Economics lesson

Yup, you're never too young to keep updated on the latest in world business.

My mind, it is blown.

This post is dedicated to the things that I am astonished Noah can do. Beyond getting cuter every week, of course. First of all, he has been working on using a cup. A real cup, with no baby sippy attachment.


He actually does a decent job.


Until he gets bored and dumps it out.


Oh well, better luck next time. In other culinary news, Noah is tired of us messing with his bananas and wants to eat them himself.


See, Grammy? I told you I can eat the banana myself.


And finally, the most mind-blowing thing he did this week. Chad and I were making dinner, which involved stirring some vegetables in a wok using a wooden spoon. Noah was getting impatient, so I gave him his own wooden spoon and set him on the floor. In the past, this has worked to distract him as he proceeds to bang the wooden spoon on things.

This time, however, he did this:


I KNOW! I did not give him that pot. He went over to his play kitchen, got it himself, and when I turned around he was stirring it with the spoon. Clearly a genius, this kid.

Thank you cards

We have been really enjoying celebrating Noah's first Hanukkah.


Noah would like to say thank you for his awesome gifts. We started with some practice, where Noah helped Grammy and Grammy Sue with their gift. Which was wrapped in paper.


And I guess there was some stuff in the box, meh, whatever.


The exciting part was the paper.


Yay paper!!


Eventually we wrangled him away from the paper so he could work on his own gift, this one from Grammy.


Duck Washcloths! Woohoo!!


The next night Noah opened some great gifts from Saba and Nana. He's not really sure what to make of the popper toy...


But the train, he understands.


Dear Saba and Nana. Thank you for the gifts. Also, thank you for wrapping them in paper. I love paper.


Dear Aunt Sarah and Uncle Alex. Thank you for the tricycle. Mommy says it is too dark and cold to ride it right now so she is just letting me play with the box. I love boxes.


Dear everyone. Happy Hanukkah!!

Noah would like to show you his Steve Jobs impression.



For his next trick, he will show daddy how to properly program in objective c.



Iphone app replication issues: solved!!

Playground!

We have been going to the playground on the weekends lately, where there is a big dinosaur for the little guys to play on.


We think Noah approves.


He can basically traverse the whole thing.


And he loves it.


Up and down the stairs.


And at the end, down the slide. Which he loves, by the way.


Basically, the kid just loves to climb and we like him climbing something other than our stairs.


Also, swinging.


We LOOOOOOOVE SWINGING!!!!!



Yay playground, yay outside, yay sunshine.

Taking notes

Another skill to be filed under "huh. I had no idea he could do that."
