Smiley

Below we have some rare photographs of the elusive Noah smile. Be warned, these photographs may contain levels of cuteness not suitable for the faint of heart... View at your own risk.
Seen here in the jungles of Africa, we were lucky to have the camera ready for Noah's dimply cheeks.
The smile was captured here in the midst of a frequent diaper changing ritual...
Though not smiling here, we have caught a pose just as elusive as the smile. Here we have the fencing postition. En guarde ye scurvy dogs!

Pictures!!!

Family picture time!! Hoorah! A few weeks ago we went up to Mueller Park and took some family pictures. The leaves were amazing! I'd never been to Mueller Park before and rounding the corner at the top of the mountain when all the beautiful leaves came into view took our breath away.

Stealing a quick kiss while Noah was distracted.

Our first official family pictures. Noah's such a stud, holding his head up already :)

My brother Aaron and his fiance Rochelle. He told us that day that they are engaged! We love her! I'm so excited for her to join our family. Their wedding date will be 12/30, which is also my parent's anniversary.

Mama and Papa McCombs with baby Asher.

Tyler and Aaron, my brothers (I think they both look exactly like my dad). Tyler just got his mission call to South Africa. He'll be camping out with the hippos and giraffes.

Baby Asher looking perfect as can be ('sup ladies!).

The whole family (minus Rochelle-we didn't know at the time that they were engaged or she would have been in the picture).

So that's my family! I'm glad we were able to get some good pictures of us with the gorgeous fall leaves! Everything is going really well. I'm probably going back to work on November 17th, though I really don't want to go. It's been so much fun being a full time mom these past few weeks, I don't want to give it up. Leaving Noah will be next to impossible, but what can I do? At least I'm lucky enough to have great friends I get to work with. I'll just miss my baby boy. We're excited for Noah's first Halloween (though we couldn't find a costume small enough for him). He'll be dressing up as himself, because honestly, what could be cooler? Loves from our family!

Noah's 1st bath

Noah's first bath wasn't today, it was a few weeks ago....but we just barely uploaded the video. So don't go thinking that we just got around to washing our baby, it just isn't true.

Luckily Noah LOVES baths, so it's a happy time for him :)

Hiya!

It's been a crazy month in the Allred home. Noah is now one month old and such a sweetheart. Even now, not long after his birth, it's hard to imagine what I did with the abundant free time I had pre-baby. We've had A LOT of sleepless nights and lots of tears, but he's such a cute little monkey that it's worth it.

Noah's first trip to the mountains. This was taken up at the Alpine Loop.

Sleeping in his carrier...

The fall leaves were gorgeous!

Flashing a little smile ;)

Olive loves giving Noah kisses, Noah doesn't like it so much...

This is my pouty face, give me a kiss...

Bathtime! He loves the water.Post-bathtime. Olive wants a sniff...

Noah giving himself a big hug!
