TEETH!!! FINALLY!!!

So mommy and daddy thought I was going to be 1 and toothless....but I sure did pull a fast one on them....about a week before my birthday I cut TWO teeth....and a few days later...TWO more!!! I like to seal my lips shut when mommy or daddy try to see my pearly whites so they have yet to get a picture of them. But when they somehow trick me into opening wide enough to get a snap or two...I am sure mommy will be quick to show you all!

A new word and a new sign!

My new word is "ball" and I say it all the time. I think this makes daddy quite happy that my 3 word was "ball!" I can also sign ball!

My First Easter!

We spent Easter weekend in Columbus with mommies family! Mommy, daddy, Bailey and I packed up and piled in the car Saturday morning and arrived at Aunt Kristi's and Uncle Dustin's around lunch time. Addison and I were so excited to see each other for the second weekend in a row!!! We spent most of the afternoon playing while our daddies went golfing! Then we all went out to dinner at California Pizza Kitchen! Yummy!!!

Later in the evening (after Addison and I were sound asleep) gammy, poppy, and Aunt Lori arrived. Morning came quick for mommy, daddy, Bailey, and I!!! I was so excited that Mr. Easter Bunny had come so I wanted to get up bright and early to see what he brought me.... so the "Noah Alarm" went off at 5:30 am! Unfortunately, do to my early rising that morning I didn't make it to church. Daddy stayed home with my so I could nap while everyone else went to church. I took a great nap and was bright-eyed and bushy tailed for the rest of the fun-filled day!

We opened our Easter baskets which were full of fun things like stuffed bunnies, sunglasses, books, balls, clothes, lovies, and bubbles!

Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun came out today!

Me and my daddy!

I love to clap!

Happy Easter!

Showing Addison what the Easter Bunny brought me!

Sunglasses!

Addison got new sunglasses too! From mommy, daddy, and me!

Peek-a-boo! There you are cousin, Addison!

Time to take mine off too.

Addison, do you like your Crocs from mommy, daddy, and me?

Me and mommy!!!

The three of us!

Then we went on an Easter egg hunt and I found all different colored eggs filled with goldfish!

We also spent some time outside playing in Addison's wagon and Jeep!

With my shades on, of course!

And Addison's wore her bunny ears!

I did some more clapping as poppy pulled us around!

I got to wear the bunny ears for our ride in the Jeep!

And I did some more clapping, of course!

And I put some tunes on for Addison and I to listen to!

It couldn't be a holiday without some family photos!

Gammy, Poppy and me!

Me and Aunt Lori!

Aunt Beth, Uncle Matt, and me!

All of us!!!

Mommy, daddy, and me!

Snow in April (Remember, I live in Cleveland)!

Okay, so I'm behind again...this is actually from the first week of April.

Well, in most places Spring does mean Spring...however, not in Cleveland! Though, the official first day of Spring was March 20 that actually does not mean much to us Northeast Ohioans, UNFORTUNATELY! We wait....and pray...and hope...and keep our fingers crossed...and hold our breaths...until May. Yes, folks...MAY! Once May arrives, mommy says we can now say it's Spring! It's pretty typical to get at least one more snowfall (if not more) in April in Cleveland....at last that's what has happened the past 6 years that mommy has lived here. The weather sure did warm up nicely at the end of March and beginning of April. We took strolls, we went to the park, swung on my swing set....then bam! One day it was in the 60's, the next...SNOW! You should have seen me looking out the window...I was so confused....and was wondering when I was going to wake up from this nightmare!!!

Well, good thing mommy captured it with her good 'ole trusty camera. And thanks Mother Nature for always keeping me on my toes...and not letting me forget to not take Mr. Sun and Mr. Warm Temps for granted!

Ummm...mommy, where did all of this white stuff come from again?

Bailey says, "Oh, little bro, this happens every April....get use to it."

But, look there is so much of it..where did the sidewalks go that we were just walking on yesterday?

Mommy, do you see this?

Mine and mommy's weekend in Columbus!!!

On Saturday, mommy, Bailey, and I headed down to Columbus! Daddy was having a baseball draft with his friends at our house on Saturday so us three decided to get out of the guys way! Plus, we have been wanting to hang out with Aunt Kristi, Uncle Dustin, and Cousin Addison and Gammy even came too! Gammy's spring break started Monday so we stayed through Monday to spend some extra time together. It was such a fun weekend!!! Mommy and I haven't been able to stop talking about it and we told daddy a gazillion times how much fun we had!

I was a very good boy in the car and slept the whole way down to Columbus (and the whole way home too). Saturday, when we got there we had lunch, played, napped (another good nap....I woke up just before mommy was going to have to wake me for church). We went to church and then went to "The Club" (Aunt Kristi and Uncle Dustin joined a very nice country club and we have been wanting to see it) for dinner. It was actually the first time I have eaten out since I've been eating solids and sitting in a highchair. It was sooooo fun and I was soooo good! While waiting for my food, I tried to color but the crayons looked so good and I was so hungry so they spent more time in my mouth than on the paper! We had alot of very good food and I ate great! Addison and I hung out at the end of dinner, looked around at all of the people, looked beneath us at the mess we made on the floor, and Addison gave me some hugs and kisses!

Dinner at "The Club"

Cheesing for the camera!

More cheesing!

LIGHT! My favorite thing to do is to point at all of the lights and try to say "light"!

Being a good boy!

And taking it all in!

And being silly!

Addison and I were checking out what kind of mess we made on the floor.

Addison wanted to give me kisses....

Awwww

And hugs....awwww!

By the time we got back to Aunt Kristi's, it was a bit past our bedtime, so we had quick baths and then fell fast asleep. I even slept in the next morning...until 8am!!!

Sunday's weather was GORGEOUS!!! Mommy took me for a run in the Bob stroller before my morning nap. I loved it and just sat back and enjoyed the ride! After our morning naps, we spent the afternoon outside riding in the wagon and going for a drive with Addison in the Barbie Jeep! After our afternoon naps, we spent more time outside and swung on the neighbors swing set! We just loved being outside so much of the day! Then it was time for dinner and a much needed night's sleep after such an active day!

Going for a wagon ride!

Going for a drive with Addison in her Jeep!

Monday, after our morning naps and lunch we headed to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. Sounds really exciting, huh?!?!?! Not so much! Mr. Easter Bunny was actually quite scary to Addison and me. He was fine to look at from the distance...and even close up (for the most part) if we were in our mommy's arms. But the second the Mr. Easter Bunny touched us or had us sit on his lap....the smiles instantly turned to frowns, followed by loud cries and lots of tears! Maybe next year we will befriend The Bunny!

Mommy, Bailey, and I got on the road to head back home after the mall. We missed daddy and were so excited to get home to him! But we had so much fun in Columbus, we were sad to leave Aunt Kristi, Uncle Dustin, Gammy, and Cousin Addison. We can't wait to get back there this weekend for Easter! YAY!!!
