She is all smiles


Playing with her purse


So this blog post really is to show off Naomi. Surprise, surprise!
This little girl is definitely not a baby anymore. She loves to get involved with whatever mommy and daddy are doing. We are trying to teach her that mommy will be having a baby and she regularly will rub my tummy and say baby. The other day were all out grocery shopping (as Aric is on spring break right now) and she just rubbed it and repeated "baby" over and over for about 3 minutes It was so cute.

So I need to tell you about the other morning before I forget. It was 5:30 and I woke up to Noami on the monitor. I could hear some chitter chatter, then some giggling. I go into her room to find her sitting in her bed talking to her stiffed animals. So I tell her that it is not time to be awake, lay down and go to sleep. I tucked her in again. She went quiet. About half an hour later, I hear chatter and giggling again. I go back in and there she is conversing with the animals again. Again I go in and put her back to bed. She finally went back to sleep for real. But my question to you is: What do you think their conversation was about. What were the animals saying back to Naomi to make her giggle? She was so cute it was impossible to mad at her.
She decided that she wanted to tuck herself into mommy's bed. She even pulled all the covers up over her legs and cozzied up in the pillows. She is so cute.



Learning the alphabet in the tub



Playing cow girl. She usually keeps hats on her head for a while, but this one she did not and we had to hold the hat on to get this picture.



Ok we really enjoy checking on Naomi before going to bed. This had been our favorite position by far. She didn't even move when the flash went off .

So Naomi is all smiles these days. She loves to smile for the camera, or really anytime that we ask her to smile. She is such a happy child, and I'm glad we can share these precious moments with all of you.



The other morning we made some really good pancakes and Naomi was such a good helper. She was so happy to help daddy mix the batter, then help (from a short distance) as daddy cooked them up. She had so much fun.


Just a picture of her being soo cute.


Ok so some of you have seen this video already. It was short enough that blogger allowed us to post it. I have entitled it "The Great Banana Amazement". This is the reaction we get every time Aric performs this "stunt". She is such a ham!!! Love, love, love this girl to bits!!!

Our Big Girl




Time for another post. I would have to say that the funniest this week happened yesterday. Boy do I wish I could have a video camera on Naomi 24/7. We were invited out to dinner last night with our friends the Palsky's, for Robin's birthday.Well we decided that make sure that Naomi would be nice and sleepy for the sitter we skipped the morning nap and was going to put her down around 1 for her nap. Well she was doing fine until lunchtime came. She ate most of it while I was entertaining myself on the computer. Then I noticed she was very quiet. I looked over and yes she was asleep in her chair again. So I picked her head up (so I could clean her up) and she re-positioned herself in a sitting up sleeping position. Sesame street was playing on the TV in the back ground. When Elmo's World started she bolted straight and screamed "ELMO!" Remember she was asleep! My goodness this little one has a strange fascination with Elmo. I don't know what it is with that character... but all kids just love Elmo! Elmo is everywhere! I was on Facebook yesterday and there was small advertisement on the side with a very close up picture of Elmo... well she caught onto that and chanted Elmo until I acknowledged that he was on the screen. I do have a short video showing her love for this red fuzz ball. Follow the link

She also has really enjoyed declaring "dance time". Her dancing is so cute. The mood can strike her on mommy's bed, or really anywhere.

And now Naomi is in love with pizza. This video is after i had opened the fridge to get her milk and she saw the pizza box. She chanted "pia!pia!pia!" while standing by the fridge, for literally about 3 minutes before we took this video. She had her mind set on what she wanted.

OK. Naomi likes her bath time, most days. We have a bucket in the tub that we use to rinse her off with, but but it also doubles as her chair. She loves to sit on it. The next couple are of her in the tub... smiling for the camera. Her crooked little smile is so adorable. Why she pushes her jaw off to the side I do not know.


Naomi has taken to beans. She just loves the pork and beans. Chelsea didn't understand how much until she was babysitting Naomi one day and she wouldn't eat her sandwich so she gave her some beans that Chelsea was going to eat. Apparently Naomi ate almost the whole can herself. This picture shows Naomi actually sticking a bean in her ear with her spoon. She would not hold still enough for me to get a picture of the after affect.

Good morning!!!


The other day Naomi wanted to put on her boots. Then her coat. After a while of walking around the house like this I decided that we should go for a walk. So we put on the snow pants too. Just as we were walking out the door, daddy came home and we all went together. She just loves her sled we got her for Christmas her first year.


What a big girl. She is growing so fast and I'm afraid he feet will never stop. She is already a freak... look.


She has seemed pretty interested in mommy going to the bathroom. So we got her a little potty for herself. Basically every time I go to the bathroom, she comes with me now and we put her on her potty. no results yet, but maybe she will figure it out. I know she is a bit young, but why not start if she is interested.

That's what we have for this week. She is growing like a weed! She is learning so much and just a little chatter box sometimes. Even though she can be distracting at church people are always commenting on her being so cute. I think some people try to sit near her on purpose.
Well have a great week all... actually before I blog again, it will probably be more like 2-3 weeks.
Love you all.
