Lazy Sunday Afternoon

After church this morning, Daniel, Noah and I took a leisurely afternoon nap. In fact, father and son are still snoring away. This nap was on top of a nine hour marathon sleep last night - I'm now so well rested I don't know what to do with myself. If find that one extremely good night of sleep is followed by several so-so nights, so my expectations for tonight are not high. But, I find that I welcome any sleep I can get, so no complaints.

Noah is two months old today. At two months, he enjoys looking at his crib mobile, sucking his pacifier, snuggling with Mommy, going for long walks in the stroller, or just being out and about in general. Both the car seat and the baby swing are hit or miss - sometimes putting him in either results in a long peacful nap, other days painful wailing insues.

Noah continues to fall asleep easily at night, though he has started to resist sleep more and more during the day. I think he is fearful of missing out on anything exciting that may happen during a nap. Bath time is still not popular, though much more tolerated. As long as the pacifier is in his mouth, Noah can handle a few minutes in the tub. In the last few days, Noah's eyebrows and eyelashes have gotten thicker and longer; he maintains a head full of thick brown hair. At times I think both his hair and eyes are getting lighter, though it's still tough to predict what color either will be. The jury is still out on whether Noah looks like Mommy or Daddy - we've heard people say both.
