Noah the Duck Commander

One of mom and dad's favorite television shows is A&E's Duck Dynasty. Dad loves to wear his Duck Commander t-shirt around the house. Nett loves to say "Jack" like uncle Si. We really enjoy watching this wholesome and entertaining show.  It makes us "happy, happy, happy."

Noah has taken to liking ducks or as we call them the "quack, quacks" (after the sound they make). Usually, he plays with two small rubber ducks when he takes a bath in our kitchen sink. Well, tonight Noah saw his new duck bath tub. (after daddy, with an assist from mommy, blew it up for him) He loved sitting in his new big duck!

Noah the future Duck Commander. He is "happy, happy, happy" in his new duck. 

Noah is five months old!

It has been a while since we updated the blog with some more photos of our little Noah. He has grown so much over these five months! 

A big adventure that we have been having is trying to get him use to sleeping in a crib, away from mom and dad. The first two nights were a little tricky for us but after that he took to sleeping in his room just great! Still, he does end up in our bed in the wee early hours before dad goes to work.

He has turned into a rolling pro. Our eyes are never off him when he is on the ground, couch, changing table, or our bed, since he loves to roll from his back to his stomach. 

Before we know it he will be crawling all over our house.

Though not all of his first have been great. He has caught his first cold.

Still, we couldn't be more happier with our little man. 

See you all soon! Come and visit anytime! 

Noah at Three Months

Noah just wanted to say hello! He is now three months old and has decided that he likes to get up at 5:45am....much to mommy and daddy's delight [insert sarcasm here].

Who me? I don't get up that early? :-) 

He loves his bouncy chair. Or as we call it, the poop chair. (it helps him go #2)

He is also turning into a stylish "little monster."

He likes to blow bubbles with mom.

And to stand up with daddy.

He likes to hold hands. Here he is with little Evie.

Dad is getting baby wrap training with a stuffed dog.

Come over and see me...I am always ready to smile! 

Some recent photos of Noah

Noah is getting so big! He is almost three months old and every day he is smiling more and more. Here are some recent photos of him.

A few weeks ago our friends Heather and Mike came over. They are getting married next summer and Heather asked Janette to be a bridesmaid. Janette is excited! Noah, was very happy too, well when he was awake.

Noah is also learning how to sit up. 

Look at his smile. 

We are constantly laughing at his silly faces

He is getting long...

So far these three months have been the best. 

I love my snail toy! 

Look I can hit it and it turns on! 

I can look at it for hours! 

Mom, dad and Noah are learning that everyday is an adventure when you are a baby and first time parents. :-)

See you later! 

Nett's first Mother's Day

Nett was able to celebrate her first mothers day as Noah's mom on Sunday. She was not pregnant till after last years Mother's Day- and yes a pregnant woman is a mother from the moment of conception.

Dad helped Noah pick out a card and a gift to celebrate his wonderful moms first Mother's Day. One the night before Mother's Day Grandma Chase brought Nett an early gift.

Christmas wrapping paper!

Grandma Chase gave Nett a nice framed picture of Noah's mom and dad taken a month before his birthday. 

Noah just hanging out in his white chucks. 

On Sunday the whole family went to Divine Liturgy at Holy Angels and received the Divine Eucharist, the ultimate celebration and giving of thanks to God for all his blessings.

After Liturgy and some fellowship with our church family we went to our favorite hamburger place, In-N-Out for lunch.

Noah and mom

 After lunch and a little nap it was time for the new mom to open her Mother's Day card and gift from Noah. Nett got a haircut and pedicure from her favorite salon. Then we went to aunt Sandy's for a Mother's Day dinner. 

Noah, Nett, and Grandma Stuhr 

Happy Mother's Day mom!

Noah in Daddy's baby outfit

My mother brought over an outfit that my grandmother knit for me when I was Noah's age. It is definitely from a different time period (its thirty years old- yikes I'm almost thirty). Noah was not to sure of this outfit. 

Grandma what is on me? 

I'm not sure of this outfit...

Grandpa help me get out of this...

I really don't like it! 

Please get me out of this outfit. I'm not kidding grandpa.
