Booty!

I put Noah to bed last night in just a T-shirt & Diaper because it was SOOOO HOT! This is how I found him this morning!

A Day in the Spotlight

So today is Noah's day. I'm writing a post specifically about him. My poor second child...the posts just about him are few and far between. Yesterday Noah had his well baby check up. He turned 16 months last week. He weighs 26.5 lbs (67th percentile). He is 33 inches tall (87th percentile) AND his head is 48 cm (75th percentile) If you can believe it his head is actually larger than Zoe's was at this age. Noah now has 16 teeth! Now that numbers 15 & 16 are just barely poking through he is a much happier child. Getting 8 teeth in 4 weeks made for a GRUMPY Noah! During the teething bout he also had Roseola for a week (or some kind of similar virus).

Noah seems to be saying and repeating many words. The ones he says frequently are: toe, apple, ball, doggie, eye, what's that, cup, bite, mine, Mommy, Mama, Daddy, Dada, Zaza (meaning Zoe), Granny (sounds like Dranny), Baba, Bobble (for bottle), cow, moo, horsie, hi, bye, mmm (when some is yummy), snack, bar, some, up (although the /p/ sound is often left off), cheese (when you take his picture or if he sees a camera), crackie (which is what he calls a cracker), and we're still not certain but when he cries and he's upset we think he says "I sad".

His continues to climb everything and get himself into precarious situations. If he doesn't end up with a broken bone or stitches during his childhood I'll be shocked. Just this past week he gave himself a black eye, a scratch on his face, a big scratch on his knee and bloody teeth twice!

Good Morning Daddy

This past week we met up with my sister in Oregon and went camping. We camped at William Tugman State Park on the Southern Oregon coast. We all had a blast!

Visiting Paul and Babe

One of our family's favorite stops is at the Trees of Mystery in Klamath, CA to visit Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. It's always a highlight when Paul talks and waves to the kiddos.

Just Because...

Noah is at that age where it's pretty much impossible to get him to stand still to capture a good photo. So I didn't want to leave him out...this is pretty much the only picture I have of Noah during our trip to Fresno.

GOOOAAAALLLLL!!!
