The Leaves Are Falling

It is turning into a beautiful fall in Utah.  Still warm in the afternoon but pretty chilly in the morning and evening. 

Gratitude:  I am so grateful for such a happy baby.  She spends her days smiling the majority of the time and is playing on the floor a little more by herself. I have been trying to put myself out there a little more and be more willing to talk to people that I do not know.  Devin is always so nice when he passes by people and can say "hi" and things like that while I am more comfortable just passing by without a word.  Lately I have been trying to be more friendly because ever since Noelle came around people stop and talk to me about her all the time.

Update: So much has happened since my last post but I like to do most of this with pictures.  Something there isn't a photo for is Devin's job news.  He was offered a job downtown with a new company but we ended up passing.  His current place promoted his on the spot when he told them the news! It was great! We really didn't want to commit to being in Utah for another job.

Here we go...

 

Noelle took her first bath in the bigger part of the tub.  I'm not sure why we didn't do this sooner but we were nervous.  She LOVED it.  She was kicking like crazy!

I think Devin liked John and Kate's gift, can you tell?

 

Then it was Devin's birthday. He was able to use a floating holiday at work and have the day off.  I gave him the brand new Kindle Fire HD but I must say I am enjoying having it as much as he is.  Then John gave Devin this huge Heavy Bag stand. 

Kate, John, Eddie, Jeff, Meghan, Me, Brad (father in-law)

Then came the Dirty Dash. This was a real triumph for me doing a 10 k in the mud 4 months after having the baby.  I was almost unable to do it because I pulled a muscle in my back just days before but I some how did it.

Sadly Dev couldn't race because his broken foot was still healing.

We celebrated Dev's bday a little bit while his parents were in town visiting.

27 lookin' pretty good!

 

Saying goodbye to Brad and Diane
It was so much fun having a full house for a weekend. 7 of us in  our apartment.

Noelle is still loving going on walks in the baby bjorn. She cries after like 15 mins in the stroller but loves this instead. Stinker.

 

Noelle loves eating rice cereal and bananas. She gets so excited when she sees the food!

The little one scoots backwards pretty well now.  It's a little sad though because she sees a toy in front of her and scoots the opposite way lol.

Last Saturday we went to Sugarhouse park to walk the trail and then got ice cream It was fun and very pretty there.

Noelle all happy!

Noelle turned 5 months old!  I can't believe she is getting SO big!

I was just sitting there and all of a sudden I am being eaten!

You can also see my ugly big toe.  I got a "red toe" from the dirty dash. It doesn't hurt anymore.

I moved my foot away and she came to get me!
