THANK YOU!!!

A BIG THANK YOU to Brian and Angela Jones for taking time out of their lives to visit us here in the desert IN THE SUMMER no less - AND being 7 1/2 months pregnant themselves! Noah said he misses you and says thanks for helping us out so much! Angela, thanks for the movie date - I needed a short MOMMY break so it was perfect. Cant wait to visit you up in SC soon to meet the little Mr. Caden Reed Jones! After seeing you with Noah, its clear to see that you both will make wonderful parents!!! Not that I had any doubts before - HA! Good Luck and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help! :0)

I think Noah is beginning to discover that he has a VOICE! He made two distinct 'baby babbles' today that weren't crying! He was laying on his little tummy time mat and he made a single baby 'coo' noise! It was so cute! Kevin and I were eating and we both froze and listened to Noah try to 'talk' to us! hehe It was exciting...I can only imagine how cool it will be to hear him actually say a WORD!

Of course...

ARRRRG!!! Our little pirate has acne....neonatal acne as a matter of fact. I had no idea such a thing existed but apparently it does. His little cheeks are speckled with tiny little pimples! :0(

It will go away on its own in a matter of weeks but I hate that all these great pictures will show this and give him a complex!

Its ok Noah....happens to the best of us! :0)

Happy 4th of July!

He wasnt so happy.....

Everyone was here visiting and left withoug getting to experience the joys of an adorable baby throwing a major tantrum - so I felt compelled to take a picture of it and share it with all of you this way! HA!

Next time Im breaking out the recorder and mailing the full experience on a DVD. I just dont want the grandparents to miss out on ANYTHING! HA!

Funny things I have noticed...

Why are there nonslip sticky pads on the bottom of some infant socks??? Its not like this 3 week old baby is going to go taking off running down a tiled hallway anytime soon!

Also, we went out to dinner the other day and the waitress actually set down some crayons and an interactive kids menu in front of Noah's baby carrier! ????

Im just sayin....

This first Month...

This first month as a new mommy has been...well probably the hardest thing I have ever been through. Emotionally its been so rewarding and I already cant imagine life without having a child. Its amazing how much you can instantly love someone so much! I just want to sit and stare at this little person all day long. Physically though, it has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. Lack of sleep can really take a toll on a person and make the easier things pretty difficult. BUT its all completely worth it and we are already getting into a little bit of a routine so that helps too. I know it will get better soon and life will seem a little more normal!

Introducing....

His name is Noah Wayne Davis and he is the newest addition to our little circus..I mean family! He was born on June 18, 2007 at 12:30pm. Weighing a wopping 5 pounds 1 ounce and was 19.25 inches long. We are so excited about being a real 'family' now!
