I am typically not the step on the scale everyday kind of gal - but halfway through my 30th year - I better start thinking about it! My mom always warned me about 30.

Hi! I am baby Noah! Come and follow me on a little journey around my yard. I just figured out how to crawl and not scoot. I made sure to learn to crawl correctly while my mom and dad where in Romania. Made my mom sad, but she'll get over it!
