Growing

Noah is growing faster than ever, and so is Baby #2.

My belly is ever expanding and is quite a show in the evenings. I continue to struggle with all day sickness but am getting quite used to feeling queazy again. We are past the first trimester so hopefully things will start to get better soon.

Noah is also struggling with being a toddler. Frustration is a daily thing in Noah's world. He often complains about not getting his way or things not working right. He also continues to explore. Every day when I get him ready for bed there are more bruises on his legs and bottom. Yesterday he fell for the first time and it really counted. He smacked his head on the ottoman. After some ice and a fruit leather things were better, until he tried standing in the tub and fell hitting the other side of his head and landing face down in the water. Needless to say bathtime was over relatively quickly.

Future Rock Climber

Anytime we turn our backs these days Noah is practicing his rock climbing skills getting in the most obscure and dangerous places. He almost can reach the door knobs too. I think life with a one year old is about to get more interesting.

Noah sure loves his giraffe.

Lessons Learned

We have decided to night wean Noah. It went well at first when I only nursed him for a couple minutes and put him to bed. When we got to phase 2 Noah was a bit resistent. Phase 2 is letting him wake up and cuddling or patting him and no nursing. This did not go over well. Noah just got hysterical. We have stuck with it and now he cries for maybe a minute or two but turns on his crib toy and then falls asleep in the akward positions....Thank God his dad is a chiropractor.

Noah is ELECTRIC!
