Brothers

The boys are really starting to interact with each other. It's so fun to watch. John thinks Noah is hilarious!

More Fall Fun

Last week, we made our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun!

He insisted on riding in the pumpkin cart.

Sweet little pun'kin

Costume change!

My three boys!

Happy Fall!

A Big Boy Bed

Sadly, we had to get Noah a new bed. He got too tall for his round crib. I loved having him in the crib. But, he's doing so well with the new bed. He's not gotten out of the bed. He always calls for us when he wakes up. Such a good little boy. The first few nights he woke up and couldn't find his froggy. We're past that now...thankfully!

Hmmm...

John's new expression... Makes for a moist shirt.

Spinach goatee

Look at those curls!

Really! Who doesn't strap their baby in these things???

MIZ-ZOU!

We took Noah to the Mizzou game a few weeks ago. It was lots of fun. My brother and his wife also came with their son, Aiden. We may have forgotten our tickets. Luckily some sweet friends who were also going to the game picked them up for us.

Checking out the field

M-I-Z...Z-O-U!

It's Truman!

On second thought, I don't want to get that close! (Not exactly the Kodak moment we were hoping for...)

Buddies

I think I'm seeing yellow...

He's Got Spunk!

It's hard to believe, but John is already 7 months. It really has flown by. He's developed a bit of spunk. I used to think Noah and John had pretty similar temperaments, but John was a little more laid back. Not so. A more accurate statement would be John can play by himself better. He is so loud. He yells and screams. In fact, someone who has watched both boys in the nursery commented on how much noisier John is than Noah was at that age. John is also a constant ball of motion. Unfortunately, he'd rather be moving and checking things out than snuggling...

The boy is also huge. He's moved to a stage 2 carseat already. Noah was 14 months before we moved him and he was too long not too heavy. It makes me a little sad. He's getting so big so fast. At last check, he was 22 pounds.

7 Months

Sweet boys!

And, of course, Noah had to take a picture of Froggy. His aim is much better that it used to be...He captured all of Froggy and not just his legs.

Omissions

I have unfortunately left out a few things recently that I intended to write about... So, let's catch up.

We held up "traffic" getting on the plane from New York. The pilot invited Noah into the cockpit and let him take the plane for a spin. (Okay, not really.)

Noah loves to help mommy and daddy regardless of what we're doing. He was helping me clean up the flower beds and I couldn't resist taking a picture of his getup.

The night before Noah's first day of school, Greg and I took him out to dinner. (John stayed home with Miss Emily.) He got to pick where we went to dinner. He picked Chick-fil-A...

A few weeks ago, while playing outside, Noah started digging in the dirt around the new ties we just had replaced. (The grass hadn't grown back in yet. And, it still hasn't.) I thought it was fine at the time and later realized perhaps that wasn't the best idea I've ever had. There is now a large void. And he's sporting a dirt mustache.

John isn't crawling yet, but he is all over the place!! A few weeks ago, I put him on his gym in my room. I was in my bathroom getting ready. I could hear him playing having a good time. When I came out, he was under the chair. I'm not really sure how he got under there... By the time I got back with the camera, he'd wormed his way out from under the chair.

A couple of weeks ago, we went to a birthday party. There were pony rides, animals to pet, a bounce house...lots of fun things. Noah refused the ride the pony, but John thought it was a good time.

Boys and Dirt

What is it about boys and dirt? We went to the Kirkwood Park with our sweet friend Julie. There were all kinds of fun swings and slides and things to climb on. What did Noah do?

At least he was having fun...

He did take Ms. Julie for a ride.

And, John had so much fun, he just couldn't stay awake.

Fall is Here

I love fall. It's not hot and humid, the leaves change colors... It's just a really fun time. (Greg might disagree... He's in charge of raking the 6 tons of leaves that fall from our trees.)

The boys are starting to interact with each other more. It's so cute. John thinks Noah is hilarious. It's so fun to watch them.



I've been telling Noah John is going to be bigger than he is... This picture makes it look like that day is drawing very near. (In reality, he still has a way to go. Thankfully!!)
