Noah loves to ride on Daddy’s back.  Once he gets started, there’s no stopping him!

 

Lots of things happen in the fall – leaves change color, the weather gets cooler, people go crazy for football, and a new year of Mommy and Me starts!!  Noah has missed the first couple weeks of Mommy and Me, but he was very excited to go on Monday and see all of his neighborhood friends.  We learned all about the letter “C”. 

  Noah sat in the window first and then had some followers when they saw he had goldfish crackers.

 

Noah has bad manners sometimes – sorry Mary Katherine!

Noah loves to play in the bathroom.  It makes matters worse that we keep doors closed to keep him out, so when he is able to sneak in…T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!

 

    Busted!

 

 

 

Noah has 2 new tricks – one is undressing (or partially undressing) himself.  The other is saying “uh oh” when something doesn’t go right.  On this day, Noah had already partially taken off his tank top before his Aunt Connie and I started instigating to try to get him to perform for the camera.  It was late afternoon, right before dinner, and so Noah was especially cranky…determined, too!

 

Grandma Nancy was here visiting for 3 weeks after the boys were born to help us out and take care of Noah, and what a huge help she was!!  Little boys love to play outside and can get cabin fever when stuck inside too long, and it didn’t take her long at all to come up with RULE #1 in Noah World – “When in doubt, take him out!”  I think they both had a great time.  We miss you Grandma Nancy!

Noah likes to take the stroller for a walk (Noah pushes the stroller)

 

 

 

 

A couple weeks ago, Noah’s school had a PJ day.  Noah was very confused about why he was wearing pajamas PLUS sneakers!

   Noah likes to show off when we come to pick him up.

 

“This is my kitchen”

 

I love my Daddy!

On Wednesday afternoon, August 26th, while I was on hospital bed rest, my water broke and I went into pre-term labor at 25 weeks and 3 days.  A short time later, by emergency C-Section, Wyatt Andrew and Jackson Christopher were welcomed into this world.  Wyatt weighs 1 lb. 8 oz. and was born at 5:12 pm.  Jackson (Jack) weighs 2 lb. and was born at 5:14 pm.  They are both in the Neonatal ICU and are stable on ventilators.  We are overjoyed by our blessings, and we are prayerful that the boys continue to fight and grow until it is time for them to join us at home.  Until then, Noah is being groomed for the “big brother” role – we think he’s going to be great!  Here are some of the first pictures of the newest Fons boys:
