Spring Has Finally Sprung!

Hello friends. We know it has been awhile but things have been even more hectic than usual the past two weeks or so. This will be just a short update on recent happenings! First, as I sit and type this it is about 60 degrees outside! Yes, spring might finally be coming to MD. It has been the coldest, snowiest winter I can remember and we are definitely ready to stroll outdoors with the little one again. We did take one nice walk Saturday while my mom was in town but there was still a chill in the air. The little one did enjoy her new stroller though!



Besides that there have been a few developments on the Elliephant front. First, Noelle got a second tooth almost immediately after getting her first one. It is the other bottom middle tooth and the two are still working their way to full height but are out like little daggers in her mouth right now. She is definitely still a drooling queen and we think her constant cold this season may be at least partially caused by these teeth making their way out. Second, we have a crawler on our hands! Noelle has been scooting and maneuvering herself around the room for a few weeks but on Sunday she finally crawled across the room. And now she is a crawling machine! We have mixed feelings about this - it certainly is great she is mobile since she is so much fun, but our house is definitely not Noelle proofed yet so we have had to switch gears to having to constantly watch her like a hawk. Her favorite place to crawl is by the vents where she likes to pull the grates out. She is super cute though!





We are still patiently awaiting our first full night of sleep in months, but besides that things are going well at the Saxton's! We had a nice visit from Mom Hayhoe over the weekend and were able to go out to friends for dinner for the first time without Ellie in months so that was great. Noelle also eats with us every night and has conquered bananas, apples, avocado, carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. She is starting to really get the hang of food and is hilarious when she eats!

Hope all is well! We'll post again soon!
