Hello Ladies.... This is a day in the life of Noah Riley. Welcome to my crib, wipe your feet, and stay a while...

First I play with my box

Then I get frustrated...

Then I cry until my mommy gets me and gives me kisses. I feel better.

We eat a little breakfast and after it's time for a nap

First I sleep, then I rip apart my bed if mommy doesn't get to me in time after I wake up...it's funny watching her face when she sees what I've done!

Next is bath time. Arguably the best time of the day because I get to be naked AND splash my mommy in the face.

I love my toys for bath time. I like to chuck 'em at mommy's face too, she's a quick target!

We eat lunch, and play some more...Mommy says I have pretty big brown eyes... I think she's bias

The parents all think I'm gonna be walking soon. I say I already do when they're not looking....shhh don't tell them, it's a secret.I love the camera, this was my good side. Yeah, full on frontal, that's right, I don't have a bad side.

Usually then Daddy comes home and we do some work together.

Seriously, these people are lucky they have me, I really don't know what they'd do without my help around here.Lastly mommy tells me it's time for bed, I don't like putting my toys away, but it's alright, i get her back at 3:00 in the morning when i wake her up to come and comfort me. It's a new thing I have been working on.....and she thinks I have nightmares....! Silly mommy, I have her trained. ; )

We went to the ZOO!

Saturday we went to the Brookfield Zoo with Moriah, Josh, Charis, and Little Selah. I really really really had a great time. The children were great all day and the animals were all out and close enough to see. Noah was a little apprehensive at first but I think he started to understand what was going on when we went to the dolphin show. His eyes went wide and then there was screaming...from Charis saying, "YEAH!!! YEAH DOLPHIN!". Which in turn made Noah more excited to what was going on in the water. He enjoyed all the animals, and passed out in his stroller for a half hour then we went and saw more animals.

I forget how wonderfl it was to be a kid. I love the zoo!

A little apprehensive.....
Getting curious...

We got to touch the sting rays! They are so slimey and yet so friendly. They all swam in a large circle looking for fingers to touch them! Gross and yet so much fun too!

Now he's happy!

This is the sleeping goat that made Noah really happy, he got to touch it! Charis was a little more concerned for this animal (it was really tired and trying to sleep amidst the group of touching children). Charis got right into this goats face and asked so sweetly, "You okay? Goat....you okay goat?" So precious!

This Giraffe was only a few weeks old, it was born August 18....and it was taller than me.
