A little Chtistmas preview...Ho Ho Ho

The scene:  Mom gets inspired to take Santa photos before work one morning. 
She dresses me up in festive holiday attire (Santa hat and all) and lays
a red blanket against the wall as an 'Olan Mills' backdrop.  She then
attempts to get me to sit up unassisted and smile...all at the same time.
This was the product...not bad :-)

Weekend Fun!

Mommy's friend Karen visted this weekend from Denver.  The weather was perfect!
We took her for a walk around Lady Bird Lake, followed by a yummy lunch at Maudi's...
becuase no trip to Texas is complete without some authentic Tex-Mex. We were even
able to catch a little bit of the Big 12 South game with Daddy (a sore subject today)  

Mommy and Karen were even able to have a nice girl's dinner...
after I was sound asleep, of course!  
Thanks for the visit, Karen!  We hope to see you again soon!

Noah's first playmate :-)

Noah has taken a liking to Lily, his first unofficial playmate.   Lily is good about sharing her toys, Nap Nanny and books with Noah...although she sometimes does become demanding of Melody's time (ahem..as does Noah) Melody, the nanny,  is terrific with the two little ones...we really lucked out!
Btw, Noah is two months younger than Lily, but he has already surpassed her in the weight category :-)
She's a precious, petite little girl

A Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Helmers and a trip to the Texas cabin


Grandma has had some practice in this area...Thanks Grandma for keeping
me sufficiently nourished!

My cheeks can't seem to get enough food - - maybe some needs to be diverted to the dimple in my elbow


I love my Grandpa Helmers !

Our first 'dinner party' at the Texas cabin.  Construction begins in February!

Grandma and Grandpa H!


Thanks, Susan for the hat and sweater set.  I've received many compliments thus far! 

Susan, the J&J coffee sweatshirt has been put to good use on a few cool, crisp autumn days!

A Belated Happy Halloween !


Sitting up with a little assistance from a pillow and tree :-) 
Question: If Mom is the only one that sees me fall to
one side..did it really happen?


The Pumpkin Patch

The weather was unseasonably hot the weekend before Halloween for our trip to a local pumpkin patch, but we still managed to capture a few good pictures.  My friend Rachel's little girl, Kate, was very sweet to prop Noah up against her arm so we could take a photo...up until the moment that he spit up -- and then she bolted, causing Noah to do a face plant into the pumpkins :-)

16.3 Pounds!

He's doubled his weight as of is 4 month check-up and remains firmly planted in the 75th percentile.
He was a trooper and barely cried a peep during his shots!  Daddy did a fine job holding him again for his immunizations...as Mom could barely watch.
