9 month checkup!
11/16/08 14:09
On Friday, Noah went in
for his nine month checkup. The doctor says he looks
very active, very well developed, and very smart! He
now weighs about 24 lbs., and grew 3 whole inches
since his last visit! He is now 30 inches! He does
seem so much taller, and we can tell because he can
reach so much more! Noah is still in 95+ percentile,
and fell just on the border of the 90 percentile for
his weight, but is still very healthy. The doctor
says his weight is fine since he is so active now.
All good news to mommy and daddy! Oh and sadly he had
to get the flu shot and another routine one, but he
was so brave! We are so proud of our angel.

9 Months!
11/11/08 23:21
Momma is still in denial that her little baby is
getting bigger! It's gone by WAY too fast! He is
picking up his own food now and actually eating it
instead of smashing it in his hand and dropping it,
as he was doing a few weeks ago. He is really good at
drinking out of his sippy cup. He makes mommy and
daddy laugh so much when he squints...we say ojitios
- and he will squint, it's the cutest thing. Then he
gives his parents so many kisses, we love our baby
boy so much.
Look through the album to find almost two weeks of new pictures! Sorry for not posting anything! It took a bit to settle back home. Ohhh...how we missed home! Sending our hello's to family and friends, keep leaving your comments, we like to read them. Gracias!

Our trip to Oregon...
11/11/08 21:12
Last Friday we took our first family road trip and
first trip ever! Yeah I know it only took nine months
you must be saying. We have gone places...but not as
far as Lincoln City, Oregon (on the 101 coast). We
must say that our baby did so well! He was an angel
and a big boy in the car seat. He only got a bit
frustrated at the end, reaching the resort only
because it was pitch dark outside. He was so happy to
get to the room...and uhhmm remodel!
We did get to check out a few shops, but it was just too windy to get Noah outside and risk him getting a bad cold! Momma took most of the pictures, recorded some on the camcorder, while baby did the following - slept. Oh and daddy drove of course! We picked some new toys for Noah, but he won't get them until Christmas...but we didn't have to pay taxes - yippie! We were glad to be home safe with our little angel.

Happy Halloween!
11/01/08 00:38
For Halloween we planned to take Noah to our local
mall and hopefully meet up with abuelito Lopez'. We
went to trick or treat at the mall but grandparents
couldn't make it. We did get a lot of candy....I mean
Noah got a lot of candy and we were able to see his
grandparents later that evening. Here are some
pictures from Halloween Eve (Noah and daddy carving
Noah's pumpkin) and Halloween day. Hope everyone had
a great day!
Fall Portraits...
10/28/08 23:35
On Sunday we took advantage of some of the last nice
sunny days and took Noah outside to play with the
leaves and get some pictures - that is if he would
allow us! Luckily, the sun was out, the leaves were
pretty, and our baby cooperated for just enough
shots. It started to get chilly really quick so we
came back inside to get warm. Check out the latest
pictures of our baby Noah.
Trick or Treat! Part 1!
10/25/08 23:42
Today we had plans to
see his abuelito Alvarado's and then do some trick or
treating in Burien.....closer to their place. We had
planned it for a few weeks and invited Omar's family,
unfortunately his abuelita got a very unplanned flu
and had to sit it out. They stayed home and couldn't
hang out with their grandson. Luckily, tia Yuri came
along! She was a big help...as it was the three of us
walking him from store to store for a few blocks.
Noah had fun, but I think his parents had way more
fun watching their baby trick or treat for the first
time! We will never forget these precious moments.
The day was chilly but the sun made the day and walk
really nice. We got a lot of pictures, but most
importantly.... a lot of memories. After getting
candy, for baby of course, we stopped to see his
abuelitos. Since abuelita was really sick and baby
was really tired we had to cut the visit
short...there is always next time though!
Ohh, and we called this Trick or treat, part 1 because we hope to take him to our local mall on Halloween night - with abuelito Lopez'. We hope everyone is healthy then! Check out the pictures and keep leaving your comments, we enjoy reading them. Hola a todos!

