BIG MILESTONE ...... Noelle rolled over at Patty's ....... 5 times!!!! She rolled over from belly to back. I think she was fighting sleep, and wasn't a happy camper - so she built up enough UMPH to roll herself over!! YEA to rolling over..... BOO to being fussy. I guess that is what little angels do, right?!? hehehe!!!

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Kirkpatrick's this past weekend for grandpa's 70th birthday! Noelle is a lucky gal. Her cousins are so much help, and have so much fun with her, as do the rest of the family!!! She met a few new faces too! Great Uncle Ralph, Great Aunt Marie, Great Aunt Ruth and 2nd Cousin Carolyn.

Noelle goes for her 3rd round of shots next week. Daddy took her last time, but we're both going this time. I have a bunch of questions for Dr. Marx regarding Noelle being six months. Wow are there are a bunch of things that can change when you hit the six month mark! She can start eating baby food, possibly skipping a bottle in the middle of the night etc...... Very exciting time for Miss Noelle - she's a BIG GIRL!!!!

She hit yet another milestone last week ..... Her first tooth is coming in! She's been a bit more fussy at night, as we're sure her gums are pretty sore. Poor wittle baby :( We give her infant Tylenol and/or Orajel to sooth the pain. It helps most of the time.... but we feel at times.... the pain really gets to her and neither work. (This too shall pass).

Boy is she a "grabber"! Anything you have within reach of her.... she wants it in her hand, then in her mouth! We're a bit more careful these days ... another learning curve for mommy & daddy! She loves to grab hair, earrings, necklaces, hair, books, glasses, hair :) Are ya pickin up what I'm putting down?!? HAHA!!!

She starting blabbing "ba ba" and "da da" a few weeks ago.... BUT we haven't heard it since?!? Kinda weird. She said both blabs, everyday, for about a week... and has since decided to stop. Not sure why? Personally, I think she stopped because she didn't feel "da da" was the right thing to say first.... I'm SURE she'd rather say "Ma Ma".... I mean it IS more soothing to the ears, right?!? I think she works on "ma ma" when we're not around. So basically one day, VERY SOON I might add, she's gonna blab out "MA MA!!", and everyone is going to be elated with JOY!!!! (Well, everyone except daddy). HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Sorry honey ..... just warnin ya :)

One thing that came to my mind this past week. You know how a lot of new mom's and dad's are asked "So what is the biggest change in your life since having a baby?" Ryan's response: (and I asked him)..... "Our lives completely revolve around Miss Noelle". My response "I never dreamed I'd be doing this much laundry in my LIFE!!!". Thank goodness I LOVE doing laundry.... NOT. Hey... just sayin.
