Working at it...

You can do it! Get that moon!

Where we are at 6+ weeks

I can make Noah smile on command, but not really coo. We are working on it.



Also, I am quite confident that after posting this video to the internet no one will ever take me seriously again. Mom, I hope you appreciate it. :)

(Also this video is from the other day, it just took me a while to figure out how to post it)

Babywearing (2)

This is the carrier I have started using when going shopping (Noah has been to Home Depot in it three times already!). It is reasonably cute from this angle, which other people get to see.


But from my point of view, he is almost unbearably cute.


In other news, Noah weighed in at 12 lbs, 15 oz today. Huge. The kid is HUGE!

Naps are for wimps

Noah always cries when we put him in the carseat, and then falls asleep in the stroller when we go for a walk (you may have noticed the abundance of "baby sleeping in stroller" pictures). That is, until today, when he stayed awake (and not fussy!) for our entire walk. I was shocked - we walked for at least 45 minutes (including a 1-mile jog, yes I am practically a fitness god). The kid has never before withstood 45 minutes of bouncing. But outside is interesting - there is so much to see!

Then we came inside and he further amazed me by not fussing due to being in the seat and instead cooing at his bees.

Gym Time

Noah loves his new play gym, where there are toys dangling over him just within reach.


He bats and grabs at the toys, and occasionally coos at them (or to himself - it's hard to tell). I was impressed - before setting him loose on the mat I didn't realize he could manipulate things so deliberately. It is so neat to see him learn how to do new things each day!

Relaxng on Sunday

Baby news

Noah has started to purposefully talk (or rather, coo). It is very adorable. Especially when he gets all excited (waving arms and legs and all) but only gets out a tiny little "goo."


Noah also requires constant bouncing, which is very tiring. We may have found a solution:


And finally, Noah had the world's most impressive baby cowlick this morning, which I present here for internet posterity.
