Dancin'!

Ever since Noel was 3/4 months old, she's been doing a little dancing move in her high chair, but it was always here and there. For some reason this week she's been dancing up a storm!!



She also takes pleasure in disassembling any and everything she can get her hands on. This includes pulling all of the DVDs out and throwing them on the floor, pulling all of her diapers out and unfolding them...and even disassembling the organizer that held her diapers! It's hard to keep up with her!



She's also stood up on her own yesterday, without pulling up. She'll stand for 15 seconds or so and then sit down. I'm guessing her first step won't be too long from now!

Hopefully I'll get her standing up on video soon so that I can upload that! I apologize for not updating this in awhile - I'm slacking! :o)

Niice Kitty

I think we must have the most patient cat in the world.

Water Water Water

Boy, does she love it! I took her to Megan's lake on Monday, and this afternoon I took Noel to the quietest beach in our subdivision (Thanks, Tim :o) ). We had the whole beach + swimming area to ourselves - it was nice!!

The biggest problem I'm having with her, is that she doesn't understand that you can't breathe in the water. She wants to put her face right down in the water, and when she does, she breathes it in and/or drinks it. Oh, and of course...eat the sand.

Plus, she tries to "crawl" away from me and go playing on her own, which obviously she can't do yet. Next summer we'll be able to explore a bit more!

She liked her baby float, but was getting frustrated that there was a small barrier between her and the open water.

Here are a few pics

Family Outing!

After YEARS of talking about going down to the Peaks of Otter to have dinner in the lodge, we FINALLY did it. We invited along Mom and Dad and met them for dinner, and then walked around the little lake there. It was a BEAUTIFUL evening!! It was quite a trek for just a meal, but we decided it was worth it.

Plus we gave the BOB (the stroller) a great workout.

Here are a few pics...






We left around 7 (Noel's bedtime) and got home around 9:00, so understandably, Noel was EXHAUSTED. I had to wake her to do her bedtime routine and put her back down, and it was so hard!! Who would want to wake this sweet sleeping baby??

A word from Noel
