I'm too sexy for my shirt

18 Months and a Big Boy Bed!!!!!

Yesterday Noah turned 18 months!!! I cannot believe my baby is 1 1/2!! Where has the time gone?

A year ago he turned 6 months!

Also, we bought Noah a Firetruck bed from craigslist!!! It was pretty nasty when we picked it up but some soap and some vacuuming (dead ladybugs YUCK!!!) later and it's pretty close to brand new!! He LOVES it!! He's been playing with it all morning, and I'm not sure I've ever seen him happier. Instead of greeting Daddy when he came home this morning he just yelled "TRUCK!!!"

Some pics from this morning


(saying "truck!")

He actually said "Cheese!" and smiled!! It's been so long since he hammed and didn't totally avoid the camera!!

Fun at Grandma's

Noah spent the night at Grandma's (or Amma's as he says) last night!
These are a few pics taken from today when I came to pick him up.

And he even got to visit with his Great Grandma for a little bit!

Family Reunions

Last weekend we had two family reunions! I pretty much spent my time chasing Noah around the entire time. He had a blast running around and.. well, being a boy :) Jumping in puddles climbing on things he shouldn't and eating!

These are some pics of Noah at the second of the two reunions, which was at a park.

And a picture taken by my mom of us

Puddin'

I had coupons (from my Grandma) So I bought some pudding.. I never buy pudding.
I thought Noah might like some so I put some in a bowl and just let him at it!

I'm pretty sure the pictures alone can tell you what he thought of it...


... oh and did I mention I forgot to use the coupons anyways. Haha!

Bubbles and Puddles!

I would be lying if I said this was Noah's first encounter with Bubbles, but this was the first time he showed any interest in them! I bought a bubble gun the other day and thought it would be fun.. I was right, we had a blast playing with the bubbles!

He stole my bubble gun

Later that day we got some storms and between them we went out and played it puddles. Noah had SO much fun! Unfortunately I only brought my phone down to take pictures because I didn't want to risk my camera getting wet. No matter the quality of the pictures, you can still tell how much fun he had!

Happy 4th of July!

This year was much more eventful than last since Noah was up and running, and not just laying around being cute :) I thought I would share some pics!

We went to Sawdust Days on the 3rd and Noah "enjoyed" a pony ride. He wasn't so sure of it when he was on it, but was not happy when it was over LOL!

This is the phase we're going through right now, it's a blast! ;)

We can't have Noah pictures without a silly face!!

We spend the day of the 4th with Adam's newly found family (for those of you who don't know the story, Adam recently reconnected with his Dad and family after MANY years of not being able to have a relationship with them. They found each other on Facebook and it has turned into a really great thing!)

Getting a ride from Grandpa!

5 generations!!!

And just some more cuteness!

Noah's *2nd* Haircut!!

Noah got his second haircut this past week! He is growing up so fast!
Everyone remember his first haircut???

Let's recap..

Needless to say, Noah WAS NOT a fan of the whole haircut business last time around!

How did he do this time you ask?? Well, lets start with the before pictures!!

Last time brushing his long locks

To my surprise Noah did GREAT for his second haircut!! But I give all the credit to the suckers he got! He just ate his sucker and hung out like the cool little dude he is.

And for the Reveal...
