Spidey Hat

I absolutely adore you in this cute little Spidey hat. You have been wearing it ever since I picked it up for you in Tennessee. Everyone always stops us to tell us how completely cute you are in it, and I couldn't agree more!

First Word: Mama

Noah said his first word on the first of October. We were sitting in Tony Romas having dinner when all of the sudden he just started saying 'Mamamamamamamama'. I looked at Doug and he looked at me, then we looked at Noah and he looked right at me and said 'Ma Ma'. Now I know he had no idea that I was Ma Ma, but I got the biggest smile on my face. I cannot express the thrill in my heart that his first word was the name I was to be called by him for the rest of my life.

7 Month Portraits

While we were in Tennessee we had Noah's portraits made at Target. They take such great pictures! We love how these turned out. Such a cute little man!

Watching Football With Daddy

Doug loves to sit with you on his lap and watch football with you. He explains the plays to you and pulls your hands up when ever there is a touchdown for team he is rooting for... Love it.

Monkey Business

Mom has had this monkey, Rose Bud, for years... well into my childhood. Noah took quite the liking to him... I laughed and laughed at him playing with her. He kissed her and kissed her and loved on her... so funny.

More Saucer Fun

First Feel Of Grass

This was the first time we set Noah in the grass instead of on a blanket outside. He was so very curious about it -- sweeping his hand across it over and over again. We were surprised he didn't try to eat a big handful of it, but he never did attempt it. It was cute how he just touched it again and again.

Phoebe Kiss

Noah tolerated these so well! Phoebe loved to kiss Noah's face - especially if he had just eaten!

Little Tennessee Titan

Grammy and Papa sent you this outfit so you could be their little Tennessee Titan fan. You looked soooo cute in it!

Daddy Loves To Do This To You....

It cracked us both up!

Look! New Teeth!

If you look closely you can see his new teeth!

Vegging With Mama

One of our favorite things to do together!

Mommy Love

I rock Noah to sleep for every nap and every night. I remember hearing caregivers say how bad this is.... clearly they have never rocked their own baby to sleep. I would not give up rocking him or holding him or snuggling him close for anything else in the world.

He's Ready

for some basketball!...well, atleast he'll look cute anyway!
