Week 12

Just shy of three months!

I would have gone back to work today...I definitely miss it--a lot--but I'm glad I don't have to leave my sweet baby boy. He is completely morphing into a daddy's boy. Daniel can get him to smile just by saying his name while I sometimes have to work and work to see his dimples. It's pretty cute to see how quickly he reacts to his daddy. They sure love each other (as clearly seen in the bathtime video!)!

It's funny how our thinking has changed. I used to think in "Facebook". What I mean is that when things would happen, I would try to think about how to word it in an interesting status for Facebook. Now when things happen, we tell each other to "put it on the blog", or "take a picture for the blog". So thanks for giving us a reason to continue updating the blog and helping us document our son's life to cement our memories.

I thought last week was going to be quiet, but we ended up finding things to do, as always. Noah and I joined a research study, so we had appointments for that. We had our first home group Bible study, which was great. God was definitely helping us out--Noah fell asleep on the way, and slept the whole time we were there! Then I had a fun date night with Emily while Daniel kept Noah for a couple hours. Daniel took Noah to run errands on Saturday while I got some deep cleaning done around the house. And then my parents came Saturday. Sunday, Daniel and I went to the Rams game while Noah stayed with Grandma and Grandpa (I'm getting good at leaving him!) but it wasn't a very good game. Today, Noah and I took a trip to Union, MO to see Megan and Sam's new house. It's really cute--I love the paint colors! :)

Showing off our Cardinal spirit!

The whole family ready for our boys to win!

Our view of the field.

Hanging out with Grandpa.

We think we've graduated from the swaddler! Good thing, since he was busting out of it pretty regularly. We've put him to bed the past 2 nights without it, and he's sleeping just like he was with it!  Don't worry, this was just a nap. We don't put him to bed with a blanket.

We like to watch the Sing-Off. Even Noah is captivated! Last night, he was "talking" through the whole show. 

Learning how to sew with my "new" sewing machine. Thanks for the help, Mom!

First project complete. Before (on the left) and after (on the right).--but both sides are completed now.
