Noah eats solids!




Noah had his first experience eating solids on Wednesday! I baked a sweet potato for him and added some breast milk. He seemed to love it! As you can see in the last picture he's kind of wondering where the rest of the food is, like he wants more. I'm having fun making his food and feeding it to him .... this is only the beggining!

Noah's been tagged! (by Kamdin)

This list won't be too extensive since Noah is only 6 month old, but here are 8 things about our Nobi J:

1. Noah loves to be tickled, but not with your hands, only with your teeth!

2. Noah has slept throught the night since he was 7 weeks old and sleeps about 9 to 10 hours at night now..... we are so blessed!

3. When Noah was born, he had the cord wrapped around his neck and he was grabbing it with his hand. Once the Dr unwrapped the cord and took it from his grasp, he reached out and grabbed it back :)

4. Noah has his own gmail account! It is: noahfrechette@gmail.com. He likes to email his grandma and grandpa from time to time :)

5. Noah has a really big toe! He has hobbit feet just like his daddy :)

6. Noah loves his jumperoo and when he get's really excited, he jumps with two feet instead of one and he really gets some air :)

7. Noah doesn't know it yet but he's going to like soccer (according to me), wrestling (according to his daddy), and snowboarding :)

8. Noah likes it when I read to him. He will actually sit and listen and watch as I turn the pages!

So there's a little about our precious Noah. Noah is now tagging Logan Skeem and Luke Sheffield!

Memorial Day

We had an eventful memorial day weekend. Our friends Bo and Andria came down to visit and celebrate their 5th anniversary, so we hung out with them and had a good time.
Luke had the day off yesterday and so he worked on the back yard a bit and extended our fence. I'll show more of the back yard later.
Noah woke up from his nap with a mark on his arm which had me cringing because I'm pretty sure it is a spider bite (yuck). Earlier that day I was putting him down for his nap and thought I felt a spider crawl on my back, but searched tirelessly to no avail (when I see a spider in the house, it must die as soon as possible!). Luckily the bite wasn't serious, although it had me worried.
Last night my mom was gracious enough to come over in the evening, even though she had to be to work early today, to watch (and play with) Noah while Luke and I had our first real date since Noah was born. We went and saw Indiana Jones and had a good time. About a half hour into the movie we started saying to each other, "I wonder what Noah is doing?". I knew he was in good hands, but I was anxious to get home as soon as the movie ended. I always heard those stories from other moms, about their first time away from their baby and how they couldn't fully enjoy whatever it is they were doing, now I can relate! Nonetheless, it was nice going on a date with my man! Thanks Mom!

Our Hawaii Trip

Saturday, May 17, 2008

Aloha!


We just got back from Hawaii last night after a ten day stay and we had a wonderful time! We stayed on the Big Island with a friend of a friend who had a guest house and they also gave us a jeep to drive around in. Their place was up in the mountains a bit which was nice and cool, very tropical and lush. It was great to go there after a hot day at the beach! While there we hung out with friends, Luke went surfing, I celebrated my first mothers day :) and we celebrated Luke's 30th birthday!!! Noah did really well on the plane and had everyone laughing! We are in Portland right now with Luke's family and we'll be headed home to A-town tomorrow, so I'll be posting some pics as soon as I can.
