All work and no play... (8.9.07)

...makes Mommy very SLEEPY!!!

"...if they don't win it's a shame!" (8.7.07)

Here's our little Cubs fan!

Thanks for the great outfit Kristine!!!

Rolling...really! (7.27.07)

Rob likes to play little trick on me now that I'm back at work. You know, I'll come home after a long day, and he'll say something like, "Noah said 'Daddy' today". I'll reply, "Sure he did," and roll my eyes at him. So I get home on Friday (the 27th), after coming through a monsoon (I almost got swept away coming up Speer Blvd!), and Rob says, "Noah rolled over today!" "Sure," I say. "No, really," he says. So, after asking for the details again and again, I verified the information the next morning, when, during "naked time" in his crib (dr. says it's important to air out all his little bits from time to time), he rolled right over from his tummy to his back. I think it's early, he must be advanced! That's our boy!

4 Month Check-Up (8.16.07)

Noah's 4-Month check-up was on the 16th! It went really well! He weighs 14 pounds and 6 ounces, which puts him into the 45% (he was barely in the 10% when he was born). All that eating is paying off, he's catching up. He's a hair over 24 inches long, and his head has grown over an inch in 2 months (must be all those brains!!!). The doctor says he's doing great and expects to see him getting teeth pretty soon! He did need four more shots (ouch), which were probably worse for Mommy than Noah. Thanks to Grandma for coming along for moral support while Daddy was stuck at work!

Super Baby! (7.29.07)

Noah loves the view from up above Mommy or Daddy's head!

Video... how cool!

How exciting, now we can do video! So, this is an old one (from my first day back at work in July, but it's my absolute favorite!), but it's soooo funny!

Enjoy!

Noah's New Toy! (7.29.07)

Noah has a new toy! Great Grandma and Grandpa Prucha got him a "Baby Einstein" Exersaucer type thing for my baby shower that Noah is finally (almost) big enough to use!

Notice how his feet don't touch! He loves it though, especially the round things that make all kinds of noises, and the animal noise buttons!

"Look Mom, no feet!!!"

I love this thing!

Thumbs (7.27.07)

Noah is so sleepy (and so is Daddy!)

Look at those little fingers and that BIG thumb!

I'm still here!

It's been a while, I know... so I'm going to really update this blog (from the last month!). You'll have so much to look at! Life has been super hectic since returning to work, and it's hard to stay caught up. I'll try a little harder though! We've been very busy as you'll see!

life of the party...

Today was Noah's first party! We headed over to the Jimmerson's to celebrate Lydia's 4th Birthday. (Can't believe that she's four!!!) Below are some pix from the party!

The Birthday Girl!

Jack with his new fire trucks. He loved to count them, except apparently he "hates the number 4" (says Erinn) and kept counting them "1, 2, 3, 5, 6" (There were only 5!)

Rob's trying to free Lydia's new "My Little Ponies" (Everything old is new again... I still have boxes of those in my parents storage room)

Party Pooper!

Noah hates napping!

Noah has decided that he hates to nap, it's like a dirty word! I swear he cries when he hears it. We met with our new nanny today (hooray Jen!!), and she asked about his napping routine...ha! After I said that he didn't really have one, or care for napping, he decided to show off and fall asleep in her arms. But, once we were back to the car, the game was up, and he was wide awake. He did fall asleep for a brief period this afternoon (grand total: 19 minutes), and slept in his crib (yes, his crib!!!) for about 30 minutes... bringing the grand total of "day time sleep" to a whopping 1 hour and 3 1/2 minutes! Above is a photo of Noah taking a (very short) cat nap in his crib!

Noah and Daddy Time...

While I've been at work missing my boys, they're having a great time at home!!! They also take LOTS of pictures together! Here's a sampling from the last two weeks...

Enjoying time in the Bumbo (thanks Paul!)

That's enough pictures for today Daddy!

"hi!"

Noah is having SO much fun!!!

This is Noah's FDNY Onesie we got for him in New York in January!

(Thanks Whitney and Matt!)

Rolly Poley...

Noah is trying so hard to role over! As Rob says, "It's funny and sad at the same time!" He gets over to his side, and can't figure out how to get all the way onto his tummy. I know he'll get it any day now!

Cuddles...

Mommy has to get lots of cuddles in! I'm trying really hard not to work too much... I miss my little boy!

Monkey Business...

I took a few cute photos of Noah in his "Monkey Business" T-shirt and cute little jeans, just lounging on the couch. It's amazing how fast he is growing!


This was on our last day together before I went back to work... Monday, July 9th.

Of course, I'm devestated to not be able to spend every single day with him, but I'm trying to look at it as an opportunity for him to have some great bonding time with his daddy and grandma (thanks Mom!).

So, we have a "blog"...

Hi All,
Never thought I would be so high-tech to have a blog! As usual, a great idea from Sarah! This way I won't have to send out my weekly e-mails of how adorable little Noah is, you can just check it at your leisure! I think I'm turning into one of "those moms"... you know the ones, they can't stop talking about their babies, showing pictures to everyone at work, etc. I'm sure my coworkers are probably getting sick of hearing about his every latest development already, but at least they fake being interested!

So, please enjoy these updates of our sweet little guy! I'll try my best to update at least once a week!
