Lots of Fun!

We've had so much going on (again, still... whatever!). I guess I should stop saying that cause it's going to be this way for a while now, huh? :-) Anyway, I'll narrate around pictures again...

I'll start with these two hilarious pictures of Noah! :-)

Last Sunday, we went to see our friends Kate and Vic who we haven't seen in forever! They have built a beautiful house out in Hillsborough and invited us over for dinner.



While we were there we visited their horses. Noah had never been this close to a horse before. He wasn't so sure at first but warmed up and even pet him eventually!

After that visit, he was super interested in this horse that Nana and Granddad got for him. He can even say 'horse' now!



On Monday, we had a playdate with Lydia and Keri. For those of you who don't know Keri, she and I have known each other since 2nd grade!! She has a daughter, Lydia, who is 9 months older than Noah and she is now pregnant with triplets! She just found out that they are all girls, too! Crazy.
This week was a good week back at work and school. I was a little nervous about how Noah would do back at school after a week's vacation but he did great! Slipped right back in like he hadn't been gone at all.

We had been having a little trouble sleeping at night and we are thinking Noah might be cutting his last set of molars - what they call the '2 year molars' - he's a little bit of an overachiever in that aspect!! :-) He has all of his teeth now except those last 4 molars. Should be some fun times ahead!

Waylon's parents emailed this week to ask if we needed babysitters (how lucky are we?!), so we decided to have a date night on Friday. It was so nice... we went to dinner and then to see The Dark Knight at the IMAX theater. So fun!

Yesterday afternoon, Noah and I joined Waylon for another NCSU tailgate. Such fun! Here's a shot of Noah with Brendan (one of the triplets).



Today was a great time!! We had some people over for the Redskins game/playdate! :-) Noah had the best time playing with Stella Dot and Madelyn. They all really interacted a lot which seemed like a breakthrough to me. Up until now, it's been more of the 'parallel play' kind of playdates, but tonight they were chasing each other around and giggling and having a great time. It was so cute.



Noah's vocabulary is really growing... he repeats a lot of the things we say now. Here are some newer words that I can think of off the top of my head:

go
please
cheese
(please and cheese sound the same but he uses them in the correct context)
horse
nose
Noah
cat
bird
duck
dog

He also loves to dance. He does motions to 'Itsy Bitsy Spider', 'If you're Happy and You Know It', and '5 Little Monkeys'.

Here are two more cute shots in some clothes that my mom sent for him...

Have a great week everyone!
