All About Noah &Elle: January 2012

Tuesday January 31

Noah counted to ten on his own tonight when we were reading his This Old Man book... he skipped the number 5, but I still think it's awesome!

Monday January 30

Noah was flipping through a similac pamphlet at the dinner table while waiting for his dinner and began counting the pages as he flipped... he counted to 6.

Elle had her second official doctor visit today. She weighs 9 lbs 9oz! She has also grown an inch taller. She measures 50% for head circumference and height and 40% for weight. She got 3 shots and was so sad about it...she remained upset all evening. Luckily she fell asleep when we left the dr. because today was the first day I took her to pick up Noah from school... it was difficult to hold her carrier, Noah's lunch kit, his jacket, and his cup while trying to get Noah safely to the car. He ran away and went up a ramp in the gated area just outside the door,so I made sure to hold on to his shirt when we left the gate.

Wednesday January 25

Elle has started cooing when I talk to her. She likes to lie flat on a pillow on my lap or on the couch next to me or on the activity floor mat and have conversations.

Tuesday January 24

(by the time I got the camera she was pretty tired and not lifting up too far)

Elle has really been enjoying time on her floor mat. She will even tolerate some tummy time and is doing well learning to hold her head up. She also has been smiling a lot when I talk to her.

this is how we take showers

Noah's "tea party"

she's so cute when she's sleeping

Noah was helping me get food for the cat this morning and he helped himself to a piece... he seemed to like it even though I kept trying to get him to spit it out on his own by saying ooh yucky Noah, that's gross!

Saturday January 21

Elle tired herself out while playing on the mat.

Saturday January 21

Elle smiles a lot, but I think it's mostly gas. Today I am positive she smiled for real when Noah came to play with her on the floor mat. She really loves her brother as much as he loves her... hope I can still say this in a few years! Oh yeah, and he climbed over the sofa and climbed into her pack and play with her.

Thursday January 19

Elle started to look at herself in the mirror above her swing yesterday, but today she was really checking herself out. She was amazed by her own beauty!

Wednesday January 18

Elle cried real tears today :( and she slept for 6 hours straight last night... she's growing up so quickly.

Monday January 16

Everyone did well on the car ride home. I couldn't get a pic of Elle since she is facing the back seat.

Sunday January 15

Good Morning

Noah LOVES his sister.

crazy eyes!

Saturday January 14

It is amazing how mesmerizing tv can be.

We had a busy day. A morning play date with the Powers girls and an evening Saints playoff dinner party.

Noah had fun on his play dates. Elle was pooped.

Tuesday January 10

Everyone likes a little reading material on the pot... if only we could get Noah to sit long enough to actually pee in it. He will say "hurry, potty" but he only sits for a few seconds and then he gets up and runs away... at least he is working on his ability to hold it.
