Naomi Update

So being a full time mom, wife, and teacher sure makes keeping up with blogging a lot more difficult. Because I have MLK day off I can let you all know how Naomi is doing...several months late :)



*Naomi had been eating solids for one month by this point. She likes sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and puffs a lot. 
*She has 2 bottom teeth. Nigh time was NOT fun while these little boogers decided to pop through her gums! Thankfully she is doing better now that they're through!
*She's a little fish in the water, just like her mommy!


*Naomi had to go to the doctor because she was sick (which is the only reason we knew her weight). Thankfully she's feeling better now!
*She was pulling up on shelves and people at this point to stand. She would occasionally pull up on toys.
*Naomi doesn't like for me to feed her much any more. She likes small finger foods like sweet potato or butternut squash sticks. She also likes black beans and bananas!
*She's starting to get more teeth-but I'm not sure which ones. She is chewing on EVERYTHING in sight though!
*She celebrated her first Thanksgiving and Christmas! She enjoyed unwrapping presents a lot!


*Naomi is a peanut. She is 29% for weight and 4% for height. I figured with a tall dad she'd never be this low for  height, but maybe a growth spurt is coming? ...
*Naomi is standing up on ANYTHING! The wall, my leg, the side of the couch, her walking toy, a door...any-thing!
*Because she is a very fast crawler it is difficult to catch her eating something she shouldn't if Jeff or I are preoccupied (like cooking dinner or putting dishes away). So far she's tried to eat bunny food, a washer, dirty tissues, trash, dirty silverware out of the dishwasher, and many other fun things that I'm not going to admit to online :)
*We've been able to hang out with other babies recently and Naomi tries to 'pet' them but it ends up being a smack in the face most of the time. Hopefully we'll learn to be gentle soon!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books,  you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Katie

The last three weeks have been a bit of a whilrwind for my family. We found out that my sister, Katie, had stage 3 ovarian cancer. She went into the ER because she was having pains in her abdomen, and they found a football sized tumor. My sister is such a strong woman and was walking around the day after her surgery that removed the tumor! Katie decided to have some fun with her hair before her chemo treatments start. It's a good thing that we have a sister that is a hairdresser, she can do so many fun things to hair. This is what Katie looked like to start: Here is Lauren applying bleach to Katie's hair: Here is Katie as a blonde....I never thought I'd see one of my sisters EVER with blonde hair. I like the analogy she used...she said she looked like Orlando Bloom in Lord of the Rings. :) All the fun colors for Katie's hair: The final product: Please pray for Katie as she starts her first chemo treatment today! Love you sister w...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won!  Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
