Happy Birthday Uncle Zach

We had such a good time celebrating Uncle Zach's birthday! We enjoyed Japanese from Hide Sushi and instead of birthday cake, Zach requested birthday donuts in true Homer Simpson fashion! Wonder what he wished for???

Swim class

Noah took his first "swim" class tonight in the indoor pool at the Y. The kids are learning how to blow bubbles in the water, hold on to the side of the pool, and kick their little legs. It was so fun watching him in the pool, although Noah wanted to get out before the class was over. Jawsh looked like he was having fun too! When will he learn how to really swim???

Big bubble

Noah's fascination with bubbles continue... here is a great shot taken with an iphone! Amazing huh?

Watch out MJ!

Micah is channeling my all time favorite basketball player, Michael Jordan. Now all we have to do is make sure that Micah is tall like his uncles, has their skills in basketball, and wears a number 23 jersey... oh and making sure that when he dunks from the free throw line that his tongue is out! Isn't that every parents dream???

Happy birthday Dada

We celebrated Jawsh's birthday (again) with Bubbe. Here we are at her place after a great day at the Discovery Center. Bubbe made a delectable chocolate cake with roasted almonds and Noah was in the mood to sing Happy Birthday to Dada. I love how Jawsh's eyes are on Noah; Noah's eyes are on the cake; Micah's eyes are on Bubbe; and my eyes are on it all. Isn't that great???

Check up

After our Disneyland adventure, we headed to Micah's four month check up. He is in the 95% in weight and height and in the 50-70% in head circumference (just like Noah except he had a bigger noggin). Micah also received his second round of immunizations and we heard the high pitch scream again... I think he was channeling Mariah Carey. Will the next round of shots be less painful???

Dada's day

We celebrated Jawsh's birthday by heading to the happiest place on earth: Disneyland. It was a gorgeous clear day and there were not a lot of people at the park. We ate lunch at the Blue Bayou (the restaurant inside the Pirates of the Caribbean). The food was tasty, Noah was chill in his high chair, and Micah was asleep so that was a nice treat. Afterwards, we bought Noah a Woody pin and later in the day he met Woody. Noah was really excited but once he got close, he turned very shy (where's Kaitlyn when we need her?) We had a good time and hope to meet Buzz soon... will that happen???

Rata... who?

Noah's love for Pixar continues to grow. He is no longer asking for Ratatouille, now the obsession is with Toy Story (thanks Uncle Zach). Any bets on what his next Pixar obsession will be???

32

We celebrated Jawsh's 32nd birthday today with friends, good Jamaican, and mojitos! It was nice to see everyone and celebrate Jawsh and his love for Star Wars... yup, we had balloons, streamers, and Jawsh even wore a Jedi badge! The best part was hearing Noah sing Happy Birthday to Dada... too cute! What will we do on the 12th (his actual birth day)???

Thomas Live!

Jawsh met up with Nathan and family to watch Thomas Live at the Nokia theater. The boys had a great time watching Thomas and it was their first time at the Nokia theater. I got to stay home and have some bonding time with Micah, which was very nice. Wonder when we'll all get a chance to go to the Nokia theater together???

Jump Jump

We set up Micah's jumper and he loves it! Time is flying too fast, wouldn't you agree???

Rock those shoes Noah!

Back in August, I blogged about Noah's Pediped photo shoot in Santa Monica. He was 21 months old at the time of this shoot. The 2009 online catalog is out and he made it on to their website under press releases. To view this click on the link: http://www.pediped.com/home/pressrelease.aspx and scroll down. Will Micah get into modeling???

Ratatouille

Noah is in love with the Pixar movie, Ratatouille. It all started when Mary, Seth, and Rebecca were over and watching the DVD. Since then, Noah asks to watch it all the time and we made him a make-shift stove. I googled some images and taped them to a box we were going to throw away. Noah loves it and we love that he loves to cook there. If you ask him what he's making he'll tell you one of two of his specialities: Ratatouille or soup. What will he create next???

Sitting pretty

Throughout the day Jawsh helps Micah practice sitting in his seat. It's really amazing to see how strong our little boy has become. Before we know it Micah will be sitting up straight on his own. I can remember when Noah was in this same chair... time flies fast, doesn't it???

Presidential pancakes

Today marks a historic day... the inauguration of Barack Obama!!! We woke up early to watch all the happenings in DC with our lovely neighbors (Uncle Zach and Todd), I texted friends who were actually there (lucky them), and we made a vow to be at the next inauguration of Obama when he is re-elected! In honor of Obama, Jawsh made Obama pancakes (okay, Noah got a Mickey shaped one)... what will be his first executive order???

Happy baby

Micah is a happy baby... can't you tell???

Fun with Uncle Zach

Now that Jawsh is at home with the boys, every little helps. Uncle Zach comes over to play with Noah and sometimes he even takes him to the nearby park. Here they are on the play structure... when will he take him again???

Daycare? Not right now...

This morning Noah went to the daycare at my school. He was excited... he had his Thomas lunchpail and Gymbo backpack and was ready to go. Unfortunately, it was not a good experience. We started the morning off on the right foot and ended the day on the wrong one. So back at home with Dada for now, but we are exploring other options. Anyone have recommendations???

California Disney

Today we went to California Disney for a couple of hours to meet up with Kaitlyn and Zach (Tina's nephew). The kids had a great time munching on Mickey Mouse cookies and watching the Pixar parade. Here is a picture of Noah and Uncle Bill on King Triton's Carousel (Noah refuses to sit on a horse). When will head back to the Disneyland???

Hi GGA and GGT

GGA and GGT came to visit us from Reno. We always enjoy their visit because we get to hear family stories and catch up with their travels (they just returned from Costa Rica). We munched on fresh bialy bagels and challah french toast while Noah and Micah slept. When will we see them again????
