The kiddos are growing up!
Last week when we were getting ready to leave the house, Ajax said, I don’t need to bring silkie to school with me, I only need her at night. Woo hoo! Till this time Ajax has always brought silkie to school for nap time and at four we’ve been kinda wondering when he would decide it wasn’t needed all the time. It seems like we’re there. I can’t believe how old he is getting.
Noomi is also growing up, ten months now and a year will be here so very soon! She is a fast little crawler and will now pull herself up into the standing position. She isn’t great at getting back down, but she’s getting there. She is also starting to notice the stairs in our house, but again hasn’t really attempted them. She is still incredibly loud and when she gets excited she waves/flaps her arms wildly. The ladies at daycare told us that when she does that they say – Fly Away Noomi! Fly Away! It’s actually so funny to watch that Dave and I now say that to her as well. So far she is saying – dada, mama, hi, and there. She is also starting to point at things she wants, which is ridiculously cute.

This past weekend was quite busy. On Saturday morning Ajax and I headed into town to see the dentist. When the technician came out for Ajax I wasn’t sure he would go with her (as I was already sitting in the chair for my own cleaning), but to my surprise he went with her and did awesome. I heard him talking and talking to her, it was so cute. After the dentists we ran to Home Depot and bought a new stove for our Garden City house (as somehow the tenants broke the old one). We then headed home to Lansing. When we got home and Dave and I traded kids so that he and Ajax could do yard work and I took Noomi grocery shopping. Dave then had the kids for the night and I met my mom and sister in Jackson for shopping, sushi, and a movie.
Sunday turned into a highly productive day- Ajax dug several holes in the backyard, Noomi did laps around the living room and pulled herself up on everything. We got laundry folded and put away. Dave got some work done. I got some cooking done and then made an awesome dinner. We also went on a bike ride and explored a new section of the Lansing River Trail near the zoo. Ajax did wonderful; he didn’t fall once and Noomi sat up the whole time clutching the tray of the stroller. She clapped and waved at everyone.
