park

Today was such a beautiful, fall day. Noah and I headed off to the park to play and burn off some energy. He was so happy to be running around outside, that I had to grab my camera and take a picture of his happy self...

more pumpkins!

The weather is heating back up, but we decided to head over to the pumpkin patch again last week. This farm had so many different animals to look at, plus a bee farm! Noah picked out another pumpkin, but was most interested in their barn kitten that was roaming their pumpkin field.



So happy to be looking at baby chickens...

18 months

Noah had his 18 month wellness check today and I couldn't be more pleased....He's finally on the charts for his weight!!! You would've thought that his pediatrician told me that I won the lottery, I was so excited! Ok, it's only about the 8th percentile, but he's on it. He weighed in at 22.1 lbs and his height was 33.5 inches (70th percentile). Way to go little dude!

Yes, it's that face again from Noah...




Here's a video clip of him reading one of his favorite books...the video is super long, he got distracted halfway through the book and started picking up lint from his rug.

Happy Sabbath

It's so hard to get a 'normal' smile from him these days. Whenever I say 'smile', or 'cheese', this is what we get...Here he is hamming it up before church today!

Pumpkin Patch

I can't believe it's already this time of year again....I feel like it was just yesterday that we took Noah to the pumpkin patch for the first time! The weather has cooled down (finally), so we decided to head over to the pumpkin farm with the Wilkinsons to get in the mood of fall...

It's so hard to get them to look and smile at the camera at the same time!

we love vacations

What a fun vacation we've had so far...We started off our week by heading over to Scottsdale to spend some time with Uncle Danny and Uncle Mark. We passed our days eating, shopping, swimming, and going to the train museum. Noah was loving all the attention he was getting from grandparents, and Matt and I were lucky enough to enjoy a date night at the movies!









After Arizona, we all headed down to the San Diego Zoo. It's fun to watch Noah's fascination with animals grow as he gets older. He was running around everywhere, squealing whenever he saw animals.







Finally, we capped off our week at the Long Beach Aquarium, where we escaped the heat of the Inland Empire. We decided to get season passes here as well, since Noah enjoyed himself so much. We're so lucky to live in an area with so many neat things for children to see!

1st haircut

Well, we finally did it...after months of putting it off, we decided to give our boy a little trim. We got it cut at this kid's salon where they had this cool little jeep that Noah could sit in. To be honest, I don't think he even noticed that he was getting a haircut, he was having so much fun. Meanwhile, I'm gasping and being dramatic about his hair being trimmed, he was having a blast! She cut less than an inch off, but I can definately tell...his curls are bouncier than ever.
