New Things Every Day

It seems like every day Noah is doing something new. He loves to color and do arts & crafts. This week he figured out where all the fun stuff is kept, figured out how to get the top off, and now he's on his own!

The biggest change in the last couple of weeks is that Noah is trying to give up his morning nap. It's hard right now. Look what happens at lunch if he doesn't nap in the morning....looks like he's not quite ready for one nap a day.

But when he's awake, he has tons of energy. Last week he had company to play with. Erin's nephew Brendan and his friend Danny Joe came over to play, and they all had a fun time.

And Noah is starting to get tired of his high chair. For about half of his meals, he'll walk over to the big-boy chair and say "table" (it means "I want to sit at the table")....and he'll eat just like a big boy!

And his tastes are changing. His menu is pretty much down to tomatos, grapes, orange slices, chicken nuggets, grilled cheese, meatballs and ravioli, and hot dogs. No more vegetables either. But he drinks lots of milk and apple juice and grape juice. And he's drinking all sorts of new things as well -- seems to be sleeping really soundly lately too--we're not quite sure why but think we figured it out (please....don't anyone call social services on us!). It's really true that if you turn your head for a second, he gets into anything!!!!
Today (Sat) Noah and Kathy are starting swimming lessons again! It should be lots of fun. Spring is almost here and Noah just loves spending more and more time outside ("outside, outside"). We're all excited about the warmer weather and sunshine! Keep checking Noah's blog and see all the fun things going on.............

Marco Island 08 Part 2: At the beach!

One of the most fun parts of going to Marco Island was going to the beach! We went to Tigertail beach one day and Noah loved the water! Nanny walked up and down the beach with him...then SPLASH, right into the water!

Then the next day we went to the Hilton, and all had breakfast, then out to the beach! If you go back a year in the blog (when Noah and all of us were a little younger!), you can see this year at the Hilton was much warmer than last year! We can't get over how much Noah looks like a big little boy. No more baby! And Noah and Poppy went for a long walk.... And Noah and Nanny went looking for some shells Then, later in the day, we went back to that cool "fountain park". Noah was probably the youngest kid there, but had no fear running right out into the middle!

Hey Noah....Want a towel??And that night, we went out to dinner, and everyone ate mexican food! Noah had a special mexican hotdog!

And before we knew it, it was time to go home. Back to the airport where we all had a quick lunch in the bar.....then back on the plane home to Philadelphia. We had a great time, and can't wait to go back next year!
