fun with cousin allison

Noelle has had lots of fun playing with her cousin Allison. We took them to the children's Discovery Museum and the beach. Noelle loves having Allison around and is always watching her when she is in the room.

We took Noelle to the beach today and she loved it! She was so excited and happy to play in the sand and to be in the water. This wasn't her first trip to the beach but it was the first time she has played in the sand and got in the ocean.

This sand feels funny....

Hmm, my feet must be under here somewhere...

At last...Hawaii!!!

We finally made it to Hawaii. We've had a busy first few days seeing family and friends. Noelle is having fun playing with her cousin Allison and all her baby relatives and friends. She is happy to see Grandma & Grandpa again.

First flight and Noelle did great!

May News

This is my last week with Daddy home. We had so much fun together. He took me to the park, music class, parents groups and played LOTS with me. I will miss our time together.
I am trying really hard to crawl. Somehow I just end up on my face or belly.
Goodness, it's soooo HOT here at home. Good thing we have a nice new air conditioner.
Hawaii, here I come! I will be shocked to see how many relatives I have and there will be so many aunties!

Valley Weekend & First Mother's Day

We spent the weekend touring the Central Valley. We attended our friend's Troy & Yoliana's baby shower in Clovis on Saturday (yea, a new friend on the way). Noelle had her first stay in a hotel in Fresno. We started off Mother's Day with a dip in the pool then it was off to Stockton where we celebrated with the Johnston family.

Look at me in this huge bed!
Yea, it's warm enough here to go in the pool!
My first time in the pool....seems just like a huge bathtub to me!
Happy Mother's Day
Don't forget to vote for my Grandma on June 3rd!

Spring Time

Hmmmm....I wonder how those flowers taste

Baby Loves Disco!

We went to "Baby Loves Disco" this weekend with our Mom and baby friends. It was in the middle of the afternoon (my how things change when you have a baby) at a real nightclub. There were bubbles, toys and groovy tunes.
