Noah is turning into a BIG BOY!!!

So it's offical now. Noah is a big boy! Took down his crib today, since for the past week or two he's been not liking it so much and has been sleeping in a bed anyway. So his crib coverts into a toddler bed, but just the front comes off. And I really didn't like that because then it still had to be up against the wall like the crib. My friend gave me a toddler bed, and we had a extra double bed anyway. So I chose to just let him have the double bed, so there isn't a risk of him falling off the bed or anything because he's been sleeping in that bed and he always stays on one side. So he's officially a big boy, in a big boy bed and got a potty chair yesterday to! He's growing up so fast! He's so adorable I love him with all my heart! I didn't take any photos yet of his room without the crib, or of him on his potty chair, but I will and then I will upload them to this post!

It's been WAY to long since I updated!

I cannot believe I haven't updated anything since Easter! I feel awful about that! So much has happened I just don't know where to start!

Noah is getting so big! Yesterday was his 16 month birthday already! I cannot even believe it! When he was born I was thinking that time wasn't going to go so fast....I was wrong! But it's bittersweet because I see how much he has learned in these 16 months and it amazes me!

Well in May Noah got his first real injury. As you can see he fell and hit a shelf at daycare and had a pretty nasty goonie. :(


He LOVES it outside! The boy would live outside if I'd let him! It's ok, I mean I'm glad he likes it outside that just means that maybe when he's older he'll be into sports rather then watching tv! He isn't really interested in the TV. He might pay attention to Sprout for a while but that it. And only certain things. I guess that's a good thing, although that also means that Momma doesn't get anything done like EVER cause I always have to entertain him! I don't mind, but sometimes you just have to get some work done and there isn't that moment with him!!

His Dr suggested at his 15 month check up that we start doing things like sidewalk chalk, finger paints, and coloring. He has a giant coloring book, and markers but he's more interested in eating the markers then anything. Finger paints...I haven't been brave enough for that, Chalk isn't bad and he liked it...and liked to eat it to!

He got a swing set a few weeks ago, and he loves it! There is a see saw on the one end and he thinks that's just the best thing ever! I love that little man more then anything else in this whole world!
Him thinking about going down the slide alone! It's a fast one!
Him on the see saw, I keep telling him he needs a buddy to be on the other side instead of me pushing it up and down lol
I guess they call this a glider, he likes it, since the baby swing isn't up yet this is about the only "swing" he can do lol. Once again would be better with a buddy!

He also got a new water table, since he is so obsessed with water and he just loves that to! He loves bubbles, actually he even loves to say bubble! :) He just the cutest!
Him and his jean diaper!

Making his Poppy play with him!

He loves his Poppy, and I must say that my Dad is a WONDERFUL Pop to Noah! I'm so grateful for that, especially since his Daddy is gone. Noah has Pop wrapped around not only his little finger but his entire hand! My Dad will do anything whenever for that boy! It can be 100 degrees outside, he can be tired, in pain and Noah comes and grabs his finger and leads him to the door and he goes out every time! He's a trooper! I'm so very happy for that! As you can see, they not only enjoy the fun things together, but also a nice afternoon nap!!


He has practically a mouth full of teeth! He had his 12 month molars before he was 1 , and he had his eye teeth before his 15 month dr appt! He's so advanced! lol He is learning more and more words it's amazing! He's amazing!

He now will point to the sky when I ask "Where is your Daddy?", not that he really "understands" it, but I guess the 20 minutes we spent at the grave site for Father's day talking to his Daddy and me pointing to the sky saying "Dada is in Heaven with Jesus" helped a little. He actually said Dada when we were there this time, and was blowing him lots of kisses! I know he would absolutely LOVE his Daddy if he were still here with us. But now we just have to keep his spirit alive. Speaking of which, Noah met his 1/2 sister at the Fireman's carnival 2 weeks ago! Which by the way also happened to be the day he rode his very first carnival ride ever! That was nice! It was a little too much meeting there, because of all the people and things to look at but it was nice. You can totally tell they are related! Both have their Dad's features. Noah looks like him when he was little, and Jayana looks like him as a adult, too weird! Here they are after they rode rides together!
This is the first ride Noah was ever on, with his sister :)

I just want them to grow up knowing about each other and maybe they can have a relationship growing up. Once they are older how often they see or talk to each other is up to them, but I know I'd wanna know if I had another sibling out there. So we will see what happens! So far so good. Jayana is about 13 months older then Noah. So they aren't that far apart. I think everything will go well. I also believe that Jeff would have wanted this for his kids.

