Little Monkeys

I thought these little monkey faces would be perfect for Noah's birthday. He's pretty much a monkey himself. I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out. They were pretty tasty too, at least the day of the party, the cookies and cereal got soggy pretty quickly afterward.

This was my fun, creative endeavor for September. What's up next?

Happy Birthday Noah!

Noah has a message that he wanted me to give you all about his upcoming birthday:

My Birthday Wishlist
Here are a few of the things that I want for my birthday...

a splatmat - I really want to control my own food and sometimes that means watching how it lands on the floor when I drop it over the edge. It would be really cool to have a target to practice hitting. Besides, messes cause mom and dad stress, so maybe that would help them to chill out.

slippers - I expect that dad won't turn the heat on until it is plenty cool, so I need something warm and fuzzy for my feet.

plug covers - I'm starting to get curious about those little holes in the wall and I keep getting told NO, so let's just cover them up and not worry about it.

cups - I only have 3 right now, one for water, one for juice, and one for milk. What if one of them is dirty or if I want to have one for travel... When my friend Malachi was over last weekend, his cup looked really cool and I tried to take it away, but mom kept giving it back to him, she's no help.

toys, lots of toys - I really like it if they make sounds when I shake them or have parts that spin or spring. The ones I have are getting pretty boring, so new ones would sure be fun.

more time outside - I really like to taste the leaves and rocks and chase the squirrels and rabbits. Please just take me out there and let me get dirty!!

I realize I'm giving you this message pretty late, so you might already have great gifts planned for me. I'm sure I will love them, especially the packaging that they come in. I hear that it will be colorful and crinkly and I can tear it. Ooh and boxes, I hope I get some boxes!

I'll see you soon for the big party!!

Going to be a walker




This is Noah's favorite toy right now. He runs that little thing all over the house. He can't steer it yet, and he's pretty tippy, so we follow closely and catch him or turn him when needed. I love his facial expressions, you can tell he's intense!

Purple Cauliflower



This stir-fry looked so good! We got a purple cauliflower in our veggie box so we chopped it up with the fresh broccoli, summer squash, added a couple of carrots and chicken, and served it over a bed of rice. It was great! So colorful!

Playing in the yard
















These are my "Noah as baby cover model" photos. He wasn't in the best mood that morning, but the coloring and lighting are right on!
