One month old and growing like crazy!

Oh my goodness can this boy eat!!! As many of you know eating was something we always struggled with with Haley so this is a HUGE change for us and we are loving it! Noah LOVES to eat and at 3 weeks started eating 5 to 5 1/2 ounces every 3 hours during the day and at night usually has a 4 1/2 and 5 hour stretch. Occasionally we will get a 6 or even a 7 hour stretch out of him but I'm thankful for anything over 3 hours :-) Noah is already out of his new born diapers and new born clothes and onto 0-3 month clothes and #1 Diapers. Haley almost NEVER drank a 5 oz bottle even when she was a year old and she was born almost a month before Noah and was still wearing her new born clothes at Christmas. Amazing how different they are already! Noah now weighs 9lbs 3oz (50%) and is 22 inches long (75%)! Crazy!! Dr was very happy with his results and said he looked wonderful!












Haley is back to her usual self and entertaining herself again which is fantastic and is still doing great with Noah. She understands that Noah is just a baby and needs help with things first and since she's a big girl she can wait just a few more minutes until I'm done feeding, changing, etc Noah to assist her. She also loves to help me give him a bath and will get all of the things ready for us (wash cloth, towel, soap...). So nice to have a helper around but there are the few times when i ask her to get something and she says no. I can't blame her though i don't always want to go get stuff either.
We took the kids to go see Santa and it's actually went really well! Haley wasn't shy at all and climbed right up with Santa and told him exactly what she wanted for Christmas.....baby dolls and a fire truck! I'm not sure why the fire truck or that she really needs anymore baby dolls but when you ask her what she wants that's what she always says so hopefully Santa has listened to Haley and will bring her these two items! Haley also told Santa that Noah wanted cars for Christmas. We never mentioned anything to her about what Noah would want so she made this up all on her own.

Below is a picture of Noah 2 weeks old and Haley 3 years old....














Aunt Sally came into town to visit FINALLY!! Its been a year! The kids had a wonderful time with her and Haley kept her very busy playing with her and all her animals :-) Haley also went with Mimi and Sally to go see her cousins! Haley was so excited to go see them and it looks like they had a great quick visit! Haley also got to go see Santa again with Macy and Makayla!
