Some time with dad

We had a great weekend. The weather was great and dad finally had a Saturday off to spend with us. Just in time too, since we'll be leaving for Idaho in a a few days and staying a whole week. It will be Noah's first time flying, the longest time Noah and dad have been apart, even the longest time mom and dad have had apart. We are looking forward to meeting grandma Elena and auntie Karina again, we haven't seen them since Noah was just about two weeks old.


Dad's hat

Well not much to say as far as updates. Noah has been slowly following the curve below the 5th percentile for height and weight. He is as happy as can be and is otherwise developing nicely.

We're big talkers (still non coherent), our favorite was nana (which I mistakenly took for mama and he used to his advantage to get my attention at all times of the day and night). Since then he has moved on to more of a babble of different sound combination or sometimes just plain squealing.

We've been doing some sleep training to get Noah to feel more comfortable with putting himself to sleep and staying asleep during the night and at nap time. So far so good, but it is cutting into his time with dad as we've moved bedtime strictly to 7:00 and dad comes home at 6:45. At the moment lots of sleep is most beneficial for Noah as he's getting mobile, so sacrifices are well worth it (still, dad needs some well deserved time off in our opinion). We try to keep dad with us all day by playing with his stuff...

Happy Mother's Day

Sit, sit, sitting

Trying our first teething biscuits

We love auntie Beth and little Izabella

My baby 's cuter than your baby

Wwwwhere's the baby?... There heeeee is!

Noah's new nickname is Mr. Rolly Polly. He is more than capable of making his way around any room by simply rolling (he's got some speed too).

This is a prime example of nothing standing in his way, including coffee tables...


80's in April

Another 85 degree weather day... We took Noah to experience the fun of digging your toes in the sand. He had a blast, but was very disappointed that mom and dad wouldn't let him taste the funny crumbly stuff that was everywhere.
