We have had quite an eventful summer. We got to go to liberty park which was a lot of fun. There were ducks and geese ,but of course all Noah wants to watch is the children. He loves to watch kids. It's like it hits him, hey there are other short people like me out there. We also went for a great hike up to Doughnut Falls up 
big cottonwood canyon with the Lunds. That was a fun hike but we thought it would be stroller friendly. It was not. We had to hike Noah up in the back pack. The Lunds had a more rugged stroller and hauled little Sydney up the mountain in reverse. The falls were beautiful and it was nice to get out of the hot weather and up in the mountains.
We had a great 4th of July and 24th celebration. Noah loved the fireworks at first but after a few minutes it was like they over loaded his senses and he fell asleep in Tomi's arms. We couldn't believe he slept through all the noise of the fireworks and this is a kid who will sleep no where but in his crib or his pack and play. He did better on the 24th and watched all the fireworks. He also loved playing with the glow sticks. They were a big hit with all the kids and Tomi and I were glad stocked up on them a year ago when we saw them at the dollar store.
One of our favorite pass times is finding new ways to torture Noah by tickling him. We can't help ourselves ,it is just too fun to listen to his great laugh.
Noah now not only rolls around but has learned to do the army drag your legs scoot/crawl so I had to install the baby gate. I went through 2 gates, 3 installations and an adapter kit before I got it work right. That was a fun day. All in all it has been a great summer. We even turned in our papers to adopt another baby. I only hope the next one is as wonderful as Noah. He has been a joy.
