We've had a busy week! We went to the zoo, and Noah learned where to find his (and daddy's) boogers! If you ask him where his boogers are, he'll put a finger up his nose so fast, you'd think he had known his entire life.

Noah being a big boy and eating with a spoon!

Noah and dad playing

It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Noah is adorable as ever, as you can probably tell from these pictures. The fuzzy picture of Noah's face is one that he is very proud of. It's the best (of about 30 or so) picture that he took of himself before the camera battery died--and dad took it away from him. I have no context for the one of him crying in his high chair, but I imagine I took it because everyone needs the embarrassing "I look like I'm naked in the high chair" picture to show the girlfriend when they get older. The other two are of Noah eating his first ribs. He attacked them and sucked all the juice out of the bone--but unlike most people he did this before eating the meat.

Noah's transition to being a big boy has continued in the last couple days. He used the phone correctly (though using the remote seems eerily similar to using the phone), he put in daddy's hat and wears about the same thing around the house that daddy does, and he's using a spoon to feed himself instead of using his hands!

Helping Out

Noah decided to help out around the house today. He used his own vacuum to clean up, but then he realized mom's was bigger and noisier.

Since coming home from Iowa Noah has painted a couple of times. We put down a shower curtain in the kitchen and just let him go to town. We put down a few pieces of paper, too, and the feet picture is one of the fun paintings we've got to sell for millions when he gets famous (or keep as a reminder of how cute he is).
