my crib

I started going to bed in my crib in my own bedroom this week! I can sleep for 7 or so hours in my crib, then I get up to eat and mommy brings me back into the bassinett and we sleep for another hour or so. It feel so good to sleep through the night!

My mommy's cousin Lisa gave me this outfit. Isn't it great!?

giggles

I figured out how to do a 5-6 syllable giggle today! Just once, but I will get again!

yummy fingers

In the last week I have gotten really good at getting my hand to my mouth and my fingers IN my mouth. I prefer them to my thumb, but I get my hands and face all slobbery often. Oh well, I'm a baby, that's what I am supposed to do!

I got weighed this morning by Nancy at the Mommy and Me clinic again. 11 pounds, 5 ounces. My last weigh in was 3 weeks ago I weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces. Nancy says I am a little on the low end for gaining, so I need to eat more, but she says no formula! Honestly, I wasn't concerned, I feel fine! Maybe mommy going back to work is affecting her milk supply though?

It has been sad to not spend every day with my mommy, but I must say, my daddy and I are really having fun when she is away at work! He stays home with me and we hang out doing, you know, guy things like watching football and stuff.

Letter for the North Pole

Dear Santa,

My name is Noah. I was just born this year in September, but I have been a good boy! I like to share my things with my friends and play with my mommy and daddy. I also like to play in my swing and on my floor mat, but I am getting older, so I am going to need some new toys (6-12 months) that will keep me learning new skills like sitting up, crawling, and walking! I am also growing out of my clothes fast, so cold-weather clothes (size 3-6 months) and warm-weather clothes (size 6-12 months) would be great.

My mommy also wanted me to tell you that we need a few boring things like a high chair, a shopping cart cover, diapers (size 1 and 2), and money for my college fund.

Thank you Santa!

Love,
Noah Carlin

New outfit

I got some cute new clothes from Grandma! Thanks so much Grandma, they are so cozy!

cold

by the way, i have a cold

it's not too bad, but i have a bit of a stuffy nose and cough... and the sneezes

my mommy was sick last week and tells me it wasn't that bad, so hopefully this won't amount to much of anything!

My first Christmas Tree

I helped Mommy and Daddy decorate my first Christmas tree after our hike in the snow! I am placing one of my mommy's favorite ornaments on the tree...

It is a noble fir and so pretty! and soo big!

Snow!

I saw snow for the first time today! Mommy and Daddy took me up the mountain to Heaps Peak Arboretum where they pushed me in my stroller around the interpretive trail. It was soooo cold! But we made a snow man and I shared my hat with him!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

I am 9 weeks old today!

I got this new outfit from Aunt Summer's mommy and dad, isn't it the cutest?! The shirt says "My Daddy Can Fix Anything". And check it out... my first shoes I have ever worn. Thank you so much for the gift, Jim and Linda!

Yia Yia gave me these socks and hat!! I know, I know... too cute for words!
Then we saw this rainbow outside in front of our house!!

Tummy Time - my best yet!

And here is my first Christmas Tree and my very first ornament! It is sooo late, though, so we are going to finish tomorrow... good night!

Uncle Matt

My Daddy's friend came to visit us all the way from Ohio! They met in college in Seattle and have been buds since. He says he thinks I am cute and that I look like my mommy.
