Noah's Mobile

I thought that the crawling stage will last longer than 2 weeks...Well Noah is no longer satisfied by crawling and now he is desperately wanting to walk! He is ALL over the place, trying to pull himself to a standing position and move from one place to another in the speed of light. He is quite an explorer! Last weekend we decided to get Noah a walker so he can practice keeping the balance. Obviously he has still much to learn cause he has just turned 8 months. Nevertheless, it is hilarious but nerve wracking to watch him overcome so many obstacles on his way. His legs and feet are soo disproportionately small compared with his body and head.. I have no clue how he will carry all his weight :)))
Happy go lucky! Noah in his new mobile.
Proud Noah waiting for some claps for his standing achievement.

The Music Class

Couple of weeks ago I signed Noah for his first music class. The Music Class is the winner of Nickelodeon's 2008 ParentsConnect.com -Parents' award for artsy classes! Today me and Noah attended his second music session. What a great fun we had! Noah really enjoys seeing other kids, especially when the activity includes singing and dancing. I have noticed that at only one month of age Noah seemed to show a great deal of interest in music. He already has his favorite bands such as: The Wiggles :)) His also has some favorite songs including: "hot potato", "fruit salad" or "splish splash Elmo took a little bath". I have also quicly realized that Noah enjoys listening to the classical music. I try to expose him to Mozart, Tchaikovsky and Bach as much as possible but he adores twirling and dancing to the beat of any type of music. I really think he has a genuine interest in music. I believe that this is one of the traits that he has inherited from his musical daddy :)) Anyhow, i really hope that his appreciation for music, especially for the good kind continues and grows, as does my little boy. Here is one of the videos I took during today's music class.

Father's Day weekend

This was a very hot father's day weekend but still a fun one even though on Saturday morning we found out that our beloved lab- Lilly has a tumor. At this point we don't know whether it is the malignant type or benign . Either way, Lilly will have to undergo the surgery this coming Thursday so we hope and pray that after the surgery, she will be okay. Anyways, we started our weekend by taking our pooches to Chattahoochee river where we walked 3.8 mile trail while the doggies swam and ran without their leashes on. Then on Sunday I surprised Paul for his father's day and took him t0 Wolf Mountain Vineyards in North Georgia for vine tasting and a nice brunch with our close friends. I think he was nicely surprised and had a great time :) Here are some pictures from our last weekend. Enjoy.With mommy at the neighborhood pool. Noah loves water, just like his mama.

Busy Bee

Ever since Noah was born I thought that he was keeping me really busy. It was not until just recently that i have realized I would become much busier in weeks to come :) For the past week or so Noah is on the move constantly crawling and exploring everything that's on his way! I cannot leave him by himself for one minute without him bumping his little head against something. I have to admit that most of the time, he is a real delight to watch as he discovers the world around him :)

My little explorer! (today June 12,09)

Noah's first Ball Game!!!

Last weekend we have decided to take Noah for his very first baseball game! Even though the Braves have lost we had a good time. We tailgated, ate some good burgers and literally soak in Atlanta's sun :)) Noah enjoyed being around masses of people and i must admit that he is the happiest when there is a lot of activity going on. I don't know who he gets it from at all... He is a little pistol just like his mommy :))

It was soo hot today but in spite of this, Noah was a real trooper!

Noah showing off his toothies :)He already has four pearly whites.

Very proud mama and her little boy.

Noah's first visit to the pool!

I have been waiting to go to the pool with Noah for quite a while now (actually waiting for the water to get warmer) and today was the perfect day for a pool activity! Noah loved swimming in his new turtle and we all had a blast! I'm so glad we have a neighborhood pool where all the kids can meet up and play together. We will definitely get our money worth it this year because i plan to come here with Noah very often!




Noah with daddy...happy as he can be (May 31, 2009).

Welcome to Miami!!!

By the end of April 2009, me and Noah decided to join Paul on one of his business trips. This one was taking place in Miami and it was Noah's first beach experience. He was 6 months at the time. I can't even tell you how much fun we had together! Noah was a real trooper and as long as he was being carried-he was in a wonderful mood. We went to the beach, walked around the city, visited the Metropolitan Zoo, had some good seafood and most importantly spent some quality time together as a family. I love South Beach and i love business trips with Paul!

Mr. Cool pants!

Noah and the sea! It was gorgeous there. I LOVE Miami!

Noah was fascinated by the ocean. He loved dipping his little toes in the water.

One very happy family!

And one happy, naked boy! Things can't get cuter that that :)

Dining out in a Mexican restaurant! Noah really enjoyed that lemon.

Walking around with Noah, searching for a good restaurant :)Noah just adored being carried by me in his little carrier all over the city. He was very happy and content the entire time we have been there. We had a blast!



I can't wait for Noah to be old enough so we can both jump into the water!


Out and about...


Noah admiring the horse, that is great Dane! This one was super cool!

Us on the go again! I loved walking around and showing my handsome boy! I am not joking but almost every person that passed us buy was fascinated by Noah. He is a real charmer.
At first daddy though that he was getting all the attention, but it became evident that that was not the case :)

My blue eyed beauty chilling on a beach in a cabana :)The coolest cat around :)


Staring at the waves. Taking it all in. trying to remember every single moment of this.
