Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was so much fun. We had it at my mother-in-law's club house. There was 25 or more of us there. We ate, played pool, and watched movies on the big screen. It was so nice to get together with everyone and celebrate all that we are thankful for. I am especially grateful to have our family near us and those that are far we are blessed to see on a regular basis. Noah was the center of attention and he just loved it.
All the cousins: Daniella, Yahir, Tasha, Noah, Victoria, America, Nathan, Dante.

Aunts and uncles all gathered.


I made my very first pie this year. I made an apple pie with these little cut out hearts. Very cute. It was so nice to just relax, watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, hang out with Noah and then make the pie. Great day.

Our little Family

Items found....?

Items found...anyone missing some teeth or thumbs because Noah found them? At three months he was sucking his hand non-stop. Then he found his thumb and starting sucking that. Then Cris realized that he had teeth. He got his first two bottom teeth at three months and now at 4.5 months he has 4 bottom teeth.



Three Months Old

What a cutie!
These are his three month pictures that I am posting now that he is 4.5 months. He is getting so big so fast I can't keep up with him. Everyday is something new and everyday there is something else he outgrew. But I love it. I love to just watch him and know that he is learning something a that moment. Very cool. Right after this picture Cris realized that Noah had two teeth coming in and that was why he had been so upset lately. I will post those pics in the next one. Now at 4.5 months he has four teeth. Can you believe it. I had no idea babies could get teeth this early. But he does and it is a little hard because I don't like to give babies tylenol and he is still only 4 months but sometimes I just have to anyway. Plus since his mouth hurts he has a hard time nursing or taking a bottle so we have started him on some rice cereal 2 times a day which he just gobbles down. Even with the teething he is still so happy. He loves watch people and he will stare at them without blinking for a really long time.



Halloween


Since the last post we have had our first Halloween and Thanksgiving together and Christmas is only 2 days away. Sorry I just can't seem to keep up with this blog. But here is a cute picture of Halloween. Cris was "Mike Myers" and Noah was Bugs Bunny and I was a carrot. We had a small party at my house for family and friends and during the pary Cris and his brother Angel would hide on the side of the house and as the trick or treaters would leave they would pop out and scare them. It was pretty funny (not the little kids though).
