Seems like there are a lot of demands on my time now. Genevieve had her ACL repaired last Tuesday and can only go outside on a leash, and accompanied by someone. In the day, that person is me. What a time of the year to need this kind of help, when it's freakishly cold out. Buster, has been conveniently relocated next door. Our neighbors are watching him for a few weeks to allow Gen a chance to recover. Last week DH and I were sick with a nasty virus, and are well now.
I'm working on Christmas knitting, and other Christmas related projects in the meantime. Also have been playing Little Big Planet on Dh's PS3. And of course, taking care of Noah!
I've been told to update my blog, so here it is. Enjoy! And Merry Christmas in case I don't update again till later!

Almost 6m old
This was taken on Saturday, he's been working really hard at sitting up. He
would fall asleep in a nap and suddenly try to push himself into a sitting
position by arching his back and lifting himself up.
We, meanwhhile, have been working hard at getting him out of the king-sized
bed. For whatever reason, he seems to prefer our bed. It's like goldilocks
and the 3 bears, who's been sleeping in my/our bed? Noah has. First, it was
because we would fall asleep and he'd stay longer then expected. Then, he
had a nasty cold that seemed to abate only in our bed, and to worsen
suddenly causing all kinds of congestion, while in his crib. Then, DH and
baby fell down the steps together (no one was seriously hurt, Thanks God),
and we were told to sleep in the same room as him for 2 nights to keep an
eye on him. So he had a 2 night free pass. And so on. Last night I tried for
over 3 hours to get him to sleep in his crib, and he ended up back in our
bed. Oh well.

Joel and Noah
This is our friend Joel, holding Noah at a party. Yes, Noah is chewing on a bag of Skittles, and we know they are a choking hazard. It was just for a little bit, under supervision till we gave him a toy to chew on instead. Joel held Noah for most of the duration of this party. Lots of other people held him, and Noah was as calm and mellow as can be whenever he was held.
chow time
He took to the rice cereal right away, and bangs his fist on his high chair for more, and for us to up the feeding tempo.
little snoozer
He was my best friend this day, and slept all through stitch n' bitch, so I could knit and chat just like old times. I love how he fell asleep looking at the sock and clapotis in the book of Knitty. This is one of my favorite sleeping pics of him.
Shoe guard
Buster, our neurotic german shepherd. I mean, corgi. What other dog nestles himself between the shoes to guard both them and the front door?
Hey! Help me here!
Can someone help me pick up all the letters I spilled?! We went to the Elf show at Macy's with cousin Tyler, and both boys marveled at the lights and colors. I really liked the artsy touch of the Tromp l'oeil painting the spilled letters on the floor.
pants on your head!
Mommy likes to do silly things with baby, like put his pants on his head during diaper changes. Baby thinks it's great.
good little eater
This morning he had 4 helpings of cereal. I think my eating oatmeal in front of him makes him like his cereal more. He thinks we're eating the same thing.
I love my teething meds
This herbal teething stuff is a big hit with him, and so is chewing on the dropper top.
Who needs this Bumbo tray?
I prefer it off to the side, personally. He lifted it off, and moved it from the middle of the seat.
future sigg bottle owner
He loves my Sigg bottle. He stares at it, and tries to grab it, and put his mouth on the top and drink from it. He has all the steps to its use figured out but the tipping back and drinking part.
tick tock
I'm trying so hard to finish sewing on the buttons for Noah's sweater so he can wear it to the wedding. I sewed the last button on during the ceremony. Noah was worried it wouldn't be done in time.
little sleeper
Noah went to his first wedding, cousin Derek and Autumn's, in ND. He liked the big bed, there, too. The CanadInn was a really nice place. While others were dancing at the reception Dh and I were relaxing in the hotel hot tub and waterpark. I had been awaiting hot tub time since pregnant.
