Noah has been sporting a small mullet until today. He received his first haircut and did really well half the time. The other half he was screaming and trying to get down. Once Daddy sat with him he was fine. We saved some of his hair to put away in his memory box.
Noah is finally tolerating his teeth being brushed. We used to have to hold him on the ground to get the job done, but now he is okay with it. In fact, after his teeth are clean, he brushes his own teeth as well as Pluto's and Elmo's.
Jenna had a beautiful bridal shower this afternoon. We are excited for John and Jenna to get married. They make such a great couple AND Noah absolutely adores John. He gets so excited around him that he accidentally calls him "JennaJohn" and pretty much demands that he is at his side the entire evening. Congratulations again - not too much longer!
This morning Jay and I found out that we are expecting a baby boy! He was moving around so much which I wasn't surprised to see since I've felt those little limbs jumping around inside me for the last two and a half weeks. It was great to see all the life in him! As the ultrasound tech stilled the shots to get measurements, Jay gets excited and yells, "Uh oh - I've seen those before!" (referring to his genitals). The ultrasound tech confirmed that he knew what he was looking at. His heart rate was 148bpm and is measuring a few days ahead of schedule which is completely different than my experience with Noah. Noah always measured small and they did ultrasounds to keep track of his growth throughout the second half of my pregnancy only to deliver a completely average size 6lb15oz bundle. Anyway, he currently weighs 10 oz and is approximately 8 inches long. We couldn't be more thrilled to give Noah the gift of a forever friend and brother (not to mention playmate). Jay is running around with a grin from ear to ear and I can barely keep the tears out of my eyes just thinking about this perfect little life inside me.
Kristen and Dustin welcomed Emry to their family this morning. He weighed in at 8lb 6oz and 21 1/2" long. It was so awesome to be there when he was born. I can't believe we're going to have one of those little nuggets here soon! Congratulations guys!!
We did a little more browsing today. Noah is so much better walking around than he is in the cart. The only downfall is that he finds everything that he likes and wants to hold it. He carried five mickey/poo characters with him for a few aisles until he found other things he wanted to touch instead. This is him sitting with "Tanta" (Santa - he's on the bag behind him.)
