Looks like Adrian & Mitch are doing some online shopping!

They both look guilty!!

Baptism May 2nd

Mitch and I finally got around to having Adrian Baptized, when I finally got the ball rolling it was during lent and we had to wait until after Easter. There are so many babies getting baptized at Assumption Church in Granger I picked a Sat. night, May 2nd. Grandma Harden came down to Polk City Sat. morning to help with Adrian and the cleaning. We also had to get the pulled pork sandwiches ready for 20 people. Saturday was an absolutely gorgeous day out, we couldn't of had better weather. The baptism went great, Adrian was really tired with all the people and she missed her afternoon nap, she did have a mini melt down in church but she did wait until after she was christened. Sat. night was pretty rough, with Adrian being sooo tired and you know what happens with a baby who is overly tired, they don't sleep good.

Adrian did good with the water, she didn't even cry!

This pic was taken after church and after Adrian had her mini melt down, so she was down for the count.

Adrian with her God Parents, Jamie Harden & Mark Newel. As you can see that darn camera flash gets Adrian everytime.

Aunt Jamie & Grandma Harden

Everyone enjoying the great food!

I think this was Adrian's favorite gift, especially

the wrapping!!!

6 Month Pictures

At the end of April Adrian had her 6 mo. pictures taken at Target, we did get some good ones but I think next time for her 9 mo. pics I want to go to a different place, if anyone has any suggestions, let me know. Thanks

Weekend Trip Home

Well, we had a busy weekend, starting with Friday Pics and Doctor appointment. Friday morning Adrian and I headed off to Target for her 6mo. pics and I was all excited for the outfit I had, before we left I made sure to give her a bottle so she would be a full, happy baby. Well, she must of been too full and the second I took off her bib for her pics she spit-up all over her white top. It's a good thing mommy packed her Easter dress to get pics in too, so all I got was diaper pics and in her dress. Adrian did smile really big and did a great job sitting up on her own for the pictures. The pics will be ready for pick-up on Monday, I can't wait. Later in the afternoon we had Adrian's appointment and shots, then we picked up Aunt Jamie for the 2 hour drive back to Rockford.

Mommy's friend Kate, getting a chance to hold Adrian.

After the meal Grandpa & Grandma took Adrian home and babysat for the night so mom and dad could have a few drinks and socialize with other adults. It was a nice break! Grandpa & Grandma had kind of a rough night, Adrian still wasn't feeling the best after her shots and decided to wake around 11pm. At about 12:30am they tried a bottle, which did the trick and she slept the rest of the night.

6 Month Appointment

Adrian had her 6 mo. appt. on Friday before we headed back home for Nicole & Doug's wedding on Sat. Adrian's stats: Height-27 in. 90th percentile, Weight-15.15 lbs. 50th percentile, HC-16.5 in. 50th percentile. Adrian also got her shots, which are getting harder, now she knows whats coming. The good news is that she doesn't get her next shots until her 1yr. appointment.

Fun in the Sun!

This afternoon after I got home from work Adrian and I got to soak in some sun. I laid out a blanket in the yard and brought some toys out, Adrian liked the change of scenery.

Cool Shades!

Easter Weekend

The Noel family had a busy weekend, Sat. Aunt Jamie and I ran a cross country 5 mile race out at Easter Lake in Des Moines, which we both survived together in 48 mins. Then I took little miss Adrian for a walk to Subway so mommy could get some lunch. Sat. night we enjoyed watching our Ten Commandments with Charlton H. "Moses", however we only made it to about 9:30pm and then we were all asleep. Sunday morning Adrian slept in until 6:30am so we decided to skip the 8am mass and go to the 10am mass. We had to take advantage of the later morning, normally Adrian gets up at 5am like clock work! Adrian did so good during church she enjoyed the music and looking at all of the people and lights. I took a few pics before church on Sunday. I love Adrian's dress she is also going to get some of her 6mo. pics taken in it next week. After church we went over to Uncle Joe's house for Easter dinner with his family.

Adrian has been doing really good with eating her baby food, we are now down to only getting

3 1/2 bottles of formula a day and the rest is food.

Adrian's rocking chair that Grandpa & Grandma Harden gave her for X-mas.

This weekend Adrian found her feet, she loves grabbing them. Soon she will be able to
put her little toes in her mouth.

Crazy Peas!

MMM...MMM...Veggies

Adrian got pretty messy with her Garden Veggies & of course a little prunes. Adrian was sleepy and got to rubbing her face, so we had food everywhere.

Adrian with crazy hair because mommy forgot to comb it after her bath.
