State Fair 2014

Grandpa Randy came down to visit again this year so that we could attend the State Fair. Mommy decided not to go this year because she thought it would be too much walking for her, so it was just Grandpa, Daddy and I. Everyone tells me that this is the last year that I get to enjoy the fair by myself; next year Elliot will be old enough to join us. That's okay though, I think I can share the day with him :) The weather this year was much colder than it has been in the past, and at the end of the day it rained on us. We still got a lot of fun activities in though, and had a great day. Here are a few pictures from our day:

Noah's 5 year old fun

Hi everyone! I am 5 years old! I am excited to be 5, because now I can got o school. I also think I get to extend my bedtime, but mommy tells me we have to discuss it first :) A few days after my birthday, mommy and I visited Dr. Paulson for a checkup. He asked me a bunch of questions (i.e. if I knew my first and last name, where I lived, my address, phone number, what to do when a stranger talked to me, etc.) I knew the answer to most of the questions, so I was proud of myself. I also passed my hearing and vision tests. Here are my stats at age 5:

Height: 44 inches (80th percentile)
Weight: 46 pounds (69th percentile)
Blood Pressure- Normal
BMI-Normal

I continue to be a healthy boy! I enjoy running around and am extremely active. I learned a lot in preschool and am very ready for kindergarten. I can write my first and last name (and Elliot's name), know my numbers and letters, and can recognize patterns. I can't wait to see what else I learn in kindergarten. To keep our fun tradition alive, here are the answers about my 'favorites' at 5 years old:

Color: Blue
Food: Corn Dogs
TV Show: Ninja Turtles
Move: Tom and Jerry
Fruit: Strawberries
Vegetable: Corn
Song: What does the fox say by Ylvis
Toy: Ninja Turtles
Best Friend: Caleb

Noah's 5 Year Birthday!

Noah is finally 5!! He has been counting down the days for almost 6 months (when will I be 5? in 4 days?) As soon as he had his birthday, he started asking how long until he would be 6 :) On Noah's actual birthday, we spent the day as a family going to Lake Calhoun walking around the lake, going on paddle boats, and eating lunch at the Tin Fin. It was a great day. Since mom hadn't been feeling so hot lately, Noah's birthday party with his friends was several weeks later. Noah was a bit upset at first, but ended up thinking it was fun to be able to celebrate all over again. He had his friend party at Lifetime Fitness this year. We rented out the gym and the kiddos had two 'fun coordinators' that organized games for the kids to play during the party.
