Three and a half Months

I've been such a lame blogger lately. Work has been so busy, as has life, so I've not been able to post. Where do I begin? Well, Noelle got her ears pierced on Sunday, September 7, 2008 at the Piercing Pagoda. She cried holy hell and I felt so horrible, but after a quick nursing session, she was fine and appeared to get over it. Here she is about an hour after having them done.



We've also switched babysitters. Long story short, things just didn't work out with the first one and she made me feel uncomfortable asking questions about my daughter's well being while in her care, so last Monday, Noelle started at a new sitter. Things have been going great. Noelle always looks so happy when I drop her off and pick her up and she's always very clean.

In developmental news, we've started more tummy time. Noelle can hold her head up pretty high. She's also babbling tons! It's the greatest sound to me and I look forward to coming home in the evenings just to see her smile and hear her squeals. Here's a picture of my big girl holding up her head.



It's amazing how much she's grown and changed over the past 15 weeks. I can't believe she's been here that long, but at the same time, it feels like she just got here. She goes for her 4 month appointment on October 10th. I'm anxious to see how much she's grown since her 2 month appointment. Oh yeah, Noelle's also trying to pull herself into a sitting position and a standing one too. She's ready to take on the world. Here are some pictures of her sitting in her Bumbo and in her crib.







I can't wait to see what she does next. I just bought her a Baby Einstein floor gym that I need to get set up and I will also try to get some videos of her babbling. I guess that's the update for now. We're both happy and healthy.
