Wordless Wednesday

Grandma's and Grandpa's

Noah has had a busy week with visits from some of his grandparents. He's so blessed to have grandparents that love him so much!

Last Sunday evening, Grammy and Doc came to visit. It had been a couple of weeks since we had seen them last so we were very happy to they were able to stop by.

This past week, Kerri's Dad came to visit with his wife, Laurie, from Wisconsin. It had been about 2 years since we had seen them so you can only imagine how excited we were that they could come visit. They were able to stay a few days and get in lots of bonding time with Noah. This was their first time to see Noah and they were so happy to meet him! And you can see that Lola made sure she was in the picture too!

After all these visitors, Noah was exhausted!

But he can't wait to see this Grandma again in a couple of months!

One Month

Noah, you are one month old today! Daddy and I cannot believe how fast this past month has gone by. You have grown so much already and we can't wait to see how much more you will grow in the coming months. Right now, you

• would much rather be held than sitting or laying down.
• do not like getting dressed or getting your diaper changed (most of the time).
• are beginning to enjoy bath time a little more, especially when we run your head under the water to rinse. That's usually the only part of bath time when you aren't fussing. ha!
• are eating really well. I think you must be going through a growth spurt because sometimes it seems you want to eat every hour!
• are sleeping at night much better, too! Mommy has finally gained enough emotional strength to let you sleep in your crib in your room instead of in the pack-n-play in Mommy and Daddy's room. You usually only wake up once in the night and then again around 6 or 7 in the morning. You also take about 2 or 3 good naps a day.
• are beginning to make more sounds like cooing. You love to have "conversations" with Mommy. 
• are also beginning to make more facial expressions. We're still waiting for that first "real" smile and know that Mommy will just melt when you do!

Your first week at home

Tummy Time

Last week we started doing Tummy Time with Noah to help strengthen his arms and legs. It also seems to help with his fussiness (sometimes). He likes to lay on his belly. Today he wasn't too into Tummy Time, he's usually a little more active on the mat.

And here are a few random pics from the last week (for the grandparents..ha!).
