Visit to Palos Verdes

Russ — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 19:32:54 +0000

The family and I had a great little day trip to Palos Verdes. What a beautiful piece of earth that is. A great starbucks, the only one with an ocean view, and great walkway overlooking the pacific coast. As you may know it can be very difficult to try and get pictures of your entire family, so we brought the tri-pod (great investment) and did our own little picture shoot. The pictures turned out great, we had a great day.

You Know You Have A Baby When…

You find pacifiers (yes multiple) in your coat pocket while at work.
You happen to look in the mirror, and notice you have food on your face, and in your hair.
You find Vomit and half eaten food on your bed sheets.
You find toys in the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, closet, attic, basement, and pantry.

Ok, maybe not everyone with kids can relate to all of these, but there’s some that I’ve noticed . Anyone else out there have similar experiences, different ones?

A Letter For Noah #1

Russ — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 18:12:11 +0000

Dear Noah,

I just wanted to tell you that I’m sorry for being frustrated with you yesterday. For some reason you were not eating food, but only from the bottle. When I tried to feed you food, you spit it out, and made a big mess, and I was frustrated. I know it’s not your fault, and you were not doing it intentionally to frustrate me. You are the most blessed thing in our life, and I love you, and I’m sorry that I was frustrated. I hope that you will read this someday, and forgive me. You are very special to us, and we both love you very much, I can’t wait to see you tonight when I get home from work.

Love, Dad.

1 Month, 2 Months, 7 Months… Play-By-Play And How Time Flies!

	Noah in April, welcome to the world, his first day on Earth. What an exciting time. Everything changed that day…for him, and for us.
	One month later, May. He’s now barely starting to look around, and realize his new world. We are not sleeping, and fighting a lot because of the added stress, and our own new world.
	June, two months and counting. He’s now developing a relationship with his toys – making eye contact and ‘talking’ to them, making noises while he looks at them. We moved him to his new home – a seperate room with a cribe.
	July, three months. We are heavily sleep deprived, and at our breaking point in terms of accepting our sentance as parents or not. Through some discussions and working together, we finally find our position as parents and as a couple. We begin to work together. He begins to eat solid food (baby food).
	August: Now at four months, he’s starting to really become interactive. He smiles, and follows us with his eyes. He becomes much more aware of his surroundings, and we enjoy him all the more.
	September we took a trip to Washington. This is when he really learned how to reach out and grab stuff. While in the car seat I watched as he learned to use both of his hands to reach out and grab the toys in front of him. It was amazing to watch him learn to use his hands, and to watch as his hand to eye coordination developed.
	October, six months. He becomes even more of a joy. Even more eye contact, more smiles, and more interaction. It becomes almost easy to smile at him, and watch as he smiles back. He becomes even more cute and cuddly. Now he’s really like a cute little doll, with great facial expressions, and even more ability to reach out and grab stuff. Unfortunately now his teeth are really growing in, so he is teething sometimes, which causes all of us some discomfort.
	November. As if he wasn’t already the cutest boy in the world, he’s now grown even more cute, more interactive, and more fun to play with. Now, when you play with him he smiles, he gets enjoyment out of spending time with you. He seems to recognize who we are, and smile immidiately when he sees us. He now has 5 teeth, 3 of which are coming out. He’s very good at grabbing stuff, and can now sit on the floor all by himself – easily, and for long periods of time.

Noah Caught on Film

A long, long time ago…There lived a young boy of amazing talents and gifts. He was special in every way. He had the innate ability to give happiness and smiles to anyone that dared look at him. He lived in a far away land, and is rarely seen. This exclusive footage shows Noah in his natural habitat.
