Such a naughty weasel!
I was feeding Noah and I heard such a weird dog cry and went outside and
found this. Genevieve stuck in the fence. I went to two different neighbors
for help. She got out when the neighbor pounded at the fence board to loosen
it for her. She took off in a mad scramble. She has not done that again so
she must have learned her lesson.
Just the day before she found a place in the fence where she could squeeze
out. I have no idea how she managed to get herself this stuck.

Look how nice they decorated!
Dh works in a place with all men and one woman. One of the men was the
decorater person and did a really nice job.

Baby lunch party at DH's work
Noah slept in a computer box with a thick padded cushion while the rest of
us ate pizza and the world's largest and tallest cupcakes. They threw us
such a nice party it was really great! DH, Noah and my mother in law came.
Beforehand we checked out the Nicollet Mall Farmer's Market until it was
time to feed baby. We went to Barnes and Noble and found a chair overlooking
the market and I fed him there. He was so hungry that he was late to his own
party. Fortunately Dh's coworkers waited patiently and didn't eat all the
pizza without us.

The inside
I was mostly laying on the floor of the tub, and squatting inside the tub as
I pushed Noah out. I don't think I sat on the tub seats, but DH did I think.
Hard to remember since there was a lot going on.

Woodwinds' waterbirth tub
This is where I hung out from 9-10 centimeters dilated to the time Noah came
out. Many people haven't seen a waterbirth tub, but have heard stories of
babies being born in kiddie pools in peoples' homes.

Buster gets a boy
Look how smiley it made him! I thought this pic was already on my blog- but
I guess it didn't make it last time.
I just did my first time away from baby. My mom came over and held baby
while he slept and I took the dogs for a walk all by myself. Buster pulled
back a few times as if to say, hey, we forgot some family members. I don't
know if the pull was about leaving my mom behind, or Noah, or both. Either
way the walk went fine and I hope it makes the dogs feel less ignored and
replaced. So far they seem tired and are resting somewhere. We even went on
our whole 'regular' walk so it was just like old times.

Handknit booties
I knit these to match his hat. They are plenty big, and his hat is now too
small. At least I got of pic of him in them.

Baby Noah is here
Born Thursday, June 19th, at 7:18 am
10lbs. 1 oz.
21 inches long
14 1/2 inch head
Fun facts
He has lots of brown hair, it's like an inch and a half long in the back. He
is a really good eater- and is back to his birth weight. He likes to sit
like a little Buddha when he is being held. He puts his arms up in the air
and stretches really long when full of milk. He is sound asleep now- after
eating most of last night. He pooped on my arm in the tub. What a sweetie.
We love him to bits!

Inside the book...
How cute is that? The little removable teddy bear, and the child-size
fetching- fingerless glove. Thanks so much!

The book of knitty!
I have a friend who knits, Beth, and she is not what I would call an
"obsessive knitter" but I might have to change that. She made the book of
knitty for our baby, with the help of her mother-in-law. Amazing! I don't
know how she came across the pattern online, since she is not obsessive- but
I so appreciate the gift! It is too cute for words. I don't think I would
have had the ambition to knit it for my own child!

The mural
This is not my original artwork- I saw this mural online and fell in love
with it. Here's the link-

I simplified it a little by not outlining it in a contrasting color. It was
hard enough to paint it on our plaster walls. I free-hand sketched it, then
used latex wall paint to paint it on. It took like five different work
sessions to complete. I did it over the course of a week. I am quite happy
with how it turned out. I just have to fill in the bird's eye and it will be
completely done.
