swim lessons

Swim lessons in June, in Wisconsin can be iffy. We only made 3 of the 6 days because of chilly weather, some rain, and friends from out of town visiting....
















Mommy took me on the last day, and they let us
explore and practice our
skills.




Then before we left, mommy took me down the big slide 3 times! I giggled the whole way up the stairs and all the way down - ZOOM! Daddy couldn't make it this time because he was working hard on the basement with Papa and Uncle Steve.

My first zoo trip

Noni and Papa took me to the zoo for the very first time! I got to see the monkeys, giraffes,

and LIONS!

It wore me right out - I crashed in the car on the way home.

daddy's day 2007

We started out the day talking to Papa Ike and Grandma Bev on our web cam.







We spent the rest of daddy's day at Auntie Sharon and Uncle Wes's house! It was fun, and HOT! We got out the pool where Andrew played ...

and I mastered getting in and out, again, and again,














and again!

For the most part I was a very good little boy on daddy's day, except I'm cutting 2 big teeth and was a little zombie-esk for part of the day. Just think of all the food I'll be able to chew when these giants come in!

Chocolate chip....yum yum!

My first experience with chocolate.... freshly baked chocolate chip cookie - MMMMmmmm delicious! "More"?

day at the beach

This weekend we explored the world of water....at the BEACH! Mommy and daddy took me to cousin Holly and Tim's, where I got to feel the sand between my toes.

It's also a great place to pick up a new pair of shoes.... anyone missing a pair?

daddy's bud

I love my daddy! Mommy loves this picture of me and daddy!

I'm becoming quite the little charmer when that camera comes out - my first "grin".

my new cuddlin' style

I have found a great, new way to bond with Bridger...




She is so soft and cuddly - when I'm really tired, I like to curl up against her fur and snuggle.

first piano lessons

I have heard mommy and daddy play it before, but had no idea how fun it would be to make my own music!

twin cities trip

Mommy and daddy took me on a jog in the morning and we stopped
at their favorite place to take a picture. I can't wait until I'm big enough
to enjoy our trips to the cities more.










Here's a couple pics of the bunny I got for Easter - it's been a lot of fun -
one of my "preferred" toys this week.

my new jacket

I got this spring jacket for my birthday from a special grandma - and I just love it! It lets me be outside even when it's a little chilly out.

I don't even mind wearing the hood.

The Great Outdoors

Springtime is great! I could spend all day outside (if I could just
convince mommy and daddy to let me).







I've even learned my exits and have tried pleading by the back
door to go outside.








It feels great to feel the grass between my toes -










and the wind in my hair!











Bridger really likes it too.

Crazy legs 2007

Andrew and I got free rides in crazylegs this year....
Papa Tom and Papa Ike had us riding in style.

Auntie ran her very first race -
and did awesome! (She kept mommy going)

My vote: let's do it again next year!

My new wagon

I think my expressions say it all....

a little less subtle this time

I know this picture is a repeat from his birthday group, but thought we might change the focus of the picture slightly - removing all subtlties :-)

We thought it was a bit big on Noah, but that it would be a better fit, say, in November!!!!!

My birthday weekend!

My birthday weekend has been the very very best! I have a lot of pictures to share....so be patient (it's worth the wait :-)

First off, my Papa and Grandma from Montana came to visit me. I haven't seen them since THanksgiving! We have had so so so much fun....

On my birthday we went to the park.... and had ice cream....

And then I got to open some presents from my cousins.... Brandon and Avery - I love my monster trucks! How did you know? Brandon, wait until you see my monster dump truck that I got from my WI cousins!

Megan and Maycee gaved me this awesome firetruck! I can't believe how fun it is to ride around, push it around and dance with the catchy tune. Thanks cuz's!

The bows and cards and paper and boxes were some of my favorite, most captivating things.....

But this monkey chair is pretty cool and comfy! I can't wait to go camping this summer in Door County and check it out!
