Pool party

Kaitlyn has a little pool in her backyard and Noah was invited over to swim, well actually, to take a dip. When Noah got in the pool, Kaitlyn splashed water on his face and took all of the toys he played with. Despite that he had a good time, but Kaitlyn had a better time. When will they learn how to swim???

A friend for Noah

Noah made a new friend today... 21 month old Angeline. Noah has good taste because Angeline cleans up after herself (and Noah), is very smart (she mastered the shapes toy quickly), and she knows sign language! Will Noah's good taste in women continue throughout his life???

ADO(RED)

Noah and Kaitlyn were sporting their RED shirts so I tried to do a photo shoot of them. I thought I could send this to GAP and the babies would be discovered, make a million dollars, and have their own line of toys or something... then reality struck. Kaitlyn was too busy showing off her crawling moves (yes, she's now crawling) and Noah was too busy trying to avoid her (yes, he's learning how to push her away). So for now the dreams of being discovered are on hold, but in the meantime Noah is still DELIVE(RED) and Kaitlyn is still DIAPE(RED). How cute is that???

Best babysitters

We were so fortunate to spend time with the Reno Rubins! What fun it was to have them in town. While we were busy playing Rummy Q, stuffing our faces with ice cream, and watching Talledega Nights, Noah managed to get some play time with his twin cousins, Mary and Seth. They were so great with him... they changed his diapers, built amazing toy towers, and even gave him a bath. They are going to be great babysitters when they go back home. Can we say... Babysitters Club???

Oy vey!

Noah's wardrobe expanded with an addition of two shirts. He received a bright green one from Uncle Zach that says, "Someone who loves me very much went to Israel and got me this tshirt" and the other one is the one you see before you. "Oy vey" is a Yiddish expression translated as "woe is me." Everyone got a kick out of both shirts... which do you prefer???

The Original Uncle Bill

Tonight Noah got to meet the original Uncle Bill and my Aunt Suki. Uncle Bill exposed us to all 31 flavors of ice cream and called us every Christmas to ask us what we wanted. My brother was named after him and now Noah has an Uncle Bill who will carry on the tradition. What will Noah ask for first???

WNBA or Art?

Kaitlyn is going to play sports whether she likes it or not... Billy will make sure she can hoop it up like Sheryl Swoops and swing a golf club like Michelle Wie. Here is Kaitlyn in training: palming a ball. Sure it's not a basketball but she has to start somewhere. Uncle Jawsh will balance the athletics by teaching her art. Which will she like more???

Playing with Bubbe

Grandma Caryn, affectionately known as, Bubbe, came to spend the afternoon with us. Noah enjoyed playing peek a boo and being held by his one and only Bubbe. Noah has been vocalizing for weeks saying uhma... when will he say Bubbe???

Sleeping babes

This picture is just too cute... who do you think woke up first???

Nursery

I am so blessed to have a nursery on site at my work. Although Noah is staying at home with Jawsh it's great to know that we have the option to take him to my work with me. Carter and Savyor were ecstatic to see Noah. Will he get along with the others as well???

Mommy's work

Jawsh brought Noah to my school while it was in session and the kids freaked out! I wasn't sure who they were more excited to see... Jawsh or Noah. I wonder if they'll visit again before the school year is out???

Hello Cousin

Noah was all smiles when he saw Cousin Adam... when will he meet Jenny and Jon???

6 months

I can't believe Noah is six months old. He shares this day with the Stars Wars 30th anniversary. Will the force be with Noah???

Temple time

Noah enjoyed Rebecca's bat mitzvah so much he was on his best behavior for the three hour long service. Great Aunt Gail didn't even know he was there because he was so peaceful. I think the song he liked the most was Hee-Nay Mah-Tov. In 13 years Noah will have his bar mitzvah. I wonder if we'll have it at Sea World???

Double trouble

We were sharing the good news of Noah's first tooth when Great Aunt Julia copped a feel and found another growing right next to it! Noah's almost six months and has two emerging pearly whites. Time flies fast, doesn't it???

Friendly skies

Noah's first trip on an airplane went really well... we flew to Nor Cal for Rebecca's bat mitzvah. Noah slept peacefully in his seat and had many admirers. Now we know that we can take him anywhere! Next stop: Maui. Anyone want to join???

Mom's day

Mother's day came and went... Jawsh returned from Cabo safely and we watched the season finale of Survivor (one of my favorite shows). Caryn told me "everyday is Mother's day," which I believe because Noah is just too perfect. Wonder what we'll do for Dad's day???

Wanted: best friend

Jawsh and Jay have been best friends for almost 30 years and we hope that Noah will also know the joys of having a best buddy. So, now that Jay and DeLee are married, the next step is making a best friend for Noah. When will that happen???

First tooth

Of course this would happen while Jawsh was away in Cabo... the emergence of Noah's first tooth. In this picture he's not crying because of the teething process, rather, Kaitlyn was in his space rolling back and forth. Thankfully Noah is cutting teeth in his usual fashion... chill style. Will he be like this for all the milestones???

We'll miss you

Michael's family is moving to New Jersey... We are so excited for them but saddened that Noah (and Kaitlyn) will not be able to play with their cousin when they grow older. When will we see them again???
