Another great week for us

It has been another great week in our household.

Oliver is growing so much and learning so many new things at daycare with Carrie and Claire.

He is cooing and giggling a lot, loves when we play songs to him, and when we play with puppets. He is starting to rock his hips from one side to another, trying to run already! We continue to be really happy with his sleeping patterns. Mommy and daddy can't complain you are sleeping 9 hours straight, can we? He has outgrown his 0-3 month outfits, and is now on the 3-6 month ones. He has been eating better at daycare, and takes good naps too. Oliver is such a calm and laid-back baby. Mommy feels so much peace just by being close to you and loves watching you grow and learn new things, Oliver!

Noah is such a little man. He has been doing poo-poo and pee-pee on the potty quite often, and enjoys hearing the sound of it, and of course "fushing it". He is talking like it is going out of style, and Marcio and I get surprised every day by something new in his vocabulary, either in Portuguese or in English. He loves spending time outside and his best meals lately consist of ice cream and cho-ca-lite, as he would say it. Oh, I can't forget Target...his favorite store. He loves going around in the toy department, pressing all the possible buttons in all the toys. I can see the manager coming to see us someday soon. Noah know his birthday is coming. That is all he talks about: Noah's "bithday" coming...everyone at school, at home, and neighborhood already know that. :-) Noah has so much energy and is always smiling and happy. Mommy feels recharged and loves discovering the world again when she is with you, Noah!

Now the best part of it all is to see the two of them together. Noah is so proud of having a little brother and going to visit him every day. Oliver loves seeing Noah play silly, and always smiles when Noah gets by him. I agree with a good friend of mine more and more each day, when she says that my life is so much better with two!

My parents and father-in-law got in this morning for Noah's baptism and birthday. We will have a busy couple of weeks, but we are sooo looking forward to it. Noah is in heaven around all the grandparents (and all the presents too). We can't wait! It will be a lot of fun. Just wait until you hear from us on it!!!
