New camera- fun pics!
This post is just a hodge podge of things that happened at various times in April. I am really far behind in my blog posts but want to make sure that I post some of my favorite pictures!

The Bronx Zoo (April 10, 2011)
Ok, I know what all you non-New Yorkers are thinking! The Bronx?!? Yikes! But actually, the Bronx Zoo is fabulous and is a nice retreat from the hustle and bustle of the NYC metro area! We liked it so much we bought a family membership at the end our visit, despite our looming overseas move!
The lions were roaring and playing- it was amazing!

The Philadelphia Zoo (April 9, 2011)
We decided to take a family trip to the Philadelphia Zoo. This zoo was the first zoo in the US and was good fun. It is about an hour and a half drive to Philly from where we live but the kids were well behaved and we made the journey in good time.
Esme loves animals and spent the day pointing and shrieking with delight! The most exciting part of her day, however, was her very first pony ride!
She also enjoyed feeding the sheep and the goats
Stephen and I saw giraffes on our safari honeymoon but did not witness them running. I think this may be one of the most majestic things I have ever seen.
Noah slept the entire time and Esme was definitely worn out at the end of the day!

Around 1 month....
I know my timelines haven't been great but I keep running across videos and pictures that I don't want to forget about. Around 14.5 months, Esme began to throw fits when she was eating. It took me about two weeks (yes, I was a bit slow!) to figure out that she wanted to feed herself. I gave her a spoon and PRESTO! No More wiping all of her food onto the floor! All she wanted was to eat like a big girl and I wasn't letting her. Here is a video I shot right after my AHA! moment.
Esme LOVES to dance. American Idol is a guilty pleasure of mine... apparently it is for Esme as well! Here is is dancing to one of the contestants singing an Elvis song. She knows a good thing when she sees/hears it because Scotty McCreery went on to win the competition!
Just a few pics that I love from when Noah was about a month.

A few of Noah's firsts...
I know this blog might be a bit out of order, but I wanted to be sure to write about a few of Noah's "firsts."
His first real bath was on March 19th, two days after his umbilical stub fell off. He didn't seem to mind it too much until we had to flip him over to wash his back. Grandma Julie was a big help!
First bath
A few baths later..
Everywhere we go, we get told what a beautiful newborn Noah is. We agree!
Noah's first smile was on April 12th, just after his one month birthday. I didn't catch the very first smile, but I caught the after smirk!
He is all arms and legs!

No more Bottle!
Esme was a champ and gave up her bottle at 15.5 months! The first day was a breeze but the second day was a bit of a battle! After we made it past day two, it was smooth sailing! What a big girl!
I am breastfeeding Noah but because he is tongue tied, I often have to pump milk and give it to him in a bottle. I thought that Esme would see Noah's bottle and want one but she was very good about the whole thing. You hear stories of toddlers regressing when a new baby arrives but we haven't had any issues with Esme. If she finds a bink somewhere in the house, she brings it right to him. The same thing if she sees a bottle sitting somewhere that he has already finished. I think it definitely helps that we used different bottles for Noah.
We are very proud of our cheeky, big girl!
This one is for Grandpa Gordy....he will be so proud!

Odds and Ends
This is just a blog full of pictures from Noah's first few weeks of life.
Noah and his big sister
Esme is always gentle with Noah but sometimes gets a bit jealous when he uses things that used to be hers, like the play mat or the swing. She will use them any chance she gets!

Noah is such a relaxed baby. We were all eating dinner and when I looked down at his swing to check on him, I saw that Esme had thrown a chip with guacamole on his face! The little love didn't make a peep but it sure made us laugh!
