Fun with Noahman!

On Friday, Julia and I spent the day grocery shopping for two nights of entertaining/dinners over the weekend at our house. On Friday evening, our friend, Andy (the doctor I used to work with at the U) came over for some grilled ribs, grilled veggies, corn muffins and a brownie dessert.

On Saturday, our friends Jenny and Eric and their son Noah babysat Julia for a few hours (more than we expected) to test drive some vehicles. We drove a Nissan Rogue and Toyota Rav4. Both vehicles have their pros and cons and we haven't made a decision yet about which one we want. We are leaning slightly more towards the Rogue, but that could change within the next hour. When we got home, Julia was all smiles and had a great time with Jenny, Eric and Noahman (his daddy's nickname for him). Noah is 6 months old and it is so fun to watch him and Julia interact. Noah was showing off by cooing and babbling and smiling while Julia showed Noah how to jump in her Baby Einstein exersaucer. Jenny said Julia was very well behaved, but did steal toys from Noah's hands when he picked them up. Julia seems to do that to everyone and Noah is working on his reflexes and reactions. I am sure Noah will learn and just steal toys back from her when he is a little older. It was so fun to see Noah and how he is developing and remembering that Julia just went through what he was currently learning to do. What a difference 2 months makes in babies! Noah is a cutie pie though and his big smile and bright blue eyes definitely melt the heart.

On Sunday, we ran some errands and just kind of vegged out at home. We all took naps in the afternoon and then Julia and I went for a nice long walk to the park by our house. We swung on he swings and also watched some older boys playing some odd game where they hit each other with a tennis ball while running around on the jungle gym and other playground equipment. Julia was greatly intrigued by their game and shenanigans that we could have sat there for hours watching.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to share for this post. I am sure there will be some next weekend when we celebrate Mike's first Father's Day!
