Family Photos

Not to ruin the Christmas card surprise, but...didn't my sweet friend Megan do a great job? Obviously some are better than others, but that's going to happen! Let us know if you want some prints. :)

So behind...

You'll forgive me, right? :)

Don't I look good in Mommy's glasses? 
First time riding in the car grocery cart. Noah stayed in the cart through the whole grocery store without fussing! 
Doesn't he look like such a big boy??
A trip to Lebanon meant playing with two push toys at once at Grandma and Grandpa's, watching the Christmas parade with cousin Matthew, and good naps! 





It also meant my first hot air balloon ride with my brother Mark in his balloon, Humble Flight. I love how my whole side of the family comes running to help anytime he says he's going on a flight!

Noah found one of Grandpa's hats and decided to try it on. Isn't he adorable? 

Can you see Noah's nice goose egg? He fell off a two foot slide at daycare. We're proud of him for being able to climb it on his own though!

Snuggling in Mommy and Daddy's bed after a rough night. We've been trying to get rid of that pacifier for four months now, but sometimes it's the only thing that works! 
We painted our bathroom...it used to be a light blue. This is much better.
Sometimes you just really want animal crackers!
I can do it myself, Mom! 
Helping Mommy cook. He hates to be left out!


Christmas decorations!



Our little guy has certainly grown over the past few weeks. We are finally getting tight in 12 month size clothes (he's almost 17 months! Which is crazy to think about anyway...), he's starting to run from room to room--not just walk-- and his vocabulary has increased to about 20 words--those are the ones we can understand anyway! Over the past week he has started jabbering in complete sentences...we don't know what he's saying but he certainly thinks it is very important! He loves to pretend to run away from Daddy and slam his bedroom door shut--that just makes him giggle and giggle. He still loves dancing to any type of music, and animal crackers are his new favorite food. He's scooping food with his spoon and will try really hard to spear with a fork before getting frustrated. He is such a great helper when it comes to cleaning up and knows to put his cup away in the fridge after every meal. He astounds us daily with the things he knows and figures out.We just love him! (Do I end every post that way??).....
