6 months 2 weeks

I'm currently sitting in the car parked at 4th and liberty waiting for Rudy to get off work. Noah is taking a much needed nap in the car seat. This picking up Rudy at midnight thing is getting old-I hope he gets his work car soon! It's not so much that I mind coming to get him, I just hate waking up Noah when he's already asleep! Although, today he woke up at 11, so I just headed down here earlier rather than put him back to sleep just to wake him up a few minutes later.

We've had a pretty nice weekend. Rudy was off saturday so he watched Noah while I worked a few hours then we went to a birthday party for rudys boss' son. It was pretty cool. Then we decided to take advantage of Rudy being off on a Saturday and took Noah to hang out with my parents and went and saw 'hot tub time machine' we both really liked it, plus it was nice just to go, we don't go to the movies much anymore.

Rudy had to work all day today but Noah and I did have lunch with Mary today. Noah was cranky, so it wasn't as much fun as usual. (he needed a nap)

As usual, the weekend passed with lightning speed, and I have to return to work tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get to go home and sleep soon!!

6 Months 1 Week

Okay, so a little over a week, but my goal was to update at least once a week so I'll just update again this weekend.

Noah is a crawling, sitting, playing machine! He is so much happier now that he can play with anything he can get to (which is basically everything!) and move around when he wants to switch. He and Kennedi at daycare is crawlinv now too and apparently they just follow eachother around the room all day!

Noah had his first playdate last Friday with Calli, ( my sorority sister Cassi's daughter who's 5 months older than Noah) and they had tons of fun! There were lots of squeels exchanged!

Noah is growing up so quickly and it's so exciting! He hasn't had a rough day at daycare since he learned to crawl (even on Monday) so I think it has made a huge difference.

Now that I'm able to blog from my phone, I'm sure my posts will be more frequent. Anyway, back to work!!

6 months 1 day

Noah has reached an impressive milestone-6 months!

He's come so far in these last few months, it's hard to believe! He's now sitting all by himself, eating all kinds of foods, rolling around, almost crawling, and babbling and laughing all the time!

He has his 6 month checkup tomorrow so I'll know his exact current measurements then, but last Wednesday when I took him to the doctor, he was 15lbs 12 ounces I believe.

He's doing a lot better and is no longer wheezy at all. He's still a little rattly sometimes, but only after he's slept a while or has a big melt down. He's well on his way to recovery!

Will update again soon!

5 months 4 weeks

Working full time has been a huge adjustment that's taken me some time to get used to. I've fallen behind on nearly everything, from laundry and dishes to KAC and Lupus Foundation tasks. I've finally got it together though, and I should be able to keep up with things now.

Noah and I are home today because after a night of hardly any sleep and a wheezy, coughing baby, I decided to take Noah to the doctor this morning. They diagnosed him with RSV and an ear infection and did 3 breathing treatments at the doctor which helped his breathing a lot. He'll be on antibiotics and having breathing treatments about every six hours.

Noah has been close to crawling for about 2 weeks now and is able to push himself around a room pretty well.

Noah had a big first Easter weekend this weekend and learned to sit and laughed out loud for the very first time. Saturday morning before work, I was talking to my dad on the phone and told him Noah was still trying to crawl but that he wasn't sitting yet. After work, I went over to their house and while I was waiting for them to get home, I decided to play with Noah outside. I put a towel on the ground with some toys and he just sat for about 20 minutes! He's been sitting pretty well all week and I'm just so proud of him!

My dad had Noah on his lap bouncing his knee singing "the horsey song" which goes, "ride a little horsey, ride a little horsey, up and down to town. Watch out Noah and don't fall..down!" and on down, you dip the baby. Noah has always loved doing this with my dad but we noticed this time, that Noah anticipates the dip. After getting pretty excited about horsey, my dad was putting his feet on the floor and letting him jump and Noah was just having so much fun that he just laughed out loud. It was adorable!

The maintenance people are here to try to fix our air conditioning so I'm going to go. Noah is almost 6 months old!
