Noah LOVES green beans. I’m talking LOOOOVES them, almost as much as he loves me. He even opens his mouth for them! I can’t shove it in fast enough.
But since we’ve started the green beans, he has decided that he doesn’t particularly care for rice cereal anymore! Hmmm….
Happy four month birthday Noah! Pictures and a post to come soon!
So last Wednesday after we got the go-ahead from Noah’s pediatrician, we fed him rice cereal for supper.
At first he just ate it like he had done it a million times before!
Then he thought I must have poisoned him.
Then he liked it again.
He has been doing fabulously with it ever since. He eats 2 tbsp of rice cereal mixed with about an ounce of formula for breakfast and dinner. And sometimes he finishes the 3.5 ounces left in the bottle we used!
Friday, he took TWO two hour naps during the day AND slept allllll night. It was a glorious day. We messed up his new sleep schedule by staying at a friend’s house until midnight Saturday night….but we are hoping for better luck tonight!
I see now why people want to give it to their babies early. The stuff is MAGICAL!! (Though I’m glad we waited.)
This coming week….a vegetable! Suggestions? I’ve heard to do a green veggie first, I’ve heard an orange veggie, I’ve heard SCREW veggies and try applesauce and fruit! What did yall do first after rice cereal?
We just go back from the doctor. Noah did pretty well getting his four shots and oral vaccine. He weighed 16 lb 11 oz (95% hubba hubba!) and was 25 1/2 inches long (75%).
“Seriously? I have to get shots??”
We are starting solid foods tonight! Rice cereal! All three of us (me, Brad and Noah) are SO excited about starting solids!! We will be sure to take plenty of pictures for your viewing pleasure!!
“Please no more shots!”
His doctor said he was perfect (duh!) and a ‘big boy’ (DUH!). He has a little eczema and still has a little cradle cap but no worries!
Hopefully Noah will start sleeping through the night again!
We took Noah on his very first vacation this past Memorial Day weekend to Gulf Shores! We had so much fun! Unfortunately for everyone (including our two good friends that joined us for the trip, Brian and Jenn) Noah’s teething kicked into high gear. We have been giving him Baby Orajel, teething tablets and even Infant Tylenol (off brand of course). He is so irritable and screechy…poor baby!
Ok-picture time! Gulf Shores is about a five hour drive from where we live. We listened to Noah cry for about an hour then decided to pull over and play for a while instead. Luckily after we played, he fell asleep and slept most of the way there.
Friday night, we introduced Noah to LuLu’s! He loved it!
Then we went to Dip-N-Dots…
And Sea-N-Suds…
He didn’t last very long there!
One morning we woke up, brushed Noah’s hair and it actually laid down! All by itself! But it only lasted for a morning!
Noah also tried reallllllllly hard to roll over. He made some progress but never rolled over all the way.
And THEN we got ready for the beach!
Getting ready…
Almost there…
Cheese!!!
Such a ham! I don’t know where he gets that from…
Toes in the sand!
Dipping his toes in the water!
Family picture!
If you are still reading this, bless your heart! We had a blast, but we are so glad to be home and back into our normal routine.
I bet I gained five pounds while we were there yall. The diet is back on tomorrow with FULL FORCE!!
Happy Memorial Day!
Two years ago today, I married my best friend.
One year ago today, the most beautiful baby in the WORLD started growing in my belly.
I love this day!
We have had a wonderful weekend! It was chocked full of cartoon watching…
Lounging around the house…
And geocaching!
Brad, Noah and I went searching for a particular cache Saturday afternoon. The cache was located in a park, close to a bench that was surrounded by landscape rocks. As I was searching, I saw a bird by the bench that was about 5 feet away from me-pretty close for a bird. It was squawking like crazy and puffing itself up. As I walked closer to the bird to figure out why it was so mad, it didn’t move. It just kept squawking louder and puffing bigger. I circled it, jumped at it, said BOO!!!!, but it would.not.move!! I got about a foot from it before Brad told me to leave it alone. And then I figured out what it was doing.
Look closely and you will see four eggs under the bird. It was a Momma bird protecting her babies! Then I felt like CRAP for scaring her. She is a brave little bird and stood her ground. I told Brad that I wanted to come back in a few weeks to see the babies!
Anywho, tomorrow is Brad and I’s two year anniversary! We are celebrating by going to eat at my all-time FAVORITE restaurant…The Bright Star!! Mmmmmmm….. And as an extra-special anniversary present, Brad’s mom is keeping Noah ALL NIGHT LONG!! I’m having mixed emotions. We will see if I can make it all night!
Yesterday my nephew graduated Kindergarten! Noah and I attended the ceremony…he pooped, had LOUD hiccups, then fell asleep. Fun times.
My brother-in-law, Noah, my Mom and April
The graduating class…well half of them…
Peyton’s class…
They showed a slideshow of pictures from throughout the year. They turned the lights off and played music during the slideshow…Noah didn’t last long!
Peyton and Big Mama…
Congratulations Peyton! We love you!!!
