New Movie

FINALLY!! We have meant to change the video out forever, but it's never made it to the top of the priority list - until now. Nate loves the play set as much as Noah now and bravely slides down face-first. Check it out!

Nate

We can't get enough of Nate and his little mouth wide open.

Nate

Nate is now strong enough to play in his exersaucer. He loves it! If Nate's in there, Noah gets a little jealous and wants to get in too. I wish I had taken a picture of him in there - he looks like a beast!

Playtime

This afternoon we borrowed Mimi's kiddie pool. PS: Noah thinks that is such a funny name for a pool. Anyway, every time he plays in it he makes, serves, and sells us drinks. It seems like most of his selections are $20 (which seems a little steep to me). I have to admit, though, that I received really good service being that I was his only customer today and he probably wants me to come back.

After I sampled (and payed for) all of my drinks, he jumped in.

He is pretending to be a shark, whale and dolphin in these pictures, but don't ask me which is which.

As usual, Nate just hung out and watched. I can't begin to tell you how much he loves it outside. If he ever just won't stop crying, we just bring him out and ta-da - happy boy!

So Noah says to me, "Mommy, I have special treat?" I say, "Like what? It's just about lunch time." His response, "Peach!?" What kid asks for a peach for a special treat? Mine! Yay! I don't mean to brag. We have other issues. This just isn't one of them.



He finishes his sandwich in the pool to get away from the fly that is trying to eat it. I know what you're thinking: "Sarah let Noah out of his highchair AND eat in the pool?" I know. I know. I was having a moment. And it was worth it. Noah loved it. Besides, when he was done, I brought some soap and a washcloth out to wipe off his peach juice. Easy!

At Home

Noah has really been enjoying the time we spent at home today...


Meanwhile, there's this guy...

Jay asked Noah to watch Nate for a second. When he returned, he returned to this...

When Noah got up from his afternoon nap, he looked around and said, "Where's my baby brother?" I think we are really making some progress with this jealousy thing we dealt with the last couple days. Things are looking good!! They're on their way to being best friends!!

Brotherly Bonding

After helping Daddy put together the play mat, Noah decided he was going to join Nate and give him the grand tour. He was eager to show him all the animals, colors, and sounds. It was really cute to watch and hear him say, "Look, Baby Nate! Look! Here's the sun - here's the giraffe!" Meanwhile, Nate's practically asleep not even facing Noah's direction. Things are definitely getting better for their relationship.

Brotherly Bonding

Noah is definitely still adjusting to Nate. He has his moments where he wants to be in the swing and be pushed but this time he wanted to push Nate (a little high AND rough) but it was only because he knows that's how he likes to be pushed.

Sandbox Fun

Even though we're well into 100 degree weather, Noah still loves to be outside. Jay took him out to play in the sandbox this afternoon. In order to keep him cool, he sprayed the hose on the mist setting while he played. Then, of course, he had to run through the sprinkler to rinse off.

Playtime

After breakfast this morning, Noah played at this toddler play area. He had so much fun exploring everything and chasing around the other kids.
