1st Year of Preschool!!

Can't believe how far a year can take us. How much can change in just a short year! This time last year we had a 3 month old and was preparing for his first big surgery he was going to have. Now, he is walking into the doors of a preschool with excitement at 14 months. A year ago he was learning to roll over and was content to lay on his activity mat and be carried around everywhere. Now, he is starting to talk, run, throw things, climb things, "try" to help with brushing his hair/teeth and "help" me with chores around the house.

Hangout sessions with daddy: Never forget this first outfit Chris put on Noah :)

There were LOTS of walks over the year. It always seemed to make him feel better!!

These are my two favorite pictures from this time last year. It was a time for healing for my sister and I love how it captures Noahs Great Grandmother in this pictures. Babies always love her!

There was also many visits to CHOA to get Noahs NAM fitted. It was a difficult time. Tightening it 6 times a day broke my heart but I know it was the best thing for him!

This time last year Noah had his first ever play date with Ella and Hollis. If my math is right, I am pretty sure Hollis was here and we did not know about her yet. Bet Noah did!

Back to Preschool:

While I use everyday as a teaching opportunities with him. I wanted him to experience learning with other children and get perspectives from another teacher. Also, Noah just really LOVES people and action. Always has. He could go on a marathon of no sleep if it involved having fun. Thats just his personality right now. So on his first day, of course he was not sad, he just wanted to get the day started. Bye mom! You'll me alright. ha

Backpack is a little heavy this year:

 This is on his second day. I just included it because its funny. I was bending down to take a picture of him and he was trying to copy me. He is eating his smoothie which he loves to have for breakfast. Convenient on busy mornings!
