Noah is 1!!!

Not the best post for his first Birthday, but it will have to suffice for now. We gave Noah some cupkake at our Small Group meeting and everyone sang happy birthday, but the video would not upload, which is lame. oh well.
Oh, and I know these pictures are brutally out of focus, and that stinks, because Ilove them so much. They were taken with a phone, and I put them in anyway, because they are great....and blurry...

How do they sleep like this???

just a simple new post

A quick little post here of some videos....Noah's first birthday is approaching fast. 9.9.09. Crazy. He is getting much better at eating, but he is still picky, and would prefer to not do the work. He still seems to love veggies, though, so that is good. Anyway, here are a few videos of recent activity.

This is Noah wanting to get the camera, but ends up playing a tilt head game with mom...

Here Noah is simply laughing...really hard. He thought aunt Joy was really, really funny....

Lastly, Noah really enjoys covering his face, and waiting for us to ask "where's Noah", to which he (normally) uncovers his face to reveal where he had been all this time. I actually find it funnier when he uses his little hands...he will cover his eyes, and thinks we can't see him because, well, he can't see us....here, he uses a blanket, with some coaxing....

Noah standing and his oh-so-unique-drag-leg-crawl..

Hello...pauly here. So, a lot has happened in this house since the last post. most of it has to do with how fast Noah is growing up...I was gone all last week, and when I got home, Noah was standing up using the couch...he is getting super mobile, and quite funny as well...Here are a few videos and pics. Noah is almost 11 months old now, and getting more and more bold by the minute...enjoy!



Love, love, love this picture of mom and son. I think you will too...

He still enjoys baths....that is good I suppose...

Ok, so next will be three videos...The first was a few weeks back, and it makes me laugh so hard, especially after he bumps his head, then sort of collapses. It ends with him looking at his turtle.



The next video is Noah showing how he "crawls". He has moved from his belly-military crawl to a more advanced, and much faster mode of transportation.





This video, well, just watch it. Noah stands up, and he really thinks he is funny.



And this is just Noah being Noah....playing with a ball, murmuring constantly...

"Hi"

Its official. Noah has said his first word. For a while he has been mimicking sounds and such but the last couple days he has been saying "Hi" at perfectly appropriate moments. Not only does he say "Hi" but he will wave at you with his hand while saying it. He has done it three or four times in the last couple days. I walked out of my room this morning and saw Noah for the first time that day and I was met with a "Hi" and a wave. So sweet.

Baby Bump and Tooth brush.

Hi everyone, it’s Joy, Noah’s Aunt. I thought I would post a few pictures for everyone. This picture is obviously revealing baby #2. Beth is 17 weeks (I think), so I thought it was about time we posted a "baby bump" picture.

The other day Paul noticed that Noah's breath was stinky :( so we all decided it was high time that Noah start brushing his teeth. He just cut a couple more teeth and now has a whopping 6 TEETH! What a big boy! Here are a few shots capturing Noah's first tooth brush. I think he really liked the strawberry banana tooth paste

Noah from our beach trip...a ton of pics

"You mean you are actually going to post on my blog? I cannot believe it." I think that is what this picture is saying!



So, the Stanfield family, which has gotten quite large over the years with weddings, babies, and such, took a beach trip in June. Lots of pics were taken, and I am going to post some of them...or a lot of them. There is also a new blog post below this one with a few more pics and some funny videos, so check that out as well. word.

This might be my favorite picture. Nothing like seeing your son caught in a perfect moment with his Grandpa.



The next few are great pics with Uncle Matt and Aunt Amy....




Noah actually loves water...he cannot get enough of the pool. the ocean was at first a bit scary, but once he realized it was water, he warmed up to it. but he seemed to enjoy sitting with mom while she sped through the Twilight series.



A few more of Noah and his mom and dad...I wonder if he knows he will be a big brother come December? Probably not. I don't think I believe it yet. I gotta get on that...




Aunt Lorean loves her nephews...She is teaching noah and james how to read...and share.


And this last part is all Noah....it is still his blog, so he can do what he wants....There are several close-ups in here that Uncle Dave took while in the back seat with Noah...he just kept snapping...enjoy.














Ok then. Hope you enjoyed those. I am sure we will post something else in another 3 months or so. That seems to be the going rate. This economy, you know....

Been too long, but look how he has grown!!!

chillin' with some toys...
I mean business!!!!
I was just kidding in that last one. I am ready to be nice again!


This one just makes me laugh. He was not hurt. he actually smiled just after, but the noise makes it sound like he would have been hurt. Tough guy.


This video makes me smile. Noah just recently started dragging himself around on his stomach. Not really crawling, but, well you will see. He had been doing this for probably a good 45 minutes. It was almost 10 PM, way past his bedtime. He was pooped, and he shows it in this video. He gave up....
