I can move!!!!!

If I could just reach the food.....
Mommy, couldn't reach the bowl in the back so I volunteered.
Believe it or not, I did this all by myself.

Always time to meet someone new

We decided that Noah needed some new clothes since is starting to grow out of his old ones. By the way he went to the doctor this morning and he weighs 26lbs. 5oz. Anyway, we went shopping in Locust grove and had the opportunity to visit with one of our friends who also has a new little one. Here is a photo of Noah visiting with his new friend Briley. So many of our friends are having children now and Noah is going to have a hard time remembering everyone.


I don't have any pictures yet, but Noah also began crawling today. He has been on the go ever since. We have started to child proof the house. We are putting the plugs into the outlets (he has tried to put his finger in it), and we are about to put on the latches inside the cabinet doors. Believe it or not he has already learned how to open the cabinets. Our lives will never be the same.

New Tricks

So, I can't put the pictures into the order that I want. Anyway, this is one of Noah's new tricks. He likes to stand against the couch and try to walk to you. He usually ends falling instead of walking. If you are not careful he will turn himself around, and then do trust falls into your lap. Sneaky little joker.

Here is another trick he has learned. He is learning to pull himself up on his knees. He first learned this trick in the bathtub. I told him that was not a good place to learn new tricks.

These are some pictures of him one afternoon when we got home from JoJo's house (his sitter). I gave him his bottle while I started dinner, and then I laid down beside him. When I looked over at him he was sound asleep.

He is also pulling up onto all fours. He hasn't gotten down the part of moving his arms. So, he will usually move his legs and then falls flat on his face.

Here he is again pulling up on his knees.
I don't remember if I updated ya'll on his late doctor's appointment. He was 24 lbs. 6oz. and 31 1/2 inches long. He is a grwoing boy. For dinner now he no longer eats baby food. He eats "big boy" food like chicken noodle soup, chicken pot pie, mashed potatoes, and so forth.

First Trip to the Zoo

We went to the Zoo today. Noah was more interested in trying to grab on to strangers that were passing by rather than looking at the animals. The Panda bear did catch his eye though. We had to leave a little early because of rain but either way Noah still had a great time.

Welcome Home!!!!!!

Today was a great day for our family. Noah's uncle Mike has been in Iraq for the past seven months. Today he arrived back home safe and sound. Welcome back home, we missed you. Don't worry, Noah is doing the same tricks that he was doing before you left. You haven't missed out on too much.

Baseball Time!!!!!!!!!!!

Colby's first ever at bat. He made it to first if any of you are wondering.
Colby heading for second. This time he did not pick up the ball, which is to his left. He is learning.
Playing third just like uncle Dave.
Michael Rounding third and heading for home. He was safe, the kid in the field was too concerned about making sure the second baseman got the ball. They are only 6 years old.
Where are we and where is the food?

Favorite Things

Here is Noah enjoying some of his favorite things.

Enjoying some time outside...and eating.

Chilin' on the floor.

He sat up on his own for the first time today. He is also pushing himself up on his hands and knees.

Reading a book with Mommy.

His new favorite book is Jesus and the Twelve Dudes Who Did. It is like a counting book about the twelve disciples. He likes to feel and try to eat the disciples.
