Big Boy Noah

4 month check up

Noah went to the pediatrician on Wed for his 4 month check up. Here's his stats:

Weight: 15lbs 14 oz
Height:26 1/4"
Head circ: 16"

He is growing so fast and so big! He is meeting all his milestones. Noah is able to hold his head up and sit supported. No cereal yet per MD, but he loves to eat his mommy milk! He took his shots like a big man, no crying at all! My little tough guy! Still sleeping on his belly, but thanks to the angel monitor, it reassures mom and dad that he is safe in his crib. Sleeping all through the night, mommy has to wake him up at 5:30 to get ready to go to Ms.Joan's (his daycare). He loves his nanny and is developing great social skills with the other kids at her house. We don't have to go to the pediatrician until 6 months for his next round of shots and check up. In May we are going back home to Dunkirk to have little guy baptized. We'll keep you updated on Noah's status! Love ya!!

3 months old...

My little monkey is getting sooooo big!! 3 months already--time to go get a job! Noah is doing awesome! He is talking a lot, moving all over the place. I can't seem to keep him in one spot in his crib. Lots of smiles and laughs. He is sleeping all through the night now. How? I don't know nor do I care, he just is!! He'll go to bed around 9:30-10:00 and not get up until 7:30 on the weekends. During the week, bad mommy has to wake him up at 5:30 to get ready for the babysitters. The first week there was fantastic! He loves Ms. Joan, smiles at her. I love her too!! Noah comes home in the same clothes he went in (I swear she must put plastic wrap on him), happy, smiling and looks forward to going back. She'll wash his laundry and the bottles---all for $90/wk!! Amazing! I'll post a link with new pictures today (need daddy's help) of the little man. Enjoy!

We survived!!

Noah and I both survived me going back to work. I was very anal and had everything prepared the night before, including all the dog food and his outfit. Noah has been sleeping well, about 5-6 hours once he goes down at 10PM. He will fall right back asleep once I feed him. Poor guy looks at me like I'm crazy when I have to wake him up at 5:30 and get him ready. He will fall back asleep on his way to the babysitters. Yesterday, he slept until 9AM and didn't fuss at all!! I only worked a half a day, but smiled and laughed with his new sitter. Today was just as good. He slept for her, ate 3 bottles and didn't fuss or spit up on her! Needless to say, mommy is happy because baby is happy! She is a blessing to us!! Hopefully this trend will continue...

D-day is coming....

Today is Friday, January 15th. That means on Monday, I have to go to work! Boooo!!! I anticipate me being a blubbering mess once I drop Noah off at the babysitters, even though I know he will be fine. I organized all my frozen milk and hope to at least feed him breast milk until 4 months. We'll see how it goes once I go to work and have to pump at work.

Good news...Noah is sleeping in his crib for at least 5-6 hours in the beginning of the night, wakes up to feed, and is back down for 2-4 hours. Yay for mommy and baby! We both sleep better apart, as much as I want to believe my son will never NOT want to be next to me, it's good! I still have Duke and Jasper sleeping with me. I lose one baby in the bed and gain 2!

Can't wait to see how I organize and figure out our morning routine. I have no idea how I am going to do all this by 7AM. I'm sure I am not the first one....**UGH**!!

My future Hugh Hefner?!
