BIG BOY!

Noah continues to amaze me with his giant-ness! He is closing in on 17 pounds at 4.5 months old. He currently weighs more than Annalise did when she turned 1! Now he is old enough to start enjoying some tasty rice cereal and baby food which has been a big hit. He has a lot of eating to do to maintain his linebacker-like body.

Here is a picture of him in Annalise's doll stroller again. Look how much he has grown since the last time he went for a ride in the doll stroller! It is hard to tell but now the little canopy on the top of the stroller won't even close while he is in it.

Now:
Mid-May:

Here are some pictures of Noah thoroughly enjoying his first bites of rice cereal. He even opens his mouth to wait for the spoon. Feeding him is a much different experience from when we first fed Annalise.





The Musical Stylings of Annalise

We have a ukulele that belonged to Jon's Dad while he was in the Korean War. Annalise found it in a closet in Jon's office and now she thinks she has a guitar that is just her size! She especially loves playing it with a pick. Here she is rockin out!

Smiling Noah

For the past few weeks Noah has been having lots of stomach problems (we think) that have been making him very fussy and grumpy. I think that he is starting to get better. He has been flashing us lots of sweet smiles. It is surprising to me how different he looks from Annalise. His eyes are so big and brown.


Noah also enjoyed his first swim while we were in The Woodlands. He really liked floating in his tube.

Wild Woman!

We visited my parents for the weekend of the 4th. Fun was has by all, especially Annalise!



She had tons of fun riding her "bike" down my parent's driveway. It freaked me out a little bit because I kept picturing her having a big wipe out and then she would be "that flowergirl covered in scabs" in my brother's wedding next weekend.

Here are some pictures of the fun...


She also had more wild woman fun in the pool-
Here is one last picture of her I really like. She has such a fun and spunky personality!
