Easter, Prior to Easter and This week

So, we have been slacking on our updates, but we are here now, so that's all that matters. Right? Right? :)
Prior to Easter we went down to the bay area to meet with Jesse's school director and then we stayed with my aunt and uncle. We spent one day and visited Stanford campus and hospital so that we could site-see and Jes could get to see some cool equipment. A quick trip, but we do have some pictures. (For those that have never been to the Stanford campus, it's beautiful, and the church.... WOW! It's all mosaic tile on the outside. It was closed, so we couldn't see the inside which was a total disappointment).

Picking lemons with Uncle Bob

Looking at something that is VERY interesting outside. :)

The Church




We took Noah to the egg hunt at the park this year. LOTS of little kiddos, and he pretty much just stared and watched all the other little kids. He did manage to get a few eggs and put them in his bucket though. We also managed to get him to sit with the Easter bunny. At first he had a look of terror in his face, then after the bunny patted his leg, he actually seemed interested and mildly amused with her. :)
Egg hunting







These last pictures are randoms of Noah. His new favorite thing (well, the past few weeks) is just books, books, and more books! He will go in his room and spend hours just looking through books, pulling them out of the basket, pointing at more on the shelf, and giving them to us to read to him or to point at things in. He loves playing with his cars too! And he is into hats... sometimes I come home and he has hats on in the house, just because. Mostly beanie type hats, some of Dad's even that are way too big. :)


(a picture Jes took that I thought was cool)

I gave him a whisk to play with while I was busy in the kitchen, he soon learned that it's much more fun to bang on the floor (and drive Dad nuts) than to stir something in a bowl.




The mess that he creates



And we won't tell Noah that as a little guy we played dress up with his hair... or that Auntie Coalie did. (notice the pony tail)

20 weeks and growing

Just a few belly shots.... the first two are on the 20 weeks mark, the next two are actually from today. By next month, I'm thinking there will be big changes! Because I feel the stretching going on and I'm sore!









And of course a random shot of Noah... because I know that's what you are all checking for. :) We were at Grandma and Grandpa's and since Mom and Grandma had bowls on their head, we thought Noah should too. He wasn't quite as amused when the bowl sat his HIS little head.

Noah at the park

Since we've been blessed with some spring like weather Jesse has been taking Noah to the park at least a few times a week. Noah loves to watch the kids, go down the slide (video coming next week) and walk the nature trails with dad. No good action shots of him because he's too quick!

So happy to be outside


Heaven sent


Always so happy!


And what a rugged little boy we have already!

New Noah Pictures

He loves to just drag random things out and around the house. The other pictures are from his day at Auntie Coalie's with Dad and Grandma.







Ultrasound Picture

The best picture we got.... the only one that resembles a baby. :)

It's A......




In case this isn't jumping out at you as great news, I mean, it's a cupcake, right? The color of the sprinkles indicate what the ultrasound tech THINKS our newest edition is. :) He didn't give us a high percentage, but thought he saw the "three lines" and said he'd be surprised if the baby didn't come out that way.

He said the baby looks perfect, moving all over the place. He said by my measurements he's thinking my due date would be 8/17, which is a bit off from my 8/9, but that doesn't concern me at all. He said all the measurements were consistant and we are good to go!

Just some snapshots

We haven't been doing anything too exciting, Noah still isn't the best sleeper, and then with the time change.... well, it makes for some pretty tired parents and baby. So, just a few snapshots of our little monkey.
We took him to the football field on Sunday with Teaspoon and let them both just walk around in the fresh air. I think we ALL needed it.

Teaspoon... SUPER DOG! I love that Jesse captured this picture of her. :)




He thinks whenever he gets stuck or falls, that if he lifts his leg, he'll get down. :) He needed Mom's help with this one

Isn't he the most gorgeous little boy? I'm so in love




And what is a post without messy food pictures? His new thing is that he hates being fed. So it's finger foods, OR, as I do, give him his own spoon to eat with while I shove food in his mouth too. :) Works like a charm... besides the mess. But what is dinner without a little mess?








On the baby front.... I'm starting to feel light kicks throughout the day, but nothing too strong yet. AND... our ultrasound is next Monday. Less than a week away! I can't wait!
Belly pictures to come in two more weeks.
