father's day

It did not occur to me until two days ago that father's day would now apply to Terah. But then again, very little occurs to me these days besides the baby, bar, and pumping. (I could've used another "b" word there to make it more catchy but thought that might be a little inappropriate on a blog.) So a little shout out to Terah who's at home right now at Noah's beck and call while I'm at the library hitting the books...

Top 10 Reasons you're already a Great Dad:

10. You bring home the bacon.
9. You burp, swaddle, and rock Noah to sleep. Repeat.
8. When he spits up all over your shirt, you take it off, and then get spit up on again. Twice.
7. You've shown him the wonders of ESPN. In HD.
6. You witnessed his birth, and cut his umbilical cord. Heck, you even named him.
5. When he wakes up at night, you're there.
4. You take care of him by yourself all weekend long.
3. You give him baths every night.
2. You have, and will, make sure he will not go a day in his life without owning a Red Sox outfit.
1. You put up with his mommy (and I can personally attest to, that is no easy feat)!



Don't feel TOO sorry for him. He gets to go out and eat burgers today to celebrate while MY great dad watches Noah. Happy father's day!!

Look who turned one-month today...

One month ago today, a little person named Noah entered into the world (not the one that built the ark, although we don't rule that out as a possibility one day). Today we celebrate one month of his existence including, but not limited to: spit-up, poopy diapers, watery diapers, being pooped on, being peed on, temper tantrums, but most importantly of all, all the happy moments of being a family together. Here are some pictures and videos we captured today to celebrate Noah's 1-month birthday!

Food and a New Camera

this past Memorial Day we had a nice little BBQ dinner at the grandparents house. since i have this new camera i decided to see what kind of shots i could get. so, they're not professional, but here are some pictures of the tasty dinner i was able to capture. you can see i was trying really hard to get those cool foodie shots you see in magazines and stylish menus. maybe i was trying too hard :). i'll let you be the judge.

mmm...

Noah's Memorial Weekend Update

hey folks,
we've been enjoying our time with little noah and we've been able to capture a few of the different moments we have with him during the day. so, this post will be short on words, but full of pictures. here's how the little monster is doing...

we discovered that he actually likes the mobile over his crib


noah had his first bath this past week. he didn't seem to enjoy being immersed in water (as you can tell), but when he was put on his side he didn't fuss as much. don't worry, these pictures aren't r-rated.


he calmed down after the bath and seemed to actually enjoy being clean


random picture of him in a typical sleeping position. notice how he finds ways to get his arms free...


another spectacular pose while sleeping. we wondered what he was thinking about...


since the weather was finally nice (and warm!) this weekend, we decided to take him for his very first ever walk in the park. here's a pick of the already-asleep noah with mom.


here's dad trying to show noah a video of himself. i don't think he was that interested. (p.s. go bo-sox... go celtics!!!!)



and, finally, showing off a new outfit!

the chubby bunny

we successfully passed the 2-week mark with little Noah! everyone is still doing fine (albeit somewhat tired). amazingly enough Noah has not only reached his original birth weight, but also gained even more! we've also started noticing that the little guy is starting to get a little bit chubby - and with that the little man seems to be getting some more attitude now. he used to feed pretty well, but now he always wants to stop to be held. haha. i'm not sure mom is going to put up with this much longer. anyways, i have a few moments free and wanted to put up some more updated pictures. i'll let you be the judge on how chubby you think he's become :-)




look who figured out how to suck his thumb!


Noah's version of Zoolander's Blue Steel


maybe he's dreaming of being the future starting quarterback...
