Noah had his 1 month appointment this past week and guess how much he weighed... 11 pounds 11 ounces!!!! I WAS SHOCKED! Miguel and I made guesses but both were in the 10 pound range. I guess those nighttime feedings every 2 hours are really adding on the chubs! The doctor said he was doing great and just a big boy in the 90th percentile for both weight and head circumference! He got his first shot since the hospital and handled it pretty well, minimal crying and calmed down within a few seconds. His next appointment will be his 2-month visit and will receive multiple shots... hope he does just as good then too!!!
He has started sleeping a little better at night with occasional 3 hour blocks between feedings. Miguel has been helping me on the weekends so I have been able to get a little more sleep which is GREATLY appreciated! However, coffee has become my new best friend as I discovered this was the secret to being a mom to a toddler and a newborn :)
Susanna continues to be a WONDERFUL big sister!! She follows/helps me whenever he needs a diaper change, brings me pacifiers, burp clothes, bottles, and will climb up on my lap while I am feeding him so we can all sit and snuggle! She is growing up soo fast and becoming a little girl and no longer a baby. In a month she will be turning 2 and I cant believe it! If you ask her what she wants for her birthday she will tell you a bicycle... I think her wish will come true!!!
I have been comparing pictures of Susanna at 5 weeks old with Noah and they are starting to look soo much alike. At times they even look like twins, just separated by 2 years!!! I am starting to wonder if I am going to have another blonde hair, blue eyed child! Tell me what you think?!?!?

They definitely look alike! I think they looked alike in utero (not sure how to spell that)too! I KNEW Susanna would be the best big sister ever!
If Susanna and I are twins, and Noah and Susanna are twins, I think we are all triplets :)
Happy Valentine's Day! They do look so similar--can't wait to see little Noah's eyes! Have a feeling they're going to be brown! Susanna is darling and sooo mature! Hugs and kisses to all!
Love,
Aunt Jane
Sorry Joey, Jessie and I decided you were only twins with Susanna when she was 6months - 1 year. But perhaps, we'll see a similar likeness in Noah.
