Baby's First Thanksgiving

Noah celebrated his first Thanksgiving this year in El Dorado at Aunt Tristyn's and Uncle Tony's. GG (Grandma Grace) flew in Monday night before Thanksgiving to spend some time with us all and enjoy the holiday.

Robbie's grandma couldn't get enough of her great grandson.

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated. With a trip to Arkansas and Thanksgiving in the past 2 weeks, we have been busy!

The weekend before Thanksgiving we headed to Robbie's hometown for a "Sip and See". I had actually never heard of this before, but it is basically a come and go type occasion where you get to show off your new baby.

The rest of the weekend went spent time with Robbie's parents, Grandma, and Uncle. We had a wonderful time and Noah did so well on the 8 hour (0ne-way) trip! Of course Kaylee did too because she is the best traveler anyone could ask for. Here are a few pics of our fun times.

Our babies are growing up...

It was a great night...Noah slept through the night for the very first time!! We were so excited when we woke up this morning and realized we had not been up AT ALL in the middle of the night. He fell asleep about 10:45p (Robbie got home late) and Robbie got up at 5 this morning like normal. Noah was still asleep. I got in the shower at 5:45a and somewhere around 6a Noah started fussing and Robbie let him out of his swaddle. He was then wide awake and happy as could be! I told Noah "that's what happens when you sleep through the night....you wake up happy!"

On another note...I don't know why this hit me today, but I dropped Kaylee off at school this morning like I always do. She gives Noah and I kisses, we tell her to have a good day, and then she hops out. I roll down the window and say, "I love you" and this morning she said to me, "I love you, Mommy. I'll see you after school." I sat there for a few seconds while I watched her walk up the sidewalk to the school and tears began to fall. I just realized at that point how much she has grown up. She has changed so much in the past year, even in the last few months. It was just one of those moments this morning that I said, "Wow, where has the time gone?"

BIG Boy!!

Just thought I'd write a quick update on Noah's appointment yesterday. He weighed 12 lbs. 4 oz.! That's a gain of 3 1/2 pounds since birth...I couldn't believe it. They didn't tell me his height but he is in the 50% percentile on all measurements, weight, height, and his head measurement. Maybe he did get some Pierce genes on the height...we'll see ;) As for the shots...I loved the nurse but she went too slow in between each one. He let out a few goods screams and his face turned the color of a tomato. But like the good boy that he is he stopped crying as soon as it was over and was smiling by the time I put his clothes back on him. At least we got through the first round!

Fun with more cousins!

My cousin, Suzanne, and her girls, Megan and Tatum, were here for about a week from Phoenix. We had so much fun hanging out with them! We took the girls to see High School Musical 3 because Kaylee and Megan are crazy about it. We had the entire theater to ourselves!! Kaylee and Megan are only 12 days apart and really enjoy playing together. Tatum is "Miss Personality" and does a good job of keeping up with the big girls. Since Kaylee had yesterday off of school, we enjoyed pop-in playtime at Pump It Up along with Sophie, Amy, and Ian.

WHAT FUN!

8 weeks old!

So...it's been a while since I updated but Noah is now 8 weeks old. This means he has to get shots tomorrow :( I'm sure I will be more upset than him. Here is a pic from his 8 week birthday bath last night. Tell me he doesn't look exactly like his daddy!

Hannah Montana and the penguin!

We spent our Halloween morning at Kaylee's parade and class party. Then for the evening we headed to El Dorado to the Hallelujah Carnival at First Baptist. It was a blast!
