Sleeping Beauties

Check out the Noska sleeping beauties:

Ainsley sat and played and played for a long time. I guess when you're just learning how to do it, balancing yourself is a lot of work. So much work that eventually all you can do is fall back and close your eyes.



I've said for a long time that there's not much on this planet that's cuter than a baby sleeping with her butt up in the air. I've learned that that statement rings true even when the "baby" is 4! This is how I found Anneliese a couple of days ago when I went to wake her up.


Hope everyone has a blessed and safe Easter!
Love,
Brandon, Jennifer, Anneliese and Ainsley

Busy, busy, busy!

Hey, everyone! The Noska family is still alive and kickin' - we're just super busy. I swear there are not enough hours in my day to do everything that I want to do. The girls are both fantastic and growing like weeds.

Anneliese is having a great time at school and has started taking ballet. She loves all of it! She's still being a great big sister and loves to help out with Ainsley. And of course, Ainsley just loves her to death.








Ainsley is learning and doing all sorts of new things. She's a great eater and loves her cereal mixed with just about any kind of fruit or veggie. We've been trying to get her to eat straight baby food and so far that's not going so well but I'm sure she'll get used to the different taste soon. She can roll over - though that's not necessarily a good thing because she doesn't really care to be on her tummy. Basically what happens is we lay her down on her back, she plays for a few minutes, rolls over, cries, we roll her back over, and the whole process repeats. ;) She loves to hang out in her walker and chew on anything she can get her hands on. And she's almost sitting. She can sit pretty good but once she starts leaning it's all over and she ends up nose-diving into the carpet.






As you can tell from the pics, Ainsley is one of the "smiley-est" babies I've ever seen. She's always happy and will smile at just about anything or anyone.

And this pic was just too cute to not include. She was playing and of course got upset that she was on her tummy. She finally just gave up and closed her eyes for a little nap. I'm thinking she figured if she went to sleep, she'd wake up in a different position. She probably didn't figure that mommy would think it was cute and let her stay there. ;)


We're all enjoying the warmer weather and being on spring break this week and are looking forward to all the fun things that spring and summer bring.


Love to all,
Brandon, Jennifer, Anneliese and Ainsley
