VA Friends

Oct 30, 2009

We got to also see some of our friends. Some we have not seen in years, and some in months. Mrs. Bobbie and Mr. Reagan are our friends that I spent so much time with learning to quilt. And Drew watching football. The Taylors have seen us through all kinds of things. And Rebecca is our friend from Kenya. Well she knows the reality of some our struggles since returning. It has been an adjustment. It was great to spend time with all of them.

Fall in VA

Oct 29 2009

We visited Virginia for some meetings. It is absolutely beautiful up there during the fall months. The leaves are just starting to fall and have turned all kinds of colors. It was quite chilly and rainy some but we had a great time.

Spooktacular

Oct, 23 2009

This was the most fun baby party I have ever been too. Well it was my first also but it was definitely lots of fun. The Sijanskys' really know how to treat. It was fun dressing Noah up in his Twiga (giraffe) costume or (tall tall, as some of our readers call it). He just knew he was looking SMART!!!! I was lucky that rain came through the night before, so the cool came with it also. That costume was hot. All the babies shed their outfits not long after arriving. Here is Noah with some of his baby buddies. Leighton and Brianna were posing for the camera with Noah. Brianna seemed to be the only baby who knew what was going on.

His own 2 feet

Oct 21, 2009





Our little man can stand. He has always pushed up on his legs. But he has recently been practicing his balancing. After about 30 seconds he gets tired and goes tumbling. But I think this pretty good for 4 1/2 months.

Mex eating

Oct 21, 2009

We went to eat mexican. My fav. And had a blast spending time with the family. Noah is getting so much better with eating out. Here he looks just enamored with Aunt Bryce.

Punkin

Oct 20, 2009

On this day last year Drew and I found out that we were expecting our little punkin. And now here he is pitching a fit. I thought it would be such a cute picture to put Noah in a bowl with all these cute gords. Well he was definitely interested but it was short lived. He got cold and really mad. In the end we just spread them out all over the floor and let him play with them.

Our little lex

Oct 18, 2009

Our little Lexie or (Alexis) as she told me she likes to be called is not little anymore. We joined our family in going to watch as she was baptized. I am so proud that she has asked our Jesus to be her savior.

State Fair

Oct 9, 2009

We fully intended on eating tons for lunch at the fair, and strolling around for a while. But it started to rain and the storm system started looming in the distance. I really want to go back. Fair food is my favorite. I love the fresh corn, Drew had roasted turkey, then there is chicken on a stick, bisquits with honey, taffy, caramel apples, boiled peanuts, cotton candy.... these are just a few of my choice favorites. Of course I only had time for corn and some lemonade this time but we did grab a bag of taffy for the road. Noah definitely had lots to look at. It was hot and humid since the storm was coming.

Berry Berry Good

Oct 5, 2009

Okay my new favorite place!!! Really!!! It is self serve yogurt with all the toppings in the world to put on top. With flavors like (blueberry, cheesecake, mango, srawberry, vanilla, chocolate, banana....) and something like 90% fat free, I could get use to this. Except for the price, I will have to pace myself.

Shish ka bobbing

Oct 4, 2009

Though it has been pouring rain this weekend we did have some family time in the midst of the showers. Thanks to my mom skewering all these lovely veges, steak, and shrimp we had a great dinner. Most of the boys grilled and we sat on the back patio just watching the rain. Something I have missed over the past two years.

Yummy Yummy

Oct 3, 2009

We are trying to get Noah use to a spoon, he was frustrated with it at first so we will continue to try over and over again. He is just so hungry some days and tired on the days after I think that he must be going through a growth spurt.

Excersaucer

Oct 1, 2009

Instead of using a walker there is this thing called an excersaucer. It prevents them from moving around the home but instead allow them to jump, stand, and play with all kind of things. Thanks to Mrs. Becky Pearce, Noah has been able to play and get those synapses firing in this little brain. We have not yet put batteries in it yet and will probably wait until he is tired of playing with it, then magically it has new life with sound, loud, repeating, melodic, sound (that we can do without right now).

Noah is able to roll from his belly to his back, flip over this boppy pillow, stand assisted, but we are working on is sitting abilities. He will lean to far forward and get frustrated that he can move beyond that. Then he cries for us to help him. And he is loving any bottle, cup, water bottle, anything that looks like it has milk in it.

4 Month Old Check up

Sept 30, 2009

We were a little early in going for Noah's 4 month old check up. We are using Dr. Courtney Rey in Ridgeland. We like her already. Noah did not know what to do with the blood pressure cuff. He was fine until it started hugging his leg. He has never had his BP taken before. We were scheduled to get his shots but opted to wait until later in the month. He has been a little slow going poddy because we started a little rice cereal in his bottle, and have since stopped that and tried getting him use to the spoon. He is healthy and 16.4 lbs. Yes our baby chunk is growing. At 26 inches he is moving on up. I looked at my baby book and I was 15 lbs. at 4 months, my brother was 17 lbs. so Noah is with our family range. Noah has started grabbing everything and it heads straight for his mouth.
