We took a series of pics of noah’s first halloween but he just wasn’t interested in showing off his pumkin… so in love with this little man!!

what a week!! Jaythan and i had quite the parenting adventure this past week and let me tell you, it was a test I think we passed and then some. Our pediatrician notified us that noah had a small knot in his neck muscle and that we should have it checked out by a specialist. One week, a surgeon, and a two hour appointment with a physical therapist later, diagnosed noah as having “infantile torticollis” (basically, a pulled neck muscle) on his right side. We were advised on a series of stretches to do with him in order to work it out. I have to say, the first couple of days after our diagnosis (and some nasty scare tactic photos from the pt) and i was pretty much freaking out, ready to snatch up what ever info i could find on this disorder and what we could do to try and thwart its advancement. I have since calmed down… we’re doing the stretches and are already seeing a huge improvement in his mobility’s. Overall the pt was amazed at his ability to follow objects, his hand eye coordination, ect. So disaster over. I tell you what, this parenting thing is enough to make anyone neurotic!!!

So, I’ve attached a pic of jaythan and noah this weekend. Noah’s starting to lose his hair (the new stuff looks BLONDE!!) but his eyes are still that slate grey (just in case you were wondering mom) It was really a great weekend!! Thanks for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!

I know how tickled you get with cats and this one just captivated me. At first I thought he was just soaking up the sun but really there was a mouse in this little hole and he was patiently waiting for it to come out. I thought of you.

so we dressed noah in this adorable farmers outfit ready to undergo our horse drawn hay ride to the pumpkin patch to pick our faves this year but it was so blasted cold (it snowed here again last night and pretty much covered everything around) that little Noah had to stay bundled the entire time. he did get a lot of attention even tucked away and one of our admirers took a pic of the family. Just wanted to share it with you guys!

he looooves his daddy

yep it snowed here in the mad city!! and who knew that the only thing i had to do with noah was plop him in front of the window to watch the show!! He was enthralled for hours!

ok, this is one of the first smiles caught on tape, its gas, but who cares!!
