Noelle was allowed to try rice cereal this morning. It was a bit too runny to start and then we added some extra. She is very interested in eating and likes the spoon. We just have to keep the food in her! This afternoon we will try carrots! Copy and paste to watch the videos.

Random Noey
Our big girl has moved on up to her crib! She was getting too long for her basinett and when her feet would hit the edge she would get mad! She still scoots all over the crib at night, which we have no idea how she does it since we have her swaddled up! She is a worm! There are seven LARGE pieces of furniture in our bedroom now but thankfully they all fit! We are not ready to be on separate floors so we are sticking together!!
This is how she prefers to sleep but I don't want to be up every two minutes checking on her breathing so we only allow this for naps! She loves that minky cow blanket on her face!!
On February 16th Noey had her last bottle of breast milk. I was sad but then I remembered how freaking hard exclusively pumping was and I pushed the guilt away and said I did the best I could for her. Seriously, I thought it would be easy but it was by far the hardest thing I have ever done. I know our relationship suffered in the early days because I was literally always pumping. I could honestly write an entire post about the issue and I just might but here is my only documentation of the 900oz I stock piled for her in the freezer on top of what she got fresh. I wish I had a picture of our two freezers stuffed! May your IQ be high Noey Lynn!
"How much is that Noey in the window? Ruff! Ruff!" I know it's not a window and she isn't a dog but that is the song I sing to her anyways.
She is so beautiful!
She is getting so big and strong! She learns something new all the time and getting very good at holding toys and she wants to be in everyone's business! At her doctor visit today our new doc said she looked great and she is 13pounds and 14 ounces. She is 25.5 inches long! She gets to start food this weekend!
We have been blessed with a smiley, happy, giggly, content little baby. She is so snuggly and learning to give kisses! She holds her arms out for us sometimes and it is so nice to interact with her more and more.

Swimming!
Noey wasn't quite sure about that big bathtub when we arrived at the pool but it took her about 2 seconds to decide this was going to be a good time! She is such a cutie and loves the water. I'm looking forward to taking her every weekend! She'll be kicking and blowing bubbles before we know it!
Noey wore the orange suit her daddy picked out for her to her first lesson. She'll be going "tulip retro" next week!
Just hanging out waiting for class to start!
Taking a dive!

Noey's Valentine
Thanks everyone for all the fun Valentine's and presents for Noelle! Her little mail box was full and she got some cute outfits! She loves her Tenderheart Care Bear and her love bug teether. I've been going crazy on Ebay reliving my childhood and snatching up toys for her!
She came home from daycare with more Valentine's, cupcakes, and a balloon (the cats made short work of the ribbon!) It sounds more and more like little Ben is totally in love with Noelle and he even asked me if he could kiss her goodbye (on the cheek) the other day. It is so sweet. He sits and watches cartoons with her and is so soft and gentle with her. Joan says Ben is very tenderhearted and watches over our Noey Lynn.

Swimming Videos
Noelle had a great time at her first swim lesson! She is a little fish! Everyone commented on how good she was and how much she seemed to enjoy herself! The first and the fifth video you have to copy and paste to watch. Sorry!

Cutest Baby on the Block!
It's a 3 day weekend and I am stuck at home...sick. Really sick. I thought I was home free from my cold and then on Friday night, BAM! Evilness struck! I had a fever pushing 102 and I ended up sleeping my Saturday away! Dave is on baby duty until Monday night when the antiobiotics will have kicked in. It's tough for him as he isn't supposed to be bending! We pray Noey stays safe from this round of illness too! It's always something in the Little house!
So here to brighten my day and make me smile is my little bug. I'm not allowed to be near her so I have to look at pics.
She's getting so long!
Mother Theresa waves "hello" to her followers.
Then she started rappin and throwing gang signs...

Stats
We got a Red Cross digital scale today and Noey weighs in at 12lbs, 13 ounces and is 25 inches long! She will be 4 months old on Valentine's Day! She is going to be off the charts soon for height! She is still on track to be a tall and skinny girly!
She loves "standing" up now. She is holding her head really well and seems to have gotten very steady, very quickly! She's growing up! She giggles more and more with her ticklish arms and sort of ticklish belly. She loves it when I kiss her cheeks over and over and make smacking sounds. She just giggles at me! She is working on the belly laugh but right now it's still coming out like a cough!
She is all set for her first Valentine Party. Miss Joanie is making cupcakes and handing out balloons and we made goodie bags for the kids with candy and matchbox cars inside. Dave picked out a pink Cadillac for the little girl at daycare that comes just once a week. The other boys all got Jeep like cars! And he picked out the Iron Man valentine's too! Noey has 23 Iron Man valentine's left over if anyone wants one! LOL!
