More Fun!

I'll narrate through pictures...

First, the aquarium yesterday morning before Daddy left. We weren't sure how interested he'd be but he absolutely loved it! It helped that we were the very first visitors there and it wasn't that crowded even when other people showed up. We brought in his stroller but then decided to just leave it somewhere so that he could walk around on his own. It was a fabulous aquarium. Going to the beach in the off season is great! Noah is now very good at saying 'fish'.

Queue the Jaws music.....

Hmm... I'm not sure about that guy (notice how empty the place is!!).

After we got home from the aquarium, Waylon left to head back to Raleigh and we hit the beach again. We had a nice quiet evening last night. Here is a picture from dinner last night.....

Noah loves 'na-na-nas'.
(Tonight, Hey Jude came on the radio and Noah started singing along!!)

Noah didn't nap well yesterday so he slept in a little this morning... what a difference 45 minutes makes!! It was so nice. This morning, we had a nice time at the beach... except when Noah fell and hit his head on the edge of a beach chair (right on his eyebrow!). Ouch. He was okay with some extra TLC and a little ice. He made a new friend named Delany at the pool, and as is typical for our little lover, had to give her a hug! He's also been waving to everyone... people walking by on the beach, cars driving by, people in the restaurant. He's so social!

This morning on the beach....

Holding his first sand flea

Traded hats with Papa

After a big morning on the beach, I got Noah down for a nap and my mom and I headed over to the spa for reflexology by the pool (basically a really nice foot rub) and then I had a short pedicure while she relaxed in the hot tub. It was such a nice relaxing time. Noah was still sleeping when we got back but woke up soon after. We got ready and headed to Emerald Isle to check out a few possibilities for places to stay next year, visit a toy store, have dinner, and hit the grocery store.

Grammy wanted to get Noah a new toy at the toy store. We were walking around the store trying to decide what he wanted while he was walking around trying to tell us.

This last one was on the dock right outside the restaurant. If you click on the picture and enlarge it, you can see his boo boo pretty well. Poor thing :-(

So, we are still having a great time here, but we really miss Daddy!!!!

By the way, I've never listed all the words that Noah knows so far... I'll see if I can remember most of them and also in order that he learned them...

Dada
Mama
that (dat)
banana (na-na-na... using the intonation that you use to say banana)
bubbles (bub-bub-bub)
baby
shoes
bye bye (buh bah)
hi (more like Ahhhh, but he does it when he waves)
blueberries (boo-boo-boo)
eyes
uh-oh
more
Papa
ball
fish

I can't think of any more... I'll try to keep a better running list from now on!

Hope everyone is having a great week!
