day trip to cincy!

Chris, Noah and I went to Cincinnati on thursday for a little day trip! We had a little bit of an extra pay check this month and thought it would be fun to do that! So we had lunch at our favorite restaurant Maggiano's! Then we spent 3 hours in the never ending amazing store IKEA. We were almost done and we looked down and Noah was totally asleep in his stroller. Poor guy looked very uncomfortable :( We had a great day together! The video is us at lunch and Chris had gotten up to go to the bathroom. I love how Noah says Da- Da! It is so sweet! Sometimes he sounds italian when he says it :) If you have never been to IKEA...we would highly recommend it! But just be prepared to spend the whole day there and feel dizzy periodically!!

Thursdays

Every Thursday afternoon we get a special visitor to our house. And his name is Bradley Pryor :) His parents are friends of ours and they asked me to watch him for a few hours each week. He is such a chunker and just as sweet as can be. I look forward to getting to spend time with him every week. I told Beth (bradleys' momma) that he gives me my little baby fix for the week! Noah is just such a big boy already!! I miss him being a baby! How fast the time flies! He usually is up from his nap for about an hour before Beth comes to get Bradley. Noah is always SO excited to see him! It makes me think he is going to be such a great big brother one day! Sometimes Noah will pretend to be like Bradley and if he is down on the floor Noah will lay flat on the floor right by him and make sounds like Bradley! Noah also gets so excited that he shouts "wow!" or "yeh!" And Bradley is still sensitive to sounds and about 5 seconds after Noah has shown excitement...Bradley will start crying! And it takes a few minutes to get him calm again! I took a few pics of before Noah's excitement and after :)) it is too funny!

Brandt's Visit!

This weekend Tommy, Erica, and Bethany visited us! We had so much fun! We miss them so much and wish they would move back! :) Noah and Bethany were so cute. They only cried a few times when stealing toys from one another! They would randomly give eachother hugs without us even trying for them to. So cute to watch these little people in their own little people world! We went to Easton and let them play in the fountains. And we had to go to Cheesecake Factory and Greaters , they had to have that before they left Columbus. I do not blame them. Good picks. Chipotle too, of course! We are so thankful for the life long friends we have in the Brandt's.
