Noah's first trip home

Last Friday Michael, Noah and I flew to Green Bay and spent a few days visiting family and friends. Both boys were perfect travelers! Noah slept most of the time and Michael enjoyed our lay-overs meeting new friends. He told everyone about how he has family in Green Bay and that we live in Texas. When we arrived on Friday Amy, Anna, Ava, Grandma Dawn and Grandpa Jim were at the airport to greet us. We spent Friday at Mom and Dad's house catching up. On Saturday we went to Aunt Amy's house to see the rest of the fam and friends and on Sunday we went to visit Grandma Iris at her new apartment and Grandpa Louie who is recovering from an illness at a nursing home. It was hard to leave on Monday, but thankfully we'll get to go back in August.

Noah had his 2 month well-baby check on Tuesday. He is 10lbs, 14oz and 21.75 inches long. He's still little (25% for weight and 10% for height) but he's growing well considering that he was in the 5th percentile at birth.

We registered Michael for kindergarten last week. He's pretty excited about it and it seems like a nice school. The teachers were very nice, too. It will be hard to beat the Montessori Schoolhouse, though. We're so happy that Michael was able to spend 2 years there. I can't say enough good things about it!

Michael, Noah and I are getting excited for our upcoming trip to Green Bay! It will be an interesting experience traveling alone with the boys, but it's worth it. I can't wait to show both of them off to everyone!

Happy 8-week Birthday to Noah!

7 weeks old

Just in case you're wondering, Michael is waving to cars while stading on the street post in our yard. He's definitely not the shy one in the family.

6 weeks old

Noah will be five weeks tomorrow. He weighs nearly 9lbs already and his preemie clothes are now too small for him. Noah is doing pretty well considering he's had a cold for a couple of weeks now and is developing an ear infection. We went to the pediatrician yesterday and got antibiotics for the infection so hopefully he'll be better soon.

Noah's been smiling in his sleep for a couple of weeks but yesterday he started to smile when awake. He is absolutely adorable!

3 weeks old

Today Noah is 3 weeks old. He's definitely getting bigger - newborn diapers are starting to get snug. Noah is still a very happy baby and is sleeping great.
