Mommy's little fishy face :)

Well Gracelyn just turned 11 weeks and I can't believe just how much she smiles and laughs. Of course when we pull out the video camera she is mezmorized by it and doesn't perform so we have only caught it on tape once :( Also, our camera is so slow so by the time we capture her smile it is already gone ... hmmm what I wouldn't give for a fancy smantcy quick shot camera :)

I just couldn't resist :)
This is what happens when I use the flash... sorry baby!!
Taken just seconds after a gorgeous smile :)

One thing that is new this week is her sitting up! We will be sitting on the couch watching one of our four shows ( I know... terrible hobby but we can't give up our 24 or The Office or Smallville ;) anyway, she will just be sitting up straight in my lap. Or another favorite of hers is to stand up against the back of the couch ... only for a little while until her chubby little legs give out and then she sits down :) Another thing that is new that I don't like very much is her grabbing, pulling and ripping mommy's hair out... I am now forced to wear a ponytail :)
OOOoohhhh the joys of motherhood ... I wouldn't trade it for the world!
We are so blessed to have such a happy and joyful baby! The Lord has given us so much and we are so very thankful!

Love to you all,
The Noland Three

I have got to tell you! I have been following your blog since you have had your precious little girl. I actually work with Wes and Mo. Mo told me about the complications and we liften you up that day. I wanted you to know that your blog just brings a smile to my face! You are such an adorable mother. And some of your past blogs just bring joy to my heart to see how Jesus lives and works through you. I just wanted to share that with you. I don't really know you, but the Lord has definitely used you in my life. And I am blessed! Congrats to you and your hubby on your precious little baby girl..... And I love the fishy face! Priceless!

Those pics are so adorable! Capri is the exact same way! She just always stared right at the camera- we would even try to hide it from her to try and capture the smile- it never worked! Even yesterday, we took her to picture people, and she would stare at the guy, and then the second he was done run off smiling! It makes you appreciate the ones you DO get though- even more! I always try to have the camera handy so that I might get lucky!

Oh, wow! She is beautiful! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Now I can read yours too and see all of the fun I will experience in the future. :)
I took our first picture today with the month onesie stickers and they came out so cute. Good luck photoshopping yours!
