Week of Firsts

This week Noah really started smiling. I caught a couple on video and snapped a few pics. I feel like I have been waiting for this smile forever even though that is ridiculous since he is just 8 weeks old. Funny how one smile can make all the sleepless nights totally worth it.

Noah also started to really coo this week. I haven't caught it on video yet but I caught him mid-coo in this pic.

This one doesn't include a smile, but I love this picture. Can you tell who he gets the crazy eyes from?

Noah also started going to Ms. Tamara's this week. We did a couple of trial runs and it seemed to go pretty smoothly. The first day I managed to keep him there 2 hours, which was much longer than I thought I would be capable of. Yesterday I dropped him off and he stayed until 2pm. I have a feeling Monday will be different though. Monday it's real. Hopefully I make it out of her driveway.

Friday night was also the first time we got a babysitter and went out for some much needed adult time. Grandma Greear came to stay with Noah. Of course, we needed a special outfit for her.

It was definitely a big week for Noah. Maybe next week I'll be able to blog that he is sleeping through the night. LOL, a girl can dream.

My new favorite letter is Z for ZZZzzzzz

I hate to jinx myself but could this be the beginning of me actually sleeping again??? Do I dare believe this is the light at the end of the tunnel? Tonight for the first time in 7 weeks, which would be his entire life thus far, my son went to sleep without any type of fight at all. No crying. Not a peep. It was diaper change, PJ's, feeding...then lights out. Could we be turning some sort of corner? What happened to the endless screaming from around 7 pm to midnight? Never mind....I don't want to know. I just hope this means its over. In honor of this milestone, here are a few of my favorite pics of Noah sleeping.

If it were a bottle of Miller Lite instead of pacifier, he'd look just like his Daddy does when he falls asleep on a Friday night.

You know you move a lot in your sleep when one of your socks end up near your armpit.

Good night everyone!

Sunday Fun Day

We haven't gone far from home since Noah was born, but Sunday we decided to venture out and headed to church. It was so nice to be out of the house and I think Noah enjoyed all the attention he got from his family. I will still have to download the sermon since Noah only made it about half way thru before he started getting noisy, but all in all it was a great day! If I had any sense I would have had someone snap a family picture while we were there, but I seem to be pretty forgetful these days. You will all just have to settle for a picture of Noah.
