Playing in the dirt and rocks

Noah has found a new favorite place to play and get dirty. He loves to sit in the gravel and throw rocks at the dogs. I have been watching him and I think he might be left-handed. I am not for sure, but he does seem to throw most of the time w/ his left. Lately we have been working in the garage a lot and he is content on just sitting in the driveway throwing rocks. Unfortunately he sometimes thinks the gravels are food so we do have to keep a pretty close eye on him. He really likes to pick all the gravel up and throw it in the garage, until he steps on one barefoot. He is all boy cause he loves to get dirty and I think he believes the dirtier he gets the better.

Looks like we are going to Mississippi in December to visit. Hopefully everything will work out and we will get to go around the first of December. I haven't been down to visit in quite a while, and it will be very interesting to see how Noah does a very long trip. I am very excited about going, and my Granddad has already told me that we would go hunting if I came down. I haven't been hunting w/ him in a very long time so hopefully if we go I will be able to kill a deer. It will also be nice to visit w/ family I haven't seen in a long time.

Best friends

Noah and Ginger seem to get along pretty well. I believe Ginger thinks her job is to protect Noah from anyone she doesn't know. Noah is a growing little man at 25lbs now after Papa Joe weighed him last week. Noah stays pretty busy these days and loves to get into everything. He has learned that he can drag a chair somewhere so he can climb on it and grab something that is normally out of reach. We had to seal our trash can in the kitchen since a lot of stuff has turned up missing and one day I found my keys on top of the trash. We believe Noah found Nanas phone at the Funny Farm and did the same thing to it throwing it away since it has been missing for a while. It is no telling what he did get thrown out before we caught on to him, but we are learning slowly, and hopefully we want lose anything else in the trash.

Happy Grandparents Day

We had a little get together at the house yesterday to celebrate Grandparents Day. We cooked out on the grill and had a good time visiting w/ everyone. My parents, Leahs parents, both of Leahs brothers, and her Grandmother were all there. Dad and I went fishing on the lake that morning and I let Dad catch more fish than me since it was Grandparents Day. Just kidding, we had a great time on the lake and we did actually both catch a lot of fish, unfortunately none were trophies so we let all of them go. As you can see in the pictures Noah was enjoying his first corn on the cob, and I think he really liked it. Noah is really getting around well now, and he actually likes to walk on his own. We have to keep him away from the stairs unless we are w/ him, because he loves to play on the stairs. He is also learning that he can climb on things now, so he has found a whole new world to explore.
