10 weeks old. :)

Dear Noel,
Today you are 10 weeks old! It is incredible how fast time has gone by since you've been born. I can't believe that 20 weeks ago I was having a pretty crazy last 10 weeks waiting for you. Preterm labor, constant braxton hicks, I broke my elbow, fell downstairs and had to go to the hospital for you to be monitored, and lots of other false labors. But the day before your due date you came to see us. :) 39weeks and 6days pregnant. Healthy as can be. Perfect in every way. <3

You've been sitting up really well with help. Sitting on laps happily. And you even attempt to pull yourself up sitting while in your car seat or any recline position. You LOVE to be held standing up, so strong lol ! You still talk away to us too, I love it - I could listen to you babble all the time. You've even started laughing more now - I can not wait til I can get you giggling away. For now it's little laughs and then you get the hiccups - just like your big sister does!! So much alike already. :) <3

You're getting so much more active! You now sometimes kick your feet around while nursing and stick them up in the air lol, too cute. And you chew away on your fist or anything you can shove in your mouth. You're not teething yet but soon. :) Also, your swing sometimes amuses you, you love to look up at the mobile with this face of facination, loooooveee it !





You're sleeping better at night. Most of the time you only get up around 2/3am then you wake up at 5/6am which is a pretty good schedule. You usually stay up til 7/8am and then nap again after that. Sometimes though, you fight sleep and you either want to comfort nurse to sleep, be worn to sleep, or be snuggled up close to my chest. It can get exhausting but I don't mind. :)






Your big sister Lailah has been spending a lot more time holding you and talking to you this week. A couple days ago she played a little game with you - I caught it on video and it was just so precious. <3 I love that she loves you so much! I really hope you both can have a great friendship together in the future and will be there for one another.

You've been so super alert. You really pay attention to us now. You seem to just love the sound of mommys voice. When I talk you just smile up at me like it's your favorite sound in the world. Daddy and I both talk to you and play with you and you can easily look back and forth between us both now. You seem to try to communicate with us and it's so much fun. We like to pretend we know what you're saying LOL. You've even been staying with daddy longer lately, spending time with him. :) I love watching my two guys together. The love he has for you makes me love him even more!!
