Happy Easter

We found a funny creature in our Easter basket this morning...

Curious little thing

And hungry...

Weekend fun

It was unusually warm and sunny for Portland this past weekend, so we all decided to get out to enjoy the sunshine... And introduce Noah to the world beyond our backyard (sort to speak). We went down to the Waterfront to check out the Saturday Market and ended up stopping to play in the grass. Anyone need their lawn mowed? Noah here, is pretty good at getting the job done the old fashioned way...

"Ooouuhh!" Noah was quite mesmerized by the canopy of blooming trees and the great view of the river too.

Uncle Curtis, Allyson and Shelby came to visit

Update

Not too much new news but Noah sure is showing his little personality. He is a very curious guy, he says "Ooh!" at just about anything he sees, then looks over at us as we repeat what it is. He is rolling all over the place now (not his favorite activity but it makes it easier to get his binky when he decides to chuck it across his play mat), he is working on sitting by himself (but still falling to the side and turning it into a stunt like roll for a grand finish), he likes to flail his arm (just the right one) and anything that is in it, he likes to drink out of moms glass (but regrets it because it's never milk), he likes growling and squealing (mostly because mom thinks it's soooo funny), oh and who needs teathers when there are removable socks. We're still sleeping all through the night (going to bed at 8:30pm, waking for a feeding around 4:30am and then back to sleep until at least 7:00am). He looooves his rice cereal, he even opens his mouth after he swallows to indicate that he wants more (later followed by an "UHh" if we don't respond promptly). We're not too fond of other foods yet, green beans were alright, now it's on to peas... We can ward off the gagging reflex for a while by making swooshing airplane sounds as if the spoon is coming in for a landing. Fluids though, no such luck. Noah likes sippy cups for looks mostly, he won't touch it if there is juice or water in it. In a nut shell, that's our funny little guy at six and a half months.

We like to play, while awake and asleep

Dad said he was playing one moment and next thing you know he's dead asleep with his favorite toys... Mom missed the entire 30 minute comic scene.
