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!

Grandkids Make Life Grand

While perusing Pinterest one day I came across this really good idea:   I thought to myself that both my mom and Jeff's mom would really like this! So the crafting began. First I painted a wood board the colors that both ladies wanted. My mom wanted yellow and purple and Jeff's mom wanted tan and red. Next I played around until I found the right size for the letters. Then I cut them out of vinyl on my handy-dandy Cricut: I got some contact paper and lifted up the vinyl letters: Then I lined the letters up on the wood and attached: This is just me making sure that all of the edges are pushed down: And viola! The words are finished! To finish I added a ribbon on the back, ribbon flowers, and small clothes pins to hang pictures with. The final touch was adding pictures of the grandkids. After making this Jeff and I decided that we really liked it...so I might be making something similar for ourselves!

Paddling through Brunswick Stew

Last weekend was quite an exciting one for Jeff and me. Ashley and Neil came up Friday and stayed at our house that night. We love having friends come over, especially when we don't get to see them very often! The next morning we headed up to the Hester family farm that's in Virginia. The Hester clan was having a get-together because a family friend was teaching how to make Brunswick Stew. Now, when I think of Brunswick Stew I immediately think of Smithfield's. Probably because that's the only place I've actually eaten some...yes-I'm not a southerner. When we arrived at the house I was a little surprised to see this: Brunswick Stew cooking outside in a 5 gallon pot that was being stirred by Uncle Mac with a boat paddle. Ok-it's not really a boat paddle, but it sure resembles one! This was the true southern way to make Brunswick Stew, I was told by the other man in the picture (Mr. George). Mr. George also told me that he had a 30 gallon pot to make ...

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:
