I'd like to use a sick day, please.

Well, this has been a week of "firsts." I still can't believe how much Noelle can change from week to week!

Chris went hunting this weekend, and so my mom came to pick me up and we made our first trip to Houston. We've been able to see my mom's sister & family, and we also saw my college roommate. I've had a super time with all of them. Plus, the shopping is WAY better in Houston! (Although the traffic is WAY worse!) Anyway, so this is the longest Chris has been away from Noelle, and I know he missed her mucho! We're headed back this afternoon and I'm anxious to see Noelle's reaction to seeing her daddy.

On with the firsts...Noelle had some apple juice for the first time. She's been a little "stopped up" since starting cereal, and this definitely helped move things along. I was primed and ready with the camera to get her face when she tasted this new stuff. No cute faces, though. She seemed to really enjoy it.

She's also rolling all the way across the room now. She can only go in one direction, so we're having to constantly pick her up and turn her around.

She also got her foot in her mouth and sucked on her toes. Boy is that a weird thing to see. I was getting her ready for bathtime, and I looked down and she had her foot in her mouth! I didn't think she was flexible enough, but she is.

The other first was one for me. I've had a cold while we've been gone. This is my first time to be sick as a mom. Definitely not fun. I was very fortunate to be with my mommy so she can take care of me. I think that moms should be immune from any illness for at least a year! Gone are the days of being able to call in sick to work. :-)

I'm at my aunt's house, and so pictures of the weekend will follow later! There are some cute ones!
