i will soon be a traveling baby!

I am so excited! Mommy and I are going to Seattle soon (that's where my mommy and daddy met before I was born) AND New Hampshire (that's where my mommy grew up)!

Seattle trip May 13 to 17

New Hampshire trip (actually flying in to Boston) July 20th to Aug 3rd

Daddy will only be with us for the first week, then Mommy and I will be hanging out at Memere's for a week.

Yipee!!!!!!!!!!

7 months old

I am 7 months old today! Here we are, me and Grover.

I do still like to suck my fingers!

So, what have I been up to this month?

I can sit up all by myself really well and don't even need to be supervised anymore.
And I can even bounce up and down on my bottom while sitting!

I can pull myself across the floor to get a toy! I am really starting to like getting around!

I can even hold myself up when my mommy puts me on my hands and knees.

I like to bang my hands on the table and bang and shake toys a lot... but my favorite is still putting everything in my mouth!

I can babble all sorts of sounds, like mama and dada, but I don't know what it all means.

I think my name is Noah.

I like to sit in front of the mirror and play.

I am starting to not like it when my mommy leaves my side.

Uncle Tim came to visit me and I went to Joshua Tree again.

I had a playdate at my house with Trent, and one with Sophia and Trent, and a playdate at the park with them and Adam. Oh, and another one with just Trent while his mommy and daddy were working.

I am eating carrots, apples, pears, butternut squash, sweet potato, peas, and zucchini... and I don't like bananas or oatmeal.

I still smile all the time and people like to smile back!

I celebrated Easter in Palm Springs with Yai Yai and Papa and met the Easter Bunny and felt a real earthquake.

I did the NFAR 5K with my family in San Diego.

And... I like to play Peek A Boo:

First Taste of Zucchini

At first I was like.... WHAT is that?! But then I decided... This isn't so bad! :)

noah

I definitely know my name is Noah now!

Getting mobile!

Look at me gooooo!

separation anxiety

This last week has been a little tough on me... I really, really, really just want to be with Mommy and when she walks away, even if just for a second, it makes me sad! Whaaaaaa!

Getting ready to crawl?

Look at me! Mommy helped me get in this position, but I held myself up pretty well! I am awesome.

Watch me in action here:

Uncle Tim's visit

Last Wednesday Mommy and I picked up Uncle Tim from LAX and then spent the day at Venice Beach!

It was tiring!
Hanging with Uncle Tim back at the house.

Then we went mini golfing at Fiesta Village! I was hungry so I we hung out on the green for a little while.

Uncle Tim gave us a new book, Googly Eyes, and it came with sticky-back Googly Eyes! So we had fun finding places to put them.

Playing with Tim! He is super fun!

This past weekend Daddy took us all to Joshua Tree. We had lunch here, on the side of the road.

Then we went on a hike. We got a new backpack that let's Mommy and Daddy carry me and all my stuff on their backs!

Googly eyed crotchety old rock!

Oooh, rocks!!

Here is where we had dinner, at Quail Springs.

Restrooms!

This has been a fun week! Uncle Tim is silly and goofy and I just LOVE him! Here's a slide show of all the pics from Tim's visit:

April Playdate at the park

On April 11th I met my friends, Trent, Sophia and Adam, at the park for another fun-filled playdate. We all shared our toys, and slobber and had tons of fun!

Check out Sophia's Easter Bunny hat!

Trent

I like Adam's toys!

My buddy Adam :)

Gimmie that!

Checking out Sophia's cool new toy!

Group photos are so hard to do!

Yucky Banana

As it turns out, I really don't like banana! Yucky!

Food is good

I love food. I love my sweet potato, I love my peas, I love my carrots and now I love my pears. I want more!

Me and Mommy

This is Mommy and me at Easter.
