Happy One Month to Our Boy Child

Desperately trying to find a way to comfort little Noah during his bouts with an ouchy tummy.  The pacifier worked this one time and only long enough to take a picture.  My babies simply.don't.like.pacifiers! 

Noah's adopted "big sister Amanda,"  who comes often to sit and love on Noah, giving Grammie and Mommy some much needed rest!  My mom arrived on October 2 and will be here until the 31st of October.  We are most grateful for her companionship, love, service and presence in our home this month.  She, too, has held, cared for and loved on Noah at all hours of the day and night.

Even daddy helps calm Noah on the weekends.  This weekend was a particularly difficult one and I began to see why people become 'baby wearers'!!!

Chloe teaching her dolly, Isabella, to draw.

The position that seems to help our little guy through the worst of his painful belly crises.

Her J.O.Y. in baby brother is contagious!

She is completely, totally in love!

This week's challenge has been that she has now decided she is big enough to carry baby brother.  Oh, dear!  Mommy's heart rate has risen off the charts only a few times recently!!!

Happy One Month Birthday, Noah Miguel!

WE LOVE YOU!

It is as trite as it comes, but time does fly. Even when exhaustion colors every 24 hour 

period, baby has an ouchy tummy, comfort seems impossible, mommy feels that everyone

wants a piece of her and she really as nothing to give...these days are still sweet. They are

precious. We will never experience them again. I grieve that our little man has already

outgrown his newborn clothes. I chuckle when he smiles at me and am pretty sure they are

not "spasms." Tears spring to my eyes so easily to see the abandoned love she has for baby

brother. We truly are completely, hopelessly, forever in love with him. We hope you enjoy

the pictures celebrating Week Four and One Month Old Noah Miguel. Oh, and we made it to

 church this week, a major accomplishment!!!
