Noah's first Thanksgiving!

While Thanksgiving is always a special time, it was truly a special time as we celebrated our first big holiday with our baby boy! Noah had a very busy day! He began his day by running around doing errands. He took a short nap and off we went to see family! We were very glad to be able to stay in the area....so daddy didn't have to drive. First we went to spend time with Omar's famiiy and then we headed to the Lopez' for some turkey....gobble gobble! Noah had his first turkey and stuffing. He liked it. In the end, it didn't matter where we were, the most important thing was seeing Noah so happy all day long. We do thank both of our families for the great food and the time spent together.

I see Elmo!

New pictures!

Okay....lots of new pictures! Momma finally uploaded pictures since last week. Our Noah is doing well. Super active, eating a lot more and drooling a lot more too! He has at least one more tooth coming through that we can see, poor baby. Noah saw his abuelitos over the weekend, and hung out at the downtown REI store. We were window shopping but will go back there on Friday! Both daddy and Noah enjoy REI!

Our baby will be having his first Thanksgiving....we are really excited! If we don't post anything before then, we hope everyone is able to take a break away from everything and thank your loved ones and close friends. I know I am thankful for a loving and supportive husband and my baby boy...who just amazes me everyday! Noah is truly an angel and we are both so grateful we were blessed with him.


Silly! It's all new to him!
Still working! Hanging out at REI

9 month checkup!

On Friday, Noah went in for his nine month checkup. The doctor says he looks very active, very well developed, and very smart! He now weighs about 24 lbs., and grew 3 whole inches since his last visit! He is now 30 inches! He does seem so much taller, and we can tell because he can reach so much more! Noah is still in 95+ percentile, and fell just on the border of the 90 percentile for his weight, but is still very healthy. The doctor says his weight is fine since he is so active now. All good news to mommy and daddy! Oh and sadly he had to get the flu shot and another routine one, but he was so brave! We are so proud of our angel.


So stylish! DSCN8260

9 Months!

Momma is still in denial that her little baby is getting bigger! It's gone by WAY too fast! He is picking up his own food now and actually eating it instead of smashing it in his hand and dropping it, as he was doing a few weeks ago. He is really good at drinking out of his sippy cup. He makes mommy and daddy laugh so much when he squints...we say ojitios - and he will squint, it's the cutest thing. Then he gives his parents so many kisses, we love our baby boy so much.

Look through the album to find almost two weeks of new pictures! Sorry for not posting anything! It took a bit to settle back home. Ohhh...how we missed home! Sending our hello's to family and friends, keep leaving your comments, we like to read them. Gracias!

I'm 9 months! He likes the complex toys.

Our trip to Oregon...

Last Friday we took our first family road trip and first trip ever! Yeah I know it only took nine months you must be saying. We have gone places...but not as far as Lincoln City, Oregon (on the 101 coast). We must say that our baby did so well! He was an angel and a big boy in the car seat. He only got a bit frustrated at the end, reaching the resort only because it was pitch dark outside. He was so happy to get to the room...and uhhmm remodel!

We did get to check out a few shops, but it was just too windy to get Noah outside and risk him getting a bad cold! Momma took most of the pictures, recorded some on the camcorder, while baby did the following - slept. Oh and daddy drove of course! We picked some new toys for Noah, but he won't get them until Christmas...but we didn't have to pay taxes - yippie! We were glad to be home safe with our little angel.

Our big boy! This smiles gets him out of trouble.
Our last stop before the resort. Our little family!
Baby slept in car. Nice shot on our short stop.

Happy Halloween!

For Halloween we planned to take Noah to our local mall and hopefully meet up with abuelito Lopez'. We went to trick or treat at the mall but grandparents couldn't make it. We did get a lot of candy....I mean Noah got a lot of candy and we were able to see his grandparents later that evening. Here are some pictures from Halloween Eve (Noah and daddy carving Noah's pumpkin) and Halloween day. Hope everyone had a great day!

He had this shirt under his costume. He enjoyed the top of the pumpkin.
