Special outings?
We went to Gadsden last week, your first cheer camp! I took your brother to this camp when he was your age. But I had Mia with me and she & Eli stayed at the camp at the Big Oak Boys Ranch while I taught camp. But you came with me to the camp and a few of the varsity cheerleaders watched you while I taught camp. It was fun having you there! And for being in a new place you were a rockstar! Plus this was the first time that someone who isn't Mia watched you for mama. <3
I really like the evening right now. It is your least favorite part of the day (2nd to your afternoon nap!) but you love baths. You will be fussing up a storm, but I put you in that tub and you just stare at mama the whole time. And then after bath I swaddle you up (or daddy) and we cuddle until you fall asleep. I love cuddling with you.
Eating?
Just this week (the 10th week) you started taking 6 ounces instead of 4! You must be going through a growth spurt. Growth spurts were harder with Eli because I was nursing and whenever he would go through growth spurts it took my whole day, or more! He would nurse for hoooours!!!
Sleeping?
You are getting so good at sleeping! Daddy feeds you at 10/11pm a "dream feed" and you wake up around 4 to get mama cuddles, then take a bottle at 7/730ish. You make a lot of noises when you sleep, so I don't sleep as much as you. But I am not ready to put you in your big boy crib. I like having you close by so I can watch you dream.

Life with Eli?
Overall your brother is getting better about throwing toys and hitting. Today he wasn't asked to leave Jazzercise child care!! HUGE victory! We celebrated by taking him to Triple Play. And you slept on my chest in the Ergo. Perfection. But yesterday while we were out at the beach I was feeding you your bottle and your brother jumped all over us covering us both with sand. This reminded me why I couldn't nurse you longer. And it made me so sad. But you are thriving and your brother loves you sooo much!!!

Best part of the week?
Our Smith family is in town on the 10th week. It has been so great introducing you to your uncles, aunts and 2nd cousins!
Worst part of the week?
(9th week) We were on our way home after a long weekend with the cheerleading camp. I was exhausted. You didn't like being away from home, and in the afternoons you scream cried till you fell asleep (4-6:30) And cheerleading camp in general takes it out of me. I was driving back from Gadsden to Pensacola. And I was completely absorbed in my audio book... missing my exit. By thirty minutes. Putting me an HOUR later getting home. I was so upset! I felt like an idiot.

What do you want Noah to know?
You are so great about going with the flow. Your brother keeps me running 60mph, which I am sure you will too in time, but it's so great that you easily travel. My sweet sweet sweet boy! And I will order your birth announcements soon! I can't believe I haven't yet. But I will, I promise.
Anything else?
Daddy has started calling you "Nugget Noah" Let's see if it sticks :) You are my sunshine.
