time flies

Noah is 4 weeks old today! He'll be one month on Monday. He's a lot more alert these days, and actually plays back with me now. He smiles and coos, and he loves his bouncy seat. He's discovered the great outdoors too- we've had two play sessions under our tree in the backyard.

and for his big milestones today...he took his first bottle. I've been breast feeding him since he was born, but we need to get him used to bottles for when i go back to work. The plan is to do at least 2 bottles a week for now, and then once it gets closer to me going back to work we'll switch to one bottle a day. I'm pumping the bottles, so it's still all breast milk. It's great that Joe is getting to bond with Noah and feed him too, but I cried. It's completely silly, but I felt like I wasn't needed as much.

and, he took his first tub bath! this was a much more enjoyable milestone for me then the first. He loved his bath time and just chilled out while I soaped him up and talked to him. and he loves hooded towels, almost as much as I love seeing him in them :-) Daddy got some pictures, I'll have to upload them soon.


but now, he's sleeping after his big day so it's time for me to go to bed too(at 9:21 pm on a Friday). I'll be up again in a few hours, but for the most part he's a great sleeper. I'm not going to jinx myself and brag about how long he sleeps though, that would just be silly :-P
