The Good Life

This week was another one for the books.

Don't worry, we didn't trade Noah in (that was for you Grandpa Ott), although it has been discussed when he is having his bi-evening tirade at 2am. We met Mr. Adam today. Although gestationally there is a day difference between Adam and the big guy, he is three weeks younger...we won't even talk about size.

Noah is continuing to "expand", for lack of a better word. During our visit with Baby Adam, Brian did the famous scale trick to find out how much our guy weighed. The scale showed a 15lb difference...I don't believe it! His reflux seems to be getting better. Three cheers for Prevacid. Thanks again to Aunt Christie for the bouncy seats, even the pink one!

Eli is a maniac. We snapped some photos of him. As you can see, he doesn't sit still much so we have to get them on the fly. The bathtub picture will be saved for first dates!

Kameron is doing wonderfully. We have moved beyond summer reading. As part of homeschooling, she has started a blog. I encourage everyone to check it out.

Team Horn has re-joined the Y. John is working the guns, while I am shaking my bonbon in Zumba class. I love my children, but it feels good to get out of the house for a bit. We also had some one on one time with Kameron at the UC game. We saw the season opener as first time season ticket holders. Yea! At least there is one football team in Cincinnati that has a winning record.

Big and Trouble

We have already touched upon how much my Noah has grown. The picture below is of Noah in an outfit that was too big for Eli. We think it fits our chunky monkey just fine!




My other sweet baby boy is capitalizing on mischief while Mommy is busy with Noah. The following took place during a diaper change.

Little Big Horn

It has been a month since we welcomed Noah Samuel. Although exhausting, it has been wonderful. Kami has been such a great help, and is very doting. Eli is a typical big bother...doesn't like to see his brother cry, but will throw things at him just the same. Out of necessity, I have learned to nurse on the defensive. Noah doesn't sleep well at night, so John and I are still trying to adjust. This is difficult to do since we have been watching the Olympics until 1 almost every night. Hopefully we will get more rest now that Swimming is over and Noah has been given medicine for reflux.

One of the great things about having boys 12 months apart is convenience. Since they were born pretty much the same size, we figured Noah could wear all of Eli's clothes. We are learning that God has a sense of humor. Noah is 11lbs 12oz and 23.5" (95%) and comfortably fits into 3-6 month clothing. This is much larger that Eli, who at 1 month and 1 week weighed 10lbs 5oz and was 22" and in 0-3 month clothing. Looks like we have some shopping to do!
