Noah is 6 months old, and to celebrate, he got to eat solids for the first time! His aunties, Kathleen and Valerie, got to join in the fun, feeding him his first first bananas.
Today I had a play date with these three little ladies - all photographers, pregnant and due with baby boys around the same time. Just look at our little matching men below just 11 months later!

He loves dinasours right now. "Disasour", he repeats, until I can gather as many as we can find in the house. He still takes naps every day at noon...and by "nap", I mean I usually hear him quietly playing away with his toys and puzzles, lining up his blocks, or jumping from furniture.
He is silly, sweet, sensitive, and affectionate. He loves his big sister and baby brother like crazy. He will follow Sydney to the ends of the earth, and showers his "Baby Nooo-ah" with kisses and hugs every five minutes. I can't imagine my life without my Max.
Kathleen was the pro at blow-drying wrappers onto the eggs
Max and Sydney were glued to Kathleen's friend, David
Kathleen's friend, Lizzy, wowed us with her egg tie-dying skills

the hunt is on!
Caitlin kept trying to sneak this big rock "egg" into her basket
Max found the Golden Egg! The prize was a big egg filled with War Head treats. :)
Tommy and Max ended up as matching buddies without realizing. I've got some stylin' men. :)
Easter Sunday morning we woke to find the Easter bunny had hid clues around the house leading to our baskets.
New rattles and toys just in time - Noah is loving grabbing and slobbering on everything he can get his hands on.
Sydney helped Max with all his clues. She kept forgetting they were for him, and running off with the papers, leaving him chasing after her in confusion.
the marshmallow bunnies were well worth the wait
the Easter Bunny left a dozen clues for Sydney this time, since she's been talking about the scavenger hunt since last year.
how did the bunny know she loves Nerds? And I kept finding evidence of Max all over the house as he'd line up his candies and run off to the next treat.
Tommy was stumped with a tricky poem clue to lead to his basket. :)
(the easter bunny tricked me into thinking I got a new lens, when it was actually a thermos ;) )
we had a classy lunch of hot chocolate in our fancy glasses and easy-cheez on crackers
