Sleep
Twice last week, Noah slept eight hours straight at night. This is amazing to me, since I am not actively trying to get him to sleep through the night, and Jonathan didn't do that until he was two years old or so. This does Mommy much good. (: (More)

Noah's Progress
I just noticed that Jonathan has 203 posts, Isaac has 60, and Noah only has 14, so I will take this opportunity to write about our left-behind third child. He seems to like trying to catch my eye while I am working at my laptop, and we are sitting on the couch together. I will notice that he... (More)

Tandem Nursing
This post has been in my head since shortly after Noah was born, but taking the time to write it has not been on my priority list until now. Before I begin, I would like to say that my purpose in writing is simply an explanation of what we're doing and why I think it's great, and an... (More)

Fun Weekend (long overdue)
Last weekend, Heather was sick with mastitis, which meant she just wanted to lie in bed all day with flu-like symptoms. It actually started on Friday morning, and she did get progressively better throughout the day, but still decided to stay home from care group that night. I was planning on... (More)

Vacation Catch-up
Ah, it has been nearly a month since I posted anything. So here's a quick rundown. The boys and I went on vacation without Daddy. We drove to Philly, taking 7 hours, stopping every hour, once on the side of the road, once at a rest stop and three times at exits. If ever you need to stop on... (More)

Old Cell Phone...
I tried to re-activate our prepaid phone, but Cingular no longer supports TDMA phones, which is an older standard, but I hadn't realized that GSM had taken over that much. Our cell phone that we use regularly is also TDMA, but the sales guy said that it should last a while, as long as we don't... (More)

Smiles! and More
It seems as if Noah is giving us real smiles now. He also is moving his hands and arms more purposefully. Noah really dislikes wet diapers. He seems like the perfect baby to start trying infant potty training with - now I just need to jump in and do it! (You can search for "elimination... (More)

Noah Activities, Similarities
Noah is a great sleeper and a great nurser. He will sleep 4-5 hours straight at the beginning of the night, and 2-3 hour segments during the day. This actually gives me time to play with Jonathan and get work done! He's also efficient at nursung and does not stay on as long as Jonathan did (or... (More)

The First Few Days
Noah's a great sleeper, we think because I already had some milk. We had our first tandem nursing session at home Thursday morning and it is sweet to see the two nursing brothers looking at each other across me. Last night was a hard one, though. He had a lot of gas and would not sleep long... (More)

Sailing With Guests
Jon's friend Marc from work has a friend who had a friend (Lena) and her cousin (Sergio) visiting the States from Columbia. Wednesday afternoon, they left work early and we all headed up to North Park Lake for a sail. The weathermen were predicting a storm, but it looked fine so we went ahead... (More)

Grammar, Tricycle, Foreign Languages, Pens, Sun
5/16 - "That was a lot of running. Now I need some breath." 5/17 - "I leaved... I leaved... I left it a little bit open." Whenever someone says that he is a big boy, Jonathan says, "No, I'm not a big boy, I'm a little boy!" Specific instances include talking about the little bed that is... (More)

More Independence, Thinking, Talking
At church on May 7, Jonathan washed his hands in the bathroom completely independently for the first time - turning on the water, reaching the sink, reaching the soap, turning off the water, drying his hands. I offered to lift him up as usual, but he said, "I can do it!" And he did! The... (More)

Family Bed
After two and a half years of sleeping in a family bed, it is surely ingrained in me. When our friends' daughter needed to spend the night with us when her baby brother was being born, I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in another room. She even has her own room at home. But I... (More)

Counting Trampoline, Pumping Swings, Running
On Friday, we all had fun on the Kuhns' new indoor trampoline. I showed Will how we used to count while jumping, and he jumped and counted (by ones) all the way to 100. He did not make himself start over if he missed a jump, he just kept jumping until he remembered the next number. But Alissa... (More)

Thunderstorm
Last night we had a spectacular and very close thunderstorm roll though. The lightning actually struck a transformer down the street, cutting our power at around 10:30. We were in bed, but Jon got up to turn off the computers - the UPS only lasts a few minutes with two computers and a monitor... (More)
