i love you to the moon and back

 

over the past few days since we have been spending most time out back, noah has become obsessed with the moon. he points up and it and squeals and starts clapping. he knows from his favorite book, twinkle twinkle little star, that the moon is made of cheese so he just starts flashing his cheese face and also yells 'cow' because in goodnight moon, the cow jumps over the moon.
 

love this little  face- sooo sweet :) his moon gazing face. 

outside fun

it was perfect outside on friday so me and noah decided to play outside for hours. he played with chalk for the first time and loved it.. he loved to scribble on the patio and would try to pick up as many pieces up and carry them around. we went down the slide a lot, laughed, ate snacks outside, blew bubbles, chased each other, and layed in the grass watching airplanes. it was awesome. it's the little things like this that i love. jim always says i take too many pictures but if i didn't, i wouldn't have this afternoon to look back on in pictures. 

amazing to think back to when he was this small.. noah's first trip to the zoo was at four months, my how he had grown! where has my little baby gone? we have cherished every stage with him and it honestly just gets better and better :) truly blessed indeed!

ZOO!

today was a beautiful day and we decided to head to the zoo when they opened. it was perfect outside, i wish it was 70 degrees everyday of the year. we didn't stay too long but had a great time.

i LOVE this picure..finally one with all 3 of us smiling instead of one having their eyes closed.. or a fussy noah or daddy ;) i will have to do a side by side comparision of us all on this turtle the first time he went, my how he has grown!

noah loved to watch the crocodile and loved the snakes and reptiles - ick! that's about all we got to do because it was naptime but we can't wait to go back in a couple of weeks for boo at the zoo!

noah loves saying goat, he was so excited to see a real one.

and my favorite...

we like parks

we went to a new park today on the way home from mamaw and papaw's house.. it was the coolest.park.ever. a huge treehouse. huge slides. sandbox. weird twirly things. a spiderweb of monkey bars. it was awesome. we will be back for sure.. quiet often i believe.

puppy #2

last month, we welcomed the sixth addition to our home.. ms. moshi. she is around five years old and she is the sweetest thing. we got her because a little someone is taking up suki's limelight.. and she needed a friend.. enter moshi. so far, suki and moshi have been doing wonderful. moshi fits right in and she loooves her noah. she is pretty protective of him already. noah is usually too busy (running around the house demolishing everything in his sight) to really notice the dogs. but over the past few weeks, we think he likes her too :) he loves to take both dogs for a walk after he eats his dinner every night too :)

a day with mommy.. part three

we concluded our fun day with a new snack.. mummy dogs which was just cresent rolls, cheese and a hot dog.. he really liked it to my suprise.

a little tv... his favorite show now is BUBBLE GUPPIES.. he loves it so much!

played outside (thank you texas for FINALLY cooling off!) on his new playground...

and let his balloon fly off.. he kept waving bye and saying 'uh-o'

what a WONDERFUL day :)

a day with mommy.. part two

after naptime we headed up for lunch at chickfila.. my favorite fast food and i think noah has gotten fond of it too.. he recognizes the logo and does a little dance everytime he sees it. and he is obsessed with cows so he gets excited to see them there. he ate pretty well for him.. 3 nuggets and a few fries. the staff was so nice and gave him a balloon and a cute little chickfila cow.

we came at a great time and we were the only people in the playground... he loved it. we climbed all the way to the top where he saw the car which he loved but was too scared to go into the tunnel to get there until i showed him it was okay and carried him there. he kept driving the car making his cute car noises. we went down the big slide a few times and i noted that i am getting older since i had a difficult time crawling in these tight spaces. anyways, we had a great time and played for a long time.

after lunch, we headed to a new park that looked fun. noah squeals with excitement pretty much every time we pass a park. he got out and started running and clapping. this one was more his size without those scary open drop offs i always worry about. he swung and went down the slide a few times before making our last stop.. ice cream! we got some frozen yogurt with his favorite.. sprinkles and he ate the whole thing. and he only had a couple of drips on his clothes.. which is good for him. we sat outside and talked to a friend we ran into from church who actually watches n every week on sundays. we then sat out and watched all the birds.. another favorite pastime of his :)

this was one of my favorite days. ever. and i think noah thought so too :)

a day with mommy.. part one

i took off today to have an extra long weekend with noah.. just a day for me and him with nothing to do but play and have fun. noah slept in until 9:00 which is a record for him. we then played and had a late breakfast.. then we headed to go get some donuts.. his new favorite. we brought them to the park and ate them up by the slide.. it was perfect out..low 70's .. heaven. we played for about an hour and didn't think about anything i 'had' to do and just spent time with noah.. and it was the perfect day. noah was such a big boy.. he climbed all the way up the monkey bars and he was so proud of himself as i held my arms up underneath him just in case he slipped but he went all the way up. he loved to swing and we went down the slide about 20 times i think. after an hour, it was nap time so we headed on home .. until lunchtime that is.
