Noah 10 months

Our little Noah is 10 months and as of today, almost 11 months! He turned 10 months while we were on vacation through Arkansas, Tennessee and Texas. His two top teeth broke through which makes 4 teeth total. He's eating more and more table food and will try just about anything!  He's crawling everywhere and pulling up like a champ. He wants to be everywhere Seth is and doing what he's doing.  Just a heads up, if you are in the lake area on September 21 come by Noah's 1st birthday party at Riverview from 3:30-5pm!

Noah 9 months

3 months shy of being 1 year old?! How is this possible?! Our little man went to 9 month check up at our new pediatrician in Eldon, a city 20 min north of the lake.  I heard lots of good things about her, and they were all true! Our experience was great! Noah weighed in at 17lbs 14oz (30%) and 28in long (20%).  Seth weighed a little over 19lbs and 28.25in long at 9 months.  Noah in a matter of days went from taking a few crawling steps to all out master crawler! He's trying to pull up and stand up alot! He's everywhere and wants to be where Seth is and do whatever he's doing.  One of Noah's favorite things is to go into Seth's room every morning (he squeals when we reach the door) and sit on his bed and play for awhile.  He's trying his hand at table food and is becoming an expert at picking up cheerios!

monthly pictures are getting infinitely harder now that he wants to crawl away

Swimming Lessons

Excited to say that Seth is in swim lessons! And loving it! He's doing so well.  He goes twice a week for about 30 minutes. They practice putting their face in the water as well as using the kick board to practice kicking.  The teacher helps them with front float and back float.  The ymca is using the racquet club pool to do swim lessons.  And since we are staying there we thought it couldn't be more convenient!

Riverview VBS 2013

We had a great VBS this year! Seth got to participate for the first time and he loved it! He got to be with the 4 year olds since he had a good friend in that class and he was the oldest in the younger class.  He kept up like a champ! The evening before VBS started we had a carnival with games and a bounce house.  Seth went in the bounce house all by himself, we think it was because his friend Carter went in! A little positive peer pressure...and he had a blast! The VBS theme this year was Kindgom Chronicles and we emphasized the armor of God and the kids made a piece of armor each day and learned about each piece.  Seth is really into knights, swords and shields so he loved every bit of it! They also had a comptetion to see which grades brought the most money to go to missions.  The team that brought the most go to throw a pie in Spencer and Steve's (the associate/youth pastor) face. They all loved it...especially Seth!
