Here are some pics of our little family. Is it wrong of me that I love Noah's pouting face? Its the saddest thing in all the world, sometimes we wont even know why he's doing it. In this picture, he had just woken up from a nap in Scott's arms. Maybe he had a bad dream or something. Who knows.

I know that I probably talk about this all too much. But, being a mother is the best decision that I ever made. It's very hard work at times, but I have never felt so much joy and purpose in my life as I do now. When I was growing up, I didn't want to get married let alone have children. I'm glad that I changed my mind. Every little thing that Noah does melts my heart. Being a mother definitely changes your life and priorities, but its worth all of it. He's growing up so fast, and although I enjoy the new things he does every day, I miss the things he doesn't do anymore. He used to squeak all the time when he was a newborn, and make the sweetest little breathing noises when he'd eat. Now he makes lots and lots of noises like he's telling us stories. I used to rock him to sleep in his rocking chair, and now he just wants to be put in bed wide awake so that he can watch his Jungle Mobile before he dozes off to sleep on his own. He's becoming much more independent of me. He likes to lay on the floor and play with his toys most of the time instead of sitting on my lap. But I love every change and every new thing. I hope that he will have a very long and happy life.
