We survived camping

Ever been to Los Banos, California?

We have!

A few weeks ago we headed south for Steve & Amie's wedding. 45 minutes in, Noah threw up EVERYWHERE. Let's just say a pleasant aroma permeated the car for the rest of the trip.

45 minutes later, we got a flat tire. And that is how we ended up in Los Banos - a nice sleepy town with many tire shops, but only one with a tire that fit our car.

Did I mention it was hot?

We let naked Noah loose in the trunk while waiting.

The rest of the trip fared better.

Congrats Steve & Amie!

Renaissance man

Have we mentioned Noah's walking?! It happened so quickly we haven't had time to document it. One day he was crawling, the next day he took 4 steps.

I love this video because you can see his great grandmother (the white pants) egging him on...




Not completely steady yet and he's already trying to add his own flair...

Kicking a ball


With puzzles in hand


He is also going through some kind of renaissance period. Within 4 days, he learned to drink from a straw, point to what he wanted, copy my hand gesture for "more", and stack his legos.

I'm sure by next week he'll solve the world's energy crisis and save the planet.

Diaper flinging

Terah caught this great shot of diapers flying mid-air, a common occurrence around here.

Please also note the menagerie of pillowpets in the background. Know what they are? I didn't, but we now own three (long story).

Thanks Grandma Chan for the outfit!
