Noah's Pictures

Noah at Jaden's Birthday Party

2008-05-16T11:33:00.001-04:00

Going shirtless like the big boys.

Noah wanted to stop and pose on this rock outside the Price house for some reason. He kept saying "cheese" until I got the camera out.

Yep, he's growing up...

2008-05-01T08:51:00.000-04:00

...and he's very proud of his "big boy underpants". I will use this post in 15 years to embarass him in front of a girlfriend or two. :)

Early mornings

2008-03-04T13:25:00.000-05:00

No pictures to post today, just a comment. Noah's been in the habit of talking to himself before time to wake up in the morning, which is fine with his sleepy parents! Recently, he's made some odd statements first thing in the morning. Last week, I went in to pick him up from his crib, and he randomly said "Grandma & Grandpa's in Delaware." This morning, he said "My love Jesus. And Jesus loves me." Maybe he's not talking to himself in the morning, it's just a 2-year old's prayer.

Noah at the bubble table

Bella plays with bubbles

Noah wanted to play the bass. A bit too big still.

Noah & Bella play with the water table. Noah required a total change of clothing afterwards, despite the smocks.

Airplane Game

2008-01-25T18:08:00.002-05:00

We sometimes play the "airplane" game to get Noah to eat things he doesn't like. He's started playing the game all by himself now.

Noah reading with Daddy

Noah reads goodnight moon

2008-01-25T17:55:00.000-05:00

He's only reading the second half, and you kind of have to know what it says to understand him, but here you go anyway.

Michael & Jess' Wedding

2008-01-01T12:24:00.000-05:00

No, Noah didn't attend the wedding, thanks to our friend Anna's saint-like agreement to stay in Delaware with him for 3 days while he had an ear infection. But here are a few pictures of what he missed anyway.

First dance

Michael, Susan, and Ben - the siblings rarely photographed together anymore.

The band's cow bell made its way to the dance floor during a couple of disco numbers. Here's Ben's turn with the bell. :)

Bubble bath!

Sometimes Noah wakes up from a nap only to continue it on Daddy.

We're fortunate enough to have Santa living one street over from us. :) One night a year (when he's not working elsewhere), he sets up a sleigh and reindeer in his front lawn, and invites all the neighbor kids over. Noah didn't really understand, but sat contentedly on Santa's lap anyway.

Noah's new piano - a birthday present from grandma & grandpa.

Noah's drum set - a birthday present from mom & dad - see a theme here?

Halloween!!

Noah's first Halloween costume - a tiger suit borrowed from Bella's cousin.

Noah's first trick-or-treating experience.

Talking about a weekend with Grandma & Grandpa

2007-10-30T13:06:00.000-04:00

If it helps to decipher Noah-talk, he's refers to an animal called the "Oryx" that lives at the local zoo.

Binder Park Zoo

2007-09-15T19:08:00.001-04:00

At the Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, MI you can feed the giraffes. For the record, giraffes eat "giraffe biscuits."

Noah playing with pygmy goats in the Children's Zoo. They were about his size, but still would jump up on both of us looking for food. Wondering about the clothes? It didn't get out of the 50s here today, and in the shade (which is most of the zoo), it was very cold. Our hands could all have used gloves a few times.

Short Hair!

Noah counting

2007-08-23T12:17:00.000-04:00

You'll have to listen carefully to hear Noah on this video - he's counting out shells. He skips four, though. :)

More vacation pictures

2007-08-23T12:11:00.000-04:00

A trick he learned back in Michigan - blowing bubbles through a pipe!

Napping in Mom & Dad's bed - where he took most of his naps after trying to climb out of the playpen the first afternoon.

Reading the numbers book with Grandma.

Soon-to-be Aunt Jess with Uncle Mike

Noah with Great-Uncle Eric (or is that uncle grandpa?) Noah took to Eric immediately and spent lots of time seeking him out to play.

Let me in!

"Reading" the Animal Book

2007-07-27T09:05:00.000-04:00

This is how Noah reads - he turns the pages, identifies whatever animal happens to be there, and moves on. He gets a little distracted when Elmo comes on the tv behind him. When he doesn't know what's on the page, he calls it "Da." My favorite is his pronunciation of the word "goat."

