Parenting is full of revelations, so I expect there will be more confessions to come in later posts.


Here are some of the other pics from Noah’s two month “photoshoot” we had last month that I haven’t posted yet.
“Ooo, a photoshoot. This is going to be fun, DogBear”
“Wow, This is taking a long time.”
“How many more pictures do you really need?”
“Are you almost done, Mom? I’m getting tired.”
“NO MORE PICTURES!”

Noah has a bit of a cold, so I asked Adam to pick up some Saline solution so I could clear is nose and help clear up his congestion. I asked him to get unmedicated drops since you aren’t supposed to use cold remedies on babies and a mist wouldn’t help wash out the gook. I wanted to make sure he got something suitable for use on small babies, but didn’t realize I may have told him the specifics a couple times too many until he returned home.
Me: “Did you get them?”
Adam: “Yup.”
Me: “Did you get the right kind? The ones for ba —”
Adam: “Saline rinse, drop form, unmedicated, mild solution, recommended for occasional nasal congestion. And there’s a picture of a baby on it.”
Me: “Oh. Well, good.”


He’s taller than his bunny now! He just outgrew the sleeper we brought him home in and I didn’t know what to do with it. I wanted to frame it or something.
I like this picture because he is wearing what my cousin Tina calls his “Grandpa Sweater,” which is apparently quite delicious…

Noah’s previous shots – mouse over for his age in each picture.


My sister (in-law) Julie was the first person I knew to do this, but it has caught on and is quite popular now in the family for tracking the growth of all the grandkids. It’s traditional to use a stuffed animal for scale, but I had to use two to prop him up by wedging him in between them. He was still a little floppy, especially when was sleepy and he is sleepy a lot. Emily said that when she saw the bear for the first time it was much smaller than she expected from the picture, so it’s hard to get an idea of just how tiny and cute he was at that time.
