Keeping up with the Nielsen's
Yesterday, Noah pulled out the rocking horse that was sitting in the corner and must have wanted to play Cowboy! This rocking horse was Rick’s (and his sister and brothers) when he was growing up. We got it from his parents when we were there a few weeks back.
When Noah wakes up from him nap, it’s snack time. Today he woke up and he was missing a sock. I looked in his crib and couldn’t find the darn thing…guess I’ll have to look a little harder. Then we went downstairs for a snack and I guess he just made himself comfortable while I was getting him something to eat. He had both feet up on the table, but I didn’t grab my camera quick enough. Somebody might have to teach him some manners!!!
Oh the joys of teething!!!! Noah has gotten his top four and bottom four teeth…and now the 1st year molars are coming in. There were a few days where it was not fun at all!!! On Tuesday night he woke up every hour, screaming. We’d go in and hold him for a little while and he’d calm down and go back to sleep, then an hour later, same thing. We were running out of ideas…and drugs to give him. During the day he wanted to cuddle..and he never wants to do that! The last couple of days he seems to be better, and back to his old self!!
I’ve heard that the molars can hurt pretty bad because there are 4 prongs that have to poke thru on each tooth…I see that one prong on one tooth has popped thru, so we only have 15 more prongs to go! Hopefully the rest of them won’t be this bad!!! I need way more sleep than I got on Tuesday night!!!!
I thought I’d tell you some of Noah’s weird little quirks. He’s such a funny guy!!!
*Likes to take a drink of water out of his sippy cup and then just open his mouth and let it all fall out. Then he laughs!
*Likes to stand against the railing and stick one foot over the edge, or he’ll sit straddling the railing and dangle his feet.
*He’ll grab my decorative fall pumpkin, look at me and run in the opposite direction, laughing the whole time, knowing he’s not supposed to be playing with it.
*Walk backwards – which, I might say, he’s actually getting pretty good at!!!
*If we leave a bathroom door open, he has a 6th sense about it and runs in. He’ll grab some toilet paper and start chewing on it and then grab some more toilet paper and start unwinding it.
*If we are upstairs, he runs into our bathroom and likes to play in the shower. Not sure what he finds so fascinating about it, but he likes to stand in there!
*Likes to stick his arm in the surround sound sub-woofer.
Well, if you haven’t heard yet….we are expecting a new little boy or girl in March!!!!
I’m just starting the 2nd trimester…and I’m feeling much better these days!!! I was pretty nauseous all day long up until about 2 weeks ago. So I’m glad that is going away!!! Noah is definatley trying to help me not put on too much weight….I mean, how can you put on any weight when you are running after a little boy who doesn’t stop?!?!
We will be able to find out if we are having a boy or girl around the middle of November. Rick is hoping for a girl and of course, I’m pulling for a boy. Not sure if I can deal with all the pink fluffy stuff!!! Obviously, we are really just hoping that it is a healthy baby!!!!
