Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...


Today is January 20th and it was 77 degrees! We took advantage of today's beautiful weather and visited the Dallas Zoo. This was Noah's second trip to the zoo. His first trip was last February, on another gorgeous winter day. He was much more aware of the animals this time and was so excited to walk around and explore.

He doesn't look too thrilled here. He wanted to get down and run around - not look at the camera with Mommy holding him.

First thing he did was run to the slide in the Children's Zoo area. He loves to slide!

"Hey Mom, look at me!"


I love this pic because it look like the fish is giving him a kiss.

I think the koi "pond" was his favorite part today. Some of the koi were as big as he was! He could have looked at them all day long.

He also loved the goats.

This child has NO FEAR. He ran right up to goats to pet each and every one of them.



Noah's Latest Trick

Noah is discovering new things every day. From new things to look at to new things that he can do. He is very good at climbing up and down our stairs now and can do so all by himself (for the most part). He has now discovered he can climb the outside part of the stairway. Scary!!

These pictures were taken a couple of nights ago. It was the first time and we were both so amazed that we kind of just let him do it to see how far he would go. We do not allow him to do this anymore. :)






After he got mid-way up, he climbed down a couple of steps and plopped down onto the sofa. He laughed the entire time. He is definitely going to be a handful as he grows up!

Flashback Friday

I love this picture of Noah with his sunglasses on. This picture was taken in Colorado. It was Noah's first time in the snow.

Flashback Friday

I am going to try something new starting today - Flashback Friday.



It's almost hard to remember that Noah used to be this small! Both pictures were taken when he was almost 2 days old. He is growing up way too fast!

Ice Skating

Noah got his first pair of baby ice skates for Christmas so we decided to take him ice skating. We went to the Galleria in Dallas. Grammy, Amy, Bryce and Garrett joined us and Grandma. Noah loved it at first but quickly became frustrated. That's okay, he's got plenty of time to learn! He sat out with the Grandmas and watched everyone else skate.





Christmas 2011

I am FINALLY posting about Christmas. We had such a good Christmas this year. Noah was a little more aware of what was going on this year but I know next year will be even better. Our little guy made out like a bandit with gifts from his sweet family!

We had Christmas with Adam's side of the family on December 23rd. Noah had so much fun playing with his cousins. I think that is the best present for him! I actually forgot to bring our camera, so the pictures were taken by Aunt Amy (thanks!).

Who cares what's in the box?! It's more fun to jump and dance ON the box!

My mom flew in from Atlanta on Christmas Eve and was able to spend an entire week with us. Christmas morning we all opened our presents.

Noah saw his Rody Horse first and jumped right on!

Merry Christmas from Grandma!

Ooh, what's inside?

New slippers!

Later in the week, we took a day trip down to San Antonio to visit my grandparents and aunt. Mom hadn't seen them in awhile and it had been a couple of months since they had seen Noah.
