A Week of "Firsts"

This past week has been both good AND bad......

The Good:
* We took some "real" family pictures. Our first "real" ones, and they turned out great! (see below)
* We took Noah to his first wedding reception. He had a great time being passed around by our friends and getting snuggled and loved on. Everyone said he was "so adorable!" How could they not think that? ;)
* Not so much "good" as it was "fun," but Jen started back to work this week. Of course her first day back had to be when Noah first started getting sick. Needless to say, it sure made for a loooooooooooooong day at work for her.
* Noah laughed out loud for the first time this week. A few times actually. Can't wait for him to do it ALL the time! =)

The Bad:
* Noah had his first stomach bug this week. Have NO idea where he could have possibly gotten it, but it's definitely scary and heartbreaking to watch your baby throw up and be sick.
* Noah also had his first cold virus this week too. He sounded SO pitiful when he would cry because he was so hoarse. :(
* Not so much "bad" as it is "sad," but Noah outgrew his "N" (newborn) diapers and advanced up to his first pair of "1's." He even has outgrown a few more outfits. He's growing up WAY too fast....

Noah-licious

We're SO glad we got a new camera this past Christmas. We probably use it several times every day. Can you guess what we take most of our pictures of? ;)

Out for a walk..... he generally sleeps. ;)

Two Months Old!

It seems like just yesterday we blogged about Noah being one month old. Now he's TWO months old! Seriously? We've been parents for two months now?

Noah's just growing up SO fast and getting bigger and bigger right before our eyes! He is holding his head up for longer periods of time, standing up for longer periods of time, "talking" more and more, smiling all the time, trying SO hard to roll over, and gaining weight like crazy. He's even outgrown some of his newborn clothes already.

His nightly routine is still working amazingly well for both him AND us. The days and nights have been MUCH more pleasant. ;) Now we are working on a nap routine since he fights sleep during the day like you wouldn't believe! Yesterday it worked like a charm. Today Jen and Noah had plans during "nap time," so they'll try again tomorrow. ;)

Here's some recent pictures. =)
