Happy Birthday Buddy!

Today is Kaden's first birthday and Noah enjoyed going to his fun party! Just a pic of the birthday boy. They haven't seen each other for a few weeks so when they first found each other today their eyes lit up and they did their little screaming hellos... little buddies are so cute!

Also happy birthday to Faith, Lydie and Brittney! Today is quite the popular day! =)

He's Walking!!!!!

so finally he found his confidence and has taken off! no more 2-3 steps, he's finally walking everywhere! this is just a very short video of him walking...the batteries died while i was filming it!! but we have more on the handycam and i'm sure i'll get more on here of him whizzing around!

a little adventurous

noah was getting a little fussy last night, so since bryan took the car to work, i plopped him in the stroller and decided to just go walk around some of the stores near us. half way through we stopped at mcdonald's, just to take advantage of the playground so noah could get out and move. i haven't been in one in quite a while, so i was amazed at the four story (pint size stories that is) climbing thingy, which was the only thing to play on. being all enclosed i wasn't sure i wanted him to play in it (it isn't made for adults at all) and wasn't sure he'd want to. well before i knew it he laughed and took off up the pipe, through the bubble and to the windy stairs, which he proceeded to climb. he'd look down at me and laugh every now and then, and continue to go up. well, the third story is mostly enclosed tubes and such, of which i lost my son! i wasn't sure quite what to do, not having another child with me who i could send after him, and knowing i couldn't get him myself. so i just waited and figured he'd have to come down eventually (and if i had to i would send a tiny teenage burger flipper up there to get him!). about five minutes later his little face pops up in the screen way up high and he starts waving to me and laughing, then disappears again. finally he decides to come down and when i could reach him i slowly pulled him to 'safety'! of course then he cried because he wanted to go back up... but my heart had had enough stress!

then today we went to a new park with this big climbing rock wall on one side, which he proceeded to climb three different times (with mommy close behind of course!!)...

i think i'm raising quite the adventurer!

oh and walking news!! he does take about 4 steps now on his own, and even let's go of my hand on his own! today at the park he took 9 steps and only stopped when he found an empty french fry box! yay for noah!

nunu

noah and daddy were having fun with his shark pj's last night! and as i'm typing this the video is playing and noah is cracking up watching it!

sorry about no shirt on bryan...that happens when he comes home from camp in 90 degree weather all day! who can blame him!

Super Noah!

Bryan works the Dublin Irish Festival every year so I finally had to get a pic of him in his 'skirt'...yes i know, a kilt... but still! So while he was there, Noah and I spent the day at Grandma and Grandpa King's! Grandpa made the rocking chair just for Noah! it has no nails or sharp edges and he just loves to rock in it! he has been making a lot of neat woodcrafts for noah, including a ton of trucks and cars that noah loves to push around and make noises!

and of course the title of this post is super noah! and why? i know it's hard to see on the pics, but his shirt has a star on it that says Super Noah! we'll work on the whole not being conceited thing as we go... =) thanks amy and kaden for the super fun shirts!! =)

clippers game

sylvan gave us free tickets to the clippers game tonight so a bunch of us went and had a lot of fun! noah loved the chicken, which was hilarious! it was a good time!
and when we left clippers were winning 9-2,..we were able to see several homeruns, bases loaded plays, and some other good baseball things you don't get to see a lot of at one game! a lot of fun!

all boy

since bryan was gone with camp for a few days, noah, the dogs, and i jumped in the car and went to see grandma wilma in michigan! on the way he fell asleep with his hand in his snack cup...and it stayed there for two hours!! colin got him the shirt 'i do all my own stunts', which fits him perfectly with the four wheeler and tricycle and climbing he's been doing lately! he also loves the computer, and was fascinated with my sister's laptop (which she didn't know about til now!) =) and of course i had to take a picture of his new shirt amy got him... 'my mommy is blogging this! :)' is that not the perfect shirt? you'll see it again on the clippers pics since i took a lot of pics of him all day today!

**one slight note...i broke the new camera, but it still takes pics, i just don't know what i'm taking a pic of...so far most of them are still pretty good! obviously i'm not going to post all the bad ones! =)**
