Updates Galore!

Here's a whole bunch of exciting news!

-Noah got a promotion! HURRAY! With less than 4 months in at the company he has already shown them just how valuable he is! I am so proud of him!

-Alistair took his 1st STEP! Ya, well, maybe it was only 1 step, but it's exciting nonetheless.

-No more baby food......EVER! He eats anything and EVERYTHING! In fact, he had his first Japanese meal Saturday night! While Daddy had sushi, Alistair and I shared Edamame (soy beans), Hibachi Chicken and stirfry veggies! Now, if only we could potty train! hmmmmm....

-THE LIVING ROOM IS DONE!!! (Well, almost. We still have to do the molding)


Keeping Alistair occupied so Daddy could work on the floor:


The hall was done and it became Alistair's runway:


Or should we say "crawlway"


Over half way there and we just HAD to move the TV in:


ALMOST DONE!


And so excited he could beat a dog (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA)


Saturday morning and there was only 1 very complicated strip of floor to lay:


Saturday Morning cartoons with my bubs (check out his shirt, Jan):


We wired up the stereo speakers and moved the couch in Saturday night!


Alistair LOVES BLTs (with tomatoes from OUR garden!)


It was such a big weekend, Alistair and I slept in a little on Monday:


Eating breakfast AT the highchair, not IN it:


Watching "Baby Einstein: Baby Noah" DVD with "Bob," his Bar-Ba-Loot (without whom Alsitair wouldn't even leave his crib in the mornings):


He likes to sit IN things. This one happens to be the bed of his dump truck:
