Virus

Hi all! I just wanted to let you, our dedicated followers, know that we are experiencing a virus on our computer. Therefore, I am unable to add anything at the moment. We are borrowing a little computer, but it's so little it gives me a headache after a while. So to spare my head, I will just wait. I hope that you understand. But remember - Patience is a virtue. I would also like to say "the one who waits for something good, never waits too long."
Just to let you know - Noelle is now walking, talking and riding a bicycle. This evening she showed us her ballet that she will perform next year at the Nutcracker.
Please don't forget us! We will return shortly, better than ever!
Love, always!

New stuff

Riding the bug was fun!

Holding the bottle on her own, not bad for a breastfed baby!

Ok, I didn't teach her this. I guess that she does NOT want to be disturbed while sleeping!

Dueling at the piano

We have noticed that Noelle is a bit selfish. She gets really mad when someone else is playing the piano, and slaps the hand away. She wants it all to herself - maybe it's time for a sibling (we will wait a bit, she can be spoiled for a while).

Riding a bug

Noelle took a little ride on her bug today. She held on tight to the bug's ears, didn't quite grasp the handles. She even took a little taste on the ears!

Bla bla bla

Videos are always fun, so I have to include her babbling a bit!

Close to sitting

Noelle is practising her sitting skills, and her muscles in her back and neck are getting stronger and stronger. She can sit on her own for a couple of seconds already!

Lincoln Park Zoo in 60 degrees weather - NICE!

Emma and Milla looking at the Alpacas.

Picknick and cuddle time!

Noelle is pretty fascinated by the gorillas.

Real Alpaca - here feel (for all of you who has been to Peru would know what I mean)

Noelle learned so much today at the zoo, she had to take a nap to let it all soak in!

Day with the babies

I thought this picture is really cute of Noelle, and not so cute of me. But then I realized - hey, who really pays attention to me anymore :)? Thanks to Ragne for bringing her nice camera!

The babes are deep into discussion here and was mildly irritated that we wanted to take a picture. Here Noelle is with Emma, 7 months, and Milla, 5 months.

Fat babies

So we got this sleeper from Uncle Chris, and we're hereby wondering if all babies in Sointula are really chunky. I swear we could fit a basketball in here as well!

Trip to Charlottesville, VA to visit Uncle Drew and Kelly

Uncle Drew and Noelle are practising their Tummy Time. Uncle Drew got a real good workout!

Cuddle time on the sofa, Noelle is flirting with the camera...

We took a walk by the stream right by Drew and Kelly's house. Noelle was pretty interested with the stream.

We were hoping for warm weather when we went to VA, instead we got hit by a snowstorm! Oh well, it was still warmer than in Chicago!