Pumpkin Patch Day!
10/18/08 22:52
Yeah!!! We made it to the pumpkin patch today! After
doing our morning errands, Noah took a good long nap,
ate lunch, and off we went - down to the pumpkin
patch! We couldn't have asked for a nicer fall
afternoon. The sun was bright and no rain in sight!
It was still breezy, but the sun helped keep baby
warm. Our stroll among the pumpkins was really fun,
we enjoyed watching Noah touch the pumpkins and not
know what to do. We brought back a few pumpkins and a
lot of memories. Ohh...we stopped by abuelito Lopez'
also! Check out the pictures from our busy but
memorable day. Tomorrow we are trying to go see his
other abuelito's and his tia Lilah.

We are blessed everyday!
10/18/08 00:41
We can't say it enough....we have been blessed with
our baby Noah. He makes us smile everyday and shows
us something new that he does each day as well. The
last few days Noah has been doing a lot more
talking...ok so it's baby talk...but parents always
understand! We are so grateful that he eats well,
sleeps well (especially at night), and is healthy and
happy. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend
as a family. We are hoping to go to a pumpkin patch
on Saturday, it will probably be muddy, but we hope
for no rain while out on the field! Check out some
new pictures for this week!
Our baby is 8 months!
10/13/08 01:06
Our Noah turned 8 months on Saturday...as his daddy
mentioned. We had a nice and relaxing weekend.
Saturday we went out for breakfast and then to the
market, but I forgot my camera in the car. Then we
went home for Noah's nap and then headed to the mall
and REI! Daddy picked up a really nice fleece vest
and mittens for baby...their fall sale ended this
weekend. Then we went to have lunch at Sushiland!
Mommy and daddy haven't treated themselves to sushi
in way too long! Noah was sooo good...he's such a
happy baby, he makes complete strangers smile! Sunday
we saw his abuelito Alvarado's and it was his tia's
birthday a few days ago...so he went to wish her a
happy one! Hopefully he can see his abuelito Lopez'
this week. Check out the many new pictures! Keep
sending us your comments, we enjoy reading them. Hola
ha todos!
Our busy baby...
10/07/08 23:14
...is sure getting around! He suddenly forgot what
sitting and laying down are. He only knows crawling
and standing...and trying to move when he stands. We
are starting to walk him around as he seems to be so
strong. Noah seems to be in a hurry to do so many
things. Today he finally let go from where he was
standing holding on to try and sit, but I think he
may have gotten scared and pretty much went face
first! Whenever he falls he looks to momma for a
reaction. I can't overreact or else he will cry, so
this time I cheered him on and congratulated him on
letting go and getting back down to the ground, he
smiled....instead of panicked. He always enjoys us
reading to him, I'm glad he likes his books. He
enjoys when momma blasts the music for him during the
day, he will fall asleep surprisingly! He likes
helping momma and daddy whenever he can, he's momma's
big helper when daddy is at work.
Check out lots of new pictures! Here are some where he is sitting...these are harder to get!

Our Saturday...
09/27/08 23:36
Today was finally a relaxing day, although we went
out and went to a wedding. Noah's aunt Andrea's
brother was getting married...if you understood that!
It was a nice wedding. In the morning we went to our
local farmers market and picked up some fresh fruit
for Noah. Then we headed to our Supermall down the
hill about ten minutes away and had lunch there.
Check out the pictures from today.
The weekend!
09/26/08 22:51
We are all happy the weekend is finally here! As for
last weekend we saw both sets of abuelitos and picked
up some new toys for Noah and two new warm
hats....it's starting to get chilly! We baked cookies
and just hung out relaxing. This weekend we have some
places to go and we are hoping to attend a wedding.
We'll try to go to the market on Saturday morning as
our baby Noah is out of pears, peaches (almost), and
apples! His daddy weighed him after his bath and
although it isn't exact, we think Noah now weighs
25lbs or more!! We both have noticed he has grown in
length for sure! Our baby is growing so fast. Momma
loves that he will give me kisses out of no where, he
knows that I love when he gives momma love! It's so
sweet, he does it with dada too!
As for other things, we've been following the news about WaMu....pretty sad. We have mutual friends still at the company and our thoughts are with you all during this crazy time. Hope you are all able to leave it behind for the weekend and enjoy some time with family and friends.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

