First smiles

Here are some of Noomi's first smiles...well at least that I could capture on camera... she has been smiling and cooing for awhile! I think she look a lot like my brother for some reason. She definitely has some curry in her, unlike some of the others.

our flower

Our poor middle child only gets one picture dedicated to her this entry.... what a horrible mother and a mother that is a middle child should be more aware i would think. Ruthie already has a small case of the middle child syndrome....she often says when there is more than one of us sitting on the couch..."there is no room for me" She is such a special little thing....

funny faces

Elly Marta started wanting to make funny faces for the camera after my friend brooke was here. She decided that Noomi needed to be a part of that funny face making... they did a pretty good job!

Last Sunday

I was going to try to update at least once a week, but i failed all of you miserably. Little Noomi got her first ear infection this last week and it was a long week. She also had some wheezing in her chest, so we are also doing breathing treatments... so stupid. I couldn't believe it when the dr. said she had ear infection..... the next baby will come out of the womb with an ear infection... crazy. so anyways.. we are doing better now. It has been in the 90's here all week, so it doesn't feel like fall yet. Just today... the first day it isn't in the 90's.. YEAH!!!! Not that I have any pants that fit me! Gotta work on that..

I need a band-aid!

Anytime anything happens that could possibly cause pain, including spankings, Ruthie asks for a band-aid. the cure all for pain at our house. So today... her nose hurt, so she asked for a band-aid and this is what she came out looking like. the other are just a few shots of noomi today at mud island and elly m. needed her picture taken of course.
