ok after a whirlwind tour....

Noah swam in three different pools! he had his feet in the atlantic ocean and the gulf of mexico. he saw gators, bats, sand, swamp, met great great grandma, great grandparents, grandparents, aunts uncles tons on family! since my last post Noah is grabbing his bottle from me, getting himself to the coffee table to pull up and stand, he "walks" when holding our fingers, he can sit himself up, move himself to point a to b! he is so active, it is incredible. he isn't crawling per se, he does this thing where he stands up on his legs and hops forward, such a ham. he is over 20 lbs. no teeth yet.

things are starting to improve for jay and i, things are still tough but getting better slowly! i have to go eat. more pics soon, check me on facebook and myspace for all the current pics!

Can I get a WHAT WHAT?

we made it in one piece after over 12 hours of gruelling travel. Noah was great on the plane, he got fussy when he was hungry, tired or bored. no unstoppable crying, of course the trip was much longer than i remembered it being.



Noah is dealing with the time change, by not changing with it... he is drooling all over grandpa right now!!



he met his Great Grandpa, GranJan, Uncle A, Aunt Kim, Aunt Becky, Big Mitch and Lil' Nanc, Stuce, Kathy, Janet and the Youngs!! He was very charming and the center of attention even though we were celebrating the GPAS 60th wedding anniversary.



Well I need sleep-



more later

Leaving for CT

Noah and I are gearing up to head east. Sadly he contracted a cold while at the doctors and he has passed to to Jay and I. We will be gone for 3 weeks, maybe more if we head to Florida after CT. I won't see Peter again until August :( He will undoubtedly have fun at his mom's.

Noah is otherwise great doing all the things that babies like to do. Typical male though, he is capable of picking up and holding his bottle and sippy cups, I've seen him do it, and yet all he wants is mom to do it for him. He is really starting to sit well by himself but only if I sit him down. I swear he is talking to me sometimes, he says ma, mmmm, hi... I am trying to incorporate signs to words but I haven't been very consistent. I feel like an asshole when I do them because they are made-up signs.

Well we need to rest up Noah is the guest of Honor at a soiree on Thursday. No new pics-

BTW- Spanky was in the Modesto Bee today!! What a superstar!
