Gone to the Dogs.......Bowls

Even though the house is filled with enough Toys to run a day care. Noah's most favorite toys are the dog bowls. Poor dogs have to eat very fast. As soon as the food hits the bowl not only do the dogs hear it but Noah as well and he comes out to play with them and throw them around. He like the womp, whomp, whomp sound they make when they spin.

Magnetic attraction between babies and Pots and Pans Discovered!

Ok

It must be baby thing. Noah has discovered the cupboard containing the Pots and Pans. He is very good at pulling them all out and throwing them around the room. Next, I am sure like his father, he will be "cooking on the Sofa" and storing them underneath.

Como Park Zoo

Noah had his first trip to the zoo this past Monday. We went with a group of 7 other mom's and babies, and I can only imagine the sight we were with a group of 8 strollers. Noah had a great time, but mainly enjoyed watching the bigger kids run around. Some Primates showed him some action, so he did enjoy that. Como Park Zoo & Conservatory is a lovely place about 30 minutes from us. It recently completed some major reworking/construction. It's amazing a "free" place, that only asks for a small donation: http://www.comozooconservatory.org/

Pull to stand on Marta

Poor Marta. Noah uses her to pull to stand. Noah has a hard time when he gets to the tail end. He tends to get hit in the face with it. How do you stop this thing!!!

Giovanni's Birthday

Noah went to Lake Harriet in Minneapolis to go to his friend Giovanni's first birthday. He had a great time. He and Dad Ate Lot's of Cuban and Hispanic food. Noah tried fried plantain, Cuban chicken wings and red rice and peas.

BONSAI !!!

Happy after his bath

Pout!

A significant member(s) of the Noah blog fan group was actually complaining that the only pictures on the blog were of him with a happy face. So Kristin and I tried to get one of him in an unhappy pose. This turned out to be the challenge. As soon as Noah saw the camera, he smiled. We have him trained well. Here is Noah wanting more tofu and sweet potatoes. Yummy!
