Growing Up

Noah, Daddy, and Granpa Jeff at the Fricke Thanksgiving.

When we went to see Santa this past weekend, Noah was not to happy. But in his defense, it was his nap time :)

Wow!!! It's been a while. Sorry all, but we have been busy. Noah is growing so fast. But he is such a happy boy. A few months ago we all got the flu, but Noah was over it a lot faster than mommy or daddy.

6 months

Grandpa Jeff and Noah enjoyed watching Ethan at the AppleJack Festival.

Noah continues to grow well. We just can't believe it has been 6 months already.

He has been a roly-poly little guy for over a month now. If there is something or somewhere we wants to get to, he'll roll. A little over a week ago his first tooth came in, followed a couple days later by his second. So Noah's toothless grin is gone. But replaced by a cute bottom toothed grin :)

We took a trip down to Nebraska City to watch Uncle Ethan march in the Apple Jack parade. While we were down there Noah got to meet "Aunt Winna" and Great-Grandma Fricke's new baby puppy. He wasn't quite sure what it was those. It looked a lot different than all the other 'puppies' Noah gets to play with on a daily basis. She was a lot smaller and didn't move near as much.

Noah loved to watch all the bands, floats, and festivities at the Apple Jack.

We certainly hope everyone is well. Dustin and Jessi are loving parenthood and Noah continues to be a healthy, happy little boy. Until the next time- from our family to yours. God Bless.

Summertime is Here

It's hard to believe that it is actually summer with some of the temperatures we've been having. We've really been enjoying it though. It's amazing how much Noah LOVES to be outside.

He continues to grow and is turning into such a little man. Mom and dad don't know where the time has gone.
Tomorrow our little guy will be 5 months old.Noah has started cereal, and is doing a pretty good job of 'eating' it. Until he decides that its more fun to 'razz' and then spit food all over.We hope everyone is having a good summer, soon the leaves with change color and begin to fall.

Mom and dad are looking forward to all the new things Noah will start to do and discover, but are going to miss him being a little boy.Until we see you, hope you all are well!!Love Dustin, Jessi, and Noah

Independence Day

Noah will be 4 months old the end of next week. Hard to believe that its true. This summer has been so busy, but Noah is a little trooper. He has matured so much the past month and is able to keep him self more entertained and not have to be held constantly. But he is stil held plenty. This pictures are from 4th of July weekend at Uncle Darwin's and Aunt Susan's. Plus some from Grandma and Grandpa Frickes.
Noah is his walker at Grandma and Grandpa Scotts.


Great Uncle Darwin and Noah.

We'll post again soon. Hope everyone is having a great summer. Take Care!!!

Father's Day Weekend

Well, it's summer time. 100 degrees outside and 95% humidity. Got to love Nebraska. This past Sunday was Father's Day, Dustin's 1st official Father's Day, if you don't count the dogs and the cat. It was a warm one too. We spend the afternoon up at Great-Grandpa and Grandma Buss's and enjoyed some chicken, beans and potato salad.

Dustin has been working all weekend on putting hard wood flooring down in the living room, Plus it was such a hot day we decided to take the afternoon off and go over to cousin Amanda and Rodney's and relax in the pool. Noah enjoyed the water soooo much. It was like one big bath tub to him. He got to sit in his floaty, kick his legs, and splash with his arms. He did eventually get tired and fell asleep on Rodney while they were relaxing in the lounge chair.

While we were up at Grandma and Grandpa Buss's Alex decided it was warm enough to take his shirt off. Noah didn't want him to be the only one, so he took his shirt off too. Noah seems to really enjoy being naked. If he is cranky just start undressing him and he laughs and smiles. Alex got to sit in the chair and hold Noah too. But he got too wiggly and so Amanda held Noah for a while.

Noah continues to grow, seems like everyday. It's hard to believe that is a couple days he will be three months already. Cousin Tara is back from Tennesse for the 4th so we should have some really good 3 month pictures to post next time. Until then we hope you all are well. Stay cool and Have a Great Summer!!!

Ethan's Confirmation

Uncle Ethan got Confirmed this past Sunday. These are just a few pictures of the day.

Noah continues to grow and change almost daily it seems like. He REALLY loves to be outside and watch the trees, feel the breeze, and listen to all the different noises, especially when the 'choo-choo' goes by.

He's starting to hold things in his hands for a minute or two and bring them to his mouth. I'm sure he will be wanting to put everything in his mouth before we know it. Everyone always says it 'but they really do grow up to fast.'

Memorial Weekend

Oh what a weekend. Mommy, Daddy, and Noah were on the go. Saturday afternoon we went out to Lubben's pond with the other two 'kids' (dogs) Betsy and Gizmo. While mom and dad hung out with Adam and Carrie, the dogs had a great time with Adam and Carrie's two dogs Lexi and Junior. Needless to stay everyone got a bath when we got home that night.
On Sunday night we all went up to Grandma and Grandpa Scotts. Aunt Susan, Uncle Darwin, and Cody, Dillon, and Evan came over to spend time at the fire pit. We got to grill hot dogs, brats, and roast marshmallows. All the excitement tuckered Noah out. He really likes to be outside and can easily sleep through the noise.
On Monday, Memorial Day, Noah was 2 months old. We were back out at Lubben's that afternoon to spend some time with the Fricke Family. Great Grandma Fricke is 70 today!!
Noah is growing into such a good boy. It's hard to believe, the time has gone so fast. About a week ago Noah started to sleep through the night, 8 hours at a shot. The first few nights mom and dad had to get up every few hours to check on him though.
He is growing well. Noah is up to about 14 lbs and 23 inches long. He got his 2 month shots, which were probably worse for mom than for Noah. Two weeks ago Jessi went back to work 3 days a week and Noah started at daycare. It was harder than we all thought it would be. This week Jessi started full time. Mom, dad, and Noah seem to have gotten a system figured out, so we'll see how long that last.
