Summertime Fun!

Well after the first two weeks the rain stopped here in good 'ole Buffalo and we have been enjoying ourselves! Our days are very lazy and relaxed, but we are having lots of fun together!

I found this beanbag at the goodwill and Noelle loves it! It's a little deflated and just her size :)

Noelle can stand up and get around and do pretty much whatever she wants now, but she simply does not want to walk! She just loves to crawl all over, but then when she gets to where she wants she is up and figuring out how to get the things I try to keep out of her reach.

First time in the sand box! She had a great time playing in the dirt :) She is playing with our friend Anee. Anee is another APX wife and is kind enough to keep us company and help us stay entertained.

So what's Noelle doing now? Noelle is just more and more fun every day! She officially has 4 teeth now! Her two front teeth are coming in and I am excited to see what her smile will be like when they grow a little more. She finally broke the 20-lb mark so it is not illegal for her to be in her car seat lol. She has officially taken her first steps too! It was a truly magical moment, but I guess not for her cause after attempting a few short times, she seems pretty determined that she like crawling a lot better than walking. If I try to get her to practice she just sits down and refuses. Oh well :) We have been going to several play dates so she can have a chance to see lots of other little kids running around and hopefully be inspired. She is learning lots of new tricks including blowing a kiss, singing "Old MacDonald", and clicking her tongue. She still loves dogs and lucky for her there are a lot in our apartment complex. She loves to watch out the sliding door and see all the people taking their dogs on walks. She loves to swim and her favorite treat is marshmallows! How we love our sweet angel Noelle!
