Gordon-o-Lantern

In honor of Noah's fondness for Gordon the Big Express Train, a character in the Thomas the Tank Engine series, Jawsh carved the pumpkin in his likeness. Noah really enjoyed helping de-seed the pumpkin and blowing out the candle inside. What will Jawsh carve next year???

Trick or Treat

We took Noah to the mall to go trick or treating. The first stop was See's Candy where they were passing out their milk chocolate gold coins. Unfortunately, Noah did not understand the whole concept of trick or treating just yet. He was intent on holding one piece of candy (the lollipop) and did not care to collect anymore. What will it be like next year???

Watch me ride

Here is Dada and Noah at the park on Noah's new tricycle. He is slowly learning how to pedal but at this point he just keeps his feet steady on the pedals. We really like this Radio Flyer model because Jawsh can help Noah steer. When will he ride solo???

Aunt Michelle

Here is a picture of Aunt Michelle and Micah. Don't you like the way Micah is posing in his sleep???

"Open eyes Micah"

"Open eyes Micah" is something that Noah likes to say a lot. Here is a shot of the two brothers smiling at each other with their eyes open! Isn't this precious???

GG2

Grandpa Art and Grandma Tina drove all the way from Reno to meet their new great grandson. They have nicknames for all their grandchildren and great grandchildren. Noah is GG1 (great grandson 1) and Micah is now referred to as GG2. Micah had a great time being held all afternoon by Great Grandpa Art... when will we see them again???

Perfect Pumpkins

Today we went to Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch with the family. Micah is now three weeks old so we thought it was time he ventured out in the world... although he was wrapped up in the stroller for most of the time. We had a great time picking out pumpkins and watching Noah and Kaitlyn play in the huge pumpkin jumper. What will we dress the boys up in next year???

Cousin Kaitlyn

When the family came by the hospital to meet Micah, Kaitlyn was asleep in her stroller. When she finally met Micah at my parents' home she was a little shy, but in true Kaitlyn fashion she warmed up quickly. She likes to say "shhhh baby" and she also likes to touch his feet. Here she is helping me burp Micah (and the good thing is that Noah wants to help out more when he sees Kaitlyn interacting with Micah). I wonder how Micah will react to Kaitlyn???

Kaitlyn's Gym

This week Noah got to visit Kaitlyn's place of play called My Gym. Jawsh really enjoyed it there because it was a change of pace from Gymboree. Noah enjoyed the ball pit, hanging from the bars, and playing with Kaitlyn. When will he go back???

Happy Birthday Bubbe

Today we spent the day with Bubbe to help celebrate her birthday. Noah had a great time with her at the park and we all enjoyed lunch and Sprinkles cupcakes. Wonder what Bubbe wished for???

Dimples

Per Kelly's request... here is a picture of Micah with his eyes open. And as you can see, he has dimples... isn't he adorable???

Aunt Kelly aka E-mo

Kelly was in town for about a week. We're so glad that Noah got to spend some time with her while she was here. Not only did she buy him a butterfly shirt (which he loves) she also spoiled him with Pinkberry and See's candy while they were at Century City together. Here they are at our place playing with his toys (and you can see his new haircut). When will Noah get to visit her in DC???

Third times a charm

My mom and sister came over today to drop off some food and to spend time with Noah. Originally they had planned to go to Gymboree but I made a special request for them to take him to the Yellow Balloon for a much needed haircut. In the past, Noah screamed and cried but this time around I heard he was as cool as a cucumber. Who knows if it was because he has been there before with the same stylist, or maybe it was because my mom was holding him. But upon further examination, it looks like he had a cookie in his hand so maybe that is the reason he didn't freak out. Either way I'm glad he didn't cry. Will he be cool with getting his haircut from now on???
