Noah's 1st birthday party

Saturday September 21st was the perfect day for Noah's birthday party! The weather could not have been more perfect! We had his party at our church with family and friends. Since I have no idea what kind of things the boys are into at a year old, I usually do their party how their nursery was decorated. Noah's was a construction theme. Seth's was a sports theme. I had a lot of help from my mom ( who made the used tire sign) and my friend Heather the day of the party with last minute things. And of course spencer was a big help in getting the room set up the night before! Noah loved all the excitement and trying to keep up with the big kids (Seth and his friends). He had a feat time opening all of his wonderful gifts and diving into his cake. He was pretty cautious at first then took some good bites. Eventually some of it ended up in his hair! We had a great day and both boys slept really well that night! We missed our family and friends that weren't able to be there!! 

Indians and Tigers

Football season is in full swing! A couple of weeks ago our weekend was filled with high school and college football! Friday night we went to the Osage home game-go Indians! It's a 1 high school town which reminded me of Mansfield, my home town! (But now instead of 1, it has 5 high schools). Seth loved all the excitement and seeing friends from church and school! We left after watching the band-which Seth loved if course. The next day spencer took Seth and went with a buddy and his little boy to the Mizzou game! Seth and Blaine go to school together and are really good friends. You can tell by the pics it was hot in game day but the kids did greasy and had a lot of fun!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH

I can't say enough how fast this year has gone! Maybe it's because we have 2 now and I don't have time to sit and think about it most days. He's still a pretty relaxed kid most of the time. He really loves to be around Seth and play right beside him or mess up his perfectly stacked Legos. Noah already loves to wrestle and climb on Seth too, that will be much more interesting later. He's crawling everywhere and standing for a few seconds by himself. He's even taken one tiny step.  He can walk pretty well with a push toy but not great yet. Little man is sleeping thru the night really well and is taking 2 naps a day...sometimes 1 if the day is crazy, like Sundays. Good thing he's our more relaxed kid not to mention a little more adventurous and not as cautious as Seth. At his 1 yr check up he weighed 21lbs 10 oz (50%) and was 30in (60%). We are looking forward to his birthday party this weekend at our church!

Noah 11 months

Our Noah turned 11 months on Aug 8. This year has literally flown by! I guess it's just being busy with two littles that I don't have time to stop and think about it all. He weighs about 20lbs eats 3 meals a day with 1-2 snacks. We are slowly weaning him off the bottle (he can already dring from a sippy cup). I'm also mixing whole milk with formula and eventually he'll just be on milk. So ready to be off formula $$$ milk is so much cheaper! Fun facts about this month:

-he takes 2 naps a day

-smiles so easily

-plays well by himself or with Seth 

-wants to be anywhere Seth is and do what he's doing or play with what he's playing with

-eating more and more table food. He will try just about anything 

-he's in 12 month clothes. Can wear wear some 18 month too

-can say words like "mama" "dadda" "go" "ni ni" ( night night)

- he can mimic voice inflection 

-no longer cries when I drop him off at church nursery...most times 

- he's into everything. I mean everything. 

- he's our climber

- he can point to his belly button, head and foot if asked

- he loves to do patty cake 

- fast crawler

- can pull up easily and cruise around tables and the couch by holding on

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!
