Moving

Sorry for the delay with new posts, we are just days away from moving into our new home and have been really busy. Thanks to both of our parents, we have everything but the furniture and our essentials moved! The furniture will be moved Tuesday.
Here are some new pictures of Naomi. As you can see she sits up very well and is up and ready to crawl (thank goodness she doesn't actually go anywhere yet). She is becoming more coordinated every day.
She's having some problems sleeping, possibly because of our stress due to the move. We will all be glad to be moved into the new house.
We will make sure to get pictures up when we have a chance to take them and have the computers back up and running.

5 Months

5 Months!

Firsts: Solid foods (rice, oatmeal, pears, carrots, and sweet potatoe)
Rolled from back to tummy
Plane trip to California
Getting on hands and knees (rocks and lunges)
Stands holding onto furniture

Naomi is really starting to have a personality. She loves songs (Monkeys on the bed and the Ants go marching especially). She also likes to be read to and eating the books, you really have to taste the books to get to the real story. She loves her kitty Demi, but sometimes has to pinch her or pull her tail (Demi bites me when Naomi does this...how is that fair?). She is so strong and always pulls up to sitting or standing when you hold onto her hands. She still comes to work with me at the shop and is good most of the time, she gets tired of being there, but we try to spice up her life with new toys and experiances. The customers really get a kick out of her!

California Girl

We're all ready to go, we just need to pack the baby...oh wait! She's already packed!
We just got back from California visiting family and have so much to share!
This is Naomi on the plane, she did such a good job on both trips. She slept and played most of the time, and really didn't bother any of the other passengers.

Naomi got to meet more grandparents, great grandparents, great aunts, great uncles, and some second cousins.


She also learned to get up on her knees! She will wiggle back and forth and lunge, but doesn't actually crawl yet (thank goodness!).
We got to see the Golden Gate Bridge and Fort Point. Naomi actually stayed in the car (with Granny Anne) for this outing because it was pretty cold and she was asleep.


Here Naomi is with more family (we're great at catching people at their finest moments...in robes and swimming suits!)









Naomi also had her first picnic in Sonoma. She didn't actually partake in the food, but we all enjoyed her company.

Here we are at the scenic overlook for the Bridge, it was really windy and a little chilly, and Naomi almost lost one of her socks! Thankfully and nice woman found it on the path and brought it back to us.

We also visited Ghirardeili square. Most of the shops were closed, but it was very pretty and we had some really good ice cream!


Here I am with Naomi and the Sea Lions of Pier 39. We ended up going into San Francisco on two different days, but we enjoyed both trips.

Other firsts from the trip:
Chewed on Sourdough Bread
Ate sand at Crissy Field
Traffic jam (Naomi doesn't like these AT ALL!!)

Earthquake (this was actually a first for all of us). It was located about 7.5 miles away from us and was a 4.4. Funny story...we were trying to get a day bed from the 2nd story porch down to the ground floor, but just over the porch railings. Ken and Anne were lifting it up and over while Michael down below holding it up when it hit. Michael thought the porch was coming down on top of him and I thought the day bed was coming through the wall (I was inside with Naomi at the time). No damage was done and we came away with an interesting stroy.


It really was a very good trip. We enjoyed seeing everyone and hope to go back out this winter so Naomi can see her Great-great grandparents (5 generations!)

I may have left things out...sorry. You'll have to bear with me, I'm still getting over the trip plus trying to pack up our house to move. We'll get pictures up of the house as soon as possible.
