Five Months Old

Happy five month birthday to Noah! Today, Noah started rice cereal.

About to begin.


This isn't formula!


I think I just might like this after all!


All done! He ate every bit of it and drank 5 oz. of formula afterwards.


That was hard work! Nap time!

Baby Pageant

We entered Noah into a baby pageant. There are three categories: photo, beauty, and royalty. For the photo category, we had to submit a photo of Noah that showed off his features. Below, is the beauty category (8/21) where we actually had to show off the baby. He spit up/vomited right before we went onstage. Oh well! Turns out, he had a little bug for a couple days but is better now. The royalty division (9/19) is based solely on who can sell the most tickets for a trip for two to Vegas. So far, he is in the lead but with a little less than a month left of ticket selling, anything is possible. The babies can receive King, Prince, or Duke from the royalty sales and they can win in any category. I guess we'll find out next month if he won anything. Even if he doesn't, it was fun and he's still our little king.

Gage's 1st Birthday!

We attended Gage's 1st birthday party on August 14.

It was so hot out (What, hot in Texas?) that we stripped Noah down to his diaper.

In Daddy's Outfits

We had some of Brian's old baby outfits in the closet and decided to put them on Noah.

First Time in the Pool

Noah got in the pool (NAKED) for the first time on July 31. He really didn't know what to think about it. He just kept looking down at the water as if saying, "Man, this is a really big bathtub!"

4 Months Old

Ok, so I am a month behind. Here's a picture of Noah on his 4 month checkup on 7/21/10.

His stats were: 15 lbs. 2oz. (61%) and 25.5 in. (76%).

I didn't get a picture of Noah while he was actually awake on 7/24 so here is one of him asleep on his actual 4 month birthday.
