Noah's 1st Thanksgiving!

We enjoyed Noah's first Thanksgiving at my parents' house this year.  My brother was also there but my sister couldn't make it home so we Skyped with her.  Noah LOVES Skyping with her (he is quite obsessed with the TV, phones, and computer screen....taking after daddy!)

 

 

 

 

 

This is a baby photo of my dad...we think Noah looks just like him!

Noah loves bathtime!

Another lazy weekend 11/22-11/24/13

Nick finished up his paternity leave this week (he could have taken up to 3 months but we just had him do 3 weeks :) ) and I will be off this upcoming week before we both go back to work December 1st.  It will be crazy and an interesting ride when we are both back to work!

Here are some photos from the weekend.  We just hung out at home and had Grandpa and Grandma watch Noah while we ran errands!

Noah does NOT enjoy hats!

Lazy Weekend 11/15-11/17/2013

Nick left yesterday for his Grandma's funeral out east so it is just Noah and me!  I worked Friday so Grandpa and Grandma watched Noah and I will work again tomorrow (Sunday) so Noah will be with the grandparents until Nick gets home.

This next week will be Nick's last week home with Noah.  I will take Thanksgiving week off then we both go back to work the week of December 1st (chaos!).  I am so excited for my sister to be home mid December-mid January so she can nanny Noah and make some money over her break!

The doctor told us Noah needed to start napping on his mattress (and not in our arms) a few weeks ago so when JoJo was here, she got him to start taking a few short naps in his swing.  Nick has continued with this during his time off so Noah is actually taking one to three 15-60 minute naps throughout the day...which is still not a lot, but better than none!  We will work on sleeping on the mattress down the road :)  baby steps....!

Here are a few photos from the week:

Noah HATES tummy time...this lasted a whole 30 seconds!

When I work days shift, Noah will sit in his bouncy seat while I shower at night and then he gets his bath when I'm done.  Here is a short clip of him in his bouncy chair:

Weekend Fun 11/8-11/11/2013

I was fortunate enough to have a 4 day weekend this weekend (Thank you, Veterans and all those that serve!).  We mostly just hung around the house playing with Noah and made a few trips to Grandpa and Grandma's of course.  

Noah used to HATE the swing but now will actually sit in it for a little while!  He especially loves to look at stuffed animals that we put in front of him while he is in the swing.

He also LOVES looking in mirrors.  We have a big wall mirror in our family room for him to play in front of and my parents bought a small handheld mirror for their house that they hold up for him and he smiles at himself!

Here are some photos from the weekend!:

Loves holding on to the ring! (we put his hand on there first :) )

Weekend Fun 11/1-11/3

I'm a bit behind on posting...this was my 2nd week back at work.  Nick stayed home with Noah and I worked 7-3pm every day.  I try to get Noah to bed around 7:30-8:00pm since he only sleeps 2 hours (give or take an hour) at a time so I go to bed when he does when I'm working the day shift.  

We had to say Goodbye to Oma (Nick's mom) on Saturday, November 2nd.  Noah enjoyed his snuggles and love from her!  She was nice enough to take care of Noah while Nick and I worked.

When we dropped Oma off at the airport Saturday morning, we picked up my Aunt JoJo (my dad's sister) for a last minute trip here.  Nick and I had to work Saturday and Sunday so Jojo, my dad, and mom took care of Noah while we worked.

Noah showing off his new skill!

Noah's first Halloween!

Nick and I had to work Halloween night so Noah and Nick's mom handed out candy to the kiddos!  I dressed Noah up before work just so I could get a few photos.  Here are a few from his photo shoot:

Noah's 2 month appointment!

Noah had his 2 month appointment this week.  He weighs 14 pounds 4 ounces and is 24 inches.  He is in the 92 percentile for height and weight and 98th for the circumference of his head :)

We got new medication for his reflux so we will see if this improves it at all.  The doctor said we need to get him on a better nap/sleep routine so Nick is in charge of that on his month off from work :) 

Here are some pre-shot photos!  He had 4 shots total, screamed his head off in the doctor office and way home but was fine after that!

Since last Wednesday was Noah's pout face, this Wednesday's photos will be all about Noah's smiles!:
