Our growing baby

As Omar mentioned, baby Noah is sleeping more. He might be needing all this sleep for all the growing he is doing. Sometimes I look at our baby and he looks so big! He is nearing his half birthday and he is making his parents proud everyday! We go for his six month checkup in about two weeks. He continues to eat very well! He enjoys his whole grain cereal now. We have added this to give him a change from rice cereal, so he doesn't get too bored of one. He really likes his breakfast with fruit. We hope to get him sweet peas or green beans this weekend, maybe spinach in chicken broth - he loved the chicken broth we made for him last weekend.

Well, check out the new pictures of our growing baby boy!


Relaxing! Cute picture. Little dancer!

Sleepy head

Since Noah started solids, he's been sleeping more. Yesterday he slept all night, and woke up at 11 am. Cindy called me at work to let me know and she was concerned but turns out he's just getting enough nutrients to get him by and his body is resting more for the development he's going trough. He keeps sleeping lots.

Our productive weekend

This weekend was a very productive weekend. We caught up on all of our pending things. We went to Babies R Us to get our growing boy new things he needs. He no longer fits on his bouncer and needs a booster seat for his meals. Since he has been eating his chicken, veggies, fruits. He loves his home made apple sauce. We made a batch of fuji apples and he loved it. I went to the grocery store and the freshest apples I found were Gala apples. they are not as sweet as Fuji's but thew are super fresh. Cindy loves to make his (Noah) baby food, in the food processor. I got him some pears but we forgot them on the stove and burnt them.
He got an activity station by Baby Einstein, he loved it we got him his booster seat but he's too big for it and will have to return it this week. We went to check out OR they have a quarterly sale, We like it because of their quality outdoor stuff. We are specially interested in rain gear for the cold season.

Sushi!

I think it's been over a month since Omar and I had sushi! We went today and even baby is beginning to learn! We had fun...this was the second time Noah sat in a high chair. He's been okay so far. This weekend we are looking forward to some family time - the three of us.

Ready for sushi!

Went to abuelito Lopez

Abuelitos are back! So we were invited over to dinner and Ed and the kids were there too. We had albondiga...although it was a warm day...it was still yummy. Noah and momma went for a good walk today too - he likes the outdoors. Here is daddy and Noah on the way out. They are so handsome! Check out the new pictures and keep leaving comments, we like reading them!

My handsome men!

Dinner with uncles and cousins!

Even though abuelitos Lopez' are out of town...we still went to have dinner over there and gathered with Dina, Trey, Rey, Ed, Andrea and the kids. I like this picture - although Maya looks unhappy, it was just that she was VERY busy watching her show on t.v. I like the way my baby boy is leaning on his older boy cousin. How sweet.

First Hike!

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.

5 Months Old!

While we don't have an official baby scale, we do have a regular scale that told us Noah is now 19 lbs! He looks longer to both mommy and daddy but we won't know exactly how long until his next scheduled appointment at 6 months. In the meantime, he has had some major things going on! His two bottom teeth are more clearly showing, and the top gums are getting more swollen. He said "daddy" only a little bit ago...it was cute, yes even though momma was like ...what? I still love the fact that he beams up whenever Omar or I walk up to him. He is doing well with the solids...and we are going to keep adding to his menu! Come back and keep reading!

Noah said Daddy!!!!

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.

Reading time.

Gotta love these dimples!

Who can resist??

What is he thinking?

So independant!

Our little Noah is building his character! He likes to hold his own bottle, roll over on his own...and now - even hold his own books!

Holding his own book.

My big boy

He'll make you smile!

Rolling around!

Noah has officially mastered turning over on the bed! We have to be extra careful now! That means momma leaves him in his crib even when running to just wash my hands. I don't want to risk him falling off of our bed...that would hurt...and probably hurt me more! Here he is making momma smile ...like always! OH...and I think you can see his bottom teeth in it! Just barely...but I can see them.
