leko's kitchen


leko absolutely loves being in the kitchen.  it's his room for sure.  he especially loves hanging out in the sink or next to the sink.  i swear he's part penguin!

technology wiz

this guy grabbed grandma's phone recently and started swiping her photos.  we were amazed that he knew how to do that.  he also opened her facebook app, and called daddy too! 

he's obsessed with phones lately!

5 months old!


this cutie is officially 5 months old as of saturday and he was full of smiles on his little milestone mat as i snapped a few pictures of him on saturday night in his cute noah's ark outfit!

it's hard to believe that this outfit is 35 years old because it was my brother's when he was a baby.  i'm so glad my mom saved it!

nosey

earlier in january, we were in the living room taking down our christmas tree and christmas decorations.  noah had fallen asleep on my lap, so we transferred him to a cozy nest on the couch so that he was right next to us as we were working in the living room.  he slept there for a good bit and then woke up very nosy as to what we were doing.  those little eyes peering at us upside down were too cute!

back to sleep on mama after . . .

mail!


noah was extremely excited to get mail from grandma recently!  he was very intrigued to open the envelope and read the card and the enclosed recipes that she sent him.  it was too funny watching him with his little mail!

cuteness

these photos have been sitting in my draft blog posts for such a long time so i have to share them . . . 

the faces this guy makes on the changing table are hysterical.  he has also been loving playing with his panda bear friend after diaper changes too.  such cuteness!

too much playing wears him out though!

some other birthday celebration photos . . .


last thursday, the day before my birthday, was unseasonably warm.  it was 55 degrees outside which never happens in january!  we bundled up and headed outside for a family walk around the neighborhood.  it was glorious!!!

then for dinner we went to red robin to get my free birthday veggie burger through the rewards program.  it was noah's first time in a restaurant and he did great.  i certainly wouldn't rush to take him into a restaurant again any time soon.  we lucked out that we had the place to ourselves and no one else was there since it was an odd time on a weekday.  

it was a nice thursday!

festival of lights


we closed out december by taking a trip to see the festival of lights at stonehedge golf course the day before new year's eve.

we've heard about this display for years, but never got around to seeing it until this year.  we piled in the car and drove through millions of incredible lights.  noah was absolutely in awe and loved it!  at the end we were able to get out of the car to snap some photos.  such a neat experience!
