Naomi Love

Our little chick is 9 months! She's a BIG snuggler, which we both LOVE (except the part when she's extra sad to have us leave in the morning).

Daddy snuggles.

More daddy snuggles.

Our Pumpkins

The Spicers are in town for cousin Leilani's wedding, so we squeezed in some Naomi-Riley cousin time at Grandpa's!

Jack-o-lantern pumkin and ghost pumkin:

Grandpa and his two pumpkins!

Looking for some more teeth to fill up that jack-o-lantern:

Busy Bee

Taking a break for sweet satisfaction. Naomi says, "Thank you Maggie for giving me your BlaBla doll!"

Then back at it...I tried to hide the outlet behind the furniture, but she went straight for it. I tried to shove the plugs in with the furniture, but it was no match for her.

Videos for the Fans

So much to be thankful for this week.

Here is the place where we show how thankful we are for every day with this little girl!

We could watch her all day long. If you feel the same, you'll enjoy these.

Standing and proud of it!

She could do this all day. (She's not as close to the ceiling as she looks.)

We broke out some "new" toys. She's getting ready to play percussion in cousin Miles' band.

New tricks:

-Increasing her crawling speed (clocking drastically improved splits).

-Pulling up on furniture (and sometimes chewing the varnish off).

-Grinding teeth with her 5 front teeth. (Eeek what a noise!)

-New sounds, clicks, squeals and screams, and using them to COMMUNICATE. (Sometimes makes the "Miss Piggy" frustrated squeal.)

-Definitely understands "up" and will throw her elbows in the air, eyes wide and excited.

-Bounces in daddy's lap to get him to throw her in the air.

wonderfully made

congratulations julie and jonathan

She is on the move!!!!

Happy 6 Months!

New sunglasses and hat. How cute is this? She was "rediscovering" her hands through the tint...it was awesome. I think she hates them, but she also doesn't like the bright sun, so we'll see how much use they get.

All of a sudden, she's changing daily, like the first 3 months. She started having opinions! She desperately wants to stay awake, to taste adult food, to feed herself, and may not want you to take away her toy. She still doesn't like tummy time, but she's making the best of it... Let's get moving!

Happy 6 month birthday to Naomi = Big girl food! Rice cereal was fine and so are peas!

I'll have what you're having! Did I mention she has teeth?!
