Noah's first real snow
Today was Noah's first REAL snow, as in, covers the grass and everything. We ran out this morning, snapped a few shots and ran back in. The pictures aren't the greatest, but it was 15 degrees, so I rushed it a little. Plus, I'm just not a photographer. Besides, these are about memories, not art, right? Note the sledders in the background... wish we could go join them! Alas, he's a bit young.

Fun on the floor
It's more fun under the activity mat than on it... followed by big grins from the cutie patootie.
Random Shots
I'm not sure wrenches are approved teethers...

Naked Noah
I hope these aren't too inappropriate, but the fat rolls are just SO irresistible!! He's about to be too old for naked pictures. I'd better get 'em while I can.
Happy New Year!
Happy 2009!! I think I can say 2008 was our most eventful year yet - the year you have your first child probably qualifies. Not only did we welcome Noah to the world, but we also met Summer Everett and a handful of other sweet new babies (and now we're waiting to meet Ana Paula's little one and Crystal's new addition and Christina's long awaited munchkin). We also managed to fit in a great "babymoon" to beautiful Kauai, Hawaii.
With the help of other moms, I started a successful Young Mothers Bible Study. I also joined a moms' walking group. It's doing me a lot of good to be out and about and socializing. I participated in National Novel Writing Month, although I got nowhere close to finishing my novel. I'm still writing and still waiting on word from my most recent publication effort. When I finally publish a book, I expect all of you to buy it, even if you're old and gray and have to take it out of your Social Security!
Noah is doing well. He's sitting up now, eating solid foods, babbling constantly, rolling over - all the little milestones he's supposed be hitting. He has two little tiny teeth on the bottom. He loves oatmeal, tolerates sweet potatoes and spits out peas. (He's getting better though.) He's now six and a half months old, 20 pounds and 27 inches. He has an 18 inch head! The doctor even wants to see him again to make sure there's nothing wrong with his head. What a thing to tell a mom! He just has the big Howard head, that's all. We're in the process of trying to get him to go to sleep on his own and sleep through the night - which means letting him "cry it out" sometimes. Sad! I don't like it, but once he learns to comfort himself and sleep on his own, we'll all feel better.
We're looking forward to seeing what this new year has to bring - hopefully some parttime teaching for me, a family vacation to Colorado, complete with whitewater rafting, the big 3-0 birthday for Danny. Who knows what else is in store?
God bless you all!

What's with the squinting?
This was the first day he started doing this - he does it a lot now and I'm still not sure what it means. Is he in pain? Do his eyes bother him? Or is he just having fun squeezing his eyes shut?
