Pre-Snooze

There's a magical moment in the crib just before Noah knocks off to sleep:

Two Months

Our littlest guy is now two months old!  Time flies.  I'm thrilled to report that one of his favorite activities is sleeping.  Whatta guy!

Whoohoo!  Mommy finally remembered to take my photo.

Now wasn't that worth it?  I'm so cute!

Whaddya mean no solid food this month?  Are you serious?

You see how much I love a good bottle.  Vintage is important.  Now gimme sumthin' a' chew on, ok?

Hey dog -- do you have anything good to snack on?

Cousin Cuddles

We love it when our cousins visit our home! 

Hugs from Big Sis

Ashley summed it up well:  "Holding Noah is like having a warm bundle of love resting on your chest. This is the best feeling."

Back At It

Noah is back in tummy time again.  While he doesn't actively fight it, I'm not sure how much he loves it either:

Mobile Madness

Noah is one smart kid.  Look what he's already figured out:

These guys are going in circles  They're making me tired.

They're not making much progress, eh?

Dim Sum

All of our children love eating dim sum, so we decided it was time for Noah to tag along on this family adventure. 

HoneyDew

One vacation requirement, even if it is a staycation, is to have lots of junk food.  Honeydew donuts to the rescue!

Through the Eyes of my Children

We visited The Breakers over the winter vacation to see the house gussied up for the holidays.  What a spectacular sight!

The A-team so thoroughly enjoyed this trip and tour that they kept asking to take photos with my camera.  So without further delay, here are some of the photos they snapped.  I take all of the credit for the final photo in today's post.

Kids' eye view of the kitchen.  Amazing height - with cabinets all around!

Mostly knocked out for the ride home.

Mommy's Dude

He melts my heart on a daily basis:

Hello Mommy!

Put 'em up... put 'em up!  I'm willing to fight for my right to have choclate formulac.

Whaddya mean this is a liberal, pacifist town and I can't fight for chocolate formulac?
Papa is right:  these people in MA are something else.

Future IOU?

Someone should tell Adam not to put promises of household chores in writing because one day when he's a teen and wants to go out with his friends, we'll show this to him.  And hand him a rake:

There's good news for Adam though. Noah will probably be over the "hold me now" phase by then.

From Adam's Desk

This kid shows some serious talent when you give him pens, paper and time:

Wise Guy

He's up to more antics today:

Hooray!  I made it off the couch!

What?!?! You want me to exercise on my tummy now?  Take me back to the couch, please.

Quick getaway?

Noah is beginning to realize that he's going to take photos every time he wakes up.

Mommy's got me cornered.  Again.

Hey Mom!  Look to the right!  Is that chocolate?

Lemme see if I can crawl my way outta here....

No wonder why the kid is sleeping so much!

Cutie Pie

So many cute photos of Noah to share:

napping on the couch

holding my own pacifier!

Hold Me Now

... whoa, warm my heart. Stay with me, let lovin' start...  sorry.  Lyrics from the 1980's.

Everyone wants to hold Noah:

Whoa!  That's a whole lotta lovin' goin' on....

Rockin' Play

Some gear purchases are better than others.  This was certainly one of them -- all of our kids loved hanging out in the Rock and Play.  Thanks Fisher Price!

Optical Illusion

Not sure why, but the car seat always looks larger in the photos than it is in real life.  Must be something with the camera lens... but this always makes for a cute shot:
