It took Noah almost 2 weeks to get over that cold! He was also wheezing, and was on albuterol treatments. This concerns me, as he also has eczema. I hope this does not turn into an asthma/allergies/eczema thing for life!
I had a wonderful first mothers day! It was so amazing to remember back that a year before, it was that day that Noah was conceived! and then on my 31st bday, it was great to remember that was the day we found out that I was pregnant!
He is so funny now, he is discovering other parts of his body! He was patting his knees and so I showed him that he had toes and feet and oh, the look on his face was priceless! Wide eyes and a big open mouth, as if to say, "Those are mine??!!" It is so funny to watch him playing with his toes, I just wait for the day that he tries to put them into his mouth! He loves when I kiss his feet, and when I am doing it, he raises his foot to my mouth, he is just so funny!
He is going through some kind of irritable/cranky/don't want to sleep-stage. Not sure if he is teething, but he does love to chew on everything, including his hands and is drooling so much!
We are opening the pool up next weekend, I can't wait to get him in there!

First cold
(4m 10d)
Noah has his first cold. Joe called me at work at 230am the other night, Noah was screaming in the back ground. I felt so absolutely horrible that I had to be at work and not home to comfort my sick baby. Yesterday morning, he was nasally congested and irritable, and then in the afternoon, was sneezing and had a clear runny nose. He only felt good when sitting up right or when nursing. Unfortunately, I had to sleep for work, as I was already awake for over 24 hrs. I gave him some pediacare and tylenol, hoping he slept through the night for Joe. Poor little guy, I bet it was that toddler that ran up to him at the nutritionists office and was touching him. I guess this will start getting his immune system prepared!

growing baby!
(4m 7d)
I just can't get over how much Noah is changing! He is laughing now, giggling and screaches in pure delight! He sleeps so well through the night and wakes up in a happy mood! He is grabbing his toys with his hands now and starting to put things in his mouth. It's fun watching him explore his toys and have fun playing with them!
He is getting so close to rolling over from his back to his stomach. It will be any day now. He has really good head control, too. He loves to sit in his high chair and play with his toys and watch mommy cook or do the dishes. He also loves to watch the poodles playing. I love that he notices them now. They are very sweet and gentle to Noah, too.
We went to visit Scott and Jen yesterday, and Noah played in the boy's outdoor fisher price red plastic swing. He really liked it! We have to put ours up soon.
It is just amazing to see the change in him in just a few days. He has not been in his inside swing for about a week, and today, he just realized the toys on the tray are fun and make noise! He is giggling and laughing and making them move and make noise!! I just can't get over his development. I know this is all normal baby stuff, but I am just in aww!!!
He does not need his swaddle me or wedge in his crib anymore. It's funny, he wakes up at the top of his crib every night; I guess he just wiggles his way up there.
I forget how little he was when he was born. Friends and coworkers remind me, when they see him again. I don't remember. I am glad we have video and pictures. I just measured his feet against his new born footprints from the hospital; they have grown 2 cm! I should compare his head!

Don't want to go back to work
(4m 2d)
I have returned to work, which makes me sad. I really enjoyed being home with Noah. I am part time at least, and I can be with him 4 days at week. I am working at night, so I nurse Noah and put him to bed. Joe gives him a bottle around 430am or when ever Noah wakes up and then he goes back to sleep. I get to nurse him when I get home from work, so it is not too bad.
Noah is growing and changing every day! He loves to sleep, and will usually sleep 8-11 hrs at night, wake up to nurse and then go back to sleep for an hour or two. He still loves to be swaddled for sleeping, but I am sure once he starts rolling, he will be done with it.
I can't wait for the pool to be open this summer, he will hopefully love swimming with Emma and playing outside!
Noah went for his 4 month check up on April 28th. He weighed 14.4 and was 23 3/4 inches. He is in the 10th percentile for his height and 25th for his weight. He did not like the shots at all; he cried really hard, which broke my heart. But the dr said he is doing really well and can't believe it is the same baby!! He said we can start giving him solid foods at any time now. I am just going to wait until he can sit up more on his own.
