quick photo shoot

If you haven't noticed yet I take WAY to many pictures of this little guy. And the sad thing is that most of them don't even make it on the blog. I decided one day to take Noah out on our patio to get a picture to put on his birthday announcement. Holy cow, way more difficult that I had anticipated. I realized pretty much as soon as i started that i was going to have to be fast, cause he was off and away before I could get back far enough to take the picture! I took some then decided to wait an hour or so till Chris could come help me. Anyways. I looked back at some and decided i was happy with them so we called it quits. Later that night while Chris was making the announcements he went back and found a totally different picture that he liked better... And I did too....

So all of this cuteness for nothing. But I figure it is blog worthy just because I like him so very much...

Taking a break inside. So weird how my windows seem to get dirty...

When things really have to get done...

The day before Noah's birthday I was rushing to get things done. I had so many things to get done that even his 3 hour nap just didn't give me enough time. I had his cake and 50 + cupcakes to make. Noah really is an easy going kid. He will just follow me around as I do things around the house. My little crawling shadow staying right with me from room to room and "helping" with everything he can reach. I really do love it, it keeps our day fun. Well in the kitchen we have his jump-er-roo. He LOVES his jumperoo. The problem is that he only wants to stay in it and jump for a while, then gets mad because he is stuck in there. He would much rather pull himself up next to it and play with the toys and push it around. Well as most of you probably know, that is not a very sturdy thing to be using as a support. Noah doesn't mind :) He actually enjoys swaying it back and forth. It gives me a heart attack. Well this is what was happening while i was trying to get things done and I didn't have time to stand there next to him to make sure he didn't face plant it on our tile. I had visions of Noah on his first birthday with a big black bruise on his face. Finally I got smart, took it off the part it hangs from, and set it on the floor.... Problem solved! Noah was happy crawling back and forth to the toys and then back to the cabinet doors to open and close them. And I was free to not have to worry about him falling. I got a lot done while this went on. I suddenly noticed that he wasn't crawling around anymore, looked over and saw him all comfy in the seat. What a cute boy. I love that he is happy to play on his own sometimes. Especially on days like today :)

Also sorry he only has shorts on... I believe his shirt got dirty during lunch time.... And yes apparently i was to lazy to put on a new one.
