Noah Induced Blogging Hiatus
Some of you may have noticed that I have not blogged in awhile. It is because our sweet, darling Noah decided that it was a good idea to drizzle hot chocolate into the keyboard of our laptop. I accept full responsibilty having left the hot chocolate next to the open laptop. Needless to say, the computer was out of commission for quite some time. Thanks to my ever patient husband for fixing it and the guys at PC Laptops for helping us over the phone and I'm sure having a good laugh.
Obviously Noah is quite the little monkey lately. He loves to climb and find mischief. He is too scared to walk, but he will climb on a chair and then onto the table. That is how he got to the computer and this morning I caught him on the table polishing off the last of a Coke that I had left there. I don't think he will be taking an afternoon nap. I just took a raw potato out of his mouth that he was trying to eat like an apple. Gross. Brock... Noah is going to give you a run for your money in the mischief department!!
On another note... I am sick... again!!! I am looking for any advice on immune boosting tips and home remedies so I don't spend this winter in bed. Most other winters I am sick about every 5-6 weeks so really any advice will help. I have already increased my Vitamin C, clean my ears out with hydrogen peroxide every day and have a warm steam vaporizer running in our room all the time. Bonus on the vaporizer... it helps Luke's snoring. For all you snorers out there: you should try it and make your spouse well rested for the holidays.
Post your tips. Sorry no pictures, but more to come soon!

Time is flying!
I can't believe it has been another week already. I am adjusted to being a mommy of two... but haven't quite caught up on all chores! I will get there soon, I'm sure. I just wanted to share a few pictures from this last week. Emma is growing and changing every day. She is so beautiful and so precious. Luke has been calling her 'princess' or just Em. It's really cute. We went to the doctor yesterday for checkups and all is well. Emma is perfectly healthy. She now weighs 7 lbs. 12 oz. and is almost 21 inches. And she definitely has some healthy lungs!
Noah weighed in at 27 lbs. 2 oz. and is 33 inches tall. The doctor was pleased to report that his body is catching up with his head! She also said that he is above average in his speech (typical for his age is 3-5 words... he has at least ten!) And she is not worried about him not walking yet. She said in her experience, early talkers = late walkers. Hmmm. She said if he is not walking by 18 months, we need to go back in. But he is moving well and she thinks he is just a scaredy cat. She predicts he will walk on his own within 3 weeks but we have been saying that for about 2 months now! We'll just have to wait and see.
Noah really does love Emma. It is so cute to see him get so concerned if she starts to fuss or cry. He loves to give her kisses on the head and help burp her after a feeding. He even tries to share toys which is so great! It has been lots of fun to see him interact with her and it makes me very excited for the future!

One Week
Hello all!
We have made it through our first week as parents of two. Noah is doing surprisingly well as the big brother. He is very interested in the baby and has started giving her kisses. I have tried several times to document this with the camera, but then Noah just looks up and says CHEESE! The only thing he is struggling with is when it is time for me to feed Emma. No matter what I try to distract him with, he wants to sit right next to us (watch, even) and make sure that I have at least a hand, if not an arm, on him.
Emma is doing great and pretty much sleeps around the clock. She is still so tiny, I can't believe it! She is sleeping about four hours at a time at night and that is good enough for me right now.
We are so grateful to all of those that have helped us over the last week with Noah and food, well wishes and prayers. THANK YOU! WE LOVE YOU!
