(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.

First Easter
(3m 19d)
Noah enjoyed his first Easter, visiting Nana and Grandpa's church. Emma and Aunt Becky and Uncle Dan were there, too! Then we went to Aunt Lori and Uncle Scott's for Easter dinner. Cousin Christopher was always wanting to hold Noah. Cousin Cheyenne is not really interested in him so much. Noah got a very cute present from Robin, Scott's half sister. It is a sing and play puppy, that does just that if you press his ears, hands, ect...Noah just loves it!
He is still doing well sleeping through the night; about 12 hours in total, but does wake up at some point, usually 430am for a feeding. He is such a good baby, so calm and even tempered. He has such a good spirit and it always happy! He is such a blessing!
I am sad that I am going back to work next week. I have so enjoyed my time home with Noah. It is only part time, though. Joe will watch him the days he is not working, and if we both happen to be working, Nana (Sandi) will watch him for a few hours in the morning, until I get out of work. It will be tough with no sleep, but at least Noah is staying out of day care, which is the most important thing!
He is going for his 4 month check up and next series of shots next Friday. I can't believe he will be 4 months on May 2! He is trying to roll over, he gets on his side, but those arms and shoulders tend to get in the way! He is not liking tummy time so much anymore. He used to love it! And when I put him on his play mat, he moves himself around in a circle! I put him down in one direction, and before you know it, he is totally facing the other way! He loves to pull on the monkey's legs that hang from the arch above the play mat. It is so good seeing him develop more each day!

Sleeping through the night...
(3m 5d)
I am so excited that I have to write! Noah slept 8 1/2 hrs last night!!! I need to note, it has been a week since I moved him out of the bassinet from our room, to his own crib in his room. I wonder if I made this transition sooner, if he would have slept through the night earlier? This is the first time he has slept through the night and we are so excited for him. He had a nice bath (playing and relaxing)and br fed well and went to bed. Next thing I knew, it was 545am! He soaked through his diaper and I had to change his clothes and give him his medicine (zantac for reflux) and he smiled! Usually he gets mad if I change him and give his medicine before he eats, but this morning he was laughing and smiling! What 8 hrs of sleep will do for a kid!

Welcome to Noah's page!
Noah is 3 months and 4 days
Joe thought it would be a good idea to keep friends and family up to date on Noah's latest experiences and pictures, so we are starting this web site.
Each month on the 2nd, we have been video taping him, showing his growth and development. I state his latest endevors while recording him for a few minutes. It has been fun watching him change these past 3 months. We must have at least 400 photos of him already, or it seems like that much. I just can't get over how much we love this little baby! He has been a blessing and a joy and we thank God every day for him!
What's new with Noah? He laughs and smiles so much! He always wakes up with a big stretch and a big wide open-mouth smile. He loves bath time, relaxing in his baby tub and kicking in the water. He loves when mommy sings to him and he "sings" back! His 3 favorite songs are 'Mrs.O'Leary' (a cow kicked a lantern over and started a barn fire).. '5 little monkeys' (jump on a bed and bang their heads) and '5 little ducks' (go out to play, get lost and get yelled at by their dad)... Noah has a great sense of humor!!!
He loves having converstations with his "friends", the bears on his swing, the animals on his crib mobile and the velcro guys that hang from his boucer.
He started sleeping in his crib 2 night before turning 3 months. Until then, he was next to me in a bassinet that we borrowed from our friend, Chrissy. It was so hard moving him there, but he needed to have a more consistant place to sleep (and larger). Plus, as I am going back to work in a few weeks, he needs to be settled in his crib.
He is still nursing every 3 hrs during the day and goes about 5 hrs at night. I am hoping he will sleep through the night by the time I go back to work, so Joe can get a good night sleep for work. (I will be working night shift.) Joe's mom will be watching Noah in the mornings that our work schedules over lap for a few hours. We are so thankful!
Thanks to everyone for all of your support, prayers and love during my pregnancy and child birth. It means a lot to Joe and I to have such great friends and family. Noah is very blessed to be loved so much!
