In the meantime, I think we could all use a little update.
Our little NoNo (Emily's nickname for Noah) is 2 months old. Poor little guy seems to be getting over a stomach bug that caused some slowed weight gain over the past 2 weeks and an eye infection. You'd never know it, though, as he is just a happy and content little man. His 2 month appointment was yesterday and he is weighing in at 13lb 1 oz and 25 in. Tall (94%) and lean (64%). We were hoping his weight gain would catch up a little since his stomach virus seems to be gone, but now that he has had his vax (Rotavirus, specifically), his multiple dirty diapers per day have resumed. So, it might be another few days before he really starts playing catch up.
How we take most of our naps around here
Noah has been an easy baby so far (*knocks on wood*), nursing every 2 hours or so during the day, but giving us loooong stretches of sleep at night, sitting happily in his swing/bouncy/boppy, etc, and smiling a majority of his waking time. In the past couple of weeks, we have taken a day trip and a weekend trip (he is a GREAT car rider *knocks on wood AGAIN*) to meet his two new buddies, Brendan and Owen. These are the babies of two of Kyle's very best friends and destined to be great buddies of Noah's.

I love you, Ollie the Octopus
Did I mention he's a happy baby?
Kason and Emily continue to love on their little brother, but are letting up just a little so that he is actually able to enjoy his toys now. It helps that Kason started school again last week. He loves his new teachers so far and is happy to be back with his buddies from last year. He does not, however, like to tell Mommy and Daddy about his day. Everything is a secret these days, from his friends at school to the songs they sang. A little reverse psychology, though, and he spills everything. :)
Lovin' on baby brother
More lovin' on brother
First Day of School
Grrrrrr....
Emily is still home with me and Noah and was none to happy about it on Kason's first day of school. She desperately wanted to stay and play with all the little kids and fun toys. We are planning on a January start for her if there are spots available. Otherwise, she will wait until next school year, which is fine by me. I am very much enjoying our time at home together. It is so nice to be able to get some one-on-one time with her while Noah naps and Kason is at school. She is also enjoying regular play dates with our neighbor and her best buddy (aside from Kason and Noah), Lilly. They are even able to play outside together in the mornings, because it is finally getting a little cooler. I can feel fall in the air and I can't wait to see pumpkins and scarecrows all around!
Too busy to stop for a pic
Emily sat next to Noah and said, "Cheese", insisting I go get the camera
Best Buddies (most of the time)
