That Nurse is Mean...

This week Noah went to the Dr. for his 2 month check up. After spending many days screaming at the top of his lungs for no reason at all, he behaved like a perfect angel for his Dr. She was very impressed. He is like a squeaky car that stops squeaking when you get to the shop...

Noah now weighs 12 lbs. 12 oz. and is 23.5 inches long. That means he has grown 1 lb. and 10 oz. and 1 whole inch in a month! He is in the average range for height and weight, evening out after being a very large baby. He was all smiles during the appointment until the end... time for shots!

He was given 1 oral vaccine and 3 shots. 1 of the shots was a combo of 4 vaccines so it could have been worse! As soon as the nurse stuck his first leg, he looked very confused and then proceeded to scream like I have never heard him scream before. It was a sad cry :( It was definitely different than his regular cries. After the mean nurse was done, I nursed him but it didn't make him feel much better.

When we got home Noah was already asleep and napped for a long while. When he finally woke up, he had a fever, a common side effect from vaccines. He had a fever on and off for almost 48 hours and was very sad the whole time. I could tell he didn't feel well and it really broke my heart. My poor baby :(

Luckily he feels much better now. Today he managed to poop all over at least 3 outfits (the day isn't over!), pee on both myself and his Nanny who is visiting. He was very happy most of the day and hung out with Nanny and Poppy and also tried out his bumbo seat. He is happily trying to eat his hand while he hangs out with his Daddy at the moment.

I am not looking forward to immunizations round 2 at the 4 month check up. It is sad for all of us but is very important for Noah's health so we will power through!

Sooooooo Big!

2 months old!

Well someone has been lazy... and it wasn't Noah! Sorry for my blog negligence recently, I have my hands full with a 2 month old now! Look how much he has changed...

Noah is 2 months old today. I can hardly believe it! He smiling and laughing and "talking" up a storm. He loves to look at himself in his activity mat mirror and have heated debates with the Mirror Noah. He also is starting to imitate smiles and laughs when talking with his Daddy and me.

Another new thing is that Koa seems to have taken to him and decided that she is his kitty mom. Whenever Noah cries, she runs over to him and meows. If I am not right there, say Noah is on his mat and I am in the kitchen, Koa will run in the kitchen, jump on the counter and meow at me- "HEY! He is crying!!" She loves to sit right next to him when he is eating and snuggle gently against his side. Hemmingway however isn't quite there yet but he has been more tolerant of Noah's presence in the house. Baby steps...

Noah also had his first Super Bowl. It was an unfortunate game but at least he was cute!

He is so big now! Today in the Shaws, Noah was strapped to his Daddy's chest in his Sleepy Wrap and a guy who was looking at pickles asked how old he was. When Jake replied 2 months, the guy exclaimed "He is gonna be BIG!". ummmm thanks? I am not sure how to respond to that really but right now he is just the right size. The perfect size for cuddles :)






















Next time: Noah's 2 month check up and first immunizations! 
Will Mommy cry? Probably...

we have grabbing!!

Noah grabbed onto a toy on his activity mat for the first time today! He has so much fun playing on the mat and I can really see progress from when he first started playing there. At first it was just laying but now he really plays! Proud mama today!

6 weeks old!

Yesterday marked 6 weeks since Noah was born. I can hardly believe it! 6 weeks of anything else seems so long but 6 weeks of being a mom and spending time with such an adorable bundle of cuteness has really flown by.

Noah really has a personality now. He smiles and laughs all the time now. He loves changing time and he just lays on his mat and giggles and smiles at us. He giggles more if he is naked. He is sleeping great, usually up only once in the middle of the night and then once early in the morning around 5AM. If he goes to bed earlier then he might be up twice but usually still sleeps for about 3 hours in between waking up. He also has moved into his crib from the play pen in our bedroom and has been sleeping like a trooper in his cute nursery.

Here are some pics from my phone from recently to show how much Noah is changing everyday. Our little boy is growing up so fast!

So handsome!

Mommy's little guy

So many smiles!!

Soooo sleepy...

Walking with Daddy in the Ergo (more like sleeping in the Ergo...)

So grown up!

Growing Big & Strong!

Noah and I had an adventure to the Dr. today! We broke out the Ergo carrier for the very first time and it was great. He protested at first but fell asleep almost as soon as I started walking. We took at pit stop so Noah could see everyone's least favorite place in Davis Sq, the Traffic and Parking Office, so Mommy and Daddy's car could have new permits. Then on to the Dr!

Noah now weights 11 lbs. 2. oz, gaining not quite a whole pound in 2 weeks. He is 22.5 inches long/tall, growing a whole inch in 2 weeks! He is in the 80th percentile for weight and 92nd for height!!

On the walk home, Noah was wide awake and looking around from his comfy spot against my chest in his Ergo. Apart from a giggle or a noise of discontent when the sun shined in his eyes, he was quiet the whole time just taking in the sights on our walk. He is now fast asleep.
