Pumpkin Farm






Hi Noah,


I'm now allowed to do one outing a day, so last Sunday we went to Rombach Pumpkin Farm with Gramma Mary and Daddy. It was such a beautiful day and so fun to get out with you! You were a little clingy to Daddy at first, but once you rode the pony (Fudge was his name) you seemed to be ready to be more independent. You loved climbing on the big tractor, rolling the pumpkins around, and running around in the wooden fort.


Next year you'll have a brother to explore the pumpkin farm with! You'll have to show him the ropes!


Love you,

Mommy

Busy Busy!


Dear Noah,

You've been a busy boy this past month while I've been on bedrest keeping Max healthy! You get to spend every Monday with Gramma Mary, every Tuesday and Friday you get to go to Mom's Day Out and then spend the afternoon with Daddy, every Wednesday you go to Karissa's and spend the whole day with Andrew, Marrissa, and Madison (your new buds) and her cat Gator, and on Thursdays we hang out with Ava, Baby Lila, and Sarah (either here or at their house).



We've been getting fantastic reports from Karissa and your teachers (Shannon and Edna). They write us little notes everyday and they're so impressed with how you can count (1-5), you know your colors, and are starting to chime in when they sing the ABC's. They said that you mention Baby Max a lot and have a big smile on your face when you do. You are working on sharing and taking turns with your friends. We've had to remind you that your hands need to be nice (you like to swat at things and me and Daddy).




You and Gramma have lots of fun when she comes...you play with pumpkins, go to the park, and play with special toys she brings.

Physically, you've grown a lot too. You climb on evrything and run everywhere. You can now jump up and get both feet off the ground.




You are talking all the time...you have gotten good at using 2 word combinations and sometimes surprise us with 3-4 word sentences! It's so fun to listen to you and communicate with you! Your new favorite animals are the guinea pig and peacock...you ask to see them in the books we have. What big words you use!

Two more weeks and mommy will be off of bedrest...then, either Max will be born, or we'll have a few weeks to hang out just you and me...whatever happens, we're in for some fun here shortly!

Love you,
Mommy