New things...
09/19/08 23:16
Noah and family have been doing well. Our baby is
definetly keeping us busy. He has understood that
crawling will get him places he shouldn't be....so he
has learned how to crawl fast! He hardly lays down
anymore...he either sits, stands or crawls to some
interesting thing. Daddy brushed his teeth for the
first time the other day....it was so cute, and Noah
loves his teeth being brushed - surprisingly. This
past week, Noah and momma did a lot of walking, or
actually momma did a lot of walking! Noah was
sleeping for over an hour outside on our walk -
however fall is approaching fast so we'll have to
take our walks to the mall. Check out some new
pictures, I am still trying to catch up! Hello to our
families in California!
Catch up...
09/11/08 23:35
It's been a long time since momma has written
anything, and I can say so much here now but I will
try to keep it semi-short so that you can read! Our
baby turned 7 months today...actually JUST a few
minutes ago!
Things he has done lately...or his firsts are: He had spaghetti for the first time on Tuesday and he stood up to the couch by himself! He is crawling...but hasn't really realized he can actually get farther than he thinks! His teeth are coming so fast! He has 4 teeth coming out on top! He already has his bottom two! He loves to geek out like his daddy and still loves his books. Only a few pictures have been uploaded this week, however we plan to upload a lot more next week! Keep leaving your comments, Noah enjoys reading them!
We love our baby so much and we are a very blessed little family!

Almost 6 months
08/10/08 11:20
Noah, will be 6 months tomorrow. Today we are going
swimming to the local community pool, depending on
how he does we may sign him up for swimming lessons.
He loves splashing on the tub so he may just enjoy
it.
This weekend, we had another busy one. We went to the farmer's market and bought him some veggies, he loves carrots, peaches, butternut squash, apples. We got some sweet peaches, they were cooked this morning and they are sweeter even than the ones they sell at the store. We are buying a whole box next week so we can save some for the peachless season. So Noah doesn't miss out. Last Thursday we also visited his Alvarado Abuelitos, he was a good boy with them but got tired and fell asleep they gave him a CD with classic songs, the ones I grew up with, available in iTunes. On Friday, we went to his Lopez' Abuelitos they had dinner for us and his cousins were there, they had just got back from Disneyland and brought him his "ears" He loves to have them on. We have a 6 month check up and shots for him on Friday, so I'll have a short day at work. I think Cindy will be posting something this week but if not we will post something next weekend.

