VROOMMMMM....

Jeff was off from work yesterday, and spent the whole morning with Noah! Meanwhile, I was at Life Group in Lexington. This morning, Noah started making car noises....hmmm, I wonder if Daddy taught him that? :)

Sidenote: Notice the new standing skills!

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

Today was Grandpa Don's 60th birthday!! We traveled up to Daleville, to spend the weekend at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Jerry and Luc made the trip up too, because Luc's Grandma Bertie was also celebrating her 75th birthday today! The Mowrey's (Luc's family) all live in Tennessee, and had planned to surprise Bertie, by coming to Daleville unannounced! It was a really fun weekend, and great to see family!!

Of course, we couldn't go to Indiana without eating at Pizza King! This was the first time that Noah was able to join us in the culinary goodness!!

We had a pretty large group of people that were able to join us for pizza on Sunday....Don, Nancy, Renee, Uncle Steve, Aunt Eleanor, Uncle Danny, Aunt Karen, Immer, Denise, and Sharon. (Dennis and Judy Neal also stopped by for a bit.) Sharon is 9 months old, and I think Noah thought she was pretty cute!! :)

They kept trying to share food and holding hands! It was so adorable!

Something Worth Standing Up For!

Noah turned 13 months old today! As many of you know, he hasn't been too interested in pulling himself up to stand. He's very content to sit and play with his toys, and he's developed an interesting sort of scoot/crawl that gets him from place-to-place. So we've been wondering if he would find anything that would motivate him to stand...Up to this point, he's been just sitting in front of the toy box occasionally pulling himself up onto his knees to peer over the side. I'm the one that has been getting the toys out for him...which, since he can't tell me what toy he wants, can be a bit frustrating for both of us.
Look what he just started doing! It's so great that he finally figured out how to stand up and get the toys for himself! Yay, Noah!!

P.S. He's got two teeth trying to come through on the top! I noticed them tonight right before he went to bed.

Lake Cumberland

Today was Noah's first trip to Lake Cumberland! We had such a great time! While Jeff was tubing, Noah and I went swimming with our cousins--my cousin Danny, his wife Emily, and their little guy Sean. The boys had a blast playing in the water! At first, Noah wasn't real sure what to think about the whole thing. But I think seeing another baby enjoying it, helped him to loosen up. Sean was making motor boat noises (he was so cute)! By the end, Noah was relaxed enough to kick back and float around with me!

I only had a few pictures, because we were only there for the day. These pictures give you such a small glimpse into the fun that was had by all! Oh, and they definitely don't show who the ALL was: Uncle Danny, Aunt Karen, Scott, Betsy, Timmy, Michael, Allen, Danny, Emily, Sean, Tim, Hannah, My Parents, Jason, Tara, Trystan, Tayman, Taylan, Teagan, Andy, Jessie, Josiah, Jeff, Noah, and me! (I also need to mention that there were two expectant mothers in the bunch--Betsy and Hannah.) I think that's everyone!
