Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

Last Saturday we celebrated Declan’s first birthday and his final days as an only child (Lisa is weeks away from giving him a brother).

Jessica and Vicky let their older sister Nicole do their make up for the party. They asked me how it looked, they didn’t have a mirror.

Michelle taking my picture.

Limbo.

Noah giving Declan a ride around the back yard.

Another generation of hard working Holts carrying it all for an Urban… I kid.

We started Mother’s Day with a Dad dominated soccer practice. Noah was slow to get into it.

Savannah.

Enzo on sticker duty.

Surprising mom with flowers after her yoga class.

Cleaned up and then on the bus to meet The Urban fam.

We ordered rainbows for Kate and Nana T.

…and lots of sun.

…and a couple of photographers to document the occasion.

Gifts.

Dessert.

Then down to Red Hook for the BWAC show that Nana T. helps to put together.

Noah was psyched because a lot of the good work was on the floor.

It was really hard to keep Noah away from these crayons.

This is a face, drooling or throwing up, not sure.

Some of the prints Nana T. was showing.

Filthy boy.

So Kate has a new phone… I think you’ll be seeing a lot of it…

This woman rescues birds, she showed Noah her newest patient.

Happy Mother’s Day to Kate and Nana T.! Thanks for all they do!

Sunday, the day after Nate and Geneva’s wedding, we took a wet (and groggy) trip to the Museum of Natural History with Nana and Grampa Holt.

Noah asking, “When will they hatch?”

Comparing elephants.

Noah reluctantly suiting up to be the ring bearer.

Trying to psych Noah up for the walk down the aisle.

We tell him jokes, show him statues, trying to get him comfortable.

Kate’s arms were the most comfortable place though.

Aunt Sherry and Joey.

Meeting some friends.

Best man speech.

Julie stealing the cake.

With Kamber.

Joey and Ali with their daughter Marley.

Bev.

B-boy.

Time to throw things!

Calling up all the single ladies.

Time for the single bros to try and catch the garter.

Proud moment.

Noah passed responsibilities off to someone with longer arms (who didn’t get very far, maybe ankle? Mid-calf at best?).

Great day. Congrats to Joey and Ali!

Early morning 4 wheeler action with Aunt Mindy and Jaycee.

Straight to the dirtiest place on the planet.

Jaycee’s dog Chloe wasn’t feeling it.

My childhood lunch.

Fluff..
