New dishwasher/new helper...

So I was loading the top rack of my dishwasher and when I looked down this is what I saw. Of course I did the mom take and said, "Do I take him off and tell him no" or do I run for the camera first. Let's just say the camera happened to be on the table.

What other new ideas for toys can you come up with from mom's cabinets? This seemed like a good one... (no, he is not licking it he was making faces at me)

I LOVE the pool

A wonderful friend let us come over to play in the pool today. Noah loved the water and got to try out his new float. He loved the pool and even went down a kiddie slide into the water. He thought it was great. Thanks Leanne for the invite!!

The Beach!

We just got back from the beach a few days ago. We had a wonderful time with family and were sad to return. Noah loved the ocean and sand. Uncle Jay made some awesome sand castles to play in. He did great in the car for the most part. He's a little nervous about his carseat now though and wondering how long the trip is going to be. Can't wait til next year! Enjoy the pics. (hard to pick just one!) Noah is really growing up fast. He can't wait to walk and is getting close!?! I'm not sure I feel about this yet.

Ready for the ocean..

I love the water.

I woke mom and dad up way to early so she took me to the beach before anyone else was out there. A whole beach to myself...YEAH!!

Uncle Jay's race car. This was the only time I would wear my sunglasses and it didn't last long.

Getting cleaned up. Mom and dad would hose me down after coming out of the sand.

I'm a fisherman.

Mom can't resist taking pictures of me.

Newest family photo.

tatoo

This is what happens when you leave your little boy at home with dad for the weekend. I went to Windy Gap this weekend with some friends to get the camp ready for summer. I left Matt in charge of Noah at home and received these pictures through a friends text. I must admit Matt had the hard job. Along with Matt being sick; Noah has been very sick this weekend with a few different things (cold, ear infections, congestion...) He's doing much better, but Matt had a tough job.

HAIRCUT!!!!

Noah had his first haircut today. I couldn't handle the hair in his eyes anymore. I don't think he could either, rubbing his eyes every few minutes.

Before...

During...

After...

It doesn't look the best, but it will do for the first time. Will I do it again? I don't know, but at least he doesn't have hair in his eyes anymore. Oh, and we gave him crackers to eat while I was cutting so he would sit still. It worked for the most part.

---------------------------------------------------------

Here's a picture from a windows down car ride the other day. I forgot to post it. Noah didn't seem to mind the wind and actually was laughing the whole way to the store.

bubble bath

Noah also had his first bubble bath yesterday. He thought it was great when he would splash in the water and see all the bubbles move. I did not think this completely through I must admit and will need/use some different planning next time. I still consider it a success since I have a clean baby!

Sad realization

So, I will sometimes let Noah try new foods while I am cooking in the kitchen. A lot of times he crawls in from his playroom to find out what's going on. Yesterday was no different. Anyway, I gave him a small piece of broccoli to try which is promptly pulled out of his month and then crawled over to Polly and gave it to her. Yes, you read that right. He took it to her and fed her. I wish I could say that this only happened once, but he did the same thing with his cucumber piece. I know he throws food off his tray at meal times, but I didn't really think he understood he was feeding the dog. I guess he knows where to go when he doesn't like something on his plate. Isn't he a little young for that?!?
