Noah - 1 Month

One month old!!  Our little boy is already one month old, how is that even possible?!  And what a memorable 4 weeks of his life.  Between the snow and ice storm leaving us with no power for 4 days, Christmas and New Years, another snow storm giving us 12+ inches of snow, and some health concerns in there, what a busy 4 weeks!!  

So the start to Noah's first year in pictures begins!

Noah is such an easy-going little guy.  He doesn't seem to mind his big sister squealing or playing close by to him.  Most of the time he will just keep sleeping or relaxing.  Noah likes to be held A LOT!  He also likes to cuddle right up into you, unlike Hannah who barely wanted to be held.  He is starting to coo and respond to our voices.  I love seeing his attempts to smile, even if they are just gas pains.  

He is a pleasant little man and we are so blessed!  

 

Of course we had to get Hannah in there!  She is doing great as a big sister.  She wants to help out with Noah's diaper changes.  When we say it's time to change his diaper, she will run into his room, pull out the changing pad, get a diaper, wipe and the butt cream ready!  She will sit next to me as he gets changed and talk to Noah.  

Hannah got a new book from family that she just loves to read called "Our New Baby".  It's about bringing home a new baby, she practically knows all the words already.  She likes to read that book and others to Noah.  Occasionally she will sing to him, "Twinkle little star, Sunshine, and Rock-a-bye baby" are the few she will sing.  

Noah and Hannah had their first tub bath together!  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Noah didn't mind the water, in fact he cooed when we first placed him in. Hannah was so excited to get in the tub with her little brother. She had been talking about it for a few days. Thankfully she was pretty gentle in the tub and didn't splash around too much. They both had a good time.

 

 

During the first month, we had lots of visitors. Family and friends stopped by to wish as well. My mom also flew out and spent 10 days with us. It was perfect timing, I know she was so excited to be here.  We received so many cards and gifts in the mail.  We are so thankful for all the gifts people sent, everyone was so thoughtful.  It was a pretty busy first month, but we certainly enjoyed every moment.   

Overall, it has been a pretty big adjustment going from 1 to 2 kids, but we are all figuring it out one step at a time!
