Hanging out in my blue pjs Grandma loves so much!

Sling time with mommy is my favorite!

Play Time with Mommy!

Hanging out with Daddy!

On my 3 week birthday we went on my first forest adventure! I hear Mom and Dad love the outdoors, so I was excited to see all the trees and stuff! We found HUGE pinecones, almost as big as me!!

Today we went to Prospect Park in Redlands. It was a beautiful day and breezy in the park! We found a stage even... and Tim performed an excellent rendition of Goldilocks and the Three Bears for us! Here he is as Goldilocks!

And here I am making a silly face during the show.

On the trail... making another silly face!

Prospect Park is pretty... views of orange groves and mountains.

And then... a nap!

What's in a Name

Noah is "a boy's name that has been used since Biblical times to refer to the man who not only invented wine, but built an ark for refuge of animals to get out of the rain that lasted 40 days and 40 nights. After the Flood he received the sign of the rainbow as a covenant from God.

A Mommy's Love

This is Noah's mommy. I wanted to share something my friend, Sydney, once told me that, as a new mommy, I now fully understand. She told me that the love you have for your child is like no other. She explained that if, for example, your best friend is in danger and the only way to save him is by jumping into a fiery pit, you would likely consider your options first, try to see if there may be some another way before deciding if you are willing to jump into that pit, try to find a compromise. If, however, your child were in danger, you would run and push people out of your way to jump in that pit immediately, without a second thought, for the chance to save him.

The love I have for Noah is so profound and indescribable. And somehow it gets stronger everyday. I think I am literally going to burst with all this love and amazement for my little boy! This is more wonderful than I ever had dreamed. Every little squeak he makes makes my heart melt. Such a little miracle, my peaceful Noah.

My little Noah, one week and one day old.

He he he, another explosive poop for Mommy to clean up today! I was ready to get out of my PJs anyway, plus Mommy was talking about needing to do the laundry today... my contribution. Mommy took a picture of the mess, butr I convinced her you guys don't need to see it!

Meanwhile I saw a pumpkin bud in the garden... Daddy was really excited! He grew the pumpkin plant from seeds and has been waiting months and months for something to happen!
We also went on a nice walk this morning around the neighborhood and Mommy and Daddy showed me a day care that is really close to home...

The sling is so cool!

Out on the town... sleeping...
