What Happened To June?

It sure went fast! This is just an update to remind myself later of milestones that Noah accomplished that were a whirlwind to me! The day after we returned from our trip I caught the little guy pulling up to his feet in his crib. He now pulls up on anything and everything that has stability. He's crawling fast, can give high fives, and can gum a hot dog better than any baby I know that doesn't have ANY teeth. We thought maybe he was going to get one of the bottom ones, but we are STILL waiting! He's responding to his name very well, although just like his sister, his listening skills need some work. Everyday he pulls the Wii remote charger off the TV stand and has to get a swat on the hand and still just comes back for more! He loves the door stoppers. He crawls around the house whacking them until he gets them to come off the wall so he can play with it in his hand. He could care less about the funny noise they make. He only cares to play with it. He pulled 4 of the 6 off the wall in one day. He seems to be doing lots of things all at once, but the thing I love the most is how he wants to play with his sister. It is sooo sweet to see them roll around on the floor cracking up...BUT he tortures her at times too! Already at such a young age he knows how to push her last button. He seems so laid back at times, but he has the fiery side too! I see Brett in him every day! Similar in looks as well as personality too!

Rachel hasn't had too much to report on lately. She enjoys singing soooo much. Everything turns into a song. Just after my surgery she was able to attend a VBS at the church where Daddy grew up. It was neat to see her be so excited to go and come home sining songs I sang in VBS several years ago. This little lady may look like her Daddy, but is so much like her momma! Talking, singing,...talking, talking, talking...That is all we do! She says things that make memories for us every day! One more thing she really seems to be into lately is BALLET! She has a pair of "ballet shoes" (they are really only a mary jane style, she just calls them ballet shoes) They were getting a little snug, so we actually bought another pair today. She was super excited so, Im sure she will show them off when she gets to wear them. (and Jess, in case you're wondering...Yes, I wrote it down!) :)

Well, that's the update on the kids! I just recently posted lots of pics on Facebook, so check for them there!!
