Someone LOVES being a big sister!

Can you tell? Lael had a special treat yesterday when she went to visit Noah . . . she got to hold her baby brother for the first time! She also read some books to him, which he seemed to really enjoy!

One month old!

The newest addition to our family is one month old today!

Happy birthday, Noah!
We are so glad that God sent you to us, and we are counting down the days until you can come home!

Pumpkin smile!

I can't believe it!

My big boy has lost his first tooth!

I still remember when he got his first tooth . . . has it really been that long?

He's growing up sooooo fast!

Snuggling with Noah

In case you weren't sure, I love having times to snuggle with Noah! I would sit and hold him all day, every day if I could!

Here are some more pictures of our big boy -- he's getting so much more alert!

Mommy-Noah time!

I absolutely love times when I can go in and snuggle with Noah. It's not the same as holding your baby at home . . . with all the wires and monitors, but it's still oh, so sweet!

Such tiny fingers . . .
. . . and toes!

Sweet baby face!

You have to love this sweet baby face!

(And is he sucking his thumb???)

Snuggles with Noah

Every parent looks forward to having their baby placed in their arms for the first time. We had to wait a little longer than most, but that only made the moment sweeter!

Mommy first held Noah on June 1st - he was 6 days old!

And Daddy's turn came four days later, on June 5th!
Lael and Jaden were there to see Noah snuggled in Daddy's arms . . .

Now we're all the more eager for those wonderful snuggle times once we get to bring Noah home!