First Hike!
07/13/08 06:38
On Saturday we took advantage of the nice warm
weekend and went out on our first family hike! It
wasn't extremely difficult...but it was a start. We
walked around Discovery Park. Noah loved hanging out
on daddy's back and watching everything. He liked our
time just sitting under a tree by the water - it was
good family time. Afterwards, we went to Alki to eat
fish and chips for lunch...yum! Oh then we picked up
Noah's new convertible car seat. Yes, he already
outgrew his infant car seat - but this new nice one
should last us up until 65lbs. Sigh...he's growing up
so fast.
Noah said Daddy!!!!
07/11/08 22:52
Noah is 5 monts today in about 18 minutes, and at
short of 5 months he's already made daddy proud more
than once. Today as he was playing with momma, he
said Dadda! We heard it and encouraged to keep saying
and he kept repeating. We were very proud of our boy.
Momma was sad but happy, she was proud of our boy
too.
Four month check up
06/23/08 19:45
The checkup went well. Noah is 95 + percentile on
everything! He was 18lbs 5oz and almost 28 inches!
The doctor says that he is very strong and seems like
a really healthy baby boy...or big boy as she said.
Oh...and the doctor checked his teeth! The two bottom
teeth are coming out...they are already visible.
Everything went well at the visit...well - until his
shots! It was sad as always...he wasn't happy with
the nurse - I don't blame him. Here he was...before
the shots.
Our first weekend in May...
05/04/08 19:42
...was nice but always too short. Friday was sushi
night and Noah was so great as always! Then momma was
treated to a tall java chip frappaccino from
Starbucks! Mmm! Saturday we spent the evening at the
Lopez' after buying bear his really nice REI hiking
backpack! Well...actually after Noah's really long
nap between...lol. We can't wait to use his
backpack...that's if we even get a summer! Today we
went to abuelito Alvarado's house for lunch and got
back this afternoon. Noah and daddy are napping now
and I am going to do some laundry. Please check out
the new pictures and keep leaving comments - we enjoy
reading them! Gracias!
Happy May 1st!
05/01/08 07:17
Listening to the birds chirping outside this morning
while baby Noah is asleep. It actually seems like a
nice spring day outside! We can't wait for nicer
weekend weather so that Noah can enjoy the outdoors.
Our baby is doing well...keeps getting bigger. We
bought a scale to make sure he wasn't losing weight
because he seems to have left his formula supplement
for the most part. But this is good news! Since his
two month checkup just over two weeks ago he has
gained at least another pound and half...and appears
to us to have grown in length as well. We won't know
accurately until his four month checkup in June. We
were happy to see he is still gaining despite not
drinking hardly anymore formula...it's all
breastfeeding now! He is only two and a half months
old but seems bigger to us. He is growing up so fast!
Well it was his bath night last night....check out
the latest pictures.
What's Going On...
04/24/08 17:13
Noah is napping right now - he's had a long
day...haha! We are both happy that it is almost
Friday! Friday means daddy is with us for a few
days...all day. Noah is growing more and more
everyday...leaving more and more clothes. Momma had
fun putting him in his dinosaur outfit from his uncle
Victor. Today is his bath night...he still loves the
water, however is getting too big for his bathtub! We
love every moment with our baby and cherish all of
his smiles and conversations with us. We are hoping
to get out this weekend, maybe downtown Seattle - it
will all depend on the weather!
I love my boy!
04/22/08 20:20
Two Month Checkup
04/12/08 10:57
We took baby Nøah to the clinic on Friday afternoon
for his checkup and unfortunately his shots too. He
has grown in all categories! Momma was super shocked
by his weight! Although daddy wasn't because he won
five bucks for having the closest guess to his
weight. Nøah is now 24 1/2 inches and weighs 15lbs.
3oz! Doctor says he is very healthy and very alert,
all good signs. As for the shots, momma cried of
course and baby is still a little cranky this
morning. We will take it easy today with
him...hopefully try and get outside. It is a
beautiful day outside today!
Almost two months!
04/10/08 16:57
Baby and momma haven't posted anything in a few
weeks....been crazy! Nøah has been fine...momma's the
one that got a fever due to an infection. I got
antibiotics that were safe for me and the baby and am
a lot better now. The baby is getting bigger as you
can see by the new pictures we've posted...that's
taken some time to do and I only get a few minutes to
do this while Noah is asleep or when daddy is here! I
don't like leaving him alone while I get on the
computer....we like to read, play with his balloon,
play on his play mat, take pictures to send to daddy,
or do some tummy time (which momma just started doing
more of these last few days only). I'll post more
tomorrow hopefully after Nøah's two month checkup.
Sadly though...he is going in for his shots.
We'll see how he does...I pray
that he does well - I know I'll be crying for
sure!
Ohh...and my cousins were in town this week, we've posted new pictures of Noah with them. They leave this evening after being in Seattle for a week. Noah thanks his uncle Jr. and aunties for the new outfits! Keep reading and emailing us!
