She’s Flippin’ Crazy… April 21, 2009

Noe’s on the moooooove now, flipping over from her tummy to her back. She mastered the skill — at least while an eye witness was watching — at 14 weeks. Joe spotted evidence of it Friday. Since then, I saw it happen Sunday and again today. We’ll try to catch video of it soon. Her technique is pretty cute to watch!

Last week made for some awesome stroller weather here in the 6-5-1. We were out for walks every day. It’s amazing to watch her take it all in: the blue sky, trees, wind, sunshine, the sound of birds chirping…  a poor little “winter baby” cooped up inside and finally able to discover the natural world. She can’t get enough of the outside world and I really can’t blame her.

We also hit up my new favorite place to take Noe, a local coffee shop called Java Train. Special thanks to Mike and Stacy for introducing us to this family friendly cafe not far from our house. We love the atmosphere and yummy scones, and Noe loves watching all the other kids. Each time we come home from that place, Joe and I talk about how relaxed we feel.

I have a bunch of pics to share from this past week. Regrettably, though, I forgot to snap pics of Noe with her babysitters from last Friday night, my brother Mike and sister-in-law Cindi. Darn! She’s a lucky little one to have them close by. I consider Auntie Cindi a true “baby expert” and an experienced mom I will call on FREQUENTLY for advice. Love you, woman!

The latest, greatest photo installment:

Playing with one of her favorites right now, “P.J. Bear.” She’s getting so good at holding things with her hands and moving them how she wants…

We’re on the go again… Noe says, “Where we headin’ this time, Mom?!”

At Java Train, where we met up with Mike, Tess and Ruby

Ruby says, “PUH-lease, enough with the cameras already… We KNOW we’re cute!”

Yep, on the go another day… It’s colder out so we’re rockin’ the warm hat. Noe says, “What’cha lookin’ at?!”

A sight that made me SMILE BIG today… Finally packing up my maternity clothes and storing them in the basement. It took me long enough, but I’ve successfully reclaimed my closet from all stretchy-panel type clothing. Whew.
