Noel was a big help. She was so excited to put the Christmas tree up and help with decorating the tree.
I had a few sewing projects that I was working on before Christmas. I made some curtains for Noel's closet because she doesn't have any closet doors. I tried to match her bedding. Please note: her walls are no longer purple and green. Morgan painted them a week ago or so. We were going crazy with the purple and green.
I made these pillows as a gift for my sister and her family.
My brother Chris and his wife Kareena had a baby, Ty, just after Thanksgiving and a couple of weeks after he was born we took a picture of Samuel and Ty next to each other. What a difference huh? At this time Samuel was about 6 months and Ty 1-2 weeks old. What is fun to think about is Ty was born at 8 lbs exactly and Samuel was 8 lbs exactly when he was discharged from the NICU. So Ty in this picture was about the same size as Sam was when he was discharged (except a lot of Sam's weight was in his cheeks... and still is;))
Samuel the "Big Bully".
Random story. Noel was playing with her doll one day while Samuel's Occupational Therapist was over for her bi-monthly visit and Noel asked me to unclothe her baby, so I did. She told me her baby needed a diaper change and I told her she could use one of Samuel's. Later after the OT left, I went into Noel's room and found this on the ground.
Noel and I making play dough.
After getting back from doctor's appointments one evening, Noel cuddled up in Samuel's car seat with her "ugly bird" and watched a movie. It was too cute.
Sometimes Morgan and I will wake up in the morning to hearing Noel having her own conversations in her room. We hear all of this through a monitor. One random morning Morgan and I woke up to a knock-knock-knock on her window and then we heard, "Birdie, come here." Then again, knock-knock-knock, "Birdie, come here." Morgan got up, opened her door and she was sitting on her windowsill on the other side of her blinds talking to a little birdie friend that she made.
Best buddies.
