Noah playing in the yard

It was so nice yesterday that Leah and Noah played in the yard for a little while. I was cutting the grass while they took in some sunshine. Noah had a good time, and he thought it was so funny when Ginger would take off after a stick in the leaves. Here is a link to Noah laughing at Ginger playing in the leaves.

Dr Franks

Noah might become a doctor just like his Nana or Mom when he gets older. I guess he will be surrounded by medical people the whole time he is growing up so I wouldn't doubt him taking an interest in the field. We will probably need all the first-aid training we can get once he gets up and running.
We went out last night and celebrated Leah's birthday and had a good time. I met some of the girls from the office and we walked over to Ruby Tuesdays and had a nice dinner. Feel like the weather is finally breaking and we are starting to warm up. I hope it stays warm so we can take Mr Noah for some outdoor walks I am sure he would enjoy.

Noah and Ginger

Here is Noah hanging out w/ Ginger on our bed. I think Noah and Ginger are going to be very close friends once Noah gets a little older. Noah can be crying, screaming mad and when he sees Ginger walk in the room he almost always gets a smile on his face. Ginger is still very protective of him and I hope she will stay that way as he grows. Sometimes Ginger doesn't even approve of the way I play w/ Noah. She will get a little bit excited when I am playing w/ Noah and she will try to get my attention. I can only imagine the adventures these two will go on in the woods when Noah gets older.

Papa told me he weighed Noah yesterday and he is still around 20lbs. I guess he has kind of stalled a bit in his growth. I have noticed he doesn't seem to eat as much for lunch and dinner now, but I am sure that will change again soon.

Today is Leahs birthday and I think we are going out tonight after she gets off work to celebrate. She will turn the very young old age of 30 today. I guess I can not give her to hard of time about getting old since no matter what I will always be older than her. Grandmama said she wishes she could slow down her age, so she could watch Noah grow up. Time does fly and before you know it your working full time, married, and have a family to take care of. I guess it is all part of life, and hopefully we will all be around for a long time so we can see Noah grow, and maybe even have a couple brothers or sisters to play with.

Noah playing Mozart

This piano is one of Noah's favorite toys at the Funny Farm. He loves to sit in his lion chair and act like Papa by playing his mini-grand. He still likes to taste it just to make sure he is not suppose to eat his piano instead of play it sometimes. Papa said Noah is starting to like to bang the keys around on the real piano now as well. I guess when he gets a little older we will have to get him some real piano lessons.

I guess I almost spoke to soon on how well Noah has been going through his teething time. It seems like ever since I put that last post up he has not been a very happy camper in the late afternoon. He gets himself all worked up and the only thing we can think of is his teeth are bothering him. I had to buy another car seat for my truck since the one I was using only went up to 20lbs. I took on the job of installing it yesterday, and let me tell you it kicked my butt. I did a lot better than the first one I put in, but it seems like no matter how tight you get it, it just never really fits well. I think that some of the problem is my truck seat is small, but I still don't know why they make them so impossible to get in. Joe and I were talking yesterday about how new cars should just have them installed in them so you can just unfold them when needed.

I go back to the heart doctor today so they can run one more test just to make sure everything is working as it should. I feel great, and actually I think most of my palpitations are gone or actually I think I am just so use to them that I dont even notice them. Hopefully after this test I want have anything to worry about and I will back to normal.haha

First tooth

Noah has two teeth now on the bottom and it seems like they came in without to much trouble. I have heard terrible stories about babies teething, and I have to admit so far it hasn't been that bad. Here are some pics of Noah hanging out at the Funny Farm w/ Papa and Nana. He loves to hang out w/ them and I believe they like having him around as well. haha. It want be long before he is running around the farm building forts and taking us on wild adventures all over the land. I think we will all love living close by because of all the fun we will have and their will always be someone around to keep an eye on the little man as we know he will be into everything. I hope to have our house ready to go on the market soon so he can all adjust to living on the farm.
Nana's surgery went great, and as expected she was ready to go as soon as she woke up. She was ready to go back to work that day if they would have let her, but I think a couple days off was good for her. We could all tell even in the hospital she was anxious to get back to work as soon as she could. She is a pretty amazing lady considering how busy she stays and how she is able to keep up w/out slowing down. I know at my job I have one long night it takes me a couple days to catch up so I wish I had half the energy she does.
I really like the new station I am working out of, but it is a night and day difference compared to the one I was at. We stay busy running calls, and usually we are up and down all night. The types of calls we run keep you on your toes, and we really get to see some of the wild and crazy people of Roanoke. I plan on taking my camera to the station and get some pictures soon and once I do I will put them on here and show you some of the crazies I work with. We have a great crew and we all get along great which helps get through those long nights having fun and picking on each other constantly.

Laughing Noah

I was hanging out w/ Noah today and after I sneezed he started laughing at me. So I grabbed the camera and started filming him as I did some more sneezing. He was having a really good time laughing at me. He is really starting to laugh a lot more, and just seems to be very curious about everything he sees. I have heard a thousand times that do not put anything near a baby because they will put it in their mouth. I have found this to be so true, because if you turn away for just a second he will find something that you did not know was near him and try to eat it. I have been pretty lucky so far and as far as I know he has not digested anything he wasn't suppose to. I have still been trying to put the videos on the site, but unfortunately I am still unable to load them directly on the site. I guess until Noah gets old enough to help me w/ the computer I will have to keep putting just the links to them.
