Ava's First Birthday

Ava turned 1 on August 6th! Happy Birthday Ava! Noah got to go to her birthday party! This was the first birthday party that Noah has been to. He had a BIG time...

Ava enjoyed putting her face in the cake :)

Noah chilled in Ava's Elmo chair!

2 Months Old-July 28th

Here is a pic of Noah from his 2 month birthday. I am a bit behind... He is growing so fast! He was weighed on Monday and he was 15lbs, 11oz!!! I can't believe it!

Visit From "Aunt" Sarah

Sarah, thanks for coming all the way from Austin, TX to visit Noah back in June when Noah was only about 1 month old. Thanks for the "Pat the Bunny" and "Peter Rabbit" books, Noah loves them.

This is the link to Shutterfly that Sarah sent of more pics from when she was in town. Noah was about 4 weeks old in these pics:

He was so tiny (compared to now...)!!!

Noah's First time in Sunday School

Noah went to Sunday School for the first time 2 weekends ago! Grandma Shirley said that he smiled when it was his turn to ring the bell :)

Stanton-10 Year Reunion

David's 10 year reunion was 2 weekends ago. Saturday night was an event at a hotel and it was not appropriate for babies, so we had to leave Noah :( This was the first time Mom and Dad had been away from him for more than an hour. He went to stay with Rodney and Susan, luckily their house was not far from the hotel where the event took place. Noah had a great time playing with them. They spent time cuddling and having tummy time :) We didn't even call to check on him all night! We knew he was in good hands!!

On Sunday, there was a family event at Stanton HS, so David got to bring Noah an show him off. David and Noah took a pic together in the courtyard at Stanton!

Life at Home with Noah!

Sorry I am running a bit behind on the blog! It has been very busy in our house!!!

I have at least 4 emails to return, a few calls to make, 4-5 loads of laundry to do, a sink full of dishes to wash, but baby comes before those things. Things will get done after I feed him, bathe him, play with him, comfort him, cuddle him, change him, sing to him, dress him, teach him, etc.!

Right now he is sleeping so maybe can get in a "post" or two...

2 Month Check-Up

Well, I was kind of looking forward to the vaccinations for selfish reasons, being that I would be able to get "out and about" more! I have been dying to go to Target :) David came along to help in case it was traumatic for Noah, I don't think he realized that it would be me that needed the comforting! The nurse was so nice and sweet. We asked if we needed to hold Noah, she said no b/c he was sleeping. Noah was going to get 3 shots and be caught totally off-guard since he was asleep :( As soon as Noah got the first poke, his little face turned beet red and he couldn't catch his breath to scream for a couple of seconds. I will never forget the look on his face!! Luckily, the nurse was very quick with the needles and soon it was over. Noah got over it quickly and was calm in a few minutes. On the other hand, I was the one who was more upset! It was so hard to watch my baby get all of those shots and that red little face...

The doctor said that he was doing great! 13lbs 14oz now and 24.5 inches long. He was in the 90th percentile for his height. Our next doctor appointment is at four months!

Tummy Time

Noah practices lifting his head daily on his playmat! He can lift his head for a couple of seconds now. He also likes to look at the toys dangling from his playmat.

Atlantic Beach

Thanks so much to Krissy Weeks for our final photo shoot last weekend. She has taken 4 sets of photos beginning the 4th month of our pregnancy! We had so much fun! We took pictures in Atlantic Beach, luckly we were near a pier so we had some shade in the Florida heat! Baby Noah did great!!!

These pics are just some that I took, but the professional pictures can be viewed at Krissy's website:
