You are growing so fast! You are looking around and watching things now - you love to watch the dogs as they dart around you while you lay on the floor. Mommy loves dressing you up in all your cute little man clothes. It is true joy that you bring to our lives. We adore you and love you more each day.

I was so excited to share Noah with all of our family. I couldn't wait to get over to Mom's house and see Chris, Amie and all the rest of our family to show him to them. It was wonderful to see Christina's huge smile as she and Uncle Chris walked through the door and said 'Hand me that baby and let me give him some loving!'. I know she had been so excited to see him and hold him. Later Amie and John came in and it was good to see that A was doing well - Baby Olivia would be joining the family in September and Noah would have his first cousin. Uncle Brian and Aunt Birdie came by also to meet Noah and see everyone. Even Mommy's long time friend Stephanie drove up from Athens to meet him! Such happy times. :)
While we were staying at Mom's house Noah got to sleep in my, Chris and Amie's old crib. Mom had saved it all this time and she had it set up and ready when we got there for Noah to sleep in. I was so surprised, as I hadn't seen it in years (and years!). He slept just fine in the old bed and it was really pretty neat to see him snuggled up in there.
Noah made his first trip on an airplane when he was eight weeks old. We flew to Tennessee to share him with all of our family for the first time. Don and Darla picked us up at the airport that night and Don carried Noah out of the gate. It was precious to watch this first meeting of Papa and grandson.
