Whoops...thats not supposed to happen!



Heading to the Stallings family reunion in Indian Springs on Saturday, we had a minor {Thankfully not Major... i.e. hitting someone else on the road!} incident.
We were dropping a neighbors trailer off on our way, and on the highway {60 MPH} the trailer came off! It was a run down trailer that had no safety chain {we found out firsthand why thats a law!} and we went over the railroad tracks and it bounced right off! Thankfully it didn't hit anyone {there were bikers behind us and a car had just passed!} It did however, lodge itself a couple feet into the embankment on the side of the road! It took some work, but we managed to get it out and back on the truck.

Whats that Mom?!


We all know Noah is a bit of a piggy when it comes to eating {understatement of the year} and lately it seems to have gotten even worse. It seems I can't keep him full...EVER! So I started him on rice cereal today. Seriously SOOO funny! The pictures and video only show the beginning, but after a few minutes, Mr. Noah was not a happy camper. He was not pleased that it wasn't a continuous flow of food the whole time. Lets just say we saw a little {Okay, a lot} of the McBurney temper flare up! Hmmm... I guess tomorrow is another day! :)

Noah is 6 months old today!


I can't believe Noah is 6 months old already! Looking back, it felt like an eternity spent in the hospital, but now seems like it was so long ago. One of Noahs' favorite things to do these days {Eating is still his #1 priority...} is "hang out" in his jumperoo. He is sooo cute, I couldn't keep this video to myself. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to rotate the video!

A good story...

The setting: A sleepover at Grandma and Grandpas house two nights ago

The characters: Ridge, Mason {cousin}, and Grandma Sheri

The plot: Grandma Sheri reading Ridge and Mason a bedtime story when the following conversation occurs...

Mason says, "Grandma, do you know I speak Spanish?"

Grandma Sheri says, "Oh you do?!"

Not to be outdone......

Ridge says, "Grandma, do you know I speak uhhhhhhh, Watermelon???"

{Grandma Sheri laughs hysterically...}

THE END

I am so sad I missed that conversation! I laughed so hard when I heard it. I am sure he just blurted out the first thing that popped into his head! We did have watermelon at dinner that night...

Lights, Camera, Action!

We were invited to be a part of the Primary Childrens Miracle Network Telethon on KIDK {channel 3} today. What a fun experience! We were asked to come and share {LIVE!} about our time at Primary Childrens. Noah did great! He definitely stole the show, on and off camera!

Noah River



Another trip to the pediatrician today for a weight check. At our last visit the doc was concerned he wasn't gaining enough, so we started fortifying any breastmilk he gets in a bottle. Todays magic number is.........9lbs 5oz. The verdict? That'll do.

On a side note, COULD HE BE ANY CUTER!? {Okay, maybe I am a little biased}
