I am sad to say though I have lived here for 5 years I have never hiked the wind caves so Saturday we conquered, a few things were learned this day.

1-being on limited activity for the last few months of pregnancy really got me out of shape

2- pretty sure I have exercise induced asthma, will be checked when insurance takes effect

3-my hubby, sister Jessie & friend Terra are awesome to hike with, even if you are wheezing....not huffing & puffing literally wheezing like breathing through a straw (hence the fear of asthma)

4- we are so blessed to live here!

5- fall leaves are so pretty to hike through

I have been called a picture freak & yes it is true, but I ask how can you not take pictures of this....

Great Aunt Marianne's Birthday, she LOVES Halloween

Some cute pics from his babysitter. It makes me so happy to see him so happy!

When Noah is put into his bed at night is all swaddled up tight, well he must be a move around sleeper because I keep finding him like this.

A few of my favorite pictures from the last few weeks (in no order at all):

He really does smile all the time, he just prefers to "talk" to the camera

Getting ready for the first day of Daycare.

Chatting with Great-Granddad, Noah loves his head like this you have to fight him to have it straight.

Great-Grandpa 80th Birthday

I can't believe 2 months has passed since Noah joined our family. Today was the dreaded 2 month check up, complete with shots. He was not a fan of needles & vaccine being injected into his muscles. Since he sees the doctor I work for my friends had to give him the shots, he was not impressed with them & I think they wanted to cry with him. The doctor says he is growing great, physically & developmentally. I just can't believe how much he has changed in the last 2 months.

His growth stats are:

Weight 12 lbs 2 oz, 59 percentile

Height 24.25 inches, 89 percentile

Head 16.3 inches, 83 percentile

one of my friends from home us made these adorable moccasin, they almost fit.

A few weeks ago we bought a carrier for Noah, he actually enjoys he can see the world. The pictures below aren't the best for showing he likes it, he was hungry & I was taking pictures instead of getting him a bottle.

She's done it again! Family photos

Sunday we had the amazing opportunity of giving Noah a name & a blessing. It was so wonderful to see Mark preform this & see Noah surrounded by so many wonderful Priesthood holding men. I am so thankful to live when The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is on the earth, I am very grateful for the Restoration of the gospel & the Priesthood. I know that the Lord sent us our beautiful & sweet Noah Michael and I am very grateful for him.

The blanket was crocheted by Noah's Great-Grandma S
