Today Noah is one month old. Wow, time sure flies by!!! He is continuing to grow everyday. He is starting to be more alert and awake more often. We are just waiting for those coo's to come and the sleeping through the night. Hopefully only 4 more weeks!!!!

This weekend we got to go to Uncle Kevin and Uncle Tom's house for a BBQ and some swimming. At first Caeden was unsure of the pool. I thought maybe watching his cousin and his aunt and uncles in there, he would get in. Not the case. I actually had to "trick" him into getting into his swim trunks. Slowly he started on the steps of the pool and worked his way in.
Then he found something he loved to do. Mike would throw him up in the air. Mike got a good workout from it. "I want to fly like a bird" he would tell Mike and then Mike would throw him in the air.
He also discovered jumping from the edge into Mike's arms. He would laugh and scream so loud with delight. Even his cousin Lyndsey joined in on the fun!
Noah on the other hand just sat and lounged by the pool. Yep, he's a Wright. That's my favorite thing to do!!
Thanks Uncle Kevin and Uncle Tom for having us to your house!!!
We moved this weekend, and boy was it exhausting. Of course Mike tells me, this is nothing compared to the next move! Our brother in law's even told us they would chip in if we hired professional movers for the next move. Not a bad idea I think!
Caeden LOVED the moving truck. He kept running up and down the ramp over and over. I was a little nervous on how he would do in the new place the first night. Especially after the nightmare of moving him into a bed. But to my surprise he did great. I think it was thanks to grandma because she wore him out by playing all day!
A big thanks to everyone that helped us out! We have such great family and friends. We would have not been able to do it without you!
It is hard to believe we lived in that house for 6 years. I can remember the first day we moved in. As much as I wanted to leave, I am really going to miss it. It was the first house we bought together and the two kids were born there. Plus we had some GREAT neighbor's that we are going to miss (Diehl's, Tyma's and the Bushard's)!
Well we have made it to 3 weeks. I am counting down the weeks until he is sleeping through the night. I can honestly say it is a lot harder with two kids. Especially with such an active 2 1/2 year old. Someone told Mike that you truly become a parent when you have 2. Isn't that the truth!
We are still doing good though. Noah is growing like crazy and eating like crazy. When Noah is crying and I can't get to him right away, Caeden will let me know that is is crying and keeps telling me until Noah stops. I think he is starting to become protective of him.
Today we were out and about with my sister and we saw two brother's wrestling on the floor and Angie made the comment, "oh that will be Caeden and Noah in a couple of years."
On Monday was Caeden's last ECFE class for the year. We have been doing ECFE classes since Caeden was 9 months old and we both enjoy it! We do a variety of activites. Although, Caeden just wants to play most of the time. I sometimes have to "force" him to do an art project so I can hang it on the fridge. We have circle time and sing songs and then I get to have some parent time alone.
We have met so many nice people and made some great friends. We have had some fun play dates to parks, zoos and of course the famous McDonald's playland!
We look forward to the fall again to start the ECFE classes up again!
This week we went down and took pictures of the house (I know we are nerds). The first pic's are just dirt piles. And to our surprise the next time we went and looked at it, they have it staked out. We are starting to get really excited. Last week Mike and I got to pick out all our options for the inside and outside. It was exhausting. I don't think there was too many fights. We will keep you posted!
Well Noah got to have his first play date over the weekend. Even though he slept through most of it! We got to get together for my friend Nikki's 30th birthday. I guess we are all adults now that we are turning 30 and having babies. Nikki's son Cole will be 8 months on the 5th of June. Courtney and Quintin, Becca's twins are 5 weeks old. In the pictures you can see the size difference. We are hoping that they will grow up and become close friends just like their parents are.
