November Fun

All right, let's get this show on the road...

Here we go!

Hey everybody! I'm having a really busy but very fun November so far. I'm getting to see a whole lot of family and friends, which is always great.

First of all, I'm talking a lot! I'm doing more and more pointing at things and saying what they are. My favorite things to talk about are ducks ("a quack quack!"), various foods and especially, buses. Each time Daddy drops me off, I get excited about every bus I see and scream out "a bus! a bus!"

This week, I used my first-ever three-word phrase: "A big piece!" I was talking about food, not Ryan Howard! Here's a video:




Anyway, I've had lots of visitors the last couple of weeks. Grammy and Grandpa came in for a visit last weekend and we had a great time. We went out to dinner at Hibachi, which was lots of fun. I loved seeing the fire on the grill and the man slicing everything up, although they wouldn't let me catch the shrimp in my mouth at the end.

I love chopsticks

We also spent a morning at Linvilla Orchards, along with Uncle Jason, Aunt Debra and Cousin Joshua, where I got to play on the playground:

I went down the little slide...

And the big one:

On Monday I spent the day with Grammy and Grandpa and we had a great time.

Thanks for the frog!

Here's a video of us reading my Halloween book:

This weekend I got to see my friends Brody and Asher, who came to visit for the day on Saturday along with their parents Jen and Jason. We went to one of my favorite places in the city, the Please Touch Museum, and had lots of fun playing:

Here I am on the carousel at the museum. It was so much fun!

Then Sunday my friend Scott came over to watch the Eagles game, along with his parents Bill and Christie. Scott's older than me by just two days, and I'm happy to say I'm starting to catch up with him in height. We had a good time, but the less said about the Eagles game, the better!

Anyway, a big week ahead, and then, before we know it, Thanksgiving! Thanks for reading everyone.

Love,
Noah

Noah's October

 

 

 Hey everybody! It's been a very exciting month, and I want to start off by sharing the most exciting news of all- I'm going to be a big brother! My new brother or sister is due to arrive next March, and I can't wait to have a sibling who's so close to me in age. Mommy's doing all right so far.

Anyway, even though Halloween's more than a week away, I'm really getting into the swing of things. I'm dressing as a chicken, a costume that everyone seems to love, even though one lady the other day asked me to give her some eggs.

Saturday I went to Linvilla Orchards with Mommy, and then with Mommy and Daddy to a Halloween party, before we had dinner with Cousin Goldie and her fiance Dan.

Then, Sunday, I went to "Boo at the Zoo" with Mommy and Daddy, Mommom and Poppop, and my aunts, uncles and cousins. Not only did we get to see all the animals, but we went trick-or-treating too!

After that, Mommy and Daddy and I went to a special Halloween party for former NICU patients at Lankenau Hospital, where I was born and spent my first 55 days. I got to see a couple of my nurses and even some other kids who were in the hospital with me- Mommy and Daddy and I are so thankful for all the help they gave us back then!

Tuesday Cousin Joshua spent the day with Mommom and I and we had fun all over the city!





Here are some other highlights of my recent adventures:

Somebody's at the door and three cousins want to know who...

Signing some important documents

Perusing Home Depot- I've got some remodeling ideas!

Out to lunch with my friend Anna

Climbing up the crib

One other thing- I have a new favorite character: Kermit the Frog! Daddy introduced me to him, and has been showing me clips on YouTube, from "The Muppet Show," his movies, and even his old "Sesame Street" appearances. It's made me very into frogs in general. Here's a video Daddy put together of me watching Kermit, and eventually playing with some real frogs at the zoo:

Also, Daddy just got a new iPhone, so prepare for better pictures and videos of me, and more of them too!

And finally, I was just wanted to say how glad I am that Aunt Hannah is feeling better.  So glad you could come to the zoo on Sunday!

Love,
Noah
