10 months!

Hey - Noah turned 10 months yesterday!! We have now entered the age of unbearable cuteness.


Tonight Chad and Noah read many many books. Noah would cruise over to the coffee table, choose a book (if necessary, discarding a book in order to choose the book underneath), hand it to Chad, then cruise back to go up on his lap and read.


Rinse and repeat.

We also had lots of fun preparing for tonight's bath.



And fun in the bath...


And fun after the bath, where Noah just cracks himself up.



And for his last feat of cuteness, Noah would like to show you his impersonation of a turtle.

Fall

It was a lovely weekend this weekend, perfect for walking around in the leaves.




And a chat with Grammy, who came up to help while I was laying on the couch icing my knee.




I guess I don't have anything clever to add




Just that man, leaves are interesting.




And fall is nice here in the tropics.

Corn Maze!

A few weeks ago (long time, no blog, I realize) Noah accompanied us through a corn maze.

While the maze was not so impressive (not as much corn as I would have expected), the company was good, the day was beautiful, and the timing was perfect for peek-a-boo.

Oh, did I mention Noah plays peek-a-boo? Where he is in charge of the peeking?


And the hiding?

And the booing?


It is almost too adorable.

Also, Noah got to meet some chickens. Yay chickens!


Daddy, did you see the chickens!?

Again with the box

I know, I know. It's just that we keep getting things in boxes, and it's so much fun to play with the box..

Seriously? You're sticking me in the box again? When exactly is this going to get old?

Oh wait... what's this? The box is sideways and suddenly interesting...


I'm through!!

Today we took our big boy to the doctor for his well visit and H1N1 shot (yay! He got it!).


His stats are as follows:
Weight = 22lb 14.5 oz (76th percentile)
Height = 29.5 inches (77th percentile)
Head = 18 inches (53rd percentile)

And he was declared perfectly perfect.

Duh!

Driving on

Watch out cats, the baby can steer!



He can steer, but it may be more fun to just power through.

Halloween

So I owe you all a few posts, huh.

Sorry about that. Let's just say the past week or so has been a mess of switching day cares and busy every night and traveling and teething and daylight savings time and I have been trying my damndest to go to bed at 8:30 and quack quack quack.

Also, whoever invented daylight savings time did not have small children. In fact, I am pretty sure they hated small children and invented it specifically to punish their parents.

Anyway, quack.

So with those excuses out of the way, let me tell you about how much fun we had at Halloween in Granby! We celebrated Christian's birthday with BALLOONS!!


BALLOONS!!!


Also, a pretty sweet Scoobie Doo cake.


Noah got to eat some pizza, which was a hit.


Please note, I have tried to feed him pizza on several occasions and he wouldn't touch it. I had basically given up on his having a normal (pizza-filled) childhood until Saturday, when I tried giving him the whole honkin piece. Apparently that was what was missing.

After dinner, it was time to get ready for trick-or-treating.


What a good-looking group of cousins!


Even though Noah loved the costume before, he seemed more skeptical this time around. He didn't seem to mind the hat at all, but was a bit confused about the whole process...

Hey man, watch the ear!

Do you ever get the feeling that something bad is creeping up behind you?

And now I present the worst picture ever taken of Noah. And that includes the pictues taken imemdiately after his birth.

Bad pictures aside, he really did seem to like trick-or-treating. There was lots of laughing and pointing as we walked around.

Then we loaded sleepy yoda into the car...

And off to bed. Mmmmm, sweet dreams of candy and balloons, he has.

More swimming

Saba and Nana came to visit yesterday, which is always lots of fun. This morning Saba took Noah to his swimming lesson. Noah did a great job splashing and kicking, and chasing after the ball.












Got it!!
