Here we are, our little family of five, on the night we brought Baby Glo home from the hospital. I know you thought we disappeared with the birth of our third daughter, but we have actually just been really busy. And having lots of fun. 
Glori is such a joy! At 7 lbs 7 oz. she is the tiniest Noll baby by about a pound and a half, and it has taken me a while to get used to! But she is putting on some chub nicely and I am excited for her 2 wk. appointment on Tuesday to see how she has gained. She sleeps like crazy, and prefers to sleep cuddled close. At night she is going about 4 or 5 hour stretches between feedings, and about 3 hours during the days. She has been more and more alert each day this last few which has been fun to watch. And, of course, it was my mom who got the first real smile out of her today. She always does! We are all pretty taken with her, especially her big sisters. Well, especially Noa. Martha usually has a moment to say hi and smile at Glo, but that’s about it. Noa just loves touching her, holding her, and staring at her. But anyone who knows Noa could have predicted that.
So anyway, here are few photos from our last week and a half with our newest little girl. Eric has been busy with work and school, but having Mom here has been an amazing blessing. My sister, Martha flew in Thursday night for a long weekend, so that has been super fun as well. Having a new baby makes life so exciting on so many levels!

All the Noll Girls:
Noa’s new favorite activity
All of us seem to be missing our times of just the three of us, so we are making up for it with lots of extra cuddles and snuggles, and hugs and kisses throughout the day. For the most part, both big sisters seem to be adjusting to sharing their parents with the new baby, but they are a little bit clingy-er at times than normal. I don’t mind, though.
sleeping sweetness
Having “Baba” here is just the greatest!
The first car ride with all three girls in the car. The station wagon will definitely feel fuller with Gloria’s tiny body and big ‘ol car seat in there now!
Noa adores time with Aunt Martha. We’re so glad she’s here!
