Beach Bum!

I went to the beach today with my mommy, Grandma & Annie. Can you believe they made me wear this incredibly silly hat while we were there?!


I was such a good boy while we were there. I even took a nap in my little beach tent!


I have an awesome story about what my mommy did today, but I'll have to share it later. I have some milk that's calling my name! :)

Love,
Noah

3 months!

I can't believe my sweet baby is 3 months old already! The time is going way too fast! He's full of smiles, but it's so hard for me to capture them when I'm by myself. The instant I go behind the camera he just stares at me. Little stinker! Hopefully we can continue the shoot once Grandma is here to help! :)


How lucky am I to wake up to this every morning! He sleeps in a pack 'n play in our room and I usually hear him cooing once he's awake. I grab him and bring him in bed with me for a little bit where we "talk" until he's ready for his morning chow. It's so sweet~ I love it!

Casting all island babies!

Lost is looking for a newborn baby
for an upcoming episode.
Infant must be 6-9 pounds & be bald or blonde.

So what's this crazy, proud mama do? Submits a photo of her nearly 11 pound, brown haired , 2.5 month old! Hey it was worth a shot, right? :)


The casting director emailed me back right away asking when he was born, how much he weighed and for more photos. I was so excited! I went through our photos and tried to find ones where he looked tiny, lol! I emailed her back, fibbed about his weight a little and crossed my fingers! She emailed back and said he was super adorable, but a little too big for what she looking for. Darn! Oh well, she did say she'd keep his photos on file and let us know she could ever use him in the future!

We're at it again. Unfortunately.

We said our goodbyes and then he was on his way. Or so we thought! I got a phone call and the GPS in the airplane wasn't working properly so they were unable to take off that night. I was feeding Noah so he got a ride home with a friend. I ordered a pizza, we all got into our pj's and we played UNO in our bed. We were in heaven! :)

Watching him pack is one of the hardest things for me. It's something he starts days prior to leaving so it's a constant reminder of what's coming up. Since they left their bags on the airplane everything was out of sight and out of mind. It was wonderful! We had the entire evening to hang out and relax. We LOVE to play games so we thought we'd squeeze in one more while we had the chance!







Here we are saying goodbye again the following day. Silly me thought it'd be easier the second time around, but it definitely was not.










We said our goodbyes and joked about his flight being canceled a second time. Never in a million years did I think it actually would. But it did!

Noah and I had been home for a few hours and I was on the phone with Carla when Randy beeped in. For a split second it scared me, because he should have been flying over the ocean not calling home! When I answered he was laughing and I could hear all the chaos in the background. The Marines got on the plane, but the were delayed in taking off. I guess it was getting warm on the plane so they let everyone get off so they could get some fresh air. While they were standing around in the hangar the flight attendant somehow set off the emergency landing slide! Needless to say that plane wasn't going anywhere anytime soon and I was incredibly thankful for that! :)

So here we are for the third and final time. Unfortunately.


Daddy, I'm sorry! Good thing Mommy kept an extra shirt in the car for you! :)


I didn't do it!




Huge, huge thanks to Annie and her sister for taking pictures each and everyday! I absolutely love them and can't thank you enough for being there for us. You girls are the best! :)
