Better baby

Sorry there hasn't been an update since announcing Noah was sick. He is feeling much better now. The fever is gone and now he is just a little extra tired and ear pully. Grammy has been here to help and to watch him during the day, which has just been awesome.

Also awesome, a baby who, after a little blip at 4:30 stayed happy in his crib until 6:38!!!!




(that is exciting becauae it is a good hour later than usual) Even while under the weather he is clearly the best baby ever.

6 months old!

Happy 1/2 year birthday to Noah! For his birthday, he got a fever of 102.4.

Poor kid. He has another ear infection and is just generally under the weather. We're on to our third course of antibiotics. Sigh.

Lucky us, he is still a generally happy baby even when he is sick.

Hey - are we going to have my 6 month old photo shoot even though I have a fever? Are the bags under my eyes too obvious?

Good - I have been practicing my close-up for weeks.

Also, my fingers are delicious.

mmmmmmmm fingers

And one picture with mommy for the road.

Check Up Day

Today we took Noah to the doctor for his well visit today. His stats are as follows:
19 lbs 2.9 oz (80th percentile), 27 3/4 inches long (90th percentile), 17.13 in head circumference (44th percentile). Also, ear infection #3 in 6 weeks. Poor kid. At least with the ear infection he didn't have to get his shots.

Other than the continuing ear issues he was declared healthy and perfect. Also he can now hold two blocks at the same time!

Sisters

What, you say? No picture of Noah?



Just a reminder, we do still have cats, who I found cuddling in the window trying to avoid cryfest 2009 (aka noah's bedtime)

Busy evening

We had a big night last night. Noah got to ride in the stroller facing forward for the first time. He seemed to enjoy it.




We walked to the park to swing on the swings.


What a big kid activity, huh! Walking to the park to play on the swings!

Noah got to eat dinner with no bib, which was somehow messier than all previous dinners.










Clearly a bath was in order. I took the opportunity to trim his hair. No more mullet baby.




(this is an after picture. Go back and look at the pool pictures if you need the before image. Also, I only trimmed the back, leaving the crazy but adorable curls on top). How did I get the baby to sit still long enough to trim his hair? I used the time honored duck technique.

Pool Party

It actually feels like summer now, so we invested in an infant pool. Noah approves.


He liked being on his tummy, because the smooth bottom and the water allowed him to move around easily and chase his toys.


He liked sitting up, because he was able to splash around like crazy. Of course, he didn't splash nearly as much after I started recording, but here's a little snippet anyway.



Until he decided it was time to get out. Ooh! Grass!!
