NOAH'S 4 Month Pics: (and those leading up)


Leading up:

This is the first night Noah slept in his crib and sharing a room with Mateo! They did great...and it was very quite in Mommy and Daddy's room. (Noah had been sleeping in a bassinet in our room up to this point.

This little outfit says "lil' cowboy" and Aunt Paula gave Noah these little cowboy boots to match the ones she gave Mateo. Also...look carefully...see how this outfit fits? There is a picture about a week later of the same outfit down lower...see the difference?

...week later

Papaw coming to visit!

Straight from a nap...( he is potty trained! But mommy does have him wear "sleep underwear" more for my sake than his...aren't I horrible!!)

Our store bought Christmas Tree ...yes we decorate it, but I dont' have any pics of that just video.

Family Portrait Studio Session 1.

Thanks to my other sister who works very hard and is very passionate about her work...I get her employee discount at Sears! Yeah Mindy!!! Too bad you aren't here to take the pictures! But thanks for all your advice! In these pictures Noah is 3.5 months (the end of Nov)... Keep in mind that this is the first time that we had taken Noah in since he was born ( I know... bad Mommy!) so this session was mostly about Noah and trying to get special ones with him! I know you probably get sick of reading this but...aren't my boys so precious??!! I'm sorry I just can't help being so proud of them and continually thankful that God chose all of us for a family!!

OUR ANGEL!!

Thanksgiving-
I don't seem to have barely any pictures from Thanksgiving...I have lots of video...we just had lots of family taking pics...if you are reading this and you know who you are...:) please share! We all went and spent Thanksgiving with my Grandparents at their house. My mom (Papaw had to work :( ) Melissa and John (up from Seattle), and ourselves all drove down to Kenai...we got to see our Uncle Tom and Aunt Sonja and their son (my cousin)Diamond and Uncle Rich. It was a precious time together! We also watched fireworks and went for Mateo's real first sledding experience! Great Grandpa pulled for the walk and then Aunt Missy, Daddy, and Mommy took turns going with Mateo down a few hills...there was only one "crash" with snow in the face...but don't ask Mateo about it ....now that a month has passed he has finally stopped talking about and blaming Aunt Missy and Uncle John for the "crash-boom". He is so dramatic sometimes...I don't know who he gets that from (he he he)

Here he is infront of Great Grandma and Grandpa's chairs. This is how and where he was set up when we were all casually eating (not all around the table). Doesn't he look like a little beach bum? Just a little to comfortable! :)

Saying Goodbye to Aunt Missy...thanks you two for coming up and visiting us again! We feel very privalaged that you spend all of your vacation time to come see all of us!

Since writing this draft Melissa sent me these Thanksgiving photos!! Thanks Aunt Missy!
