Thanksgiving!

Our Thanksgiving this year was humbling, but we also had much to be thankful for. Nathan got sick (strep throat) the night before Thanksgiving and remained sick until two days after. This not only hindered the way he spent his time celebrating with family, but also the amount of pictures he took.
So, here is what we got.

Melodie's college buddy Nicole came down for a lovely 4 day visit! Most of their time was filled with activities centered around food! Hot Dogs and S'mores around the campfire was a must!
Nathan's cousin Kara decided that Noah's hair better match his "rock star" shirt!
Nathan's cousin Ava stole Noah's attention with her guitar shirt and they became instant buddies.
Today, it was time for "Grandma" Judy, Noah's usual babysitter, to get her hands on Noah again. This time, for some quality pictures.
It was also a great time to get together for a family photo for the season!
Like I said before, we have so much to be thankful for. Noah spends so much time in and out of the crib right before and right after naps making different "Ah" and "Aa" noises to himself. He is truly creative. When we can get him to sustain one pitch at a time, he is going to be a louder singer than his father!

Finally a Few Formals!

This is our attempt and formals. Being a photographer is great, until you want to be in the pictures you're taking!

It's a shame that outfits like this can only be worn once!
Yhaddy stops in for a little time with Noah... let the entertainment begin!
It is too bright and too cold for fall pictures dad...
...but I'll smile anyway!
We are blessed that most of our time with Noah is like this!
He's still trying to figure out what the BIG black thing with the flash does!
It is clear to see who he gets his crazy hair from.
One happy family!
First flying lesson!
Daddy's balancing act!
He was not so keen sitting on daddy's shoulders yet...
...but he loves "How big is Noah? Sooooooooooo Big!"
Unlike Daddy, Noah has always been very focused. Whew!

Textbook Baby Boy!

After taking a recent quiz to see how our baby's behavior and general tolerance is... it seem as though we have a "textbook baby". Which we are determining to be quite good, considering we really don't have a lot to complain about. As much I like seeing his sad face when he wants to eat and may not be having success... it seems as though his "fits" are few and far between. These pictures cover all major activities since our last post. Enjoy!

"Pap's" first meet with Noah!
Great "Silly" Aunt Kim and Great Uncle Joey!
Great "Grammy" can't let go! =)
