More Pictures and Nicknames

I've had several requests for more pictures. We've taken a few, but most of them all look the same, since Noah sleeps an awful lot. Here are a few of the more interesting ones:

I call this one "Milk Comma." I believe my sister Holly coined this term. I think it's pretty self explanatory.


Last night's great discovery was that Noah doesn't like getting up from sleep any more than the rest of us do. Consequently, it's not unusual for him to fuss, moan, cry, yawn, stretch, etc. for several minutes before deciding whether or not to go back to sleep. He finally chose sleep after this particular battle.

Noah really likes his hands. Like, a lot. He tries to use them for everything from eating to sleeping to soothing himself. Here, they double as a pillow and a teddy bear.

After a few days (and without any conscious thought), I've coined a couple of nicknames for my little bundle of joy. My most consistent ones are Mo, Munchkin Mo, and Squeaker. I think the first two are ones we used for my brother when he was little. I call him Squeaker because when he gets the hiccups, which happens quite often, he sounds like a squeaky toy. It's pretty cute.
