Funny Story

I have to give some background information on this story first: lately Naomi has a facination with putting things (any and everything she touches) in her mouth. She also likes to take her pacifier in and out of her mouth, but hasn't quite mastered putting it back in her mouth the right way...sometimes she puts it back in crooked, or backwards, etc.

Anyways...Adam was home with Naomi today and called me today while I was at work. He was trying to get our kitchen floor (some Pergo) down and was going back and forth from the house to the garage to make cuts on some of the flooring pieces. Naomi was in her swing.

He was out in the garage when all of the sudden he heard Naomi SCREAMING. He ran inside all alarmed and found her in her swing with her pacifier in her mouth sideways...STUCK. Her mouth was stuck opened with the plastic part of the pacifier lodged in there...and she was T-I-C-K-E-D! Poor little gal.

Memorial Day Weekend at the A-frame!

For Memorial Day weekend we went to the cabin, aka, the "A-frame" on the river and had a nice relaxing time. My parents and brother met us there.

This past weekend was a weekend of many "firsts" for our little girl:

-It was our first over-nighter with Naomi.
-She got her first couple bug bites, including a black fly that made her poor little ear bleed.
-My mom and I gave Naomi her first pedicure.
-Naomi ROLLED OVER for the first time! (the day before her 5 month birthday might I add.)

Big stuff, right?!

Playing Catch Up.

Ok, so clearly I have not been keeping up with this as well as I should be. So I'm going to play a little game of catch up and resolve to do better in the future (we'll see how that goes).

So more on little baby cousin RaeAnn Marie! We've had fun getting to know her over the past few weeks. I see a future of fun play dates for her and Naomi when they get a wee bit older. For now though, she's doing what new babies do best, being stinkin' cute, and here are some pictures to prove it:

Then there are these CUTE sweaters that my mom's co-worker Bonnie knit, what an awesome surprise it was to receive these!!! A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E:

The purple sweater is my absolute favorite

The turquoise sweater has Peter Rabbit buttons!

The matching hat was a little too big for Naomi...worked out nicely for me!

Let's not forget Naomi's 4 month old pictures:

(Quite the difference from her 4 WEEK photos)

We introduced Naomi to rice cereal recently, that was fun (messy). Also, we've noticed she really seems to know and respond to her name now. Pretty cool if you ask me.

My first Mother's Day was wonderful. We had dinner at our house with Adam's brother and sister-in-law, baby RaeAnn, his mom and sister Anna. Adam surprised me with a nice "first Mother's Day" gift too, a necklace I've been wanting, so sweet!

I know I mentioned before how Naomi has started squealing...well now she has started two new "noises". Instead of blowing raspberries, she does a quick spurt of air (combined often with spit). It kind of sounds like a cross between a cough and a sneeze. It's quite comical. She also has started grunting. It looks like she's trying to fill her pants - her face turns red and everything...but she's just doing it for her own enjoyment. Sounds like it hurts her throat!

I know I'm probably missing something, but this seems to be a good summary of the goings-on that I've missed.
