Naomi can stand up...sort of

Naomi can stand for short periods of time on her own (well, with the support of another object)! But, she did fall over once. She also does an excellent job in her Exersaucer (thanks for the loan!) which she really loves. She spins around to play with all the different toys it has to offer, but she does get a little obsessed by a couple of the toys and has to be turned away from them from time to time.

Naomi's new room

Here are some pictures of Naomi's new room after being decorated (yeay for help from Yaya, Nana, and Grandpa!)

First Foods

Naomi had her first solid foods this week (7/20). Rice cereal with pears...yum! She did really well and seemed to enjoy it. She of course made a mess of herself, but that's to be expected.
Here she is in her high-chair after finishing her meal.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but she's covered from her head to her toes with the sticky stuff, she had to have a bath right afterwards.

Some News

Naomi had her 4 month well baby check up this week and she did very well. She is 14 lbs 10.5 ozs and is 25 inches tall. She is developmentally a 6 month old (our smart girl!) and will be starting solid food. We plan to start her on rice cereal on Saturday. I will post pictures of her first attempt next week.

More exciting news, we are house owners...again! Our house is finished and signed for. We won't be moving in until August because of our vacation, but that gives us more time to pack. Our Moms will be out there this week though painting Naomi's room (yeah!) and I'll post pictures ASAP.

4 Months!

Naomi is 4 Months old today!
First: Gurgling, rolled over from tummy to back (6-28), drinking from a sippy cup, turns towards voices and sounds, pets the kitty, sleeps in crib, sits without support for about 15 seconds.
For Naomi's first Father's Day we went to Sweet Tomatoes, a local salad and soup restaurant, of course you've already seen Michael's gift!
She is so alert and grabs everything that is placed in front of her, and once she has it, it always ends up in her mouth, so we're learning to be careful about what we put near her.
She has also fallen in love with faces, especially noses. She loves to grab them and suck on them.
She is also learning to suck her thumb. We have mixed feelings about this, but can't really stop her.
She also "hides" from people sometimes by turning away into Mom's shoulder.

Just had to share...

...this cute picture! Here is Naomi with Quack. She's in a jumper that her Auntie Nifer gave her, but up until recently she's been too little for it. Don't they look cute together!

4th of July

Naomi's first 4th of July went well. We all went over to Michaels sister's house for a BBQ. Naomi didn't get to see any fireworks of course because they are just to late, but on the flip side she also wasn't woken up by any fireworks!
This picture is of her in her 4th of July outfit (sorry it's blurry, sometimes the camera and I just don't get along).

Update: Naomi is now sleeping in her own crib! Her head and shoulders are still elevated to help with her reflux. She is waking up just once or twice a night now.

Naomi's Ticker

Michael added a ticker to the top of the page. This way everyone will know exactly how old Naomi is.
