The Big Move

This post is way over due because of our non-stop busy lives at the lake this past month. We've been busy eating weekly dinners with families and meeting new people and just getting to know the area.  Its pretty calm here right now because of the extra long/unsual which keeps the vacationers away, but by memorial day this place will be packed until about labor day in Sept.  Seth is really starting to like his preschool and he has a new friend at church named Carter that he really likes! I've also found a new place to get my hair done...if you're a girl you know how important finding a good place can be!  We've become pretty good with names of people at our church fairly quickly.  Its all starting to become more and more familiar. Enjoy the pictures below of our March 2013 in Texas and Missouri

Noah 6 months

On March 8th (the day we left TX) Noah turned 6 months! And you know what that means...time to start planning his 1st birthday party! I'm totally serious! I've already decided that it will be a construction/bob the builder theme. Noah had a great 6 month check up (his last with his TX dr). He weighed 17.5 lbs and was 27.2in long. Seth at this age was a full pound heavier and an inch longer. Noah is one tough cookie, he got 4 shots and didn't even start crying until the 3rd one!  His favorite things this month are jumping in his jumper, putting toys in his mouth, laughing and smiling at mommy, daddy, and Seth, shaking and banging toys, rolling over both ways and working on sitting up and the best for last...he is now sleeping through the night!

5 months and 3 yrs

In the past few weeks Noah turned 5 months and Seth had his 3 yr check up at the dr! It was the first time in over a year that he didn't start crying when Dr WORSLEY walked in! Seth talked to him and even laughed a few times! Seth weighs 39lbs and is 40.75 in tall (90th percentile for both). Our world has been crazy what with tying up loose ends in Texas and getting everything organized for the move. Here are some pictures of the past few weeks.

Noah 5 months and happy
