Here is our campsite from behind.
Noah having his morning milk and banana. I said the word banana and he pronounced it exactly like I said it. As Noah called it, "nanana."

Andy and I walked the trail once over the weekend. Noah is riding in one of his birthday presents. He thinks it is pretty cool. He just sat in his chair, looked around, and chatted away as we walked.
Here is the happy boy at the beginning of our walk.
Before we were to the end of the trail, Noah had fallen asleep hunched over in his chair.

Noah and I spent a lot of time walking around, with him holding on to my hands because I wouldn't let him crawl around in the dirt and rocks. #1, I couldn't handle the dirt and #2, there were pieces of thorn trees all around our campsite with 1 inch thorns, I didn't want him to get punctured.Food has become quite an adventure at our house; from trying new things and then later seeing the results of the new things tried. Most, however, is MESSY! And Noah feeding himself with a fork is no exception. As you can see, he isn't terribly great with the fork, but everyone has to start somewhere. Ravioli and large chunks of fruit is all we have tried so far, but more will come as he learns to use the fork gracefully.
It definitely takes patience to sit at the highchair, and allow him to feed himself. It certainly would be faster if Andy or I fed him, but we can't feed him forever. He has to grow up sometime.
Instead of putting Noah in the backpack or letting him ride on my shoulders, I put Noah in the jogging stoller. Which I was sure was the dumbest thing I could have done. But I was wrong. This stroller is amazing. It drove through paths of the arboretum without any problems.
We stopped to play in the tulips. At least that is what I wanted Noah to do. He was more interested in the wood chips and dirt than the flowers. Typical boy!
We walked down to the ponds and checked out the different kinds of ducks.
Noah rode on grandma Paula's shoulders. When I put him on my shoulders, he reached down to get to his grandma.
It was a beautful night for a walk and we had a lot of fun. This is only the beginning of our outdoor adventures, now that spring is here.
He loved swimming in the warm water.
We had so much fun together!
Our first swim class was a success. Noah loved the water and had a TON of fun. After class was over, he fell asleep in the car on the way home and took a 3 1/2 hour nap, once we were home.
