hanging around...

Noah enjoyed hanging around in his new swing this afternoon...

A weekend in Dallas

We packed up the family and headed up to Dallas for our 3rd annual Rangers-Twins matchup at the Ballpark in Arlington. Noah took all of his "Twins" outfits with him so that he could make sure to bring a smile to Daddy's face. Meanwhile Grandma and Grandpa made sure that the little guy was appropriately outfitted in a Rangers baseball cap! John was thrilled to be only a few feet from the likes of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Nick Punto, etc. (all the while visiting with some dear friends!!) Though the Twins won Saturday night, the Rangers took the series 2-1. (It's a good thing we attended Saturday's game!)

Oh... for those that were curious, Noah is definitely enjoying the rice cereal!

did someone say "Venison"?

Mommy put together my high-chair today! Daddy told me that my first meal would consist of venison, but mommy broke the news... looks like it'll be rice cereal!

... who, me?

just had to share this photo of our precious little guy...

oh my!

looks like it's time for mom and dad to lower the mattress in my crib!!

story-time

so, here is a photographic depiction of noah's story-time...

Mommy: "Noah, do you want to read some stories?"

Noah: "Aaa Aaaa!!!"

Mommy: "How about 'Brown Bear, Brown Bear'?"

Noah: "Aaaa Aaaa Buh Buh"

Mommy: "Where's the green frog?"

Noah: (squeal... shreek)

Then... Inevitably the book ends up in Noah's mouth before he gets to the end of the story... actually, more like before you can even turn the page!

looks who's 5 months old!

It's hard to believe that the little guy is already 5 months old. Every day his personality charms our hearts. His smile is captivating, and his energy is never ceasing. Let's just say, the boy plays hard and then crashes hard!

Just for fun, here are some of the photos from this weekend.

John and Noah enjoyed some time in the pool today...

don't mind me...

I just turn into a happy baby when Orajel is placed on my swollen gums!
