These last couple months have been full of physical milestones such as crawling ever faster, crusing around all the furniture and walls, pointing, waving, shaking to the music, crawling up the stairs, pushing his toys around. He also loves making car noises, mimicking animal noises, saying Mom, Mama, Da, Dada, an attempt at shoe "shh shh", "Ooo" at things he is excited about and the latest "wohoa" for thing that are impressive.

This is Noah's first time in the small inflatable pool we bought to enjoy the summer on our deck. He had tons of fun splashing and being splashed.

We had to include this because this is Noah's favorite water toy (forget all that colorful plastic!), all he wants is this cup to make noises into, fill up with water and shake and pour it around.

This strange phenomenon deserves some serious inspection.

We were very happy to get a visit from Matt's Aunt Bobby who happened to be in the area for a couple days.
We were fortunate to have our good friends Jenn, Brad and their daughter Paige visit for a weekend. We had a great time hanging out, playing with the kids and took a enjoyable trip to Old Occaquan.

Yo check out these awesome stripes!

Noah don't be jealous of my amazing standing ability.

We enjoyed a nice week long visit by Noah's Nanny Ferriter and since Michelle now lives in Balitmore it makes for easy family get togethers.

Noah loves checking out the grass and looks for all sorts of sticks and leaves to taste test.