Contortionist in training? I don't know how the spoon would figure into his act...

It's Circus Week at daycare. On Wednesday, Noah came home with his face painted.

Zoo Trip

2007-07-27T08:55:00.000-04:00

Our zoo has a petting area where kids can go in to pet/feed the goats. It's Noah's favorite part of the zoo, and we have to drag him out kicking and screaming.

Grandma & Grandpa visit!

2007-06-30T07:15:00.000-04:00

Grandma & Noah in the lake.

Extended nap time on Grandpa.
Grandma & Grandpa not only let me sit in the cars at the mall, they actually put in coins so the cars move! More than Mom & Dad do... :)

Noah & his watering can

2007-06-16T11:05:00.000-04:00

Noah prefers to water the pavement rather than my flowers.

Noah Walking

This link will take you to a video of Noah walking. YouTube was having problems...

Ready for his closeup

2007-01-18T16:42:00.000-05:00

Dressed up in his plaid blazer for church.

Reaching for the camera, as usual.

You can't see this whole shirt (believe me, we've tried to get a good picture of it), but it says "I do all my own stunts."

Thoughtful? Huh?

2007-01-18T16:39:00.000-05:00

Christmas Part 2

2006-12-30T07:22:00.000-05:00

Noah has lots of toys ... but prefers to play with my tea.
Ball popper! This toy tosses the plastic balls a foot or so in the air ... then you have to chase them down and try to get them back in the track before time runs out. Noah tries...

Christmas!

Surprise Visit

2006-12-17T08:24:00.000-05:00

Want to know whose hand Noah is holding?
It's Melissa! She should have been spending the holidays in England - we didn't think she'd make it back until the summer - but she showed up at Noah's birthday party yesterday, surprising everyone!

Birthday Cake

2006-12-17T08:14:00.000-05:00

This was after he got the hang of cake-eating. Perhaps the red frosting was a bad idea.

First bite.

Nice and clean, before he figured out the cake was there.

Birthday Party!

2006-12-17T07:48:00.000-05:00

Kent is getting started early on a Star Wars game.

Noah on a Mission

2006-11-19T10:21:00.000-05:00

These pictures are out of order, but you get the idea. Those are my clothes he's tossing around.

So proud of himself!

Noah on the playscape at church.

Jaden wanted to hug Noah ... Noah wanted to bang the table with his hands.

Believe it or not, this is the first real picture of the three of us together. If you don't count the one from the hospital.

Still eating

Can anyone say, "Krispy Kreme ad campaign?"

September's Pictures

2006-09-15T14:10:00.000-04:00

Walking is his favorite activity. And yes, there is a bruise on his cheek. Comes with the territory of being an active little boy, I guess.

8 Months Old

2006-08-25T08:49:00.000-04:00

He's outgrowing the bear, I think.

He thinks he's found a good substitute for milk.

Noah's first Corona. See the giant wet spot on his shirt.

We have to strap him into the bouncy chair now, because he can get himself out.

Saturday in the Country!

Noah visits the Easter bunny

2006-03-26T17:20:00.000-05:00

Noah was distracted by a big bunch of multi-colored balloons off to the side of the Easter bunny - this was the best shot we could get!

12 weeks old

2006-03-15T19:44:00.000-05:00

This is how Noah looked when I brought him home from work yesterday.

He then fixed the hat all by himself.

We finally captured a semi-smile on camera.

This is what happens when you try to catch his smile on film

Noah's new exersaucer

2006-03-06T19:49:00.000-05:00

Believe it or not, Noah's control of his head/neck is quite good. Unfortunately, he's still pretty small for the exersaucer, so we prop him up with that big fluffy plaid blanket.

This is, by far, the weirdest facial expression ever
captured on film.

8 weeks old!

2006-02-17T21:47:00.000-05:00

He prefers to suck his entire hand rather than his thumb.

Daddy made him sit up on the chair. He wasn't too excited.

Looking at himself in a mirror. He talks to himself quite a bit.

7 weeks and counting

Here's an example of what he looks like when he wants food and it's not ready yet. Lovely, huh?

Daddy's teaching Noah about video games by introducing him to Game Informer magazine.
