Portrait Session

Our neighbor (Meg who Rachel has been cooking meals with) works at Portrait Innovations. She took some pictures of Noah for us last night. :-) hope you like them as much as we do!

Six Months!

Well, Noah is six months old now, and can do all the classic baby stuff.... crawl, roll around, sit up, play the drum, lift weights, and mamba dance!

As I write he is playing with the drum and Caleb's barbell at the same time. He is an immense joy:-) and we can't imagine our lives without him.

The weather has gotten nice again after some snow.... so we have been out and about, playing on the swings and crawling around in the grass.

Caleb took his boat out for a ride a week or so ago, and I know he is anxious to take Noah as soon as we can find him a baby life jacket.

Last night we went on a spur of the moment date in Lexington (very spur of the moment, we weren't expecting to go out, so we were in our leisurely Friday night sweats!) it was fun. Went to the dollar theater and saw the movie "Water Horse" about a little boy who finds a baby lochness monster. It was really good actually.....and Noah just thought the creature was the greatest thing. The whole theater was quiet except for Noah who kept on laughing his big belly laughs! We then went out for a hamburger, and Noah sat in his big boy high chair, we got him some apple sauce, which he liked (sort of.) we haven't been giving him much in the way of solids, I am afraid he is going to be rather picky.

For the past few weeks I have been getting together with a friend of mine, ( Meg, used to be a missionary midwife in the Phillipines) and cooking meals for the week. We each make three (times two) and then we have six meals of a very interesting variety to have throughout the week. This is interesting and fun, we have had very different meals lately, like lentil curry and adobo (a phillipino dish).
