Naomi's Blankets

Naomi has a blanket that Linda made for her when she was born. She is really quite attached to it and at night when we check on her before going to bed ourselves she is normally wrapped up in it. She has learned how to wrap it around herself, so she does. When she wakes up she wants to hold her blanket while she sits on our laps. Maria, an adopted grandma at our church made Naomi a blanket recently... so then she was walking around with both blankets.
"Blanken" she calls them.

Naomi's smile

I caught a picture of Naomi smiling with her wrinkly smile. It's only half of her face- but at least it's not blurry!!

Braiding Naomi's Hair

When I was a girl I had really long hair. My Mom told me a story of why: we were shopping in the store, her and I, and she ran into a gal she went to high school with. They visited, and mom told her that she had 4 children, 3 boys and a girl. The lady looked at me and said "Oh, and this must be one of your boys!" I had a bowl-cut, I believe. I don't think my mom cut my hair after that. It was really quite long, when I got my senior pictures, I could sit on it. I had learned to braid it it pretty much any braid imaginable. I figured if/when I had a girl, I would fix her hair. But I didn't think I would enjoy it quite so much. I really want Naomi to handle sitting still as well as not having a sensitive head, so I fix it every day. Some days more braids, other days just pony tails. It stays in fairly well, but after her nap it's a little crazy. Oh well!

Christmas Presents

The boys got Lego Star Wars stuff from their grandparents for Christmas. They enjoyed building them and playing with them all week.
