First Day of Preschool

Noah started preschool today. He was excited, but just a little nervous. Of course, his nervousness did not stop him from being cheesy for the camera.

Cheesy is the word of the day

We went to Atascadero for Aunt Jennifer and Ron's wedding. It was nice, but very hot!!

















Q: What do Noah and Jaxon have in common?



















A: They are both cheesy!

Playing with Playdough and Mommy Cried Once Again

Mommy went back to work this week. It was very rough. Lola and Noah weren't upset at all, but Mommy cried all the way to work. Luckily, work was busy and it kept Mommy's mind occupied. Mommy misses her babies while she is at work, but is happy to be having adult conversations. Plus, it is very nice to have Memaw taking care of Noah and Lola (we are so blessed as a family).






We took these pics when we were all playing with playdough... Lola liked stepping on the dough and making footprints. She is already getting very big and prefers to "sit" or better yet, "stand".

Noah is still a great big brother and loves Lola to death. In fact, he wants 2 more babies (one boy and one girl). We have been trying to explain to him that he will have to get more cousin babies, not siblings.

Noah is also looking forward to Daddy being off work for the summer. He has a great time with Daddy - especially when they go to Monster Park or Duck Park. My guess is these are things that Lola will soon enjoy also.

Just Some Pics

Just plain cute...

The Day Mommy Cried

Lola had her 2 month check-up and she is growing like a weed. She now weighs 10 pounds 14 ounces. Her head is 38 cm and she is now 22 inches long. That means she has gained one ounce per day for the last 38 days. In addition, she has grown 1.75 inches and her head is now 2 centimeters bigger. She is in the 50th percentile in all growth parameters - meaning she is exactly average (but as a person, we all know she is well above average:).

It was a tough visit. She got 4 vaccines (it would have been 5, but they were out of the other one). Daddy held her while mommy cried. Mommy can give shots to other peoples kids, but not her own. Lola cried, but quieted quickly afterward (much more quickly than Mommy). She looked funny with 4 big girl band aids on her legs (that didn't leave much leg left). She slept most of the day, and the next day seemed back to normal.

Luckily for Mommy, Daddy will be on summer vacation when the next set of shots are due...

S-M-I-L-E

Gamma and Pops

Gamma and Pops came to visit for the day - boy was Noah excited. Of course, why shouldn't he be? He got Nachos for breakfast, then he got to go to the zoo and see all of the animals. Lola slept in the sling the whole time and hardly knew that she had taken her first trip there.

Then, Noah got McDonalds for lunch and then they were off to Chuckie Cheese. Mommy and Lola stayed home (Noah thinks only Gammas, Pops, and Aunties can take him to the "rathouse". Finally, Noah's day ended with Sushi and kid chopsticks. To Noah this day was almost as good as Christmas!!

Here is a pic of Noah at the zoo. The other pics were after we got home.

Also, for those of you who think that pictures frighten Lola - trust me - she always looks like that. She has HUGE eyes!!
