you weigh 14lbs and are 24 and 3/4 inches long.
you are cooing and smiling, especially when your big brothers are near.
you have been going to bed between 7 and 8pm and usually doing a 6 hr sleep stretch (till 1) and then waking up every 2-3 after that. You wake up between 7 and 8am and usually take a few cat naps in the ergo (20-40) min in the morning, a long nap (usually 2-3 hrs) in the afternoon with your brothers and an evening nap in the ergo. I'm sure this will change as you're still settling into your own little rhythm :) but we're happy you have your own little routine going on!
you love to be held and looking out to see everything as you quietly observe; you get quiet as you take it all in.
you nurse every couple hours in the day except for your long afternoon sleep stretch
you fuss for a few minutes before you go to sleep
you are such a sweet boy and we are so in love with you Noah Samuel!
I'm sorry you don't have as many pictures or updates as your brothers did, but we still love you just the same and are soaking up every minute of your preciousness.
it was fun to look back and see lucas' 2 month and caleb's 2 month updates
life with three thoughts.
some of our crazier moments look like this: the big boys are torturing each other with sticks or pretend dog bites (don't ask) while mama tries to cook breakfast (I'm always so happy once I get to eat) as noah is trying to go down for his first nap; so sometimes I've got noah in the ergo, one time I had lucas in the ergo on my back and noah in the stroller being rocked back and forth with pacifier inserts by caleb. every day there's almost at least 2 children crying at once either at breakfast, lunch, or nap time go downs. Sometimes I sing through it, sometimes I hide. Sometimes I eat one too many peanut butter banana honey sandwiches. But usually I just keep reminding myself that I'll be having my run later, that hubby will be home in a few short hours to save me. That I'll be able to have a few quiet moments doing my devotionals and bible study with birds chirping at nap time. That it's only 10 minutes (usually) of crazy and that they'll only be little for awhile and someday, I'm going to miss this. I've survived solo dentist trip and solo dr. trip (with shots and dentist agony for the boys) I've survived three crying children in public. Things that once would have had me crumple into a heap mess don't anymore. I'm braver and stronger, and mostly now...all we can do is laugh, because it sure is crazy. Moments to ourselves are rarer these days, but we appreciate them more. At the end of the day when I tuck in my three precious boys one by one I can't help but feel as though my heart might burst with love for them. And that one day I'm going to look back and miss the little boy potty talk at the dinner table (what's up with that?) and the fascination with sticks that they must find, everywhere! and the tormenting that they do to each other (it honestly drives me nuts!), I'll miss the hugs, the laughter, and being the one who gets to wipe those tears away and kiss those little boy checks. I'll miss the one calm part of our day in the evening as we all walk together and breathe in fresh air. So the days are long and the nights are way too short at this point!! But I'll take it all; these precious boys and their daddy fill up my heart and I'm so thankful God gifted them to me.
