Happy Birthday Isabella!!

Isabella had her birthday on Saturday May 10th and turned 2 years old. We bought her a ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins and shared it with some close friends and their kids. Isabella & Peyton will have a birthday party together later this summer.

Naomi Ruth

Naomi at 2 days old.

Here is our precious daughter who is now almost 5 weeks old. I cannot believe it has gone by so fast. She seems to grow daily and does new things all of the time. She now smiles when I talk to her and that melts my heart and brings me so much joy at the same time.

On a rare occasion, I can actually get her to sleep somewhere besides my arms. Now that I am actually getting a little bit more sleep, I am getting ready to put her on a schedule. I have not done it yet due to my desire to better establish her food supply. This has been successful but has been hard as she likes to eat every 1 & 1/2 hrs. to 2 hrs. Sometimes she will go longer. We will start on a 2 & 1/2 hr. schedule and see how it goes. Please pray that she will adjust well.

Beauty Sleep :)

Naomi had her 1st bath last Sunday morning. She didn't like it at first but after a few minutes in the water she was better. She seems to enjoy the shower much better as that was her experience prior to the bath.

Fun bath pictures. Notice the red in her hair. We hope it stays!

It's Time...

Well...we decided to join all you bloggers. It seems to be a great way to keep up with everyone when you can't talk with them daily. I (Noelle) really enjoy reading everyone elses and seeing all the great pictures of your various family's.


Our family is doing great! We are still tredding the vast waters of transition. Our kids are growing fast and are learning how to be older sibblings to Naomi Ruth. Peyton seems to love her very much and is always wanting to touch her or kiss her or hug her. He is a great BIG brother and has already been asking for a baby brother. Yikes! Bella Joy is just now starting to like her. She has definitley been subject to jealousy and emotional ups and downs. I was positive that if she understood enough, she would of sold Naomi to the first person she could of. It probaby would of been to our good friend Mrs. Ferrill :). In due time, Bella will more understand the joy's of being a BIG sister.

Here are some recent pictures to enjoy!!
