Noah's busy weekend

Noah loves his baths but hates getting out of them.

Our hospital family through Noah a shower last Sunday. We are so blessed to have people to love on Noah. It was at Anne's house however everyone chipped in. Noah was well behaved except for peeing on Barbara.

Here's Mary Ellen with Noah!

You can see how long Noah is getting. We also are looking more relaxed but still tired.

Grandpa and Grandma Ficht are back for a visit. They have been gracious to give mommy a few much needed naps.

Noah is rolling over now from his belly to his front. He keeping us more and more on our toes.

Not quite ready!!

Look at me!! I am almost sitting up. Except for my head. Could someone please tell my mom and dad I am not quite ready for this.
Noah is growing each day and looks more and more like his daddy. These pictures were taken last night.

Don't his feet look huge. We think he is going to be tall.

We still try to get sleep when ever we can. Notice who is sleeping and who is wide awake. It seems that Noah thinks the world works on a 48 hour day, every other day he sleeps 4 hour stretches at night. I just need to learn to get on his schedule.

Through our early weeks with Noah both Tyler and I appreciate our parents so much more.

One Month Today

Noah is one month today. This weekend he slept in his crib all night for the first time. Tyler and I slept the best since the night before he was born. Though all his little noises are so cute, they were keeping us up. He woke at 1am and 4am the first night, every other hour the second, and then back to 1 am and 4 am.

He comes into our room for snuggle time in the morning.

Look at that pot belly.

He is much more alert and tracking things with his eyes. He sleeps when you don't wanted him to and he is awake when you don't want him to be. Well he is on a schedule of his own we just try to make schedule suggestions I guess.

Noah's Life

Noah working with Daddy, dictating charts.

Still surprised at this "crazy world."

Tyler feeding Noah his first bottle. Maybe Tyler can do some midnight feedings now. Just kidding Tyler.

Here is Noah on 10/15

Naked baby with daddy, getting some vitamin D and trying to get some good pictures for an announcement. We decided to wait until he is a few months older.

3 weeks already

We can't believe that Noah turned 3 weeks last Saturday. On Friday he weighed in at exactly 8lbs. He is starting to smile when he is eating. He sleeps for four hours in the first stretch of the night (so I get some sleep). Tyler still sleeps on the couch on weeknights so he can function for work.

Our hike- Noah is strapped to Tyler

Noah took his first journey to Modesto this weekend, which was quite an adventure; feeding in the car, public restroom diaper changes, rain. We also went hiking and to the foothill pregnancy center banquet. Tyler and I decided that we did a little to much and Noah surely let us know with his loud crying.

2 weeks old

It's amazing that Noah was in my belly. This picture was taken 3 days before we gave birth. I have never felt better to not be pregnant. Some people say that they felt the best they ever felt being pregnant, they must not have remembered the aches and pains, and fortunate enough to not have nausea. We feel so blessed to have Noah, despite sleepless nights.
Last weekend the Rankin's and the Sharmen's were up in Jamestown. Noah joined us all for lunch at Diamondback. He enjoyed being loved on by Glenda and Diane, even though he slept through the whole thing. He still mostly sleeps, poops, cry's, and occasionally stares at our faces. Nights are getting better, he sleeps for one four hour stretch in the beginning of the night.

As of Monday he weighs 7lb 9oz and 21 1/2 inches. We are going for a weight check today. Hopefully he has gained some weight.
