Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

While Mom (Kate) was busy making brussel sprouts, Noah and I caught a little bit of the Macy’s parade (even though studies suggest no “screen time” for kids under 2…).

Noah danced for the Yo Gabba Gabba float.

Noah was a little flush after being in that warm kitchen.

Ironing Noah’s shirt.

Dressed and ready to go to Nana and Opa Urban’s.

Ryan (who lives on the first floor with Ellen) was working on his tennis game at the park down the street.

Kate gave him a brussel sprout for strength.

Tomorrow..  our Thanksgiving Day Dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

We didn’t dress up for Halloween.  Noah has a cold, and we didn’t have any inspiration after a night of poor sleep.  We did have a good day though, and we saw some scary stuff like this while running errands…

Of course we also spent some time at a playground.

Maybe we’ll do something next year, probably not though…

Emmett and Lisa had the family out to celebrate Nana Urban’s Birthday this weekend.

Angus ate well with Noah “the dropper” around.

Noah’s Aunt Lisa worked hard in the kitchen, and still kept an eye on Angus when he had to go out.

Emmett and Lisa have this amazing wallpaper in their bathroom.  Every time we go out I’m worried it will be gone as they renovate their house.

Best carrot cake ever.

As we got ready to head back to Brooklyn I had to document diverse bookshelf.  Einstein biographies next to Tori Spelling autobiographies.

Yesterday was Noah’s actual birthday, and Kate and I thought it would be good to have just a simple little picnic in the park.  We thought it would be nice to have something easy and welcoming. With help from Noah’s Nana and Opa Urban, who are really good at and enjoy throwing fun parties, we had a picnic plan underway.  A couple of trips to a few mega grocery stores later, they helped throw a really great and bountiful party for Noah – which was located deep in the park, on a mildly humid day, with a chance of rain.  Lucky for Kate, Noah, and me, Mindy was in town and could help us drag our contribution to the party up to the park.

Check out the spread!!

It felt like everyone came to the party on a bike.

Tim did.

So did Lou.

Kate and I met at a party Michelle (left) was having.  I was dragged to this party by Tara (right).  They take full credit for Noah being around.

Bradley, Hannah, and Lou.

Uncle Matt.

Noah’s new whip.

Unfair fight…  Eric’s arms are the size of Noah.

5 Minutes after this photo was taken, the bottom fell out of the sky.
