I had so much fun spending some extra time with Daddy home last week. We played and hung out together and we even slept in together!Mommy says I'm just like her and Daddy cause I like my sleep as much as they do:) Here are some pictures to keep you entertained...love you!! Noah

Mommy laughs at the positions she finds me in when I sleep.

Daddy and I were sharing his glasses. I want to be just like him.

Mommy and Daddy are impressed with how strong I'm getting. See, I can hold my head up all by myself. I'm still a little wobbly, but I'm getting there.

And what blog would be complete without the picture of me and Duck. He gives the best hugs!!!!

Noah's Favorite Toy - Duck

What a fast week! Aaron had minor surgery yesterday and we've just been hanging around the house. Its been nice to have Aaron home and Noah is enjoying some more quality time with him.
Noah is growing so much and we are having so much fun as he is beginning to explore his world and communicate more. He "talks" all the time and his smile is always there to warm our hearts.

Its all in the family:) We had so much fun with my brother, Danny here.

We were reading in the chair on Monday and he fell asleep. I had to get up and this was the first thing I could find to help keep him in the same position. He slept through the whole thing:) Wouldn't it be great to be able to sleep wherever you were??!?!

We often bring Noah into the bed when he wakes up in the morning. He loves to sleep on Aaron's pillow and on the mornings that Aaron is in bed too, Noah practically pushes him out of bed:) There have been several times when I wake to find Aaron just barely on his side of the bed, one more inch and he would be out!:) On this particular morning, Noah decided not to sleep on the pillow, but really mark his "turf" and sleep parallel to the pillow:)

Aaron and Noah are bonding after Daddy's surgery

Noah and Mommy are best buds:) (Don't you just love my crazy hair?!?!?)

I love when Noah falls asleep when I'm holding him. I try to take advantage of all the times now, knowing that this time will fly by faster than I want it to.

As we help Noah explore his world, we have brought out many toys to play with and it seems the duck has just stuck:) Its the one toy that he can hold on to and play with. I think its just the right size for him to hold and soft enough that he can squeeze and taste:) By the way, none of the pictures with the duck are posed. We place the duck close by, (on his stomach, by his shoulder, close to his hands), and he does the rest. :)

Uncle Danny's Visit

Uncle Danny, mommy's brother, came to spend time with me this weekend. We had a great time just hanging out inside, trying to stay out of the cold and snow. I hope you all have a great weekend. Love, Noah

Our neighbors Callie and Lilly came over and we played together.

Lilly said I should become a zoo keeper...I'm looking into it.

"Hey, who turned out the lights?!?!?"

This is where I work on the website...

Uncle Danny and I have lots of fun together...

My buddy, Duck spent time together too. I'm practicing the strong-hold Daddy has been teaching me.

Happy Valentines Day

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!

It took Noah several tries to come up with just the right way to find his Valentine, but I think he got it in the end. Follow along on his journey as he perfects his question...

The Bible says God is Love, therefore we should be love too. So in conclusion, you should be my Valentine. (No, no, no...)

You want me to ask what, Mommy?!?! Aren't I too little to be asking this?

PLEASE?!?!?! (No, a little too desperate....)

What am I supposed to ask again?

"Love me Tender, baby" (his Elvis impression, keep trying Noah...)

How you doin'? (a little to Rico Suave...)

You'd better be mine or else. (no, still not right...)

In the end, Noah decided the sign should say it all:):)

Here's a picture of the 6-8 inches of snow we got yesterday...that was fun to dig out.

I love my...fists

Its snowing outside, I think we have at least 6 inches!!! And never have I been more thankful to just stay home. I don't have to drive in this, YIPPEE!!!!! Hope everyone is staying warm!

Noah and I had "Movie Night" He even had his own chair:)

Okay, I love this outfit and had to get one more use out of it before Noah outgrew it. I love the reindeer feet!!!!

I LOVE MY....FISTS.

His favorite toys at the moment are with him at all times:) If he's awake, he's sucking on his fists and I've even heard him gagging himself a couple of times in his exuberance:)

Missing Daddy with Outtakes

We are already halfway through our time with Aaron gone and I am so thankful for him. Until now, I haven't fully appreciated all that Aaron did for me! And I have so much respect for single parents...I definitely couldn't do it for very long!!!! So, thank you Aaron for all you do!! We love and miss you very much and can't wait for you to get home.

I MISS YOU DADDY!!!!!!!

My little lumberjack! He just needs the chainsaw.

I love the patient look on his face while he endures time in his carseat:)

He is becoming such a big boy. During his tummy time, he will spend most of the time like this.

He is also become such a smiler!

The look when the camera gets too close to his face:)

And now, a couple that Noah told me he wanted Daddy to see...

(He's waving to you)

I'm ready to hang out!!!!

Come closer so I can give you a hug...
