Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

On Monday my dad went in for surgery at Dartmouth Hickcock Medical Center.  We all went with him to show support.

By the time Kate, Noah, and I got there Dad was ready all preped and waiting for a surgery room to become available.

Lunch/nap.

After lunch we practiced some walking.  Kate took photos.

Walking while holding onto only one hand.

Waiting by the computer that will tell us Dad’s status in surgery.

The computer never changed, instead the doctor came out and told us that everything went well and that Dad was resting comfortably.  Everyone was relieved and knew it would be a while until we could see him so we went out for some dinner.

Relief.

I don’t know where it came from, but Noah has this new face he’s been giving us lately. Sometimes he makes it in frustration, sometimes for attention, sometimes it’s just random, but it’s always pretty ugly (no offense to Chris Farley).

For reference here is a before photo. So many cute features…

AFTER!!!

Video proof in case you don’t believe me. Not the best video I’ve made, but you get the point.

Noah’s been into the standing thing lately.  He pulls himself up on anything he can, so it only made sense to hook him up with a musical table like the one Julian had.  He’s into it.

New apartment, new tricks, and new teeth.

Saturday was rainy and cold, not a great day for being outside, so after everything was baked for Easter and Noah woke up from his nap we went to the Queens Museum of Art to look around.  Tim and Chris had gone there a few weeks ago and it looked like a good time so we went and poked around.

Brownies…

Off to Queens.

The famous Panorama, a scale model of the city built for the 1964 World’s Fair by Robert Moses.

Group photo in front of the World’s Fair Globe in Flushing Meadows Park, a must for any tourists.  My first attempt at setting my camera on the diaper bag in the seat of the stroller wasn’t straight.  This was my second attempt…

This is my third attempt (“professional” means keep at it until it works).
