Just want to share couple pictures from last week that i didn't have a chance to post earlier. It was very windy one day so we went to Nickojack park to fly a kite. Unfortunately when we got there the wind subsided and the conditions to fly a kite were rather poor :)But we tried and tried and tried...and ended up having a great time nonetheless. I also had a good opportunity to take some shots of a sun flare for my next photography assignment (they turned out ok but not exactly what i wanted :) Sweaty and tired :) My little Frankenstein :)) Sun Flare :)
This was the very first time Noah had a chance to paint. He painted all over everything, including himself. He looked so natural with the brush in his hand :) My little painter! We have to buy him an easel soon so he can practice more painting outdoor. That will be fun. I have to constantly come up with different activities for us to do, otherwise we would get really bored :) Anyways, couple shots from Noah's first painting session. Time to paint the toes.
Yesterday we had a very busy but awesome day. And staying busy is what i like the most! We got up, had a breakfast together and then we went to Chattahoochee river with dogs. Doggies had a chance to run around freely and Noah was perfectly content playing in a water and throwing sand and rocks into the river. After Chattahoochee, Noah took a little nap and as soon as he got up we were off to an indoor swimming pool. He loved this new experience so much so that we had a hard time going home. I have to start taking him there during the week so we can have more fun in the water. After the pool we went home for just a quick second and then off to Mellow Mushrooms for some pizza!! The day was full of laughter and joy, just the way i like it!
It seems to me that as soon as i stopped breastfeeding (which was when Noah was 13 months), he started to have all kinds of problems including ear infections and colds. Most recently I had to take Noah to the doctor because he has been coughing for a while and also had a runny nose for quite sometime. We didn't know either his ears were bothering him again or he caught just another virus. Anyways, the doctor heard some wheezing sound in his chest that was probably caused by some viral infection. So what's the diagnosis? We don't know. The doctor said that is can be either a bronchitis, asthma or sinuses infection. Noah was prescribed two antibiotics and we were given a nebulizer to take home that would ease his coughing. I was very puzzled but the doctor said that there is nothing to worry about and most kids as they grow up won't need nebulizers anymore. Anyways, Noah can't stand the machine and he wants nothing do do with the cute fishy mask that comes with it. Every time i need to put the mask on Noah (which should be 4-6 hours) we need to either put on his favorite show (Fuzzy and blue and healthy too) or we can forget about nebulizer. Well, I'm taking Noah for a checkup tomorrow so hopefully we won't have to continue to struggle with a mask anymore :) Noah and daddy watching "Fuzzy and Blue and Healthy Too".
As many of you know, Noah loves to take baths and showers. Lately he prefers to take showers as often as possible, either with daddy or with mommy :) He can be playing outside and when we say a magic word "shower" he is ready to go and stops whatever he is doing at the moment. This is hilarious. After the shower he likes to be wrapped in mommy's towel like a big boy and he loves to parade around the house like a little king. He sure is mommy's king!
Some portraits of Noah i took on our trip to the horse farm. I am in love with them! Adorable! No matter how many photos of Noah i take, it's never enough. To me, he looks different on each photo and I desperately want to capture these special moments forever! I Love Love Love this photo!!!
This past Sunday we decided to take Noah to the local Horse Farm. Why horse farm? I think that my little boy adores horses. Every time we drive down Cooper Lake Rd (there is a house with several horses visible from he street) Noah wants me to slow down, open the window and look at the horses. We do it every time we drive near them. Sometimes when there are no cars behind us, I even stop the car we can glaze at these beautiful animals. I have always had a crash on horses but seeing my boy excited about them as well makes it even worse :) Anyways, I found this place in Marietta that's a horse farm, as well as a boarding place for horses and we went to check it out. I forgot to mention that Noah hasn't been feeling well for the last couple days (and hasn't slept well the night before) but as soon as we got to the farm he regained his energy and stamina :) He loved the whole experience! Something tells me that we will be back there very soon (we were told that for $20 Noah can have a ride on a horse :) Yeah!!!! With mommy trying to feed a horse some carrots (oh yeah we came in prepared:) Sitting on a horse (little scared but very curious and content) My little brave boy! Chasing the cat around the barn :) Loving on a cat :) Giving cat lots of kisses :)Sooo sweet!!
