I'm soaked. Not to mention I have to mop up all the water from the walls and floor around the tub.

Noah has always liked played in my closet. There's an upright mirror, a whole bunch of shoes, and all sorts of other interesting things to play with. Lately though he plays with the clothes that are hanging up, and usually all of them at once.

At about 9 months, Noah developed his "scrunchy face". He crinkles his nose and makes an almost hissing noise. It took us this long to get it on camera, and he even snorted for us.