Easter Sunday 2011

Today is Easter, Noah's 2ND Easter to be exact! This year he had a big basket the Easter Bunny left for him! It was full of books, a new sippy cup, bag of shortbread cookies, some spiderman eggs with quarters in them, a little bit of chocolate, a little lantern and there is probably more but hey can't think of it! His Aunties got him a Easter basket to, it was cute shaped like a carrot car! It had a can of wagon wheel apple treats, 2 t-shirts (1 Charlie Brown, 1 Toy Story), bubbles, a little chocolate, and on the side was a plastic set of golf clubs! The Easter Bunny also "hid" eggs around for Noah to find, which he kinda was into it but mostly not! Next year he probably will be! Anyway he ended up with a grand total of $35.25 from the Easter Bunny! Now Mommy is just wishing the Easter Bunny would have left me some eggs! :)









Then we had a WONDERFUL dinner, my Mom prepared! It was so delicious as usual! My sister made us a Coconut cake, I love coconut! That to was delicious!




It was such a nice day, kinda humid and until like 4 or so when it started raining we were outside! Noah was running around outside, going down his slide, then we brought his 4 wheeler out and he was riding that all around. He cracks me up! He got his 4 wheeler for Christmas and then could pretty much just sit on it and you had to push the button to make it go. Now that boy can get on and off of it, push the button everything! It doesn't have the best steering, and so when you try to help him with that his new thing is pushing your hand away and then he'll be mad and just get off for a while! He's so cute!




He's really a great kid! I am so blessed to have been given a child! I love him more then anything!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter!!

Noah's First Hair Cut!!

My little man was starting to look like a wild man, so I had to get his hair cut!!
He did so good! His Poppy was holding him, and he didn't cry and he actually cooperated!! He did so good, the barber gave him a lollipop! His very first lollipop ever!!!


Mommy with a lock of his hair :)






Noah's 1st Barber Shop buddy! (besides Poppy!) A little strange, yes but cute! lol


hair from the back, he's so cute!!! I love it!!

Enjoying his lollipop!!


Now my baby looks like a little boy! It's bittersweet! He's growing up so fast! I can't believe it, he's so smart I swear he learns something new everyday!!! I love my baby!

Pink eye & Ear infections....

So my poor little man has pink eye and a ear infection. I feel so awful for him, and he looks so pathetic. He has moments when he just cries and cries, and nothing will comfort him. BUT if you sing him Happy Birthday he stops and smiles!! This kid never ceases to amaze me :) Ever since his birthday he absolutely LOVES when people sing him Happy Birthday, so needless to say it's his birthday everyday! He wants me to hold him like constantly which I don't have a problem with! I'm not sure how he'll be once everyone else gets home.

I had to send him to daycare this morning since it's always better to get a call and have to leave then call off. I felt so bad, and didn't want to do it. But they called me at 8:00 and I called the dr on the way to go get him, got him a appt at 11 so that was good. I'm also glad we got to see his dr, which isn't usual when it's a sick child appt.

Now Noah is taking a nap, Kailyn is coming over for the weekend, so that should make him happy to see her! He loves Kailyn!

Noah's 1st Birthday Today!!!

Today February 24, 2011 at 12:30am my baby boy turned 1! I can't even believe it! This year has flown by, and he has learned so much it's amazing! It's raining today, and will be tomorrow and it was snowing when Noah was born! How awesome is that? We got snow the next evening I'm pretty sure!

Today was a busy day for the Birthday Boy! We went to pick up his Aunt Chrissy at 8:00am, went to meet Aunt Danielle at Bob Evans for breakfast, then headed to his WIC appt. After that we started our trek to Park City Mall. Noah got a good nap in during that long drive! We got his pictures taken at Picture People for his Auntie's! Then we walked around a little and had lunch. Left there and went to Giant to get him a cake, and then finally came home.

I Love this one!! He just started that crunched up smile :)

And this is his new trick! Actually just started doing this today!

I love this little boy :)

We had a very good day, it was long but good!! Tomorrow he goes for his 12 month check up at the Dr. Saturday is his big birthday party!! I'm SOOOO excited for it!!

Where does the time go??

I can't believe that in 3 days my baby will be 1 already! It's bittersweet. A year ago today, I was at home miserable pretty much, just wanting Noah to arrive. It's so surreal. I can't even explain it. I find myself feeling like I'm going to cry now and then when I look at Noah. He has grown so much, it's so amazing how much they learn in just 1 year.

I'll be posting on Thursday sometime, probably after he goes to sleep. We have a busy day planned. Going out for breakfast with my sister, heading to a appt, then pictures at Picture People for my sister. Then a little birthday party at home. Then Saturday is his big party!! I'm excited for that to!!!

My how fast time flies!
