Ta-Da

Noah and I were playing yesterday when he decided to go into my room and shut the door so I couldn't come in. (A fun little game we like to play) As I was knocking at the door (he usually knocks back) it magically opened and I heard "Ta-Da!" Noah opened the door all by himself! The funny part was once we both realized it, he then began to open and close the door for the next 20 minutes. I guess we are going to start moving on to the next phase of baby proofing!

Noah's new table

This is Noah's picnic table built with Daddy's fine craftsmanship. We had some wood left over from the pergola that we built a couple of years ago, so one afternoon Dave decided to build this. Noah has been into coloring, so this is a great place for him to do that.

Chatter Walk

For Noah's birthday he got the chatter phone, which he has enjoyed "chatting" with. However yesterday, he figured out that he can pull it around. I think he likes to watch the eyes move when he drags it! Here is a clip of him with his phone:

Playtime

Believe it or not, this is not time out. This is how Noah likes to play. I can't imagine that he is comfortable, but he seems to like it. I think this is how he hides his Thomas trains from me. :)

Wall Ball

Noah figured out that he can throw the ball against the wall and it will come back to him. The ultimate playmate!

Family Day

Today was such a beautiful day, so we decided to get out and enjoy the sun. We took Noah to the Toney Fire station this morning where he got to see the fire trucks. He was very fascinated with the "tires" of the truck. It was cute.
Then, we took Noah to the Huntsville Botanical Gardens. It was such a pleasure to watch him explore the flowers and plants. Noah also got to play in the kids garden where there are water rocks and a mist garden. It was fun to watch him laugh and play as he tried to hold the water back from coming out of the rock.

Alligator Adventure, SC

One of the coolest places I have ever gone is Alligator Adventure. Growing up my brother and I were always fascinated by alligators. So, in this adventure, I got to see many alligators! (I am sure my brother is jealous of this trip!) There were paths that were caged in that you walked over swamps of swimming gators as well as exhibits where we could view the alligators being fed. We also got to see an alligator that was 2000 pounds (it was HUGE!) and a group of albino alligators, which are rare. It was just what they claimed...a great adventure!
