Today was Noah's 2 month well baby check up. He is doing great. He is up to 14 pounds 13.2 ounces (the 85 percentile--you can't say I'm not feeding him!) and 24" (also the 85 percentile). Dr. Rohatgi opted to keep Noah on the Zantac (his reflux med) for now since he's been so comfortable. Noah had completely stopped spitting up for a few weeks, but has started again the past week, and Dr. R. is concerned that uncomfortableness (I made that word up) will follow. So he upped his dose a tad, and we'll keep it going until the next visit. Noah got 4 vaccines, but only two shots. He didn't even hardly react to the first, but wailed so hard after the second (we saw his first real tear!), and was asleep by the time we got to the car! He always sleeps so well after his shots--so far I've made a batch of sourdough bread, some peanut butter oatmeal coconut cookies, and have steaks marinating for dinner tonight (we love that grill!). We also completed the Ages and Stages Questionnaire and so far Noah is right on track for development with his communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social skills. We just know he smiles and "talks" all the time! We're waiting to hear that first real laugh. :)
I left Noah with Daniel for the first time last week. Well, I had left him one other time for about an hour. But this time, Daniel was in charge of a feeding, bathtime, storytime and prayers, and going to bed. He did awesome! Noah slept 7 hours the night Daniel put him down! (Maybe he should do it all the time??) :) We're leaving Noah for the first time tomorrow night with the Boehmer's for a couple of hours while we go to a dinner at church. Then Saturday, Noah is going to stay with Uncle Chris and Aunt Jodi while we go shopping in Springfield (and possibly to lunch at Lambert's!) with Ryan and Danielle. That'll be a big test for me--leaving him for that long and going that far (only 45 minutes!) away. Noah will do great--it's me I'm worried about. :)
It's almost become the norm to get peed on during bathtime. Four times in the past week, we had the pleasure! We're getting used to being prepared at all times!
We're praying for Aunt Denise today (she's having surgery). In her honor, we sterilized pacifiers. (She and I have a joke going about cleaning Noah's pacifiers...she'll appreciate this gesture). :)

| It's been getting a little chilly on our morning walks--we're thankful for this cute jacket from Aunt Sally! |

| Sometimes you just need snuggle time with Mom... |
 |
| Noah gets a little fussier during the evenings...when that happens he loves to lay in this position and I swing my legs from side to side--I'm definitely getting a workout! |

| Dad loves this onesie with a matching hat. Too bad we put it on on a cloudy/rainy day! |
