Good Morning!

I've wanted to post a bit of video on here for ages, and finally took some this morning. Naomi is all smiles when she wakes up--enjoy!

Snow Day!

Here in Roanoke, we had the first significant accumulation of snow in 2 years. Four inches, which "down here" is enough to close all schools, cancel many other events, and send Paul home from work after just a few hours. We had fun outdoors with Naomi, and enjoyed the extra time at home together. Hooray for snow days!

Growing growing growing!

I can't believe how quickly time goes by with Naomi in our lives. You'd think I'd be able to do so many different things while at home during the day, but somehow it just doesn't happen that way! Naomi is growing and thriving and is, of course, as cute as ever! Her current favorite passtimes are: sucking on her feet, bathtime, grabbing everything to shove into her mouth, kisses on her cheeks and tummy, and giggling, squealing, & babbling away. She actually rolled from her back to her stomach on the 5th, but hasn't done it again since. Maybe this is because she does NOT like "tummy time" and wasn't particularly pleased to find herself in that position! Here are just a few pictures from the last month or so.

One of my favorite naptime pics!

This is actually from mid-November when she was first really holding rattles, etc. Now she is quite good at grasping toys or anything else she can reach, switching from hand to hand, and of course "tasting" each and every thing!

Cute smile in one of my old shirts that my mom saved and washed up for us!

This is Naomi, Mona, Ian, and Hannah at brunch in early December. We have had a good time keeping in touch with some of our natural childbirth classmates and the newest additions!

Out shopping in Charlottesville for one of Naomi's Christmas present. She loved being carried in our pretty woven wrap.
Bathtime fun!

Christmas Eve with cousins Rayna and Kyle. I need to get some more Christmas pictures from my family though, because it seems that we took some video, but they got the good still shots...
