Más Leche Por Favor

YAY!!!  Noah spoke his first sentence the other day.  He has been saying small two word sentences, but this was his first full length complete sentence and… it was in Spanish.  “Más leche por favor” or “More milk please”.  I know I say this a lot, but he is getting so BIG!!!  We are very blessed to have Alejandra taking care of him while we are at work.  She is amazing, gentle and patient with Noah and she teaches him so much.  Best of all, they absolutely adore each other.       

First Bad Hair Cut

We normally have James’ friend Sean cut Noah’s hair and he does a really good job.  It always looks great and he is very gentle with the little guy.  It has been such a long time since Noah’s last hair cut (almost 3 months) I decided to act on my impulsive nature and go get his hair cut with Hunter’s lady.  I should have known it was a bad idea.  Hunter even admits the only reason he goes to her is because she washes his hair 4 times and he has been going there for so long.  Needless to say, it didn’t turn out well and I am pretty sure he will be scarred about hair cuts for quite a while.  I didn’t see what she did, she said it was just the cold of the scissors on his neck, but I can’t imagine Noah freaking out the way he did if it was just a cold object on his neck.  To make matters worse, the employees were trying to get him to stop going crazy so they took the electric razor and were pretending to cut a dinosaurs hair.  That freaked him out too.  Enough that when we were reading a book that night and I pretended to be a bee and buzzed and he grabbed his neck and said “boo boo”.  Why, oh why can I not learn the lesson to not act on my impulses?  

Dewberry Farms

For my birthday we took a trip to Dewberry Farms, in Brookshire.  When we got there it was completely packed!  They ran out of food and drinks, the pumpkin patch was almost empty and there were people EVERYWHERE.  We toyed with the idea of leaving, but decided to try it out.  Putting Noah back in the car was not really the best option.  As it turned out, we had a blast.  We watched pig races, played in corn, people watched, looked at all the different types of animals and so much more.  Noah even found a little pumpkin he was strong enough to lift and carried it around with him in the pumpkin patch.  

Georgia 2nd Birthday Party

A precious little girl and the daughter of our close friends turned two in October.  Georgia is such a sweet and adorable little girl, with beautiful blonde ringlet hair.  She had a dog themed birthday party at a park in Katy and it was so much fun.  Laura had such good ideas to keep the little ones entertained and there was a bouncy play area and lots of park activities to keep them busy and tire them out.  I, of course, forgot my camera but did end up getting one picture on my phone.  

Brushing Teeth

One of my very favorite things is watching Noah do things throughout the day.  It is amazing how much he learns day in and day out.  It is also very surreal to watch Noah mimic Hunter and I, and see us through his eyes.  The other day Noah and I were brushing our teeth and he grabbed the back of his hair (it was more of a fist in the side of his head) and blew zerberts into the sink.  I started to laugh so hard because it took me a minute to realize he was copying me holding back my hair while I spit the toothpaste in the sink.  Every time he brushes his teeth he still “holds back his hair”.  It makes me smile each and every time.  I wonder how long he is going to keep it up!
