Bathing Cutie...

Don't Forget...

I never want to forgot how he holds on to my shirt so tight everytime I hold him like this...no matter if I am feeding him, rocking him, or just holding him. I love it!

Derek's Officer Commissioning

I forgot to blog this because the pictures were on a different camera! Anyways, last Saturday, we made our first little roadtrip with Noah to see his Uncle Derek's officer commissioning and pinning! The ceremony was very nice and we are just so proud of him!

Sleeping Cutie...

I love this picture of my sweet little boy in his crib! I haven't really had him in his crib at all yet. In fact, I haven't even taken the bumper pads off yet, but I laid him down today while he was awake to see what he would do...and here is the result! So sweet! The poor little thing has had such terrible gas, so to see him actually put himself to sleep so peacefully was wonderful! He went to the doctor on Monday and his gas is so bad that the doctor said it sounded like his intestines were in a fight! You can feel and hear his poor little tummy just knotting up all the time. He put him on a prescription gas medicine and we are trying some other things to help, so hopefully it gets better soon.

Noah's Baptism Party!

Here are some pictures of his party after his baptism! It was so fun planning my son's first party! I felt like such a mom! :)

Opening presents with Mom & Dad!

Our sweet little boy!

How cute is this?

Noah's Baptism 8-23-09

Our sweet baby boy was baptized on Sunday. He cried through most of it, but was still as cute as can be! He is a very lucky boy and has wonderful Godparents, Aunt Andrea & Uncle Derek. His MawMaw made his baptism outfit, which was adorable! Thanks to everyone who came and shared this special day with us!

1 Week Photo Shoot

Here are a few pictures from Noah's 1 week photo shoot! I cannot believe I will be doing his 1 month photo shoot NEXT week! He seriously is growing up too fast! I took him to the doctor for his gas problem on Monday and he already weighs 11 lbs 5 oz at 3 weeks old!

The many looks of Noah...

This is the first picture that I feel like actually looks kind of like Noah! It seems like over half the pictures that I take of him, he is on my lap, so his face looks huge or he is laying down and he looks like he has a crazy double chin or something! Haha! But here he is being his strong little self, holding his head up while Daddy holds him and it actually looks like him! Either way, he is such a cutie...

Our Happy Little Boy!

Here are some pictures of our lil stinker smiling and laughing in his sleep! It cracks me up to hear him laugh!!! It is so sweet and cute!

And then here are a few pictures of him sitting contently like a good little boy before bath time! Again, he is so stinkin cute! I can't get enough of him!

1 Week Check-up!

Noah had his 1 week check-up on Monday with Dr. Bichir. He is a perfectly healthy boy! He has actually gained back all his birth weight and then some, weighing in at 9 lbs 6.5 oz! He was 9 lbs 5 oz at birth and got down to 8 lbs 11 oz when we left the hospital on Thursday. I knew he was definitely eating but I can't believe he surpassed his original weight! He is definitely going to be a big guy like his daddy! He measured at 21 and 1/8 in long and his head at 14 and 1/2. Dr. Bichir went on about how he has the most perfectly shaped head and is just amazed at how well he already holds his head up and is so strong!!! We definitely think that my due date was a bit off and that he was probably a few weeks later than we think. Anyways, he had such a good appointment that he doesn't have to go back until his 1 month appointment on September 3rd!

Since being home...

Here are a few fun pics since being home with our new little guy...
