Noah's obsession with water continues...

now we just added sand. We went to Hilton Head last week. It was Noah's first time to see the ocean, and to say that he liked it would be the understatement of the year. I'm putting all of the pictures from Noah's 1st trip to the ocean in the slide show because it would take me another day or so to go through them and get it down to 2 or 3 pictures to post.

The day Chris almost renounced his "Northern-ness"

For my Birthday, Chris took me to Savannah for a night. It was great! Noah stayed with his Nana and Grandpa in the condo at Hilton Head. I love that little boy, but it was definitely nice to have the time away. We stayed in the Marriott on the River, which was great. Wednesday afternoon Chris and I walked by the shops on the water and that night Chris treated me to a nice dinner on the river. On Thursday we went to Lady and Son's Restaurant for lunch. It was FANTASTIC! Chris and I got the all-you-can-eat buffet, and OH MY GOODNESS. Each thing that we tried, Chris said "it couldn't be as good as ____" but of course it was even better. Yummmmm! We both ate until we could eat no more. I even had 2 servings of collard greens. (and until last Thursday, I hated collard greens...)

About the new shoes...

Since we had some comments about the shoes, I thought I would give a status report. Noah still loves his new shoes. He has pretty chubby feet, and these shoes are the first pair that he doesn't scream when I put them on him. They actually fit him and with the velcro can be easily adjusted. We have tries a few of the slip on soft leather shoes that I think are cute, but they are so hard to get on Noah's little chubby feet, that I've pretty much quit trying for a while. I've heard that baby's feet flatten a little once they start walking, but we'll see. He is very close to walking, and with the weather turning a little cooler barefoot isn't really an option anymore, and he doesn't like to wear socks because he slips around. Can you tell Noah and I both love the shoes? The only problem is that they only go up to the 24 month size as far as I can tell. Maybe a few of the styles have a larger size, but I'm not sure. Luckily, Noah's feet are pretty small, so we should be good for a bit longer.

I put a link to the website where we got them in the "New Shoes" post.

Picking out the perfect pumpkin

Noah and I went to Yahoo Farms today with a few friends. The weather wasn't great, but the kids didn't seem to care. It was a cute little farm with some animals that we could look at and great pumpkins. The prices of their pumpkins were fantastic. (even their HUGE ones) Here are some pictures of our adventure.

Here are some pictures of Noah and the girls (Allison and Emma) They loved the turkeys and the chickens. The owner said that we needed to be very careful around the turkeys...something about "they like to peck at fingers."

Noah was trying to find the perfect pumpkin. I'll post a picture of him with his prized pumpkin after we decorate it. Sorry about the lighting; we were in the barn looking at those pumpkins because it was drizzling a little outside.

New Shoes

Noah just got a pair of new shoes. Too cute! He actually kept them on most of the day. Here is the website where we ordered them from. Once he starts walking, I'll let you know how wonderful they are. For now, they're just plain cute!
