While You're Gone

Jordan, Moriah and Josh these are a few videos for your enjoyment while you are away. The girls are great and loving Nana and Opu's house to run around in. And Charis has made it her personal mission to exhaust Nana to no end. Mission well accomplished I might add. Selah has also taken to spitting up orange goo at the most inopportune times, mostly while Nana's in the way. Here you are!

Also, Moriah I have seen that you are buying Meijer brand formula, please let , me get you the stuff from Costco the next time I'm there! It's so much cheaper and better!

While I was Vacuuming

While I was dutifully doing housework I let Noah have a spoonful of chocolate pudding. A spoonful. The rest of the pudding was on the kitchen table aprox. three steps away from Noah's reaching arms. Somehow when I returned to vacuuming Noah went into super stretch mode and retrieved the cup of pudding this was the result. I was astonished. I couldn't have reached the cup how the heck did he reach it?!

Baby to Toddler

Noah has turned ONE! I can't believe that it was only a year ago that we welcomed this new little creature into the world, and every day has been wonderful. We celebrated at Grandma Porter's house with food and cake (of course cake) and Noah had lots of help unwrapping his gifts from the Huff girls.

To be honest, he couldn't have unwrapped them without Charis' help. Noah is such a joy in our lives, hopefully the videos and pictures will tell the story...
Birthday CAKE!



See, he needed Charis' help....sorry Charis, but you were his only hope and you kept him interested.
Daddy and Noah playing with "Piglet" The big brown bear (ask Jordan...the name will eventually mess with Noah's future recognition of animals, and I fully understand that I will receive phone calls from future teachers as to why my son refers to frogs as snakes.)



Noah chasing Daddy around the apartment. Hunting Daddy is good game... especially when he shrieks!

Halloween...and a BIG surprise!

We had a great Halloween this year with our little man! He was so cute in his little puppy costume, and Jordan looked amazing as my wife, Mage. I was her husband Wilbur. We made an amazing couple, except that I had a roaming eye and wanted to hit on anything that moved, sorry kids! I might have played that part a little too well.....

Anyway, we went to the Gallagher's party and had a lot of fun. We really enjoy seeing all the kids and we love how much the kids like Noah, he thinks they are all his older siblings and tags along after them....so cute.

But, something else has happened. Noah began walking!!!!!!!!!! My BABY! SO BIG! We cannot be any prouder than we are of him. Below are some pics of our fn times and a clip of our little man doing his thang!

Walking...Almost

Mom Ferrell bought Noah a puppy toy that allows toddlers to learn to walk, and I did not realize that he had started to actually use it! I yelled across the room, "Jordan LOOK!" And Jordan looked over, nonchalantly said, "Oh, yeah, he does that for me all the time."

RRRGGGGG! I never get to see the new things first! But at least we caught it on tape. It's only a matter of a few more weeks before he is doing this all on his own!

So big. I prayed to God that the next child won't come until Noah is potty trained, and after walking that's the next step........Am I ready for all this yet? YOU BET I AM! Maybe even twins! Man I'm crazy, but what can I say? Noah is so fun and such a blessing to me that I can't wait until we are ready for number two. This is how God's shows his grace in my life, through my family.

Babysitting and Burfday

This weekend T and Isaac came home which also meana lot going on in ne weekend. We watched Charis and Selah for Moriah and Josh so they could have a fun night not going to the corn maze (it was sadlt rained out but they played Killer instead...spooky). The girls were great and I even had time to bake brownies, which were amazing. Charis' favorite phrase after that was, "Moo. Moore Pees. Eat. Moo Pees!" See picture below.

Noah was a little turned off by the incasion of his home and his toys, he sahres well outside of the house, but apparently his home is his turf, and we had a fight over that. We played a little in the bathtub and Noah freaked out every time Charis dumped water on her head, he thought she was hurting herself. Such a cute video of that too.

Then there was my trip to the Shedd Aquarium for my birthday. I was so excited to go and see the dolphins and the whales. Unfortunately that whole exhibit was under renovations until June 2009.....bummer.

But the day was beautiful, and my hubby treated me like a queen for the day. We went to flattop grill for lunch and then headed home for a much needed nap.

The pictures say it all. My Husband is great!

And Lastly for Moriah and For Jordan, the videos for your enjoyment

this is noah calling his Dada. He positively loves calling his dad throughout his day!

Sweet Hubby

My husband came in the house yesterday with an arm full of flowers.....for me!!!!!!!! He is so sweet. I had to brag cause they are so pretty and I wanted to show them off!

I love Jordan, they are beautiful. Thanks for being a great husband ; )
