Noah on his bike!

 

 

 

Noah and Daddy went for a bike ride in the front yard Saturday. Noah is a dare devil, he really likes to go backwards down the driveway. We just received a few quotes on getting our backyard done so Noah will soon have a safe place to run and play.

Noah's 1st Haircut

 

 

 

 

Today Noah finally received his 1st haircut @ Jack & Jill's. We have been putting off this big event but finally decided it was time. Noah's hair was getting pretty long and always in his eyes. Noah was so brave, sat very still and almost feel asleep he was so relaxed. The sleepiness was do to the fact that we also took Noah's pacifier away last night and he woke up @ 545 this morning and has been up since then. We decided it was time to take the old pacifier away this weekend as well since he has a cold and can't breath well with it anyway. So as you can see Noah looks a little out of it in his pic. combination of medicine, no pacifier and an early morning.

Andventure to Death Valley

This past weekend my parents came down for the long holiday weekend to see Noah and our course John and I. After living in Ridgecrest for almost 3 years we still have not visited Death Valley, so we finally did this weekend. Since it's as hot as hell there during the summer time (not sure how hot hell is but 130 plus degrees is dam hot) we decided to take a trip when the temperatures were mild. On our trip we were able to visit Scotty's Castle, who would have thought some millionaires from Chicago would have built a castle out in the middle of the desert. This guy must have liked the two extremes, bitter cold and hotter than hot temps. We also went to a Ghost Town about 30 miles outside of Death Valley, saw no ghost but did get to see a house made out of beer bottles by the town drunk. We didn't get to see everything in Death Valley, if you have ever traveled with a toddler you see what you can see and move on. I think we may go back to see a few more sites, but I'm sure that won't be until next winter.

My son the wild toddler

Here are few snap shoots of Noah from this week. As you can see he was on his way to HOOTERS and wants all of his friends to follow him. Noah's fun loving personality is really showing it's head this week. Sometimes I can't believe the faces he makes or the crazy things he is caught doing. These days it is climbing anything and everything, I really have to watch him since we have lots of tile in our home. I'm very positive that God blessed me with a son to give me patience.

Noah's 2nd Cold

So Noah had his 2nd cold all last week. Of course he waits until we get home to get sick on me. Luckily his cold didn't bother him too much and his sleep was not interrupted, Yes THANK YOU GOD. I can't wait until Noah learns to blow his nose, because if you have ever been around a sick stuffy nosed toddler you know what I mean. Can we say snot everywhere, what a sticky mess. Luckily Noah is all better now and I can finally wipe down all my glass and mirror surfaces, which he liked to decorate with you know what. Here are a couple of pics. of Noah, as you can see his cold didn't stop him from having a good time.

Happy New Years 2009

We spent New Year's Eve at my parents house with just a low key night of eating and baking. After Noah went to sleep for the night John and I went to see a high school friend for a few hours. Since we don't get out with out Noah back home we try to take advantage when we come to San Jose. Of course Nana and Papa love spending time with their Peanut. John and I also for the first time in 15 months spent a night away from Noah and treated ourselves to a stay at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose during our Christmas visit. It was so nice to get away and have a nice dinner but we missed our little guy. It was nice but couldn't wait to see him the next day. Here are a few pics of our New Year's Baby, Noah using a chair to climb up to get a cookie. The bouncy horse Noah is sitting on was mine when I was little, Papa cleaned it up and it looks like new.

Noah at San Jose's Children's Discovery Museum

Noah started this day off with his 15 month Dr. Appointment, and what a brave little guy he was. Noah received 3 shots, let out a small cry and then put a brave face on. After this and a clean bill of health we took Noah to The Children's Discovery Museum. Noah had a great time, loved anything that had cars and we had to drag him away from the top with mirrors in the Alice In Wonderland Exhibit. I really think Noah just enjoyed being around all the other kids and climbing on new things and making friends. (Noah still see his Dr. in San Jose Dr. Contini so we make his appointments when we are in town, this event took place on Dec. 30th)
