drumming with daddy

noah loves to go out when his daddy is practicing for his night job of being a drummer. okay, just kidding. but noah does love to be out there to listen to him jam out.

here's some pictures from the last few months... one at 2 months, 3 months and 6 months.

happy father's day!

june 20th was a very special day for us. we got to celebrate our first official father's day together. jim has been waiting for years to become a dad and we are so thankful that God placed noah in our arms to be his mom and dad. noah decided it would be a good idea for his mommy to buy him a nice leather recliner so they can rock in it every night. And daddy thought it was the best idea ever so noah, you did a pretty good job :)

noah LOVES his daddy with all of his heart. he waits for him to get home and is so excited to see him. I love watching his reaction when I tell him “daddy is coming”. He looks down the hall and starts smiling and laughing when he sees him. when noah just looks at him, he always bursts out laughing at him. For no particular reason.

He knows when I say “da-da”. It’s only a matter of time that he will learn to say it. he is babbling like crazy and loves to say “aaaaahh” I think it is the most perfect thing I have ever heard. His sweet little voice melts our hearts.

jim, you are everything i knew you would be and more... you light up when you are around our son and he loves his daddy with all of his heart. We are so lucky and blessed to have noah as our son, but more importantly, noah is blessed to have YOU as HIS daddy.

we LOVE you... mommy and noah (and the dog plus 2 cats)

saaaay what???!

On Friday, June 4th the three of us were just goofing around playing when out of the blue, we heard the sweetest, most beautiful thing we have ever heard. Out of no where, noah looked up at me and said “ma-ma”. We both got really excited, and of course, as I ran off like crazy for the video camera, he got distracted and had no interest of repeating his first word. Have I heard it since? No. but it doesn’t matter… I know what he said :)

our little water bug

noah had his first adventure at a pool over memorial day weekend. we weren’t sure what to expect but he absolutely loved it! the little guy loves to kick frantically in the air so he had so much more fun in the water where he could make splashes. he was so adorable in his shark swim trunks and camo hat kicking back and floating along without a care in the world.

 

he loved to be lifted up above the water . .
