Update

Well it has been a few weeks since an update, but finally, I have some pictures to share.  It's been hard to update the blog since going back to work, but it has been even harder to take as many pictures of Noah as I would like.  However, we are on spring break this week (we're going to Charleston!) and I will be taking A LOT of pictures of Noah, so expect another update in about a week.

For a quick update, Noah is getting bigger and bigger, and ever cuter.  He just seems to be getting ticklish and though he's not laughing yet, I think some giggles will be coming soon.  Can't wait!

So enjoy the pictures below, and check the web album for more pictures.

3 Months

Maybe you could tell by the lack of posts this week, but I went back to work last Monday... Quite the change of pace for me, it's been really hard being away from Jana and Noah all day after getting so much time with them.  But, spring break is coming up in a few weeks, and after that the summer months will arrive quickly but still, I can't wait.

Now, getting to Noah - The little guy is three months old today and the three of us celebrated by getting a nice brunch.  Over the last few weeks we are pretty sure Noah went through a growth spurt, but being with him everyday it's hard to tell how much bigger he's getting.  He's eating more, sometimes way more, but thankfully his appetite hasn't disturbed his sleep.  Noah is still giving us a solid 7 hours of sleep, and recently has been going 8 straight hours before waking up for a bottle.  After that, he'll sleep for another 3 hours or so, which means Jana and I can actually get a somewhat decent night of sleep.  Noah is also starting to figure out that he has control of his limbs, and is starting to reach for stuff and becoming more deliberate in his movements.  It's so neat to watch him develop and get a feel for the world around him, and every new thing he learns seems to bring him joy.  He's certainly one happy little man.

Finally, I've been trying to take a lot of pictures, but it's been hard to keep up with the pace I had before going to work.  I added a number of pictures to the online album, so make sure you browse through it:  https://picasaweb.google.com/115086009996586494935/NoahI

Noah has a new friend!

Our friends Lindsey and Jordan welcomed their first baby to the world, Genevieve Jane Grande!  She was born March 3rd, and mom, dad and baby are all doing well.  Congrats to Jordan and Lindsey, and the Groves and Grandes, we couldn't be happier for you!

Look at that head of hair!  Noah, dude, she's putting you to shame...






New Pictures and Video

I added a few more pictures to the web album, you can see some of them below.  We also have a new video!  Noah usually wakes up in the morning at about 7:00, and when I go in there he becomes a little ball of happiness.  So today Jana and I decided to take a little video of it.  It's a few minutes long, and you don't need to watch all of it to get the point, but I obviously think it's all pretty precious.  As with all the videos we post, you may want to watch it from the web album to get a larger picture.  Enjoy!

Update

It's been a busy few days.  As I mentioned in the last post, my cousin Tucker was in town from Oregon, and we tried to keep ourselves busy each day.  We went downtown a few times, walked around Evanston and Northwestern a bit, and introduced Tucker to Portillo's on Thursday night.  Noah was a willing and happy little traveller on our trips, we can only hope he keeps that up as he gets older!  Next week I go back to work, so we are trying to make the most out of the rest of the week and get out a bit while we still can.  Now that may mean I'll be taking fewer photos because I won't be home all day, but on the other hand, I may be taking more pictures because I want to capture every little thing Noah does while I have the chance to.  I'll do my best to keep everyone updated!

So, I posted a number of new photos on the web album, some of which are below.  But in all I probably added somewhere close to 20 new photos, so make sure you check out the album.
