Noah

We went over to Lake Lenexa to take some 1 year photos of Noah. I can’t believe he is going to be one on Monday!!! This last year has gone so fast!!!
Noah was really focused on about everything except for the camera! He really likes the mulch…and of course tried to eat some!!! You can check out the other photos on this website.
Enjoy!!!

Noah
Noah is walking!!! He took his first steps on June 26th…I know, I know, it took me 2 1/2 weeks to finally post about it!! In my defense, I was in George for a week and then Renae and the boys were here for a week, so I wasn’t really being very productive those two weeks!!!
He’s doing pretty good at his walking, he just needs to realize he can not walk thru everything! The other day he was walking and there was a toy in his way, but he kept walking and tripped over it. He fell forward into the fireplace mantel and hit his head pretty hard. He had a bump and it turned red right away, but it didn’t turn out to be as big a bruise as I thought it was going to!!
He has also figured out how to get down off a step, so that is good!! He turns around and starts to move one leg down until it reaches the floor or the next step. Then the other leg comes down. If we see him do it and say “Good Job Noah”, he’ll stop and clap for himself!

This was in our Olathe Newsletter that we just received – so if anyone is looking at moving…Olathe is a great place to live!!!

Family,
Noah

We headed back to Olathe on Sunday with Renae, Kahle and Bodee. Renae’s husband Micah was going to be out of town for this week, so we thought it would be great if she stayed with us for the week!!!! I can’t believe how fast this week is going already!!!
On Tuesday morning we headed to the Deanna Rose Farmstead so the kids could look at the animals. That night we went down to the pool for a swim.

Here’s a couple of more pictuers from this week so far….

Noah

The other night we went out to eat with the neighbors at Taco Bueno. We were getting ready to leave and I put some formula in Noah’s diaper bag andĀ filled his sippy cup with water. Grabbed my purse and we walked out the door. Once we got to the restaurant, I realized I forgot to grab his cup! So I guess-timated about how much water I needed and put it in a regular cup. The straw was a little big, so we cut it in half, hoping that Noah would drink out of it…and he did!!! Yeah!!! Now if I can just remember a bib!!
