She's crawling, sitting up straight, and starting to try to pull herself up :0 Getting ready for a boat ride! We got her all strapped in! She like the boat but didn't love the giant life jacket. Then she slept in Ren's arms. It was the cutest We went to Storybook Island and road a train with Nora! Noah and her ark Riding a unicorn with help from her cousin James! Look at her sitting up so tall! Noah's cousins: Isi, Tessa, and Max Noah playing in the grass with Grandma, Mom, and her cousins! She things grass tastes delicious! Sometimes Mom gets massages from Noah's cousins, which is the best. At Crazy Horse! Thinking of Lisa's Grandma, Midge, who used to talk about Crazy Horse Grandpa doing stretches with Noah Noah with her cousins (Isi and Lucy) Noah and her cousin Max. Max loves "Baby Noah", which is what he always calls her

 Week 30 We may have an introvert on our hands. This is Noah sleeping near the closet while we were at a friend's house. Trying yogurt! Choosing the best toy Noah with our friend Katy Noah and a water toy! Noah being a cat Puzzle time! All dolled up! Wallace and Noah. Friends or bitter enemies?

 Week 29 Noah eats food! Bananas, avocados, apples, peanut butter, coconut oil, and bread! We went to the parade held for gold medal Olympian Suni Lee! Suni's family lives in our neighborhood. It was so fun to celebrate and there were so many kids! Noah crawling around Noah's first time at Costco. This was her serious face the whole time. Noah and her bestie Luce. They love to head bop. We started using this for Noah's bath so she can sit up. She loves it! Noah and Mom, during a break from work.  Noah and Martha. Martha loves books and so does Noah! Lisa graduated with a Master's in Chemistry this weekend. What an accomplishment!! Our friend Keegan made this hood. We are impressed with the creativity. Look at her learning to take steps! Noah is working on pulling books and toys off the shelf!

 Week 28 Noah is very interested in the baby proofing. The cutest sleeper Noah is up to 4 foods: apples, avocados, peanuts (ground into a butter), and coconut oil! She is pleased and also amused. Noah spends more time playing in her nursery these days. Noah and her friend Luce. Luce is big and steals the toys Noah is playing with. Noah does not care at all.  It was Erin's due date! No baby yet. Noah and Luce are so excited to meet their new best friend. The six parents and soon to be 3 babies have a monthly hangout. It's been so fun to watch all of our changing families. Future Lab Partner!

 Week 27! This week, Noah "ate" her first avocado! She thought it was delightfully messy. She also continued to eat Sophie, her favorite giraffe snack. This is how Noah sits these days when she is in the middle of trying to scoot places. It's so cute! It's always unclear to me if Maki stays nearby to protect Noah or to defend her territory. Last Sunday was Parent's Day, so we celebrated Lisa by going to the beach! Mark your calendars, everyone, Parent's Day is the 4th Sunday of July each year! Noah did not enjoy the water, but this outfit is amazing. Grandma Lori came for Parent's Day. Noah's shirt says what happens at grandma's stays at grandma's. :) Mid scoot! This may be the world's cutest video.

 Week 26 Shades baby! Noah turns 6 months old! She is a mover and a shaker! Not crawling yet but lots of downward facing dog and then face planting! Noah and Maki!
