this past week




Last Monday Jon took the morning off of work and we went to the children’s museum. It was a lot of fun. They have all different rooms with themes like digging, grocery, art, acting, water, hospital, etc. They’re filled with hands-on activities for the kids and although Noah is a bit little for much of it, we all still had fun. Surprise, surprise, the water area was his favorite. It was a fun outing with Daddy.



Friday Noah and I went to the coast with my Mom. It was the first time we’d been since Noah has been mobile. Again, water was involved so he LOVED it. The weather was a bit cool and wet but not terrible. We’ll have to go again but with Daddy this time. For more coast pictures check out my facebook.
We discovered on Thursday that Noah is allergic to something. I wish I knew what it is. He broke out in hives all over his tummy and back. Maybe it’s coconut (I made these really yummy almond energy bars that had coconut in them). I’m just reluctant to give him hives again by trying bits of things it might be. Better to find out now than to wonder all the rest of his life I guess.
Noah had a big fall down some stairs on Friday evening while at some friend's house. It was pretty scarry. He slid down the stairs on a baby gate he had pushed over and flipped over at the bottom. It could have been bad but by the grace of God he only has a rug burn under his eye.

Getting Noah to go to bed/sleep has been a nightmare this past week. Noah discovered how to crawl out of his bed last week and now that it’s a "big boy bed" he keeps getting up. We put him to bed at 8pm last night and he finally went to sleep at 10pm and only because I stayed in there with my hand on him. He’s finally asleep now and this is the second time I’ve tried today. I think he fell over from exhaustion.
That’s all the news here.

Noah is looking less like a baby and more like a big boy! That move to a "big boy bed" can be rough on parents! :)

He is totally looking like a little boy, when did that happen?! He has so much hair now! That children's museum looks like a lot of fun. We might have to go there next time we're in Oregon... Abigail is in the big bed now too and we're re-triaing for bedtime and naps. Overall, it's been a great thing though! Good luck!

noah reminds me of ryan:) Ryan used to fall asleep (finally) by the baby gate in the door way. We used to tiptoe around hoping he would go on to sleep. Now -- hope for you:) he goes to be easy and you can threaten with spanks and it actually works:) Matthew is another story and a entirely different kid head to toe. I haven't figured him out yet:)
