LET THE CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES BEGIN!

Lexi is now 10 months. She is crawling, pulling up

on things and busy exploring everything she can get into.

The Noble Family hosted a Christmas Party with Santa

(a.k.a. Keith Mull) as the special guest and his sidekick elf.

Santa did a wonderful job!

Jace refused to sit on Santa's lap, but enjoyed opening
his present far away from the fat man in the red suit.

Lexi's first visit with Santa. She was intrigued.

GOODBYE THANKSGIVING, HELLO CHRISTMAS

This year we decided to stay home for Thanksgiving.

Grandma Nancy, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Crystal came to visit.

We also spent last weekend putting up our Christmas decorations.

Jace liked putting the star on the tree and hanging the ornaments.

Now, when he wakes up in the morning Jace wants to plug in the

tree to see the lights. We're ready for Christmas!

Now bring on the snow!

Growin' Like a Weed

Today Lexi had her 9 month checkup.

She weighs 18 pounds, 6 ounces and is

almost 29 inches long! She's just now

really starting to crawl

(she's been scooting on her butt for a while).

It won't be long before Lexi starts pulling up to walk!

Jacob had a 6th toe.

Yes, those are gloves on his feet.

They were way cooler than socks!

We had a visit from Grandpa Tom this past week.

Jace had a blast playing with Grandpa.

Yay! I'm crawling!



Get me out of this high chair!

Here's a few videos from the past couple of months.

A BUSY OCTOBER

We are all glad that October is over with all the Halloween

and fall festivities. I think we went trick-or-treating

4 times with all the different events taking place.

It's been a fun, but busy month!

Who cut the cheese?

Stylin' in my new hat

Ready for winter!

Look! I've got two teeth on the bottom now!

Getting ready for bed

Matt, Lexi and I went to Brad and Amanda's wedding

(Jace stayed home with a sitter) and had some fun.

Lexi enjoyed hanging out with Grandma Cindy.

Lexi is now 8 months old

Lexi likes driving Jace's car


I'm not hooked on the binky like my brother,
Jace, was. I just like playing with it.

Jace didn't want mommy and daddy to leave

Raking up leaves in the backyard with

daddy and then sliding into them was fun.

Lexi just liked watching Jace
