Noah is all wet and happy! He loves water, so we let him play with the hose for a while. Ryan usually takes Noah outside with him when he grills and they have fun. They explore the back yard and Noah plays on his little swing set and Ryan chases him away from the hot grill. Noah just loves being outside. We try to go on a walk almost every night after dinner where Noah points out all the "birrr"(birds) and "buuu" (bunnies) and "daw" (dogs) and "duck!(s)." There is a playground along our usual route that has this giant orange/yellow fish that you climb in, but Noah is convinced it is a duck. When we get to the pond on our walk he starts saying "duck duck duck" until we pass on by it. 
Noah was whining all morning because he couldn't reach the toys on the very bottom of the ottoman/toy box so I cleared out a spot and plopped him down inside it. I think he had a good time...he probably would have had a better time if I hadn't been taking so many pictures. He has started just throwing all of the toys all over the living room. I think each day it is his goal to make our house messier than it was the day before. Kudos, Noah, kudos. Every night Ryan and I dutifully pick everything up so that he can wreck it again the next morning. I think routine is important in a child's life.
