I think Noah likes Grandma’s toys. He sat in this chair and played for quite a while. Then he figured out that if he moved a little bit it would make noise – there is a “button-thingy” on the seat, so if he moved enough it would trigger it to play again. He was also pretty fasinated with the lamp because it had lights and it would make noise too!
Uncle Reid came over for dinner today so Noah got to play with him for a little bit! It would have been my Dad’s birthday today, so me and Reid had some ice cream for dessert – we know that Dad would have liked that!!!
I also gave Noah a bath today – we usually do bath time at night but we are going to Great Grandma’s house for supper, so we won’t have time tonight. I didn’t bring any bath toys along, but Noah kept himself entertained by reaching for the faucet about the whole time! This made cleaning his arms easy!!!

Well, today I thought I’d let Noah try some blueberries…I think he liked them!! Actually, I haven’t found anything that he doesn’t like!!! Grandma Janice was feeding him and she just couldn’t keep up! He was always ready for more! He’d just sit there with his mouth open waiting for the next spoonful!

Noah’s first Christmas was great!!! We traveled up to Mason City on Monday afternoon. We ended up hitting a detour, so it took us longer to get there – Noah did fine on the trip, it was Rick and I that were getting pretty restless! We opened presents at Rick’s parents house on Christmas Eve. We didn’t time it very well – we ended up opening presents when Noah was getting pretty tired, so he was more interested in sleeping. Christmas Morning we woke up and had some breakfast and then started packing to head to George. On the way through Emmetsburg, we stopped to visit Joni and her family for a little while to try to catch up.
Once we got to George, we had our family Christmas that night. The next day we lounged around and then had to get ready to have my Mom’s side over for Christmas that night. We were supposed to go to Klaassen’s house, but Deb got the flu, so she was obviously not feeling up to having a houseful of guests.
Saturday we had Christmas at Grandma Krull’s at noon. After we opened presents we headed out so we wouldn’t get back to Kansas too late.
We had a great time for Noah’s first Christmas and it was great to see everyone!!! I think Noah was excited to get out of his carseat when we got back though. We laid him on the floor and he just started kicking away!!
By the way, I would post some pictures…but that is the one thing we forgot in Iowa. So until I get our camera back, you’ll have to wait on the pictures. Sorry!! So the picture of Noah here is from Rick’s phone…not the best quality, but it will do for now!

We did the trip around Iowa this week. We first headed to Mason City on Saturday morning. While we were there, Rick wasn’t feeling too well, so we didn’t do too much. We did get to see Grandma Schultz and she got to meet her newest great-grandson for the first time!! See the photos!
On Monday mid-morning, we headed to George with a stop in Emmetsburg to visit Joni. She was working at the hospital, so it was just a quick stop. Once we got to George we stopped at G&G Timmerman’s. Noah made Grandma’s day by falling asleep in her arms!! Then we headed to Mom’s to unpack everything again! Not too long later, Mom came home with Renae, Kahle and Bodee!! I was pretty excited because I thought I wasn’t going to get to see Bodee until the next day! I know everyone says it, but geez, I don’t remember Noah being that little!! And that was only 3 months ago!!
Tuesday we hung out at Mom’s while she worked. Me and Rick tried to give Renae and Bodee a little quite time so they could nap, so we took a walk with Kahle and Noah and headed to Grandma Krull’s. On Tuesday night the whole family got together for our own little “Thanksgiving Dinner”. We’re starting to get to be a big group!!! Those little boys sure do make it fun though!!

Sunday morning we packed up the Durango and headed to Iowa for Noah’s first long trip. We weren’t sure how he would handle the trip, but he was great! He only woke up once to eat and get changed on the trip to George!!
Once we got to George, we stopped by Grandpa & Grandma Timmerman so they could see their great grandson. Then that night our family got together and had Casey’s pizza at Mom’s house. On Monday, Rick headed out to help Reid on the farm and me and Renae…well, we did nothing! We just sat around and talked and relaxed. Around 3:30 we headed to Reid’s farm and we grilled out with the whole family. On Tuesday morning, we went and seen Grandma Krull so she could see Noah and later on me and Mom walked on the George Trail and did some errends while Rick watched Noah for the afternoon. Tuesday night we made the rounds to all the aunts and uncles to show off Noah. He was such a tropper!!! Getting in and out of his car seat and getting held by everyone wore him out!!! Wednesday night we headed over to Ryan & Deanna’s and had supper with them. Thursday morning we woke up and got everything packed up and we headed back to KC.
It is great getting together and I can’t believe how big Jack and Kahle are getting!!!
