Random Pictures of Noah

Sorry we are so bad about keeping this updated lately. We have taken pictures; its just hard to find the time to sit down and blog them. Here are a bunch of random pictures we have taken of Noah just because...

He loves our bed...

Noah is getting very big. He is on a pretty regular schedule now. He will take a bath and get ready for bed at night, usually before dinner. Then he eats and is ready to sleep at 8. We try to keep him up a little bit longer but the lavender baby shampoo really puts him out. He wakes up for a feeding around 2-2:30. We both end up falling asleep in his bedroom. Then I put him in his bed and go back to mine. If I am lucky, he sleeps until 6-6:30 then wakes up to eat again. Sometimes he wakes up when I put him back in bed and just wants to snuggle. We are staying up more during the day but when we go out for walks or play group, he just falls asleep. Anyway, things are going great, he's growing like a weed and we all love him so much, especially Gabbie.

Meet the Christensen Family!

Kyle and Christy met in August of 2005, officially started dating on the 5th of July 2006, and got engaged to be married on November 16, 2006.

They were married in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple in American Fork, Utah on the 17th of February, 2007. In June of 2009 we moved to Houston, Texas.

Gabriella was born on December 4. She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce when she was born and was 20.5 inches long at that time. Since then, she has grown a whole lot and consistently measures in the 100th percentile among children of her age in categories of both weight and height. She loves anything to do with Mickey Mouse. She also loves reading anything she can get her hands on and pretending to be a princess.

Noah was born on July 10. He weighed 8 pounds .08 ounces when he was born and was also 20.5 inches tall. He has a very patient personality and really loves his big sister despite her struggles with no longer being the only child. He also is the teaser of the family.

Lizzie was born on December 17. She weighed in at 5 pounds 12 ounces and was 18 inches long. When she was first born we thought she was going to be our quiet child. Boy were we wrong. She is demanding and will scream at you to let you know she needs some attention. At this point, she is a complete Momma's girl.

In August 2007, Christy started her 2nd year as a 2nd Grade Teacher. She Graduated on April 27, 2007 from BYU with a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. At the end of the 2007-2008 school year Christy retired from teaching and became a stay at home mom.

In April of 2009 Kyle graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in English Education with a Psychology minor. While in his studies at BYU he has had an emphasis in Critical Rhetorical Theory specifically dealing with issues of Class, Gender, and Race in the Literary, Political and Pedagogical realms. Kyle no longer teaches. He has moved on to the Human Resources field. The company he works for now has great benefits and advancement opportunities. We can't wait to see what the future will bring with this new position.

Taylor has graduated high school and no longer lives with us. She will forever have a place in our home though and will always be a part of our family. Good luck to her as she heads off to BYU-I to study Recreational Therapy.
