The Watkins Family

Last Christmas Elijah gave us his heart!

The boys have grown and changed so much over the past year. Elijah is now a year old and taking his first steps of many. Noah is as active as ever and loving preschool. We are so blessed. God is good, all the time!

Elijah is so Jolly

He is loved by so many.

Merry Belated Christmas to all!

Our Boy!

Having Elijah has made me realize Noah is no longer my baby boy. He is my very active toddler boy. He makes life so much fun. I am grateful he made me a mother.

Noah's Baby Brother

Noah loves his little brother, when-ever he leaves the room he say's "baby Liejah I'll be right back, okay" then he rushes back and say's "you okay baby?"

Welcome Baby Elijah Jaycob to Our Family

Elijah was born on November 8, 2008 at 9:44 a.m. by c-section. He weighed 8 lbs and was 21 and half inches long. He completes our family, it's hard to imagine how our life was without him.

Noah's 1st time in the ocean

Noah hates the beach, he hates the sand, he hates the water, and does not want to go back there anytime soon. Poor guy, it's hard being one :(

Good Times!

My little guy at the park!

Swinging at the park is so much fun. When I was a kid it was one of my favorite things to do. I would swing for hours and hours! I still love to swing (especially with Noah), but these days I can only hang for minutes of else I start to get sick. I think I'm going to try taking motion sickness pills before our next trip. I guess when your old it has to come to things like that...:(

Last Year he was a Puppy this year a Monkey

Happy Harvest Day!

Oct.31st 2007

We took Noah to the Harvest Festival at our church this year. This is him with our friend Maddie. He had so much fun playing with her, being chased by her and being held by her. A monkey costume was very appropiate for him this year.

Noah was a Monkey this year.

This year we could not get Noah to sit still at the pumpkin patch. Last year it was so easy. So our camera had to go where the monkey went..monkey see monkey do. This is our little monkeys' action photo.

Our Beluga with Beluga one year later

When Noah was in my belly, I nicknamed him beluga because during certain stages of his development he looked just like a beluga whale. We bought this stuffed beluga whale for Noah before he was born at Sea World. I took pictures of him with it when he came home from the hospital over a year ago and this is him with it on his birthday. I plan to take a picture of Noah with this every year for the next 18 years if he will let me.

Noah Meets Chuck E. Cheese for the 1st time

Noah picks Rachael everytime..

Noah loves, loves ,loves Rachael from Signing Time. Every morning when he watches her he is mesmerized. He just can't get enough of her. He will stop what-ever he's doing when he hears the sound of her voice. People know that Noah is already showing signs of being a mamma's boy. BUT... when Rachael is on T.V. and I walk into the room he looks at me looks back at Rachael and chooses her every time.

Noah loves Kidzoo!

Noah is so active now that he is one. He loves to go up and down the stairs several times a day. Closing doors is one of his favorite things to do. This past week he has been locking Jingles in the pool table room with him. I hear him giggling and saying "Ohhhhhh", when I open the door Jingles gives me a look of relief and runs out. Noah is always trying to follow Jingles out the cat door. The garage and under the bed are the only places our cat is safe these days. Jingles use to be safe on the couch, but now Noah knows how to climb up there too. Well there was a time when Jingles did have a very good life..the whole house was all his...but now I would have to say Noah has now officially taken over. He loves to climb and run and squeeze him self into the tightest little spots and then work is way out of them. He is all boy. I see that especially when he is around toddler girls. I can't believe how different genders are even at this age. Life with Noah is so much fun!
