19 weeks. 4 months old!

Dear Noel,
You are 19 weeks old tomorrow! Sorry I haven't updated during the past couple weeks, I've been pretty busy with some things. But don't worry ! I have pictures and an update!
So a couple weeks ago you learned how to roll! You now roll over at every chance you get and you always try to roll over when we're trying to change you, never fails. I also have been trying to teach you to Rawr and I'm pretty sure you're getting the hang of it! Hahaha.

You love to chew on your chew toy. It is your favorite toy to have. You chew on almost anything you can get your hands on!

You've become really handsy - you have excellent hand eye coordination already. You can grab nearly anything in the blink of an eye. Yesterday you came to the breakfast restaurant with your dad, sissy, step uncle?, and me and for one second I took my eyes off of you (while holding you on my lap) so that I could take your hat out of your carseat to put you in it. Well, you happened to grab my plate right off the table and spill my eggs all over you. You're quick!

Easter came and went. You got a basket and then we went to the zoo. The night before I crocheted you the cutest bunny hat! It's just adorable!

I still wear you and you love it. We recently got this new carrier. It's called a Mai Tai. It's pretty comfy. You seem to really like it, especially because you like to chew on the arm straps. It's adorable :)




We're still on our nursing journey ! I can't believe how far we've made it! We're at 4.5 months and no signs of stopping yet! I've also recently pumped and saved 60 oz of extra breastmilk to donate to someone that needs it! I find it so incredibly crazy that I not only nourished you within my body for 9 months but I've also continued nourishing outside, still using my body, for 4.5 months!



You've also been trying to sit up - you can hold yourself up for a few seconds - maybe 30 but then your arms get tired and you faceplant haha. But it's adorable. <3
















Oh and just because this is one of the cutest things ever : Your sissy reading to you! :)

16 weeks

Dear Noel,
You are now 16 weeks old!! Your big sister wore you for the first time this week! You both loved it, you actually knocked right out lol!

This week we had a family zoo trip, it was great! You, daddy, sister, and I. We really enjoyed it.

We also stopped and got Chinese and this Chinese lady that I've known since your sissys pregnancy got to see you, she thought you were super cute. :)

You've started knowing when I'm around and calling for me lol. If Mammee has you you'll sit quietly and easily in the kiddy chair but the moment you see me you start calling for me as if to say, "Mommy, come pick me up!!" :) I don't mind. It's adorable.
Not much else this week. But that's okay. You're growing and now experiencing the world, next milestones are all big milestones and they won't be happening every week but more like monthly. :)

15 weeks old! And April Fools day :p

Dear Noel,
You've reached 15 weeks old. :) 3.5 months! Such a big boy! At your appt last Weds for a diaper rash you were weighed in at 14lbs 10oz with clothes on!! Wowweee ! Big boy ! :) You're my little chubster :D. You are talking up a storm now !! It is crazy how much you talk to us now lol, always something to say! It's adorable! <3 You laugh so hard now, you're super ticklish, and your smiles can make anyone melt. :) Or I'm just a mommy obsessed with her babies haha.


You've been trying to pull yourself to sitting up and want to just sit up all on your own lol, even though you don't have the balance for it yet. But I love that you try!

You still love the shower. At night sometimes you will cry and cry and daddy and I try everything - we know you're just tired and fighting sleep but we just can't seem to get you to sleep. You won't even comfort nurse to sleep. :( So, we grab the water sling and as soon as you hear the water running you get quiet. It's like you KNOW that we're bringing you in the shower in the sling lol. After we bring you in you knock out cold in under 3 minutes LOL. It reallllyyyy soothes you! Glad we know what does. :)

Recently you've taken a liking to anything that lights up - phones, computers, tv's.... not just the light on the ceiling anymore. And you show interest in these things by grabbing for them. You will reach and grab and try to keep haha. Especially cell phones. You want them! Sissy showed you that you can watch shows on Mamee's cell phone and she's showed you a lot of shows. But none have caught your attention like Barney has. You really seem to enjoy Barney lol. You just stare at it in amazement lol. It's too cute!


Ohhh, we got a new wrap this week! It's Natibaby Dino's. I love it but not as much as Jack's Treasure yet. It is softer and more floppyish but I just love Jack, I don't know why. We went to the zoo this week in Dino's - you were even awake for most of the zoo, although you just looked around and didn't really know what was going on. :) We are going to have so many zoo trips throughout your life because I absolutely love the zoo! <3 So does Sissy, so you're stuck with us. :D

Today daddy wore you as I was pulling April Fools day jokes on your Mammee with sissy ! LOL He did a great job wrapping you in Jack and you were out in minutes.











Oh yeah! One last thing. You seem ready to go!! LOL - This week you were laying on your belly like this, in this photo and you were kicking your legs and trying to go. Mammee was behind you and you were pushing your feet off of her legs trying to inch closer to me lol. My smart little man! <3
