Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

A little “risky business” after the Children’s Museum and a nap.

Tofu and lentils for lunch.

Dude lost a wheel in the middle of one of the busiest intersections in Brooklyn.

Nana and Opa Urban were having some friends over so we stopped by to see everyone and have some drinks and snacks.

Uncle Tim stopped by too.

The walk home.

Thanksgiving Day Dinner with the Urban clan, Dan (who is staying with them while he is in a play on Broadway), Jan (Dan’s wife), Nathan, and Owen.

Everyone waiting for me to put on music…

Noah waking up from a nap.

Some post nap love from everyone.  First Nana.

Then Aunt Lisa.

Then Uncle Emmett.

Then Nathan.

Then more love from Uncle Emmett…

Then awkward bottle feeding.

Then it’s time to go home and sleep all this love off.

Thanks to Nana and Opa for going all out and cooking a perfect Thanksgiving meal.

Noah’s day care was closed on Wednesday for Veteran’s Day, so he spent the day with Nana Urban, who not only babysat all day, but also invited us and Noah’s Uncle Tim over for dinner.  Amazing.

Noah finished dinner pretty quick and ran around while the rest of us ate.

Opa telling stories.

Success!  Time to go home and go to sleep.

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.

Luna.

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

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

Some flicks that didn’t make the original cut from our trip to Avon, NC.
