Noah plays so contently by himself, he will sit and look at book after book until he's flipped through the whole thing. Such a sweet buddy and he loves his books!!

Noah is so good about brushing his "toofers" with Daddy cause he makes such funny noises and makes it super fun! :)

We finally had a break from the stifling humidity and heat and it was actually kind of chilly! Noah was playing outside and had to wear a hoodie to keep warm...well, mommy put a hoody on cause she thought he would be cold..you know how that goes :)

Noah loves watching "Da Da" mow the lawn..he's so excited to someday follow him with his own lawn mower :)

Noah got his first haircut in July of this year and needless to say he wasn't too thrilled about it :)

This summer has been so much fun. Noah has been able to play outside in the yard a lot and loves to play with his water table and ride around in his cozy coupe! Summer has been filled with family and friends which is such a blessing to both Noah and Mom and Dad! We went to a surprise party for a cousin at Vino in the Valley winery-Noah is becoming a wine snob just like Mommy and Daddy and loves to experience the beauty of local vineyards...haha.

In June we got to go see a friend in Madison, WI and ride in a speed boat for the very first time. Noah loved going fast and seeing Mommy and Daddy attempt to wake board with not a lot of success :)

Noah has been out on the town this summer as well, going down to Thursdays on First and Rochesterfest to experience the cuisine which he has become a big fan of...in particular the chocolate gelato!

This July Noey hung out with Yogi and Boo Boo bear at Jellystone in Warrens, WI and got to chill with his favorite cousin Annie from Arizona along with Uncle Benny and Aunt Mimi :) The end of July Noah took part in a family reunion and hung out with Uncle Mark, Aunt Ellie, Uncle Benny (for his 31st b-day) Aunt Mimi, cousin Annie and Auntie Dee along with other cousins from Washington which he had a lot of fun playing with! There were kiddos everywhere!

While the whole fam was home Noah once again rode on a boat up the Mississippi River in a pontoon and went to the Larks toy store where he saw a great puppet show (put on by silly Uncle Mark and Uncle Benny) and rode on the carousel with Grandma Suzie, Grandpa Timmy and cousin Annie! Summertime is the best!

We are back! Noah's first year of life has been so fun and exciting and so so busy! He traveled to Phoenix for Thanksgiving, Mexico for vacay in February and had many other exciting events in between, including; learning how to crawl and now walking all over the place!

Noah turned 1 years old on May 30th 2009..it was such a great party! Noah experienced his first bite of yummy icey and cake and I think he wondered where that had been the whole first year of his life!
