Another page in the baby book








Noah (Pre-Haircut at Grandpa & Grandma Crisp's house)








Noah got to experience the milestone to mark his toddlerhood yesterday.



Secured in his high-chair, he gets ready to have his hair cut.






That's right - his first hair cut. His curly locks are gone and the haircuts have begun. You can see from the pictures it was not the most pleasant thing he has ever experienced, however the sucker mommy let him have after was well worth it so say the slobbers.

Madison even got in on the fun. Some of these pictures were taken by her. She talked to me about Noah this morning. She said, "Momma, I don't think Noah really liked getting his haircut too much. He just cried and cried." Madison is not a big fan of hair care either so I said to her that she usually cries to and she said, "Well, that's true."

So, here's to another page in the baby book!






The hair cutting begins.
















For safety we switch to the clippers since Noah wrestled so much.















Finished version of the haircut.
















The sucker helped him forget all about the bad haircut.
















Our photographer finally put the camera down so that we could take a picture of our her. (she is doing one of her patented poses)










Status report on the front teeth: Noah is still working on them. You can feel them if he will let you touch, but they are not poking all the way through yet.

Noah's 1st Birthday


Here are some pictures from Noah's 1st Birthday Party. Better late than never.




His birthday was actually on Friday September 22 but thanks to rain we pushed the party back to Sunday the 24th.









Lots of toys and clothes to add to our collection.













Madison, Julieanne and Brady showing off their gifts.












Noah test drives his "Mater" Tow Truck from the movie "Cars".












Madison takes a whack at the PiƱata! That thing wouldn't break for anything.

What a difference a weekend can make.

Friday:We had Noah's annual check in at Riley. We were expecting a surgery plan of action during this visit and actually received the news that our little guy has adapted so well to life with a pinky and a thumb that the plan is to now wait another year until the tendons are larger so that we can better have picture of whether or not we can get his pinky bending.

Saturday: Noah runs a fever and has a runny nose. I am pretty sure this is the result of cutting teeth. The grumpiness is just a given here but the good news is that he will surely have his two front teeth for Christmas this year.

By Monday Noah is blessed with a rash on his hands, arms, legs, and the ever popular diaper area. The question of the hour was, "Do you think he has chickenpoxs?" Actually, no. The doctor takes one look and says this is a beautiful case of Hand, Foot, Mouth disease. Takes 5-7 days to get over it but the worse thing is that his mouth is filled with sores. You know how it feels to have one? He has a good half dozen. Yuck!

Hoping to see a little bit of normal soon!
