Mini Doug

Noah is definitely a "Daddy's Boy"! He adores Doug! I sometimes have to be careful not to say "Daddy" during the day because it makes Noah think that Daddy is coming home. He will sometimes get really upset once he realizes that Daddy isn't coming home for a while. What can I say? He LOVES his Daddy!!

Today, Noah was being very quiet, so I looked around the corner and found him with Doug's hat on and he was wearing Doug's shoes. Then he started to say "Daddy" over and over again. I think that it is adorable that he loves Doug as much as he does. He is so sweet!

Making Banana Bread with Mama

Noah helped me make some Banana Bread tonight, his favorite, and he was such a great little helper. He loves to watch me mix everything together while he sits in his highchair. While it was baking, he would go and sit right in front of the oven and watch it. As soon as the timer went off he did something that he has never done before. He went over and got out the oven mit, put it on his hand, and stood right in front of the oven ready to take it out! He is so observant! He knows that he can't be anywhere near the oven when I open it, so he gave me his oven mit so that I could get it out. I just had to share these pictures :).

Fall Crafts

I wanted to share the crafts that I made at my class this week. I don't have any decorations for our house for the Fall season, so I made two things at this class.

Happy Halloween

I hope that everyone had a Happy Halloween! We started our day off by visiting Doug at work. Everyone in Doug's office thought that Noah was so cute in his Halloween costume. Everyone gave Noah candy, which he loved, although Daddy kept most of the candy for himself :). After going to lunch with Doug, Noah and I went to my parent's house for the afternoon. I took a ton of pictures of Noah in their backyard and Noah played in the leaves. He had so much fun! Then we went to my Grandma and Grandpa Jentzsch's house to visit. Brittany, my cousin, and her little girl, McKenzie, were there too, so we were able to visit with them for a while. We ended the evening by going to Doug's parent's house for some Homemade Chili (yum!) and then we just spent the night hanging out with our family. We had a wonderful day and we look forward to next year when we will have another kiddie to dress up :).

Here are some pictures of Noah in his costume. There is also a side shot of me that shows my little baby bump :).

Gardner Village and a Halloween/Birthday Party

Yesterday we went to Gardner Village with Doug's family. I love all of the little shops there and it is so much fun to walk around, especially at Halloween when there are witches roaming the paths. I especially enjoyed the Carmeled Apple from the candy store :).

Here is a family picture and a picture of the cousins.

Afterwards, we all went to Andrea's house for a Halloween Party and to celebrate Karin's Birthday. I think the best part of the party was when Steffanie, Doug's sister, showed us her Halloween costume. She is Mrs. Incredible to go along with her little boy Jacob. How cute is this?!?!
Here is a cute picture that I took of Connor. He is getting so big!

Good food, good company, what more could you ask for? It was a wonderful day :).

Where is Noah?

I was doing laundry today, and after I put a load in I came out and couldn’t find Noah anywhere. I could hear him giggling, but I had no idea where he was! I started calling his name, but I still couldn’t find him! Right before I started to panic, I looked over at the drying rack that was covered with clothes and saw Noah poking his head out! He was laughing so hard because he knew that he had found the perfect hiding place. I hope that this isn’t the start of a daily hide-and-go-seek game! I just had to take some pictures of him hiding…
