Tebow Time

The other morning, Noah and I were outside riding his tricycle and following the lawn care guys around the neighborhood (typical Friday morning) when we saw Tebow up at the CO's gazebo.  To Noah's further delight, Jackie (the CO's wife) had a sprinkler set up for Tebow to drink from, which was right next to their outdoor shower...

 

Noah was very happy to see his favorite dog

Such a silly boy!

Apparently, the sprinkler wasn't getting him wet enough!

I have some really funny videos of Noah throwing the ball to Tebow and then trying to chase him down the hill, but I haven't been able to figure out how to post videos on here yet so the pictures will have to suffice.



Noah decided that he needed to take his clothes off since they were all wet (I had to fight with him to keep his diaper on!!!) so this is how he rode through the neighborhood to get home ;-)

The brown spots are from Noah trying to slide down the hill...



 

Morning suprise!

This morning I woke up to the sound of Noah making a distressed crying/screaming noise.  When I went into his room to get him out of his crib, I found him with his pajama shirt covering his face with his arms all twisted up inside...and a completely naked lower half!

He had already taken off his shorts AND he had decided to take off his diaper in his crib  :-S  (Yes, he sleeps in pajama shorts all year round and most of the time he doesn't even want a blanket covering him)

The *best* part is that when I walked over to his crib to help him out, I stepped in the puddle he had made from PEEING out the front of his crib!!!!!


This disrobing seems to be a new trend that we may have actually contributed to...after bath time, we usually let him go find the other parent before getting dressed, and he loves to do this while running around the house yelling "naked boy!"

 Lately, he's gotten into the odd habit of pulling his shorts off at random times, but now it has progressed to wanting to take his diaper off, too!

I guess the upside to all of this is that it is really pushing us toward potty training, and today he actually went pee on the potty three times! Unfortunately, that means we are also going to have to move him out of his crib (aka containment device) and switch to the toddler bed...

Daddy's *other* office

Ely had to run back to the hangar the other night and I had to head out to paddling practice (my new sport, racing outrigger canoes with the locals!) so Noah got to ride along with Daddy! I'm bummed I missed it because Noah had a blast seeing Daddy's airplane up close and getting to "fly" it!

Luckily, Daddy took lots of pictures for us :-)

According to Ely, Noah kept playing with the throttle and yelling "Blast off!" and he kept doing "pat, pat, pat" from Little Einsteins hahaha

He also kept asking if they could go fly :-)

Hmm...he might need a phone book to see over the dashboard ;-)

Daddy's office

One of the high schools came to base to launch rockets the students had built, and we were invited to go watch!  For a few minutes Noah enjoyed watching them "blast off", but there ended up being a lot of lag time while they were setting up and clearing up old rockets, so after about an hour and only seeing 8 rockets launched, we decided to go visit Daddy at his office :)

Out by the "launch pad" cheering for the rockets

Hooray for presents

This holiday season Noah was very much into opening presents! It wasn't even necessarily about getting a gift, he just enjoyed unwrapping the boxes.

Here are a few photos of Noah opening gifts we received the other day from the AZ Jakes :)

He loved the flying robots!

Rain, rain, go away

Today has been a relatively unusual rainy day on our side of the island. We had some errands to run at the *outdoor* mall, and unfortunately it was raining there, too.

Noah had a great time running around in the rain, though! Well, he enjoyed it until we got home and he was told he couldn't ride his tricycle in the rain.

Waving to Daddy

The other morning we made it out to the beach in time to wave to Daddy as he flew by :-)

If you look close, you can see the plane :)

Apparently he thought the bucket would make a great hat
