Beautiful Day!

We had a Down by the River Party today. We had planned to going tubing in the river, using our friend's jet-boat. He had to go to the ER bc he sliced off the tip of his finger when unloading the boat!!! YIKES! Also, my mom had a major injury-she was weed eating just before the BBQ and a goose egg sized rock was thrown into her ankle by the blade of the weed-eater. So, she was barely able to walk and in tons of pain! She may have chipped the bone. Everyone else seemed to have lots of fun. The weather was cool and sprinkling. No tubing or swimming. My dad had that bean bag toss game and all the kids loved it. Andy was a little fussy-kins, everytime he spoke to me, he was on the verge of tears. I don't think he slept well last night-woke up twice. I was suprised that it was so cool, after being 100+ for practically the whole month of July.

I am so in love with Noah. He is so preciously soft and round. He weighs nearly 17# and isn't even 4 months yet! I already miss his newborn stage. I love it when your baby needs to be cuddled all of the time. He is already growing out of that. Of course, he always wants to snuggle when he is tired or hungry. He is very efficient when it comes to nursing and is done with his meal in less than 5 minutes. Then, he wants to talk and smile with me (or daddy) and if you don't, he yells. He doesn't waste much energy on crying, but he will get going if I take advantage of his good-natured personality and finish 'just one more thing'.
