More piano footage

Noah loves to play the piano, and I think he's pretty good for a 17 month old.



Usually he doesn't need the mouse to get started, perhaps he is exploring digital music.

Spaceship Book

Noah loves his Star Wars spaceships book, and likes to help read it by reading the sounds listed with each spaceship.



Subtitles: Zoom! Zip! Whoosh! Zap! Boom!

Impressive, huh? We were kind of astounded when he started doing this, since we didn't teach him to do it, we just read the book a few times. Apparently he was really paying attention.

An uncanny ability to retain information about Star Wars? Perhaps another early sign of a budding engineer?

jumping buddies

Noah's friend Caroline came over for a playdate this morning, and they had a very good time. Caroline is an excellent jumper.



(they also play with each other without our constant direction, they just don't do so in frame)

Today's video

In which Noah shows off many of the cute things he can do



My favorite part of this video was showing it to him after I had recorded it. He was cracking up watching himself.

My least favorite part was when I decided enough is enough after showing it to him five times and apparently totally broke his heart by putting away the phone. Drama. Sigh.

from the "waaahhhh" department

Oh my goodness look at him! He is SO OLD!!! When did this happen?


I feel like I should be signing him up for Tball or something.


Thank goodness he is still in diapers and only has eight teeth. Otherwise I'd be concerned we were basically done with babyhood.


And that just went way too quickly.

We all scream

It was gorgeous and hot the other day, so we took a walk down to JP licks after dinner and got Noah his first ice cream cone (previous attempts at ice cream have always involved spoons). He didn't really get it.


He liked the ice cream, but didn't understand why the delivery had to be so cold.


Luckily the fun of having the same ice cream as daddy made up for the difficulty in actually eating it.

Playdate

Noah had a great playdate with his friend Caroline last week. I thought I might get some cute pictures of them together, instead they just ran around like maniacs.


Laughing giggling maniacs


But not great for pictures. Instead, here are some cute pictures of Noah wearing my sunglasses.



Enjoy!

From the "wow, he doesn't need me" dept

Noah can manage the playground just fine on his own, thank you.

Jump

I know, I know, I fail at blogging. Here's a video to make you feel better about it. Noah is learning how to jump!
