Keeping Up With The Christensens

The latest from our world in MSP

Alas, D-A-D Homecoming April 7, 2009

Filed under: Family and Friends, Noë V, Weekend Revelry — JR-C @ 2:16 pm

Joe came home on Sunday! That’s a big, collective “YAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!” and has been cause for lots of excitement at our house.

In other news from this past week, Noe attended her first bridal shower and survived her very first road trip to get there (it was held in Rochester, in honor of cousin Brian’s fiance, Rory). Aunties Katelyn and Allie road along with Noe and I and were a HUGE help. Good thing Rochester is only 90 minutes away.

We’re anxious to know how much Noe weighs. At her last doctor appointment March 25, she tipped the scales at 10 lbs., 11 oz.  She’s also working on some teeth. Yes, that’s right. I’ve been remiss not to mention it before, since the symptoms (sucking her hands and drooling up a storm) started back in the ninth week. She’s not pushing a tooth through, but the teething pain is there and her gums are really bugging her. As a result, I had to open up the teething toys, wash them and pop them in the fridge sooner than I expected. She sports big smiles when you take a cooled teething toy and rub it on her gums.

Other than that, we are enjoying some family time with the three of us at home in the mornings and waiting for the weather to continue warming up. We are dying to take the stroller for a spin in our neighborhood. Looks like this will finally be the week, with the temps creeping into the 50s again.

Welcoming Daddy home Sunday morning!

    Hey Julie,

    I’ve been keeping up with you, Noe and Joe on your blog and I too can’t wait to finally take the stroller out and brake it in this week. Maybe we can get together and take our babies for a walk sometime…just let me know. I think the cohort wants to see the babies too, maybe a mass email is in the cards? :)
    Cheers!

    In picture number 3 is Noe giving you the “Mom, you’re interrupting my time with dad” look?
