The Crooked Smile

Noah's smile comes from a long line of crooked smilers (Nana and Great-Grandpa). We especially love the words (i.e. message) that accompany this smile. Maybe Noah will inherit the humor, too.

Cutie Pie

We love these pictures of Noah in his jammies and beanie (that Grandma knitted him). Such a happy boy!

Sorting through the Mail

Noah loves to help us sort through the mail. He often examines things with his mouth--- the bills taste especially good!

Landscaping

We are landscaping our backyard (with lots of help from our family!) and enjoying the process! Dad Swartz and Tim planted our first tree, and Noah helped Daddy dig trenches for the sprinklers.

A New Way of Eating

Noah is now eating solids. He especially likes oatmeal. At first, most of it ended up all over his face and hands, but now he is eating like a big boy--- only occasionally blowing bubbles with a mouth full of food!

The Original Baby

Cricket likes to remind us that she still holds title as our original baby.

Pillow Talk

Noah, Grandma, and Grandpa enjoy some early morning pillow talk.

Noah and the Pigeon-- 6 months

Mozart in the Making

Noah loves to practice chords with Nana. Hopefully, he will inherit her, and his Great-Grandpa's, talent.

Natural Sailor

Noah helps Nana and Joella steer the boat (Lara's Baby Shower).

Going to the Dentist

Noah's first visit to the Dentist (Uncle Jonathan) went well! No cavities. Noah was Uncle Jonathan's first "patient" in his new office.
