Naomi is 7.5 weeks old!

The first pic is of Naomi with her cousin Connor who was born only 6 days after her. I had to post this one of the 2 of them in the exact same position - cute! He came to visit with his mommy, sister and Grandma and Grandpa Rinehart 1.5 weeks ago. There are alot more cute pictures on the Noynaerts' blog. Sorry I am too lazy to re-post more pics, but go see them on their blog (link on the left).

This is my current favorite: the first time we caught a Naomi smile on film!

Thanks Grandma Rinehart for all of your hard work on Ella's curtains and pillow!

5 weeks old and entertaining Ella-isms

Naomi Catherine is now 5 weeks old! Wow! She is doing well. More alert every day. At night she can go 4-5 hours between feedings, so Mommy and Daddy are getting closer and closer to a regular night's sleep.

Meanwhile, big sis Ella had her first day of school (MDO) for the year. This was much anticipated by Mommy and Ella because she gets a bit stir crazy staying home with a nursing mom and baby every day.

So, lately Ella has been "nursing" her baby doll. No need for the quotes around nursing, really. And has even been heard saying, "ok, now I need to go pump" when she's done!!!

And finally, yesterday we went to Sonic. Ella was very excited about the lady bringing the food to the car. As we were driving away she said, "I don't want to be a mommy when I grow up anymore. I want to be a restaurant lady that brings food to the cars".

Blogger isn't uploading my pictures, so those will be coming soon...
