While Hannah was napping one day last week I helped Noni put this little gym together for her. Then, when she woke up, I couldn't wait to show her how it's done...
I really think she likes it.... or maybe she just liked spending time with her big brother - that could be too ;-)
This weekend we got together with family and celebrated Christmas early, before we head out to Montana (this weekend :-). My cousin Drew and I had fun
This year we actually have the concept of what presents are... our parents actually thought we'd take a good nap right after the excitement of opening all of them (silly!)
Especially after opening up this present from Papa and Noni!
I agree with mommy... if daddy could just stay home all the time life would be that much better. We love having daddy home. All is right in the world when we're all together...
Little Hannah loves her baths - I think she likes to listen to the running water. She's all soft and cozy afterwards too! 
I don't know what to tell you about these darn mittens though - I can't access my thumb, they get all twisted and in the way....
Yep, even in the cold and the snow I have fun just hangin' out with my daddy.
After almost a week of Grandma Bev and Papa Ike visiting and I almost have a version of "grandma" down... it's more of a "mema" or something, but it's getting closer. Of the many fun things we've done this week, getting our house ready for Christmas is one of them. Here are some pics of our unearthing of Christmas bins...as well as the rest of our week together . Man I'm going to be sad when they leave.
Today Papa, Daddy and I braved the Wisconsin winter weather and hunted down our very own Christmas tree. I can't believe it - we get to have a real tree in our house!
Mommy had to stay in the car with Hannah - it was too cold and wet for such a little girl. Next year we'll do it all as a family. This is one of mommy's favorite traditions.
If you look real closely (double click on this picture) - you'll see that I no longer have a bridge to my nose. Last night I took a head-first (mommy and daddy can only guess) digger as I fell out of my bed. I woke up this morning with a deformed-looking face :-( It's now turning into a nice bruise. Good thing mommy got my Christmas pictures taken before last night!
Daddy and I have created a new fun bath past-time.... sud make-overs. The best part is that I get to get daddy all sudded-up too!
Bath-time is one of my FAVORITE times... every night at the end of dinner I try to persuade mom and dad that I need a bath. Can you blame me - doesn't this look like fun to you?
We had an absolutely fantastic Thanksgiving! Here are some of the memories captured from the day. Goes down in record as one of the sweetest Noah days ever - lots of hugs and kisses for everyone. We're starting to realize he likes the crowd :-) And of course, had to have the camera out and ready to capture some of Hannah's open-eyed moments. 
Ok, so this entry was a lot more Hannah than Noah but it's hard to get a still shot of Noah - he's just on the go at ALL TIMES :-)
Having a new sister has really been fun (so far), especially because I have made Noni my own personal playmate :-) She has helped my mommy and daddy out SOoooooooooooo very much, and it's been great to have her play with me because we do so many fun things and projects. Today I got to put on my "paint shirt" and we painted some canvases for my big boy room. And then we got out the roller and made sugar cookies. My favorite part was to squish the dough between my fingers.... who says it can't be "play" dough?
