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....

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I  am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

State Fair

We took our annual State Fair trip. We went on a Friday that I was tracked-out and Jeff took the day off. I was super excited to go because it was Naomi's first time at the fair!  From the moment we walked onto the fairgrounds Naomi couldn't stop staring at all of the people! I had to get a picture of her with the HUGE pumpkin. Of course she was more enthralled with the eggplant... Then we went to look at the animals. She had a better view from on top of Jeff's shoulders: My favorite picture of the day: We went into the bunny building because we obviously love bunnies. They had a Lionhead bunny out that we could pet. As soon as I put Naomi down she started to reach for the bunny. The bunny let Naomi pet her for quite a long time! Naomi laughed, smiled, and giggled the whole time. We could have stayed in there for hours and she'd be entertained! I wish we could have gotten it on video!  Next we stopped for the delicious corn and ...
