Noah - 1 Month Old

Ugh. I'm not liking the title of this post. I cannot believe my little man is already one month old.

ONE.

MONTH.

OLD. 

Baby boobies and Buddha belly all around :)

 Time just flew right on by. But then again, when you live life in 2-3 hour intervals - its really not surprising at all. He is all chubs but still has skinny little legs that I love to 'chew' on. However... his cheeks are most delicious!

He is liking tummy time more and more each day - especially loves it when he is propped up on his boppy. And he still loves to sit up - we have to go get a Bumbo seat soon... he holds his head up so well and loves being up high and looking at things from different angles - I think he will do fine with supervision... he is still a bit wobbly at times! Pillows can only prop him up for so long.

He is beginning to smile more - and I couldn't love that any more! He actually smiles when I smile or in response to something funny. Not all the time, most are still in response to gas - but there are a few true smiles every now and then!

 Last night was daylight savings and believe it or not... I got more sleep than I ever have (well since Noah has been with us) overnight! He went to bed at 11pm... and didn't get up again until 3am! Then once more at 5am then not again until almost 9am! I was so shocked. Although I slept, it was a bit restless with the monitor glued to my ear because I was so scared something was wrong - but when I would go check on him... he was just snoring away! I definitely think another growth spurt is happening. Which is fine by me, I much prefer the sleeping growth spurt than the eating every single hour one!

Noah and I have shared some special moments lately that I will forever remember. He loves to be sung to - and I actually sung him to sleep for the first time a few days ago. He was all big eyed and smiling - ugh, I lost it. Poor thing had tears falling down on him but he was still smiling! Pretty sure I cried the entire day - it was such a sweet, beautiful moment that I will forever cherish. If Tinkerbell ever asks me for my happy thought... that very moment will be mine.

There are also other points of motherhood that I am crying at - but more so from hysterical laughter. Some between Noah & I that I don't dare go into detail because I do have family members read this after all! But man... this adventure certainly is a great one. I wouldn't change it for anything. 

This week we also put up the finishing touches to Noah's room - sitting in there nursing him overnight made me figure out what exactly I wanted to finish the nursery and personalize it more :)

Another row of characters... the wall just looked to plain. We added Mr. Potato Head, Lotso, Rex and Jessie!

And we added his name above the changing table!

I love every moment. I live for every moment of being Noah's mother. There may be times when I'm stressed and feel alone in the world - but when I look in his eyes - everything is better. Everything.
