7 months 1 week

Can you tell I'm a busy lady? So much for my weekly post!

Noah is an incredible baby. No more than one week after he started crawling, he started pulling up on things. Now, he pulls up, climbs, and walks himself along our couch. Yesterday, he basically stood up alone just barely leaning on rudys leg.

The daycare had to get a new changing table because he and Kennedi wouldn't stop climbing the one they had and mrs. Margie was afraid they would get hurt.

He may also be the most inquisitive 7 month old I've ever seen. He's fascinated by things other babies his age don't seem to notice. He loves a little spot of sunshine that reflects on the floor in hus classroom at school and will spend half an hour looking at it and trying to catch it. He spent probably 25 minutes pulling on a drawer handle at my parents house. He saw other people pull it to get the drawer open so he pulled on it with all if his weight, standing up and rocking back in forth trying to get the handle off. He was smart enough to even look inside the drawer to see what was holding it there. I was so impressed!

Yesterday, noahs first tooth started cutting through. He's been struggling with the pain a little. He's slept a lot and fussed a bit more. But who can blame him? i'd be pretty grumpy if something were pushing through my gums too!

Noah went with Rudy and mia to calli's birthday party last weekend and I think they had a lot of fun. Then we went to KAC's Ice cream social and played on th playground. It was a really fun day!

Probably by the next time I update Noah will be running around with teeth!

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!

5 Months 1 Week

I have an adorable, but very sleepy baby on my lap who's swinging his pacifier around like a gladiator to stay awake. He's just finished playing on the floor, grabbing his foot (he's recently discovered he has them), talking, laughing, and rolling around, so he's worn out!

He's been doing really well at daycare and I think he's prepping to have another growth spurt because he's been eating like a little pig! He's been eating his cereal, a veggie, AND a 6 oz bottle for lunch and usually 2 veggies and some formula for dinner too, as well as bottles in between. He's also getting really good at sitting up. He still needs some help, but not much and he's constantly pulling himself up by himself. Noah will be starting fruits sometime this week since he's proven himself not allergic to any of the vegetables and well acquainted with all of them.

I've really been enjoying working...well not the work itself, but being able to get out and make some money has been really nice. Plus, the work isn't too bad and I've found myself not minding calling people all the time at all.

Rudy is still working hard for J Gumbo's, but is finding himself there from open to close basically everyday because they're short staffed...we're hoping they can get some people hired and trained ASAP so he can spend more time with me and Noah!

Our first wedding anniversary is this weekend which is as unbelievable as it is exciting! We're celebrating by going to dinner at RIVUE, which is a newer restaurant in The Galt house which revolves and is basically all windows. It's supposed to be pretty cool, so I'm looking forward to that. We may also go to a movie since we don't really get to do that much anymore since Noah's been around.

I think it's about time Noah gets a nap since he keeps banging his head against mine because he's getting too tired to hold it up (not that he'd ever admit it).

5 months old!

Today is a big day for Noah, he's 5 months old today!

Things have been pretty eventful for us lately; I finally got a job at Britton Distributing as a receptionist/appointment setter. They sell Kirby vacuum and I spend most of my day calling people trying to make appointments for them to come clean a room of carpet and tell them about the product. It's no dream job but its great to finally be working, plus it's a job I can put on my resume to get better receptionist jobs in the future.

Noah has been doing really well with daycare and is really enjoying spending time playing and talking to all the other kids. He really likes his teacher too.

He's also really been enjoying trying new foods. He's not a big fan of green beans, but he loves peas, squash, and carrots and we're going to try sweet potatoes tomorrow, which I'm sure he'll love!

We went to the zoo Sunday and it was pretty fun, although Noah didn't really pay much attention to the animals, he just watched the people watching the animals. The coolest thing happened at the gorilla exhibit though, one of came right up to the glass, stood up on his two back feet and stopped right in front of Noah and put his hand on the glass. I was able to put my hands over his and compare our hands while he just stared at Noah sitting in his stroller. Noah was chewing his fingers at the time and after the gorilla looked at Noah for a little while he put his fingers in his mouth too. It was amazing!
