Noah's baby blessing: 10/13/2013

Noah's blessing day was so beautiful. I am so grateful my husband was able to give him his baby blessing. What was said was so perfect and brings so much peace. Days like this make me so grateful to have the gospel. It always makes me nervous, and especially Sean, that the baby will start to cry during the blessing, making it difficult to continue and hear what is being said. But Noah was so great. He was wide awake but so content and happy, like he normally is. :) I'm so glad my mom was able to be here for it. It was hard not having more family there, but we were just so grateful at least one grandparent could be here in Missouri for it!

It's always fun when Grandma comes!

Even though we have only been in Missouri for 3 months and we're use to not seeing my parents for 3 months normally, it felt like it had been so long since we had seen family. I was so excited when my mom decided to come visit before Christmas after all. Aben is so attached to his Grammy and just couldn't wait till Grammy Taylor came to play. We had so much fun! Sean was really busy with school, with finals being the next week and all, but mom and I got to go out and do some fun things with the kids.

We got to go to Adam-Ondi-Ahman:

and play at the park:

 and even better...just play and visit at home!:

 We were so glad Grammy Taylor could come and play and especially glad she could be there for Noah's baby blessing. Thanks for coming to play grammy!

Noah: 3 months!

It's amazing how much a little person can change in one month! Noah's getting chubbier by the day and somehow he gets cuter each day too!

He now:

•  Smiles all the time. If he isn't smiling though, he has this serious worried look with his brow all furrowed. He must be thinking all the time about how crazy his family is!
• Babbles even more
• Has started to laugh. Yay! One of my favorite things!
• Rolls over! Tummy time is a new challenge now that he will only stay on his belly for about 10 seconds before rolling onto his back.
• Has a great sleeping schedule. He sleeps from 8:30 or 9 till about 5 am and then again till 8 or 9am. It's so nice to have a baby that sleeps! I pray this doesn't change!
• Is great at pooping out, especially when out playing with friends 
• Is completely out of newborn clothes, into his 3 month and almost 3-6 month clothes and wears size 2 diapers. Where did my little baby go! 
• Loves watching his brother dance, sing and play
• Loves being outside
• His eyes are getting more bright blue every day!

I am so blessed to have such beautiful boys! I love being a mom!

Noah: 2 month's old!

Noah is already two months old! I can't believe it. He is getting so big already!  While I love and miss the newborn stage, I love it when my babies start to interact more with us!

New tricks and changes:

• Starting to follow us with his eyes
• Smiles like crazy
• Starting to coo
• Is getting into a routine and going longer between feedings at night (about 4-5 hour stretch at night and every 2.5 to 3 hours in the day)
• Is getting rolls all over! He now weighs 12.5 pounds and is 23.5 inches
• Is almost out of all newborn clothes and diapers
• Enjoys bath time more

Noah is already such a sweet baby. No one can get Noah to smile like his brother Aben. I can tell they are going to be such good friends already! Oh how I love my Noah boy!
