Still Cute

Cute sleeping, cute awake and looking around.

Moo

Scene: Babies Backwards R Us, just after new years.

Rachel (9 months pregnant, slightly hormonal): OH MY GOD COW OUTFIT WE MUST BUY THE COW OUTFIT

Chad (slightly concerned): um... ok

Look at this outfit. I ask you, was I wrong?


Noah doesn't necessarily agree I guess.


Luckily we have bit of time where we get to decide what he wears, even if he finds it ridiculous.

Hairdo

Noah says: please no comments about my baby mullet.

Seriously

The kid just gets cuter every day. Bias be damned. Look at him!


Also I believe he has a very developed sense of humor for an 11-day old, and may be tired of mommy and daddy shoving the camera in his face all the time.

Hope and Change

We toasted the new president with sparkling cider and milk breath.


It was a powerful thing to watch the inauguration with Noah. In addition to being part of the generation inheriting the country, all of a sudden we're responsible for taking good enough care of it to pass it on to him. I feel very optimistic and inspired to get down to work.


Noah, meanwhile, is willing to do his part by looking around the house in amazement.

Sleepy

Being a baby is hard work!

Brit Milah

Today we celebrated Noah's Bris, with lots of family and lots of food.

Also, a giant fish plate.


It was just beautiful, and Noah was a real trooper. It was great for everyone to get a chance to meet the baby (and of course go on about how perfect he is). Christopher was especially interested, since he was old enough to actually hold the baby.


Little does Noah know that this is the kid who will be bossing him around as soon as he can take direction. :)

Noah also got to meet all of his grandmothers last night


They were reasonably well behaved, taking turns with the baby. I know it was difficult but we appreciate their keeping their setting a good example with sharing.
