this guy really loves to cuddle. i snapped this photo of him recently right as he was about to fall asleep. he's so nosey that he was keeping those eyes open to see what was happening around him even though he really wanted to snooze! very cute.
have a great weekend!
love, laurie
i walked in the bedroom a few nights ago to find these bright eyes starring at me as i entered the room.
later in the evening ryan was feeding noah a bottle and we couldn't believe that noah was holding onto the bottle himself! (of course ryan had to put his hands right back on the bottle to help noah, but he sure was trying to do it by himself!)
noah was snoozing on me a few weeks ago and i snapped this picture. it soon became my parents favorite photo of noah and they even made it their desktop background wallpaper! he looks like a little model posing!

noah sleeps in a bassinet in our room. sometimes in the morning or at night before bedtime we bring noah to our bed for cuddles. he loves being in the "big bed" with mom, dad, and brother leko!

the day before noah was born, my mom invited us out for breakfast at one of our favorite breakfast spots. it had been ages since we had been out for breakfast, so that was a nice surprise. ryan and i shared a delicious strawberry dutch baby pancake and a breakfast burrito. we were stuffed and it was very yummy!
my mom joked that it was good that we went out because it might be our last chance to get breakfast like that, and she was right because baby boy ending up coming the next day!
i can’t believe that today is september 21st and that it has been one month since i gave birth to our baby boy on august 21st!
oh my goodness gracious, where did the time go? the past month has seriously been a time warp.
i snapped these photos of noah late on sunday night before bed when he turned 4 weeks old. he somewhat cooperated for the first few photos and lost it by the end!
love, laurie
on saturday afternoon, we took a trip to ritter's cider mill with my parents. we love visiting ritter's each year, but didn’t get to go last year.
we walked though the corn maze, visitied the farm animals, and picked out some apples, cider, and doughnuts to take home.
these two were so cute lounging in bed together, i couldn’t resist snapping a picture! leko has been a trooper dealing with adjusting to having baby brother home.
love, laurie
one of ryan's classes that he teaches this semester is called "stagecraft" which is a basic intro class to technical theatre for the freshman. the other day he was leaving for work in the morning and the lesson that he was going to be teaching his students that day was all about theatre tools.
we couldn't resist dressing noah in his carhartt tools onesie in honor of daddy's class that day. i snapped a quick picture of these two before ryan went to work. good thing i did, because seconds later noah peed all over the onesie and needed a costume change!
love, laurie
this month our furry baby boy turns 11 years old! i like to reminisce back to when we first brought leko home and how tiny he was back then.
it's so hard to believe that he's 11 now. i'm really not sure where the time went.

we love him so very much and will be spoiling him extra all month long with lots of kisses, cuddles, and of course tuna!
love, laurie
on saturday night we had an abba tribute band at our theatre to kick off the fall season. i'm a big abba fan, and it was noah's first show outside my belly!
the show was great and the audience loved it! you can see a few more photos from the show here.
love, laurie
