Patty cake!

Last week we all went down to Roanoke to spend some time with family. Tim ended up coming home early (darn work!), but Noel and I stayed until Wednesday - it was SO nice to be "home". I hadn't been since Christmas!

For the most part, we just relaxed. We had a cookout on Sunday to celebrate Mothers Day, and Grandpa was able to come by and share it with us. We also saw Great Great Aunts Gay, Carol, and Great Great Uncle Clair. Wow, that sounds strange to me!

Anyway, I was slightly worried that the change in scenery would disrupt Noel's sleep, but surprisingly, she did really well! It was a little difficult to sleep in the same room as her, though, since she's such a light sleeper. The first couple of nights I could hardly sleep because even rolling over in bed, I was paranoid about waking her up!

This past weekend Noel has started to do her own little version of "patty cake". We are ALWAYS singing "Patty cake, Patty cake, Bakers Man. Roll em up Roll em up, throw em in the pan!"

So now when we say "Patty cake!" she start slapping/clapping her hands together - it's SO cute. She has also started giving me big slobbery kisses. I'll say "Noel, give mommy kisses!" and she'll plant one right on my cheek. Ugh, it melts the heart!!! Mom and Dad got a video of her doing her patty caking, but unfortunately I don't have it available to upload.

She is the sweetest and most even tempered baby!

We got to hang out with Katie, Isaac, Kafi, and even some of my old co-workers.

This weekend I'm going to try to get a bunch of our baby stuff sold - Her little jumping things are taking up like half of our living area, and she really won't stay in those anymore. She'll jump for maybe 5 minutes and want out. I guess crawling is more exciting to her!

Here are some pictures from this past week -
