Ball Pit

I am soo good at pulling myself up to stand and will try anywhere!

Going to see DADDY!

I got a new ball pit!! Daddy's' friend from work, China, gave this to me and I LOVE it!!! I also got a new chew toy that Mommy has heard a lot about, Sophie the Giraffe, she's from France! (and is expensive, so Mommy says I better love it!) :)

Happy Father's Day

We went to San Diego this weekend to celbrate Father's Day! Daddy and Uncle Jeff made stuffed hotdogs.

Daddy really loves gourmet grilling!
Me and Mommy.
Hot Air Balloons float above the backyard often.
Me and Uncle Jeff!

Aunt Summer and my cousin Sydney!

Me and Daddy, my hero! (see my shirt?! I picked it out for Daddy for this special day!)

On Father's Day we went for a nice long walk on the beach! It was gorgeous!

Daddy and me!

And tonight I ate a whole bunch of yummy avacado, oh, and I imitated Mommy and Daddy for the first time (clicking my tongue). Oh, AND I splashed in the bathtub for the first time!

I want to say Happy Father's Day to my Daddy. He is my hero! I love him so much. He is so fun and takes good care of me. He changes my diapers and feeds me and hugs and kisses me lots. He plays with me and makes silly noises all the time. My daddy is always smiling and I know he loves me a lot. He is the best Daddy in the whole wide world!

And while I am at it, Happy Father's day to all the other Daddy's in my family - Papa, Grandpa Volkmann, Great Grandpa Volkmann, Pepere, Uncle Jeff, and Uncle Chris!

This week

I love My Gym! We spent 2 hours there today for class and then free play. I met another Noah too! He was 2 and 1/2 and I loved watching him when he was jumping on the trampoline! I also reeeally like balls, especially big ones, they are so fun to push and chase after!

Mommy and I met Seth and Karen at storytime again this week! It is so fun!

Here's me and Daddy!

This week I am starting to figure out how to wave to people too.

Happy Anniversary, Mommy and Daddy!!

Today was my Mommy and Daddy's first anniversary! They got married one year ago today in New Hampshire. I get to go to NH in a month, yipee!! So, Mommy and Daddy went to the Mission Inn Resaurant in Riverside while Karen and Seth babysat me! My very first babysitting experience... it was a little tough when it was time to go to bed, and I let Karen know I wasn't too happy Mommy and Daddy weren't around, for about 20 minutes. (I cried). But other than that I had lots of fun hanging out with Seth!

Happy Anniversary, Mommy and Daddy!

gate

Daddy says I am like a little toy when I bounce around at the gate ... like one of those toys where you push up the bottom and makes the little animal dance. Whatever Daddy. :)

My Gym

I went to My Gym today for the first time! That place is coooool! My buddy Adam was there too! Mommy is going to sign me up for classes this summer. I am so excited! There are so many things to plan on and in and so many kids to watch!

Top Names in 2009

Turns out my parents weren't all that original in naming me! Noah was the 9th most popular name last year in the country. (Jacob was #1, Ethan #2, Michael, Alexander, William, Joshua, Daniel, Jayden, Noah, Anthony). Noah was number 19 in California though, number 12 in Washington, and number 11 in New Hampshire. I guess that's better than my grandparents! Christopher was number 3 in 1975 and Jennifer was number 1 in 1976!!

Karen and Seth

Mommy and I got to see Karen and Seth today in Riverside! I like Seth a lot! He is silly and makes funny noises! Karen's alright too ;) he he. :) We hung out and walked around Mission Inn, so pretty and lots of nice people who all seem to think I am pretty cute and smiley. I did get called a girl though. hmph.

Here's a video of me and Seth having a very nice conversation!

Story Time

Mommy took me to the library for the firsdt time today. There was a story time with all sorts of singing and dancing... and 100 people! It was so fun, I got to play with an egg shaker and beat on a drum too! I can't wait to go again!

Safety Gate

Mommy and Daddy put up a new gate for me! Now I have a special place to practice standing!! Yeah, that's right! I can stand AND took a few sideways steps at this gate!!

Playdate and More

This has been an eventful week!!! I can pull myself up to stand now, which I started to do about a week or so ago!! And I can crawl on my hands and knees, something I figured out just this Sunday the 6th right before my playdate! And this tooth is stilling cutting through!

Mommy and Daddy had to lower my crib since I pull myself up to stand now!

Mommy took this pic after I just woke up. This is my Prince Charming shirt from Jackie and Rich! Still fits!
On Sunday the 6th we had a Playdate at Yvette's!!! It was Yvette's birthday too, and Corinna's birthday the day before!
Jacob, Alex, Asher, me, Sophia and Adam! We all had so much fun playing together. I hadn't seen these guys in ages! At first, it took me a little while to take it all in, I had to just sit there and look. But after a few minutes I started to play with some toys and stuff. There were so many babies. I met Alex and Jacob for the first time too! And saw my old buddies, Sophia, Adam and Asher too!

Yesterday, Mommy took pics of my just after my bath. So embarrassing! But check out my hair, I swear, my hair did this naturally!

Here's a slide show of my recent playdate with all sorts of friends, of videos of me crawling on my hands and knees, and of my silly mohawk! Enjoy!
