Look Who's Talking.

No, I am not referring to the movie. I have a little Ranger who is talking. I took this video this morning.

In the last few days, he has really found his voice. When people talk to him, he makes noise back. When things make noise at him, he talks back. Here, he is talking to the monkey toy in his jungle gym! How Cute is he!?!

Two Months Old...

Oh my goodness. My baby boy is two months old. TWO MONTHS OLD. I will add a picture later, but for now, here are a few stats on my little Bug.

• My baby can squeeze into size one diapers... I think we will soon give up on the idea of a size one baby.
• He loves to be held where he can look over your shoulder.
• He loves being held.
• When he sleeps, he holds onto your shirt.
• Currently, he eats somewhere between 4-6 ounces.
• He wears 0-3 months clothes - but, I think we will soon outgrow those as well.

I thought I would be sad today. I am not. Instead, I am thanking God for this sweet little miracle. We have played in his jungle gym this morning. We took a long nap, and now we are cleaning house together. What a great little helper.

We have one more month at home together. That is a bittersweet thought. I will spend it (moving into the new house) LOVING ON MY BABY!

My friend Jenni came to visit Noah when he was four weeks old. She is an aspiring photographer and I must say, she is quite good. Here are some of her pictures....

...It doesn't hurt that her subject is so dang cute. Thanks Jenni for taking these pictures. I looked through the whole disk. I can't wait to hang so many of these in our new home!

Whoopsies.

Motherhood sure puts a damper on being able to regularly blog!! :) Here are pictures for July 8 and 9th!

We will have a ton of pictures from today! I am co-hosting a baby shower for one of my dear friends, Sarah! I am so so excited!

New House Update

What? A Post NOT about the baby?? You got it....just one.

I wanted to give an update on our soon-to-be new house!! Cullen and I find that we drive past the house more than once a day. (I am not too sure this is normal - but what is fun about being normal??)

It is coming along so nicely. I get more excited to move in everyday!! I picture our little Noah's room all decorated. I see our furniture and our memories hanging on the wall. Oh I am just so excited.

When we drove past yesterday, we stopped. The builder was across the street, so he came over and let us in. We walked around, smiled a ton; talked about "what we want here" and "what we see there". I left Cullen alone with the builder and walked in all the rooms.

What is so neat about this house, is every time I walk through it I find something new. This time was no different. There was a light switch in Noah's room - this light switch was next to the real light switch. I flipped it on.... guess what?? There is a light in his closet!! I know that is no real big deal, except I didn't notice it last time we were there. It is just a small touch that makes me feel like we really made a great buy!!

14 days exactly until we move in!!

Why is it SO Funny....

Maybe it is sleep deprivation?

Maybe it is childish immaturity...

Maybe it is the fact that I am home alone all day, and ANYTHING amuses me.

BUT, when Noah toots and smiles - I laugh loudly. Today, Noah was sitting in his car seat asleep. He tooted; one of those looonnnggg, drawn out, gasses. It woke him up. He smiled BIG, looked around and went right back to sleep.

I laughed. I love my job - being a mommy. It is these moments that trump the difficult moments.

July 7th Picture

My little Bug is sick today. His tummy hurts. He will be dead asleep and wake up alarmed with tears streaming down his face. It is so sad.

Here is a picture I took yesterday....thought it was too cute not to share. I was singing to him, and this was the reaction I got. (What he should learn quickly is, I don't need an audience to sing. His faces do not deter me at all!!)

July 6th Picture

Noah was in such a good mood yesterday. I laid him on his changing pad, and said "somebody needs a new diaper!!"... and this is what I got: Smiles like this one make me so happy to be a mommy!

My First 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Noah spent his 4th of July with his Nana and Papa watching fireworks. My dad sent me these pictures of Noah watching fireworks with his Nana!

Where is Noah?

I was just noticing - there are not many pictures of Baby Bug on the blog. That surprises me since I take so many.

I was looking through my phone (where I take most of my pictures) and finally transferred some of the pictures to the computer... I thought I would share.

Also, at some point in July, both sets of parents are venturing out of the Country for work or vacation. Since they cannot see much of Noah when they are traveling, I decided to post a picture of Noah everyday during July. Bedo/CoCo, PaPa/Nana, I hope you enjoy!

Getting an IV draw for his (third attempt) at a Newborn Screen Test.

Sleeping in his car seat. (He does this A LOT!)

Hello Chins!!

Week Four - He is learning to smile at Mommy and Daddy... not just because he had to pass gas!

He LOVES his middle finger.

Exhibit #2 - the Middle Finger.

This is one of my most favorite pictures of Noah. He was stretching after being fed in his car seat. He looks like a little baby bird.

Stretching out before getting his diaper changed.
