Tailgatin' Texas Style

Noah and Mama at the tailgate!












Go Horns! Granny and Noah!











Daddy was there, too!



















And Ellen! Noah is really starting to look thrilled at this point...








Noah went to his first tailgate last weekend - in Texas, where else!? Not only did Granny and Poppy give us their fabulous tickets for the game, but they took Noah home with them after we all hit the tailgate. It was a nice treat for Bill and me, AND, from what we heard, Noah had a G-R-E-A-T time playing with Granny and Poppy. He stayed up late laughing and playing, but was sound asleep when Mommy and Daddy got home. And the Horns won!

20 lbs!

My baby had his flu booster this afternoon, and so I had him weighed at his pediatrician's office.

20 lbs, 11 oz!

He did have on a shirt and diaper, so subtract few ounces ... but still!? 20 pounds!? What a big boy!

We're heading to Austin tomorrow afternoon (yay!!!) so we'll be sure to have fun photos and stories after Thanksgiving!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

Lots of snow in our yard!




























Headed out for a chilly walk


















The view "inside" the stroller!












Eskimo baby...













A family shot. Note that this is only 2.5 hours later than the photos above!









It snowed!

Snow was lightly falling when we went to bed Saturday night, and we woke up to snow on Sunday morning! We had a pretty good amount at our house - although by the afternoon the sun had melted most of it. It was gorgeous though - a perfect winter day.

Noah didn't really seem to notice the snow - aside from the fact that he was bundled up like an Eskimo for our walk!

We can't wait for it to snow again...

New photos

Noah smiling as we entered the Albuquerque Aquarium










I love this face he makes. That is a true Noah face!











Checking out the fish! (He seems a tad more interested in his own toy...)










Just my big blonde boy!

Here's that report I've been looking for!











Please hold all my calls while I review this...



























Please, have a seat at my desk!


























This had better be the Fed Ex I've been expecting!

Emily Post would not be smiling...

Yes, this bowl IS full of food... correction, WAS full of food...










What, Mama??


























































Founding member of the Clean Face Club...










I don't think Ms. Post would approve of my son's dining etiquette!

As you can see, not many sweet potatoes ended up in his mouth! He is in a "feed myself" phase... the books say to encourage it...

Not sure if it's the sense of accomplishment or just the big ol' mess that he likes best!

A man on the move!

Most of my devoted followers haven't seen Noah crawl -- here he is, on the move!

Jump!

I've always meant to post a video of Noah jumping in this... I didn't quite capture him "going crazy"... but he's still having fun, and perhaps working out those slim legs of his!

Trick or Treat!

The cutest Dorothy ever

































Now you can see Darren... his eyes a glow...





































































His first "treat" - who knew lollipops tasted so great with the paper on!

























Noah's loot! Guess who helped him eat it...
