Friday - playdate at the Twirl Cafe in Queen Anne, lunch with mom, playdate at Olympic Sculpture Park with Oscar and Evan
And we still have the weekend full of plans!

Here's the super cool indoor sandbox we went to.  Noah had a blast!!


 Here's a painting we looked at in the Seattle Art Museum.  The title was "Leaves" and I asked Noah what it looked like.  "Oh, it looks just like rain, Mommy." "And a birdie." He was actually quite interested in looking at the art!  He's so much fun!!!

But he especially loved these cars!

his is is the Olympic Sculpture Garden, with Evan and Oscar.  The Space "Meedle", as Noah calls it, is in the background.  He gets excited whenever he sees it and often asks where it is :)

Cutie Oscar!



Here we are at the Caspar Babypants concert.  This was by far Noah's most favorite part!  Race car track!  It was so fun to watch him play too!  He was so sweet.  There was a little boy crying and Noah found a car and brought it to him, and it made him stop playing.  Very proud mommy moment!  :)

This is Sophie, a super cute little girl in one of our meetup groups.  She and Noah were super cute playing together!  Here they are playing games on my phone (to get them to stop running around Starbucks!).


And here are some crafts I have been making this week for the baby's room.  This is a felt butterfly.

And a felt birdie. I so love crafts!

The beautiful Seattle sky from the park the other day.  The week has had some rain and cloudy days, but mostly its been gorgeous like this!  :)

And by the way... we are having HUGE success with getting Noah to stop sucking his fingers!  I am so happy!!  He only does when he is sleeping now!  How'd I do it?  I created a sticker chart and for every 15 stickers, Noah gets a new car!!  I give him a sticker whenever I catch him not sucking his fingers.  The first hour he got 15 stickers and his new car, then another later that day, another the next day and now we are getting a new car every 2nd or 3rd day.  He is so pruod of himself and I catch him stopping himself often.  Some times he yells out, "Mommy, I'm not sucking my fingers!"  And he gets a sticker.  I have had the chart with me in the car all week (as car time was often the hardest time for him).  Amazing how well it worked!
