Choo-choo!

Noah and Owen had another playdate this weekend.  Owen got to come over and try out Noah's train.  Noah wanted to chase the train around and play with it too.  They eventually went back to playing with toys and playing in the tube. 
Noah also has his 4th tooth coming through!

Owen got to ride the train around

Noah liked to push the train around the track when Owen took a break with his Dad

Then they worked on knocking the train off the tracks.

Jess was feeding Owen, and Noah didn't want to be left out :)

Tube Time

Noah had another playdate with Owen this week.  This time they went sledding and played in a tube that basically looks like an oversized cat tube....but they both had a good time.  They crawled around, made some noise...took a break, and went back to it.  By the end of the night they were tired.
Noah didn't so much care for the sledding.  He cried when the sled would stop moving.  He just kind of looked at us like we were annoying him.

"Hello my friend"  they missed each other

Owen enjoyed the tube.

Noah's 1st Christmas!

We decided to celebrate our Christmas with Noah the day before since we wouldn't be home on Christmas.  I think he finally started to realize that under that shiny wrapping paper, that there was something he would rather like!  His favorite present so far was a giant tube that he could crawl through.
He also decided to get some teeth!  His first tooth was discovered on the Winter Solstice.  Since then, we have discovered 2 more trying to come through.  needless to say he has been a little fussier than normal....but still pretty good.  He's always a happy little guy.
Noah got all sorts of goodies for Christmas,  a train to ride, a wagon, an Elmo toy shelf,  an Elmo jacket, a puzzle with really big handles, and a little tool bench.....and way too much more to mention.
We also took him outside to sled....he didn't seem to care too much about it one way or the other.  The first time I set him in the snow, he started to cry.  The second time he went to crawl through it and got stuck.  He stuck his face in the snow and liked it and then stuck his mouth back in the snow to try to eat more.  Then he realized he couldn't really move that well and got a little mad.

he really like this...

the tube he so much loves
