Noah: Four Months

Oh Noah... what are we going to do with you?  You are a mess!  You still scream... you still have bad reflux ...you still aren't sleeping well at night... and that respiratory illness that I mentioned in your 3 month post... well you still have it.  

We have been to the doctors multiple times this month...because of this terrible cough you have.....and unfortunately, despite the multiple rounds of antibiotics, the steroid treatments, and the 6 nebs a day regime... it isn't getting any better. 

For now, all we can do is love you....and fight for you.  We are taking you to see some specialists so that we can get to the bottom of this.  We think you are so sick and so unhappy because of this awful reflux....we hope to get some answers in the next couple of weeks.

On a positive note, we have determined that you do NOT have a milk allergy.  WAHOO!  Mama is so glad she can now eat Friday night pizza with the family!  Life without dairy is kinda sucky! 

At 4 months, you tip the scales at 11lbs 11oz... it's a little small for your age (5th percentile) but considering you throw up most of what you eat... we'll take it :)

And have I mentioned that you have the most amazing smile!?!  When you smile your entire face lights up... even your eyes smile!  It makes my heart melt every time!

Here you are being such a trooper with your neb treatment

Poor Baby :( 





And here is cute little you at 4 months!

 

Here is a picture of big brother Gabe at 4 months... definite resemblance here!

 

Ocean City Weekend

Grammy, Katie (Adam's girlfriend), the boys and I, recently took a 3 day/ 2 night trip to OC.  We played on the beach, did lots of shopping, ate delicious Thrashers french fries,  enjoyed Dough Roller, walked the boardwalk, and even rode some rides.  It was a nice little get away...  the boys were a handful...as usual... but it was definitely nice to have a little change of scenery :)

On our way to OC, we made a stop at the Salisbury Zoo
 

 

 

 

 

 

Our hotel room was pretty AWESOME and it came with a nice little view :) 
Noah enjoyed some swing time on the balcony!

 

 

 

Brrr it was cold that day... but luckily the next day was 70's and sunny!

I can't wait to play at the beach more this summer! 
This was baby Noah's very FIRST trip to OC :)

Happy Easter!

We had a week long celebration of Easter this year.  We had multiple egg hunts and the bunny left special goodies at our house through out the week.  Mommy even made special treats for Gabe to take into school, for his Easter Party!

The bunny not only left Easter baskets for the boys at our house...but also at Grammy's house!  What lucky ducks!

The bunny also left mommy and daddy Easter baskets!

Mommy was happy to have off work for Easter.  We spent the day celebrating with the Laatsch family.
How cute are these guys!?!

 

And of course we had an egg hunt! 
(Unfortunately my camera died later in the day...so I wasn't able to capture any pictures of Gabe and Char Char finding Easter eggs together...but they were oh so adorable!!)

 

 

 

Poor Gabe's pants kept falling down...and in an effort to keep them from falling...he dropped all of his eggs... luckily Jenny and Amanda helped him pick them back up!

Noah was sick and CRABBY on Easter.  Poor guy screamed and screamed.  Everyone took turns holding and bouncing him.  He did have about 20 minutes of calmness that day...chillaxin with his Pop-pop.

and I did manage to get some pics of his Easter outfit...

with a cotton tail...

and bunny ears :)

 

A special backyard delivery from the bunny!

That Easter bunny sure did spoil the boys this year!  Apparently while Gabe was taking his afternoon nap, the bunny had this delivered to our backyard!  Hip Hip Hooray!  We love our new swingset!  There is even a special baby swing for our special little man!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt

While Gabe was reading bedtime stories with Daddy, that silly Easter Bunny snuck into our house and hid glow in the dark Easter eggs all over!  It was so cool!  The eggs were even filled with money and jelly beans!
