We went to the Great Starts Class reunion, we met all
the new babies from all the parents that were there.
Most babies were born within 1 month and a few within
a week of each other.
Proud parents were talking about their babies and their delivery stories.

Sign of curls...
03/19/08 13:53 Filed in: Noah
Our baby is showing more and more signs that his
silky black hair will in fact be curly! It's so cute!
We already knew it would curl...we just didn't know
when or how much...and we still need to see how much
it will curl - which may be a few more months. Nøah
is doing well...smiling more and reaching out for us
more. He really likes his baths...which is great...no
crying at all - he's a great baby. Here is a latest
picture.
Momma's Birthday events...
Today was a great day! Noah and daddy told me to
reserve Saturday as they had plans for me. They told
me to be ready at a certain time and then they drove
me away! I was so surprised when they dropped me off
for a break from mommy duties to get a manicure and
pedicure with my manicurist since six years ago in
Seattle. She actually ran out to the car to see the
baby...it was cute. Anyway...it was such a nice and
super sweet surprise! I relaxed for a whole hour and
then the two men in my life came back to pick me up.
Omar then had cake...ice cream cake - YUM...and
dinner for me and his family stopped by. It was a
really nice day with my family! Thank you my great
husband!
One month
We are as happy as when we found out Noah was on his
way, we have had a few nights without sleep (Cindy
mostly), but have had more smiles with him. This week
he has been just like always, calm, sleepy, and eats
a lot. As Cindy's post tells, he's gained almost 3
pounds from birth, not counting the 1 pound he lost
when he came out. Here are some pictures I
like.
One month checkup
On Thursday afternoon, we went to Noah's one month
checkup. It was with a new clinic and doctor, but his
doctor is a really nice lady. Noah is doing very
well...as mom and dad figured. We were thinking he
had probably reached 11lbs...in fact he's almost
reached 12lbs! He has gained about a total of 3lbs
since being released from the hospital on February
14. He lost almost a whole pound in the first days
after he was born...but it was only eleven percent so
it wasn't anything startling. He has also grown in
length! He is now 22 inches...he was born 21. Both
mommy and daddy are happy with their big boy! I love
the smiling he is doing when he looks at us.
One Month Old...
Noah has reached a milestone today...one month old!
It already seems like my baby is growing up so fast!
I want to bake him something for his big
day...unfortunately I am left with VERY little time
to do anything besides feeding him...changing
him...and oh yeah - listening to our daily music! He
has mastered recognizing both mommy and daddy and
following not only us but objects and toys. He sits
with us at dinner in his bouncer of course...or
sometimes in momma's arms. We are very blessed to
have such a wonderful baby boy! He's our angel!
Activities this weekend...
On Saturday we went to visit Noah's auntie LIlah (who
is only three days older than Noah). She is a cute
little girl. Noah spent most of the time sleeping so
they didn't get to talk much! After that visit we
went to the mall for a little while where we found
some things for Noah and his cousin Maya...and momma
finally got a java chip frappacinno from Starbucks!
It was a really nice treat. When we got back home,
Omar's parents stopped by to see the baby. Then
tonight (Sunday) we went to Maya's birthday
party...she turned four last Saturday but they had a
late gathering because they just moved into their new
home. Noah is doing well in the car on the way to
these places...he likes the ride - but not if he is
hungry! Okay..time to go to bed...hopefully!
Noah keeps getting bigger
My boy gets bigger and bigger every day. It is almost
a month since he was born and it seems like it was
just yesterday that I met him for the first time. I
noticed Cindy gettin anxious about him getting bigger
and not having his foot print on a cast for
displaying. We have been busy with him and since I
got back to work it's been even harder. We are going
to try to finish it today and have it ready. I will
post pictures of the process.
How much to feed a hungry baby?
We were just browsing and found this article about
how much to feed a baby depending on his age and
weight:
"Take your baby's cues (from babycenter.com)
The most important guideline is your baby's behavior. Babies will eat when they're hungry and stop when they're full. Don't expect a newborn — or any baby, for that matter — to follow a schedule or mathematical rule." Read more

Big Day...Umbilical Cord OFF!
Today at 4 o'clock Noah finally lost his umbilical
cord! Daddy had just returned from getting his
haircut and I was picking the baby up for daddy to
take when I saw the umbilical piece laying on the
bed. It was really exciting. His belly button looks
good...no weird stuff left behind, a clean belly
button. So Noah was two weeks and five days today
with a big event. He had another big event last
night...he did his first giggle...it was super cute.
We are looking forward to so many more firsts.
March 1st
This is our last Saturday before daddy goes back to
work - it's going to be hard on Monday morning.
We had a good family day today.
Noah fell back asleep after a late morning
feeding and we fell asleep right with him. He
was up in the afternoon listening to his music
with daddy while mommy had a chance to shower.
Then his abuelitos came by with auntie Fatima.
Last night abuelita Lopez came by with lots of
food and Noah was really good with her and her
abuelitos tonight as well. It's almost ten and
he is still asleep but almost ready to eat...so
I must go!
