FALL FUN!!

From headin' to the pumpkin patch with Grandma and Grandpa Kellhofer...
To playing and learning at The Little Gym...

And getting to crawl around on the St. Louis Rams Football Field...


and "Monkeying Around" at home in my Halloween costume...
I've been VERY busy this fall!
It's so hard to believe that our little Noah will be a year old next Saturday...in fact, the thought of it brings tears to my eyes! I cannot express how WONDERFUL this year has been and consider it such an honor to be his Mommy every day. The only regret I have is not updating this blog enough...I will try to be better at it during Noah's 2nd year!! :)
Happy Halloween Everyone!

I Love Him...


I just HAD to post this picture too...Dad just sent it to me, but it's one of the best ones we have of me and my little guy! :)

Dinner....or finger paint???






























Tonight, I decided to give Noah some "Pasta Primavera" thinking that he would LOVE it. Well, turns out it made him gag and push it away...which is a first for him! While I was trying one more bite, he pushed the spoon away, causing some of it to drop down onto his highchair tray. I thought to myself...since he doesn't like it, why not have some fun with it?? So, I scooped out the rest onto the tray and let him go...and this is what happened!! He had so much fun playing in his food that I just had to let him go crazy with it! Why not, right??
Needless to say, bathtime followed shortly after the finger painting adventure...



after we cleaned up a bit, we played with the towel...Noah loves to play peek-a-boo! :)
Here are some fun pictures of us apple picking with Nana and Papa last weekend:

9 months already?!


Noah Michael Kellhofer is now 9 months old! It's amazing at how much he can do already-pull himself up and stand on his own for a few seconds, feed himself finger foods, drink from his sippy cup, crawl all over very fast, say a few words, play by himself very well, and even lower himself back down to the ground to prevent falling!
We are so proud to be able to call him our little boy. I consider myself so grateful to be his Mama! I can't wait to see what comes next! :)

Summer comes to an end...reflecting back on 3 wonderful months...

As summer comes to an end, Mommy and Daddy are reflecting on the weeks that they were fortunate to be at home with their Noah. From trips to Florida, the Botanical Gardens, and Busch Stadium...to just relaxing at home and by the pool at Nana and Papa's house...this has been the best summer ever. We hope to have a great school year as well as spend as mch time at home with Noah as he continues to grow every day into an amazing little boy! :)
Here we are at the Botanical Gardens cooling off in one of their fountains...

One of Daddy's highlights of the summer was taking Noah to his first Cardinal Game. Both Daddy and Papa were beaming as they watched our little guy truly enjoy this experience...and Mommy and Nana had a good time too!


Noah also LOVED the pool this summer!! Due to the beautiful weather, most days the water was too chilly to swim. But, we did get in a few great days and some fun pool-time pics!


Well, since school is starting next week...I know we are all going to be very busy trying to get back into the routine, but I will try to keep posting new posts of what's going on in the lives of the Kellhofer Crew! :)

Daytona Beach Trip...long car ride, but worth the wait! :)

Well, Noah's first vacation to Florida was a great success! He did a wonderful job on the LONG car ride down and enjoyed the pool and the beautiful warm weather. We are so lucky to have this summer off to share it with our little guy. Just in the last 2 weeks Noah has changed so much! He now has his first tooth (and working on the second), is ALMOST crawling and probably will be by the end of the month, says "Dada" and "Mama", and enjoys eating all kinds of yummy fruits, veggies, and cereals. As you can see in this picture, he seemed to like the ocean and we hope to return to the beach every other summer so Noah can enjoy the beach as much as Mommy and Daddy do!




Happy Father's Day Daddy and Papa!!

Some fun shots in the pool:















I love my Mommy and Daddy!!












OUR LITTLE BEACH BABY :)








Noah had a lot of fun, but he was worn out!!














We look forward to the rest of the summer sharing many new things with our little guy! Every day is a blessing with Noah and we are so thankful that we have the privilege of being his parents. We will continue to post new pictures throughout the summer, so keep checking out our blog to watch our Noah grow!! :)
