Our Little Stinker: June 2014

Start of summer

This summer has started off rainy and hot. It's a bummer we have had so much rain after quite a snowy, cold winter but we have to make do! Noah has been enjoying swimming with our wonderful nanny who takes him while her kids have swim lessons. He has also been to the Splash Pad with Nick and I a few times.

Nick's mom was kind enough to come watch Noah this past weekend so Nick and I could go to my college best friend's wedding and be baby free! It was wonderful to enjoy ourselves without worrying about Noah's meltdowns.

I turned away for a minute and this is where I found Noah...

9 month update!

Noah is 9 months!

He is HUGE...he weighs about 25 pounds and is very strong!

Noah has 8 teeth.

He pulls himself to stand and can walk holding onto tables, etc. Noah is a crawling and standing maniac.

Noah started waving back at people when they wave. It's not all the time but when he does it, I find it adorable!

Naps can be one 30 minute nap or two 40 minute ones or one 1-1.5 hour one during the day...your guess is as good as mine! It's beyond frustrating that he has no consistency day to day.

Sleep at night can be 7-10 hours overnight. There are nights he is still up a few times. Some days he wakes up at 4am...other days, 5am. Wayyy too early for our liking. Our Noah appears not to need sleep. I am so jealous when I see sleeping babies in strollers, etc. Noah needs a bottle to go to sleep and a pitch black room...I don't know how the heck we will break that habit.

We love our crazy, high strung, extremely alert stinker.

I have the best brother & sister and Noah has the best aunty and uncle!

Mommy survived a week away!

I went on my Monday-Friday work trip last week. I had such a great time and even got to sleep 8 hours/night without worrying if Noah would be up any minute. I couldn't have had this trip without my amazing husband, wonderful sister, and sweet nanny. They all went above and beyond to take care of Noah while I was away!

After traveling alone on the flight and remembering our plane ride with Noah, Nick and I decided we won't be traveling with Noah unless it is absolutely necessary (in other words...only if we have to move someday). We will gladly pay for an overnight babysitter so that we can go on a trip child-free!

Here are some photos from my week away that I received via text:
