Happy Birthday Noah!!!

Today is Noah's birthday! As I am writing this, it is 9:35 PM...so in about an hour, a year ago, Noah was being born. He was born at 10:20 PM by c-section. Praise God for such an amazing gift! Adam and I had no idea what we were getting into, but it's been a great journey and we look forward to many, many, many more years!! More updates to come!

First trip to the Park!

Today was BEAUTIFUL!!! A little too warm for my tastes, as I like it in the mid 70's and it was in the mid 80's today, but Noah and Adam loved it! Noah's developing a bit of cold, but it didn't stop him from wanting to be out in the fresh air. We took a stroller ride and then went to Battell Park. He's been to the park with Adam's mom, but he's never been with us, so we wanted to make our own memories with him at there! Here are some of my favorite pictures:

Family!

The reason I haven't posted in about a week is that we have had company! It was glorious to have my mom here for 4 days! She was such a help and by the end of the week, I think Noah had finally warmed up to her again. I feel bad because she doesn't get to see him that often and even though she sees him over the webcam, it's not the same as seeing him in person, so he didn't recognize her for a couple of days. He did give her this look like he was studying her face they whole time she was down, so I think he knew that he was supposed to know her from somewhere and was trying to figure out why she looked so familiar. Anyway! We had a great time having her here and are very excited that she will be back down in about a week and a half for Noah's party!

The Adrian Frys also stopped by last week to visit. It was WONDERFUL to see them as well. We haven't seen them since Noah was about 4 months old, so it was really nice to catch up and show them how much Noah has changed in the past 8 months! I know Noah had a lot of fun with them and it was a great visit.

You are all welcome to stop down and visit us, just give us a little heads up to let us know when you're coming so we can make sure we clean up after our little munchkin!

Walking soon??

Adam took this video of Noah walking with his new walker that Grandma Toodie bought him. I thought you all would enjoy it :) I also included an Easter pic of the family, but Noah's not paying attention. Too much going on in the room for him to concentrate on a camera!

The hot days of summer.....in April?

Well, we hit a record 85 degrees here yesterday. In APRIL?!? I called my mother and they're having 70 degree weather, in the UP, IN APRIL!!!! Those of you that do not believe global warming is taking place need to wake up and start looking around. Noah is SO excited about the weather starting to warm up. He loves to be outside, so I have been taking him for 1 or 2 walks every day that I'm home with him that it's not raining outside. He enjoys saying, "hi," to the geese and every other passerby. He's pointing a lot now and saying words, so I'm having a grand old time teaching him the words for objects in the house and outside now. He says "heese" for geese, "bir" for bird, and "da" for door.

Noah is also starting to really look like a toddler, as you can most likely see from the picture above. Adam's mom got him a push walker, so before I know it, he's going to be wandering around the apartment getting into more things than he already does! I can't believe he's going to be 1 on the 27th of this month! All those people who told me that time really flies when you have a baby were right!
