Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Saturday afternoon in Charlotte with Aunt Mindy.

As Noah tried to nap, Kate, Mindy, and I sat on the balcony. While we were talking, Mindy’s camera slipped off her lap slid through the railing, and fell twenty-one stories to the street below.

Luckily no one was hit.

Kate’s head showing us where the camera fell from.

The memory card and battery survived, but that’s it.

Friday night I picked up Noah from school and we met up with Joshua, Amanda, and Julian (and Kate) on the Upper West side. Unfortunately for you, Noah and I both failed. I failed to take many photos..

..and Noah failed to remember that he wasn’t wearing a diaper.

Being the amazing Aunt that she is, Auntie Mindy sent Noah a big ole box for Easter. On Friday we opened it.

A present for everyone!

Easter eggs filled with Play-Doh.

Noah’s first backpack, filled with finger-paint and colored bubbles!

Noah went right to the couch with a farm animal themed coloring book that he called the “Old McDonald” book.

“Bye!”

Thanks Auntie Mindy!! Amazing gifts, as always!

Last Saturday Noah and I went to City Ice Pavilion in Long Island City for Chris’ Birthday Party.

Chris and his friends.

I wore my special ice skating tights, to help me jump higher.

Miles brought some friends too.

Noah wasn’t into the skates at all, and it took a lot of coaxing. Our first go was pretty wobbly so we took a break and had some lunch.

With renewed strength, lil’ dude was a little more adventurous. Tim skated with him so I could get some flicks.

Cake time.

Patience.

After cake we went back to the rink and Noah, hopped up on sugar, kept pushing my hands away as I tried to skate with him. With my hands free, I couldn’t help but take some flicks with my phone…

…and a quick vid, before/as I got yelled at.

Happy Birthday Chris! Thanks for inviting us!

Rough start.

…but Auntie Mindy worked it out.
