Summer Time

Summer is in full swing here in KY. Even though we have had some weeks that were blazin hot, I keep reminding myself of what I feel like in January/February when it has been cold and snowy for 4 months straight, it makes me thankful for the heat! We are blessed to have a great pool at our apt complex and use it often. Especially when Ben gets home from a long hot day working landscaping.

The little man went to the Dr today and is doing wonderfully. Here are the stats, just because they are fresh in my mind:

Weight: 16 lbs 10 oz
length: 26 1/2 inches long

So in baby land, he is in the 75th percentile for weight and in the 95th percentile for his height....hum tall and lankey maybe?, wonder who that kids parents are?

He also got 3 shots. Dad was there today and got to help the little trooper through it. Shot #1 was not so bad, shot #2 got a sad face and some wimpers and by shot #3 it was an all out wail. But the tough guy was ok once daddy scooped him up and cuddeled him a bit.

We gave him rice cereal last night for the first time which was hilarious. His facial expressions were a mix of confusion and disgust. We got it on video so I'll post that soon. I was actually really really sad to give him cereal. I have loved breastfeeding the little guy so far. I always thought moms were weird for saying this, but I think I might cry when he is all done and completely on solid food...


Little Man and Dad on July 4th


Our friends David and Anna- they are expecting at the end of Dec. The 5 of us walked down to a little street fair they had for 4th of July in our neighborhood. It rained the whole time...but was still pretty warm


David held Noah almost the whole time, getting a little practice in


We went to Hubers last weekend and this was a baby cow that Ben loved to let suck on his finger.


By the end of the day these two are pooped. So sweet


We have taken Noah in the pool a few times. He really doesn't seem to mind. Sometimes it is a little too cold for him, but most of the time he just sits in his floaty and kicks his feet.


He is happy in the pool that is if Dad doesn't dunk him....I think this picture was right after Ben dunked him....(Please note Ben's awesome farmers tan)


And the wail


And happy again


Noah LOVES his thumb, He is constantly sucking on either his fist or his thumb, its pretty cute even though I'm dreading this "bad" habit when he is older.


All around, he is a really happy baby. He is always smiling and laughing.
