Noah's First Christmas

We had a lot of Christmas parties to attend this year and Noah behaved wonderfully at each of them.  Obviously he didn't have a clue what was going on, but enjoyed being held by so many people and loved looking at all the pretty lights and decorations.

 

 

Nursery

We completely renovated the room that we chose to be Noah's nursery.  It started out with baby-blue colored walls (which even though we knew we were having a boy, I did not like) and had the same old carpet as the rest of the upstairs.  I wanted to remove the carpet and add pergo flooring because it supposedly helps keep allergens out of the room.  I also wanted to paint the walls and add wainscoting so that the wall color was not so overpowering.  Nick worked hard all summer implementing my design and assembling the furniture.  Here are the results:

Noah's Arrival

Mr. Noah Patrick decided to make his grand entrance into the world on November 10th at 1:01 pm.  He weighed 8 lbs and 1 oz, was 20.5 inches long, and had a full head of long, dark hair.  We are absolutely overjoyed with our newest little family member.  Here are some pictures from Noah's birth and hospital stay.
