Cutest Little Pilgrim...

I may be a little biased but I think Noah might be the cutest little pilgrim ever. When we picked Noah up from school on Tuesday his teachers had made him this little hat. Everytime we put it on Noah he would smile so big and laugh so hard. He never tried to take it off eventhough he hasn't worn a hat since he was a week old.

We're so thankful for our little pilgrim!!

Rice cereal...

ell, we've started trying to eat rice cereal. Noah hated it at first but he's getting the hang of it. Some of the cereal actually winds up being swallowed....although most of it is spit up within the next 30 minutes or so. The picture above is the first time Noah sat in his booster seat.

Trying to grab the spoon....

This is something different!!

By the third bite Noah was definitely having second thoughts!

When can I have some more??

SIC EM BEARS!!!!

Baylor 41 A&M 21

5 months....

Noah is 5 months old. I cannot believe it. His little personality is starting to develop and we are loving watching him learn new things.

He now rolling front to back and back to front. He immediately reaches for his bottle when he sees it. He laughs and smiles all the time. He loves to be tickled and bounced. Favorite things this month include the exersaucer and playing with/sucking on his own feet. He's also become really interested in Monty and the other kids at his school.

He's growing like crazy. I had to sort through his dresser and closet and put away so many little baby clothes. Most of his 3-6 month clothes already don't fit anymore. Josh put Noah is a sleeper the other night that used to swallow him. It was way too small so we were changing it out and of course it got stuck on his head. Noah just laughed and laughed.

Sic Em Bears!!!

We also took Noah to his first Baylor football game. We had great seats thanks to Noah's Uncle Mark. Mark is a Missouri fan so things got a little interesting since the Bears were actually competitive.

For Homecoming the football team came through the stands and ran out onto the field through the freshman who make up the Baylor line. It was really cool.

Noah did great at the game. He took a bottle. He took a nap and slept through all of halftime.

The fans got pretty noisy (for a Baylor game) and Noah got a little stressed at first but then seemed to enjoy it.

And although the Bears were behind when time ran out, we had fun and made some great memories with our future Bear.

SIC EM BEARS!!!!

Homecoming Parade...

I was so excited about Homecoming this year. I loved bringing Noah to Baylor, a place so special to us, for the first time.

And Noah decked out in his green and gold (and several outfits with bears on them) was ready to "catch that Baylor spirit."

I saw this quilt at Homecoming last year when I had just found out I was pregnant. I knew our baby had to have it and was so excited when I found one in a store in Garland. I'd been saving it so that our first time to use it was at Homecoming. Noah was all cuddled up in it as he watched the parade roll through campus.

And of course Homecoming is really about hanging out with old friends....
