Amanda and I had so much fun with our babies today!!!

Aren’t they precious?

Bailey loved playing with all of his super cool toys…

And Noelle made herself right at home…

Bailey loves little Noelle almost as much as we do!

She’s a honey!

We are so proud of you, Aunt E!

Mike and Mo enjoying a date night at Elizabeth’s graduation party!

You are going to be the best neo-natal ICU nurse in the world – you have such a great heart and compassionate spirit, the babies at Cook are blessed to have you watching over them. We love you so much!!!

Every time Daddy gives Noelle Eskimo kisses, she starts talking like you wouldn’t believe – oh wait, we’ll just let you guys hear for yourself! Also, we videoed her rolling over this afternoon. She can roll both ways, left to right and right to left. She most often rolls starting from her back, but occasionally she rolls from tummy to back too! We are so proud of her! Way to grow little Noelle! We love you more than you will ever know…

Enjoy the video! Let us know what you think…

Mom and Dad came through Dallas on their way to Chicago on a vacation with Michele and Andy. Boy it was so good to see them and eat some great Mexican food!

Mike and I realized after we got home and uploaded the pictures in Picasa, BOTH of us were wearing the same outfits we had on the last time Mom and Dad took us out to eat in May… HAHA!

We had a home group reunion tonight because the Albaneses were in town. It was great seeing everyone and catching up. I am so impressed to hear many are reading Blue Like Jazz… if you haven’t read that book, it’s awesome! By the way, I hope to start journaling in the general section soon about what I am currently reading. Be looking for that within the next few weeks or so – can’t wait for you guys to know what’s running through my little head.

As promised, here are the pictures of Noelle’s crib!

I just had to put Princess Froggie Pond in the picture! (:

I love the fringe!!! We worked so hard, but it is totally worth it because of how special it is to be able to tell Noelle that her Mommy made her bedding. My Granny would be so proud!!!

Noelle LOVES to go look around in her closet! Thanks to everyone who gave us such beautiful things to put in it!

Noelle sleeping like an angel last night. Her colic is all better now; thanks to all of you for your prayers and love and support to help us get through the last few months. Noelle is so happy now, and we are so happy she is comfortable. She is an incredibly sweet baby and was such a good sport through the pain… now on to better days… and more nights like last night!

Last week, we had a great dinner at Olive Garden with Momma Kay, Grandma, Uncle Steve, and the three of us.

Noelle loves to be right in the center of it all! Very social baby…

Noelle enjoying her new crib… I need to take pics of the bedding so you guys can check it out.

Late night = happy baby!

Guess who saw you roll over first?  Daddy!  Daddy yelled for me to come watch.  We were both staring at you in disbelief.  You are barely three months old, and you are rolling over!  Cool girl… you are so strong and limber.  You twist and turn – it is so cool!  You have gotten so strong this past week – we can’t believe it.  You are such a sweet and playful baby!!!

This past weekend Mom and Michele came to Arlington to help me sew Noelle’s crib bedding. We made great progess, but man, it was a lot of hard work. I owe you girls, big time!

Noelle watches on as Mom and I cut fabric.

Noelle had to stay in the room to be where all the action was…

We set up camp for her so she could watch on Saturday too!

Yay! We finally finished the bed skirt!!!

Noelle is constantly smiling now – we could just eat her up.

Mom said if anyone asks where you got your bedding, say, “A specialty shop called ‘Three Girlfriends,’ but they just went out of business!” Thanks Mom and Michele!!!
