Noah's Giggles

We've been trying to get a video of Noah giggling for awhile now and I think we finally got a little something.  Enjoy!

5 Months Old

Noah turned 5 months old on Monday.  He's just growing too fast and it breaks my heart because he's our last one and such a happy, fun baby.  I'd have six more kids if they were all going to have his temperament.  :)

I was able to borrow a bumbo seat from a friend and most of the time he likes it but every now and then he doesn't.  I think he was ready for bed in the picture below and he would've cried no matter what we were doing. 

 We started sweet potatoes this week and at first he wasn't too sure about them.

By the time he finished the container, he had decided they were pretty good and has been eating them well, the entire container, plus drinking all of his bottle.  This boy has an appetite!

 He's been having a good time hanging out in the Johnny Jumper.  It's great because he can turn around and see most of the rooms downstairs, or at least what's going on in the rooms we're typically in. 

After bouncing awhile in the Johnny Jumper I took him out and laid him in the floor gym thinking he might like to stretch out and play for awhile.  I was wrong!  Next thing I knew, he was sound asleep, never made a peep.  He's done this several times before.  When he's tired, he's tired, and he'll just go to sleep wherever without even fussing sometimes.  It amazes me everytime!

Beauticians in the Making

The girls LOVE to do hair!  Grandpa Kenny bravely let them work on his and he's probably still sore from their styling techniques.  They fixed Grandma Kathy's hair too but she wouldn't let me take any pictures of her.  I think she probably had 80-100 clips in her hair by the time they were done.  Such good sports Grandpa and Grandma are!

This picture below makes me laugh... check out my Dad's face... I don't think the girls were being very gentle!

Birthday Weekend

Last weekend we celebrated my birthday and my parents came to visit.  It was so good to see them!  We usually go a long time between our Christmas and spring visits because the weather usually isn't all that great for traveling.

 Michael did a great job shopping for me.  I've wanted a mixer like this for awhile and he's super excited to eat all of the mashed potatoes and cookies I'll be making with it.  =)

 We had cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory to celebrate and it was DELICIOUS!  We were hoping to eat dinner there but the wait to get a table was an hour and 30 minutes so we passed and went to Max and Erma's instead.

 Mom and Dad were a great help with the kids.  They watched them for us on Sunday night so that we could go out on a date which hadn't happened since before Noah was born.  It was so nice!
