6 months old

Today is Noelle's 6 month birthday. She provides continual joy and laughter for us. We enjoy hearing her new sounds and seeing her new facial expressions. She has a feisty personality!!

Cute Pics

Noelle got to take her first bath in the big people's bathtub. She loved it!

GO BRUINS!!!

Nursery is Finally Complete!

So we are only 5 1/2 months late in finishing Noelle's room...I wonder what we have been busy doing???

The cute paintings on the wall were done by Kirk and the frames were made by Kirk and his Dad.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day

We celebrated a belated Valentine's day since Kirk was sick on Valentine's. Grandma and Grandpa watched Noelle while Kirk and I went out to dinner. Here's Noelle with her Valentine's bear and balloon courtesy of the balloon master, Grandma Ann.

Noelle and I made a frame for Kirk's Valentine's gift. We tried to put handprints on the frame, but Noelle kept making her hands into fists. Instead, we ended up putting footprints.

Here's my friends

I have lots of baby friends that are all born within a month of me. We get together for lunches, walks, music class and more! Here is am trying to get Dillon's hand in my mouth to chomp on.

I'm a big girl now

I am getting good at sitting up. I still need my hands to support me and will often start leaning to one side before Mommy or Daddy catch me.

I can sit in my high chair now and sit with Mommy and Daddy while they eat. I'm not eating solid foods yet.

I got a cool new jogging stroller and can sit foward facing. As you'll notice, I hang on for dear life, though.

I am outgrowing my baby bathtub and splash water all over the place.

It's cold outside!

What do you do when it's cold in California?

Pretend you're in Hawaii....
Mom had the sudden urge to try on the cute Hawaiian outfits that Noelle received....

new sounds

Tonight Noelle decided to treat us to a new sound that she has been working on. Not sure where it came from but she is certainly proud of it. Sitting on her bouncy chair she started in on it and just kept going. Even after we took her upstairs to put her into her jammies she kept making the sound. Of course it was cracking us up, so she was doing a good job of entertaining us.

phffffffffft!
