Naps, bunny ears and picnics

Noah seems to fall asleep at the funniest times. He had been crying all day one day last week and as a last ditch effort, I took him to the backyard and sat on the chairs. He likes to watch/hear the birds, and anything that might pass by. Pretty soon, I looked over and there he was fast asleep!

My bunny ears...

What?!?! You mean I'm stuck with these?!?!?

How am I supposed to impress the ladies with these things stuck to my head?!?

Oh...you mean I don't have to wear them forever?

Okay, I'll go back to playing now...

Actually, these might be kind of fun...hehehe

Our visit to the park

We went to the park with several other moms from church and ended up having a blast! It was great to have other kids Noah's age there too. Noah hates wearing his hats, but with his little bald head, I'm afraid he's going to burn:) So, we keep trying...atleast he had interesting things to watch.

Thanks, Auntie Marlene and Uncle Mike! We love his cute outfit and who knew the writing on the front could be a toy! He wouldn't stop sticking it in his mouth!:) (the shirt says-Little Guys Rule)

Our gathering under the trees. Noah is sitting inside the boppy in the middle of the picture, being entertained by another little boy.

The women even got to have a little fun!:)

Noah and his buddy, Locke! Aren't they a cute pair?!

(Locke is 3 months older than Noah...look how big of a difference there is?!?! With the way Noah is eating, he will soon be up to Locke's size!)

Ducks back! and my little bird

We wore Noah out one day, that he actually fell asleep ( and stayed that way) on Aaron's shoulder. He NEVER does that! Aaron said it was a perfect 1st Fathers day present.

DUCK IS BACK!!!!!

(after an extended vacation, Duck finally decided to return:))

This is duck and I getting reacquainted.

See, I closed my eyes and he reappeared, like this...

I love my Duck.

Did I mention that he tastes pretty good too?

MY LITTLE BIRD

He loves to eat. Once he figured it out, and I stopped making it so soupy, he couldn't get enough. One night this week, he had 3 bowlfuls! But I say he is my little bird, because he will grunt and make noises and then hold his mouth open, ready and waiting:)

This is the face he makes when I don't get the spoon to his mouth fast enough:)

Noah fell asleep during dinner this week:)

To my husband, and Noah's daddy...

The Best Man I Ever Knew
When we married, I saw you as perfect,

The ideal husband and more;

I thought I knew all about you,

All the things to love and adore.
But when you became a father,

I saw new qualities to treasure.

You enrich our lives in fresh new ways;

As a dad, you bring so much pleasure.
Our child is forever blessed

To have a father like you,

And I love you more than ever,

You’re the best man I ever knew.
By Joanna Fuchs

Thank you Aaron for all you do for us. We love you so very much!!!! E & N

We have had a couple of really busy weeks! Once Aaron joined us, the time flew by! We had a great time, but are glad to be back to our slow pace of life. I'm not sure how well I could keep up with that fast pace anymore!:) We really enjoyed our time with all our friends and family and already miss you all!!! Hope to see you again soon!
Aagin, bear with me as there are MANY pictures to post from the rest of our trip...

I made sure to spend a lot of time in the mountains...I really miss them!

Isn't that an incredible view?!?!

Noah and I enjoyed looking over the whole city!

Noah found a new playmate in the form of his Uncle Danny.

Noah finally found a house and fence that were his size!

Clowning around with Uncle Danny.

Danny, Dad and I were goofing around one night with Danny Dance Revolution...its a way to get great exercise.

Noah loved hanging out with his Lolli...

...and his Noni.

Noah wanted to test ride Uncle Robb's bike

Here's a rare photo of Noah and I. He's telling you how much he loves hanging out:)

Visiting our friends, Steph and Dustin. Doesn't Noah look proud to be between the ladies?!?!:)

We got Noah his first pair of sunglasses...looks like it will take a little while to get adjusted to them.

Papa and Noah spent lots of time bonding.

3 Generations! Great Grandma Langness, Aaron and Noah

Our date night with Jeremy and Mary...hopefully next time we'll be less boring so you can stay awake for the picture, Mary:)

Aaron and I spent a day out 4-wheeling up in the mountains with Aaron's dad and his dad's friend. It was SOOO much fun. That will definitely become an annual event.

We went to the zoo with Uncle Danny. And I finally got to see my giraffes and elephants. We don't have those at our zoo at home!

This is the first time I've ever seen a giraffe in trouble:)

They all managed to fit into this pot...should I say...going to the zoo with Danny is a hilarious, interesting event:)

Uncle Danny and Noah check out the lion's paw. They determined that Noah still has a ways to grow.
Noah wanted to show you the animal that he thought looked really funny...a komodo dragon.

Mommy and Noah next to one of Mommy's favorites...the elephant. (Check out the awesome view in the background-the zoo is on a mountain that overlooks the city)

Noah's first real food. He wasn't sure he liked it and then he couldn't get enough. He hated the baby spoon.:)
