Teething and sickness :(

You just feel miserable :(

You have been teething since the end of October, and this morning when you woke up I went to get you and you threw up all over me. It was fantastic.. I think that it was just from all of your nasal dranage- you’ve had a cold for a few days now.

You just don’t feel well at all. You have one tooth coming in, and you are NOT a good teether at all. You just want to be with me all day. You want me to hold you and never ever put you down. I’m trying to remind myself to cherish this time, but it’s hard sometimes!

I hope you feel better soon sweetie!

On a positive note, you did find your shadow yesterday! It was so fun watching your amazement, and how you would play with it! Daddy thought it was pretty hilarious too.

You also really like the tile. You will roll over to it and then lick it. Grandma Culp is disgusted by it, but I think it is pretty funny!

(Giving the tile a nice kiss)

Finally, you also learned how to play “peek a boo” with your shirt. You kept looking down your shirt and back up. It entertained you for a good ten minutes!

Love you always!

Love, Mama

A walk in the park

Daddy and I decided to take you down to the park today that is just South of our house- Heritage Park. We hadn’t taken you there before, and the weather was just perfect so we thought we would go!

There were lots of people there having family pictures taken, and we were able to get a picture taken of the three of us!

Hopefully when you are older we will be able to go more often, and you can play on the playground there.

You also got your first experience with leaves today! You just wanted to eat them- which made the photo ops not that great. You got quite a few in your mouth- ugh.

Here are some of the pictures we took. It was so nice to get outside! You have quite the facial expressions Noelle!

Love you always!

Love, Mama

Happy Halloween!

I’m going to admit that I am way behind on posting these, but I am going to do my best to get caught up before I get so behind that I quit. :)

You had a really good time for your first Halloween. We ended up going up to Parkville to spend Halloween with Todd, Steph, and the twins. Jack and Sheryl came up and also brought your Great-Grandma Culp! I was so glad that you were able to see her again. She’s 88 years old, and I want you get spend as much time with her as possible.

During Halloween Day you wore the cutest pumpkin shirt with an orange tutu. I bought the shirt for you last year before you were even born, right after Halloween so it was super cheap. I was worried it wasn’t going to fit you, but it did! :)

You looked absolutely adorable. You loved playing with the tulle on your tutu. You sucked on it until it was literally dripping wet with spit- yummy.

Grandma and Grandpa Culp sent you a little puppy for a Halloween gift. We named her Lucy, and you love her. (Especially her tag. You love love LOVE to suck on Lucy’s tag)

We went trick or treating with Todd and Steph Douma and the twins. I can’t wait until you are actually old enough to play with them. It will be so much fun! You didn’t get the concept of trick or treating obviously, but it was still nice to get out with family and walk around. I loved seeing all the costumes. Overall we had a great time! Great Uncle Jack even played with you for a long time!!

Love you always sweet baby!

Love, Mama
