Sicky baby

Noelle is sick. It's not really bad, but she is just feeling yucky and has a low fever :( Mostly she is being pretty cheerful (I think) for a sick baby, but she had a hard evening and I think it is one of the worst feelings in the world to hear a sick little baby cry and know that you can't instantly make it all better. But when she is sick she is much more cuddly and snuggly and I never mind that part :) Please don't think that I enjoy my daughter's suffering, but as a mom who feels like her little baby is growing up way too fast I love being able to just hold onto her while I can.

Cute Kid Contest!

Yep, I did it. I entered Noelle in a cute kid contest, and we need your votes to win! Simply click HERE and post a comment (with your email address so she can verify the vote please! If you are "anonymous" and don't have a name and email your votes won't count.) saying you want to vote for #18! If you really want Noelle to win, you can get on and vote once a day every day until the end of November! Go team Noelle!

p.s. I think I'm a little narcissistic because so far I'm the only person who has submitted an entire slide show of pics for the contest. Everybody else just picked one of their kid. But really I think that Noelle deserves more than one because she has so many cute pictures :)

Finally!

I am BLOGGING! It feels so nice :) Noelle is 8 months old today, and what a joy she is! She is the most fun, cute, funny, beautiful, happy, sometimes sassy, and amazing girl I have ever met. And I tell her all that daily. Yes, we are prob spoiling her a little bit, but how do you say no to a sweet precious little baby? Anyways, I'm sure reality will set in when she gets brothers and sisters, so i don't mind spoiling her a little now when she's my only baby ;) She is not quite crawling yet, she prefers to have mommy get everything she needs or take her where she wants, but she can roll around pretty darn fast if she wants. She smiles tons and she wrinkles her little nose up when she is amused or getting upset. She babbles all day long and can say "mama" (my favorite!) but of course mostly says it when she's mad. She definitely loves her sleep! She still takes three hour-and-a-half long naps every day, and she is now sleeping through the night, from 8pm to 6 or 7 am. I'm definitely appreciating that! I can't believe I've already had 8 wonderful months with my precious little girl, and that I only have four more until she officially becomes a toddler! What a joy it is to be a mommy :) Joy all around! Makes me excited for the Christmas season!

On Friday we went to a pumpkin patch to take pics and get a punkin, and on Saturday we went to two parades! First the Livestock and Heritage Festival parade, that one had the sheep (they run them down main street, I thought it was neat, but Noelle hated the sheep) and then the Homecoming parade. The best part is that they were both right by our house. No walking or fighting crowds :)

7 Months Old!

I don't have any pictures to upload unfortunately. She is getting more and more adorable. We were over at the church a few nights ago, and we set Noelle on the floor to let her play. Within a few minutes, she had rolled like ten feet away. She gets her crazy skills from her father. Here's to hoping that she never stops melting our hearts.

Absence of Blogging

So sorry it has been so long since we have posted anything, especially pics of our dear sweet Noelle. We are so busy with school and since we don't have internet or a compy at home we have to go to the library at school to get online. Whenever I do get to the library I usually have so much work to do that there is just no time for blogging. But I will try to dedicate some time soon to put up pics of Noelle and some video. She is growing so fast! It is so exciting, but of course bittersweet too, to see my little bundle of a baby slowly disappearing, and this fun little personality emerging :) What a blessing she is to us. I love you my baby!
