Bright Eyed Baby

It's hard to get pictures of Noah with his eyes open, so I thought I'd post the few that I have (and a few sweet sleeping ones too). He is the most content, laid back baby I've ever been around. He rarely cries...only when changing his diaper, bath time and if he gets really hungry. The rest of the time, he sleeps.

He's just over a week old and already he's sleeping 5-6 hours at night! It almost worries me. I asked my mom if she thought something could be wrong. I'm just not used to this!

Brady, as sweet and beautiful as he was, nearly drove me to drinking! He screamed (and I do mean screamed!) from 9 in the morning until 10 at night every, single, day for 7 months! It was colic in overdrive!! He didn't sleep through the night until he was 13 months old and he was 10 months before he took a nap that was longer than 30 minutes. Add to that the fact that he wanted to nurse every hour to hour and a half and a husband who left when he was 11 weeks old...it was challenging to say the least.

I suppose God just knew that if I were ever to have another child I needed one like Noah!

  5. So sweet, Jordan! You crack me up with the way you described Brady. I do think God likes to make babies of same gender that are close in age distinct opposites pretty much from the start. Congrats, Momma!
