This just in...
I was wrong about Noelle's upper front teeth. She's getting all four of them at the same time. The left 2 are a bit ahead of the others but they are all coming. In spite of being a bit grumpy she is still a mover and a shaker. She currently has bumps and bruises on her noggin from squirming around everywhere. She managed to climb up the entire staircase today and was so pleased to turn around and look down once she had reached the summit.
In other news...she now knows how to give a perfecct 'High Five' (just in time for football season). She also has a new face that simply cannot be named. It is weird and funny at the same time. It has yet to be photographed so if you want to try it out, I'll tell you how it's done. (This should only be attempted in the privacy of your own home).

--Squint eyes tightly
--Scrunch up nose
--Open mouth so as to display upper gums
--Now open and close mouth rapidly

Uh-oh...
August 19, 2009 - Now we're in for it. Noelle and I were downstairs in the morning and she heard Chris get out of bed and go to the shower. No different than any other weekay but for some reason she decided to go check it out. Then, knowing no obstacles, she decided to go see Daddy. Time to break out the gates.
Stepping Stones
It used to be that Noelle just wanted to get in Coach's toy box. Now it serves as a mere stepping stone to more fascinating delights. She climbed in on her own and I had to snap a shot.Jaws
I combed Noelle's hair straight back this night so it dried funny. I tried to get a picture of her hair but it turned out more like a 'oral exam'.
Five Generations
My great grandmother, Grandmother Sugar, will be 102 years old this October 24th. Grandaddy will be 80 years old on September 4th. The rest of us will leave you guessing.
If I were a lumberjack...
We were having some trees cut down and it was lots of fun to watch. That's me in the bucket truck. Pretty cool!

Noelle's Boyfriend
When their eyes met Noelle got all mushy; she was entranced. She just held still laid back and gazed up at my cousin Dean's face dreamily. True Love...at least she thought so. Dean is a senior in high school and does very well with the ladies--the little ones, I mean.

Catch up
August 22, 2009
So it's been a while since my last post. Let's recap. I had surgery on my right hand that went well. A few days prior to the left hand's scheduled surgery date it began to return to normal. Unbelievable that after being numb for almost a year, after all arrangements had been made, it decided to 'heal' on its own. Go figure!
My mom's help while she was here and while I was there were essential. We are talking about a 6 week time period here and Noelle is not the same baby as she was when this journey began. While I've been away, from the blog, she has learned to wave, clap, say "bye-bye" (sometimes), crawl, pull-up, walk with the push walker, say "mama", and most recently and , at least to me most amazingly, climb stairs. She still thinks it's funny when she sneezes, loves the water, is soooo ticklish, likes to play peek-a-boo, prefers to view the world with her head tilted horizontally from time to time, doesn't care for her car seat but loves to fill her pants every time we get in it, and love to grab Coach's beard.
She now loves to drink ice water and eat itty bitty ice cubes. Now that she is crawling everywhere she has discovered that she can chase Coach. He is a nervous wreck until she goes to bed at night. Sometimes he pounces around her as she tries to get him with his tail wagging a mile a minute. For now he's faster than she is so she changes direction over and over again. It's funny to watch.
Noelle is teething right now. Of the front four teeth she's getting the left two. I suppose her smile will be a little off center for a while. She likes to rub them together with the two teeth on the bottom. It sounds awful but it must not bother her. She has also discovered Coach's food. She has managed to dump the bowl once or twice and yesterday took a handful and put it into the water bowl. One last antecdote... she mozied into the bathroom the other day and shut the door behind her. I waited to see what she would do. After a few minutes she was yelling for help and I found her stranded at the toilet, standing up drumming on the closed lid.
