3 months and laughing

Ok, so we can't believe Noelle is already 3 months old. Where did the time go? She has been a bundle of joy with tons of smiles. A few days ago we heard her laugh for the first time. It was the sweetest sound! We thought we may not hear it for a while again, but 2 days later she laughed a couple more times!

Happy Thanksgiving

Noelle spent her first Thanksgiving at Grandma and Grandpa Johnston's house. She was lucky to finally meet both her great grandmas along with some of her aunts and uncles.

all smiles

Noelle loves it when we sing to her and she gets very happy and is all smiles...

growing like a weed

The past couple of weeks have been exciting for us and Noelle. She continues to grow and is now over 13 pounds. Every day we are seeing new things with her. She now is pretty good at holding her head up and is making all sorts of goofy sounds. Noelle has turned out be a morning person (not sure where she got that from) and she wakes happy and alert. She is very smiley and lets our goofy squeaks and gurgles. Smiley Girl

Noelle has found her hands and thumbs and enjoys sucking on her fist, thumb or fingers, whichever one makes it into her mouth. This of course is accompanied by loud sucking and smacking sounds.Mmm, tasty.

Happy Halloween!

Noelle was a tiger for Halloween! Halloween was a big day for her since she had her 2 month doctors visit where she got 5 shots. She was a trooper and I think it hurt Mom and Dad more than it hurt Noelle. She is now 12 pounds, 2 ounches and is 22 1/4" long. What a big girl! She is in the 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for height.
We dressed the babies up in costumes for the last week of our Mom's group. There were 3 other tigers with the same costume. We start up a new group next week.

Noelle got a cute pumpkin hat from Kayla, Becca and Elizabeth.
