Our first Christmas as a family was a great but busy one. On Christmas day my mom's family all came over (all 18 of us). We opened gifts, played our gift game where you steal and ate lots of food. Noah was a little fussy cause I think I over dressed him, opps. First time mom mistake. Then on Boxing Day we went out for lunch with my dad's family and came back to our house for dessert and the gift game. Noah was as good as gold. No over dressing for him that day.
Then it was Phil's birthday on the 28th. My family came over for dinner and cake. You are probably wondering where his family was since it was PHIL'S birthday. We celebrate his niece, brother and his birthdays all in Jan. So we will be doing that later on. It was a very busy holiday season. To top it off my poor baby boy is sick. He has a cold. He seems to be getting over it pretty fast. It was funny (i can laugh now at it but at the time it happened i wasn't too happy, lol), he kept waking up every 1/2 hour to be held and cuddled cause he wasn't feeling well. So finally at 5:30am he got up to eat. Instead of going back to bed he decided he wanted to laugh his head off at me and talk up a storm. He was so loud that he woke Phil up who was sleeping upstairs. And let me tell you, Phil is a SOUND sleeper, lol. I was "Noah, now is not the time". lol. It was too cute. I just have to keep an eye on him that he doesn't get a fever. Other than that that is about all that is new here. We hope everyone had a great holiday season and a happy new year! We are doing nothing!!! Enjoying it as a family.

Baby's First Needles
Last night Noah had to go to the dr. for his first set of needles (immunizations). Everything was going smoothly. He was getting weighed in (a whopping 12 lbs, 1 oz, he's my little piggy boy) and is 22.5 inches long. He gained 2.5 lbs and grew an inch since last time which was a month ago. The dr. poked and proded him and then it was time. He went to get the dreaded needles. I was totally fine with it. Phil who hates needles left.
Noah of course cried both pricks. Then I picked him up when all was said and done. He wimpered for a bit. Then we went to check if grandpa was at the dr. yet. Grandpa put the poor little guy to sleep. It was so cute.
When we got home, Noah was fine. Just a little clingy and wanted to be held all the time. I went off to bed and left Phil and Noah downstairs.
I fell asleep but then all of a sudden was awoken by Noah screaming/crying at the top of his lungs. It was a cry I had never heard before. After a while I went downstairs to see if I could help. Phil said he was sleeping in his swing when all of a sudden he was turning his head side to side and started screaming. Poor little guy. We have no idea what was the matter with him. We think he was dreaming or it was an after effect of the needle? Any suggestions or ideas about what was wrong? I had to change his diaper and he freaked out and was shaking, that's how bad he was crying/screaming. Then the little guy fell asleep in my arms. I went back to bed and he was fine for the rest of the night. He usually eats every 3 hours on the button with occasionally waiting 4 or 5 hours once a day. Last night he went from 10pm until 4am without waking up or eating (minus his little freak out at 11pm). Of course you would think I slept cause he didn't wake up for his 2:30am feeding, but I didn't cause I kept wondering "when is he going to eat". Maybe (fingers crossed) this is a sign he will go longer at night without eating.
Today my little guy is happy as anything (his normal self again). Last night wasn't too bad but I don't like having to go through it every two months for his needles. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Baby's First Christmas
Noah is now 9 weeks old, almost 10. Shortly he will experiance his first Christmas. Everyone is very excited for this! We took a picture the other day of him to send out as our Christmas card. First time we are doing this, lol.
Noah is growing more and more every day. He is so much more aware of his surroundings and loves to smile. We play all day long in between naps. He is mommy's happy little baby.
Phil and I went out for the first time (besides leaving him with my mom to go shopping) without him on saturday. My cousin had a 30th birthday party. Phil's brother and sister-in-law came to babysit. I was sooooo worried all week long that he was going to be a good boy for them. As far as I know he was.
I can't wait until Christmas. I know he isn't old enough to understand, but it is still very exciting. We still have to go visit Santa. I should do it very soon.
On a side note, Noah will be going into his crib very soon. He is getting too big for the basinette. I'm a little nervous/anxious about it but will get over it as I know he has to do it sooner than later.
