A Fresh Start

Ally loves to play peek-a-boo with anyone who will give her a few minutes of their time. Here she is at breakfast the other day using her "mimi" to play with me and Carter.

Although this doesn't look like a very pretty face, it is actually really cute in person. This is Ally's "I'm really happy" smile. She wrinkles her entire face and closes her eyes. You can't see it, yet, but there is another tooth in that smile...her top right one has finally broken through her gums. I keep telling her that she is going to look funny with only one top tooth!

The kids took a bath together last night for the first time in a long time. We had a busy weekend with Sam's parents, so both kids were ready for bed early last night. We were hoping for a quick bath, but with no luck...they were just having too much fun. Carter is the one person who can make Ally laugh hysterically! They were both being silly, and whatever Carter was doing, she tried to imitate. I am just praying that she doesn't grow up spitting like her big brother!


Last week didn't go well around the Noynaert house...everything from waking up to beer bottles all over our yard from the college guys next door to Sam's truck getting broken into in our driveway! All of that on top of a fussy baby girl who still refuses to crawl, a 2 1/2 year who is asserting his independence and boysih tendencies more and more each day (ex. spitting anywhere and everywhere...including on his sister!) to Sam getting phone calls in the middle of the night for drilling issues. We were happy when Sunday rolled around and we got a fresh start on a new week! I'm a little scared to write that so far things are good around here, but then again, it is only Tuesday!
