FINALLY....a new post!







Hey Everyone!










Wow, it's crazy how long it's been since our last post.... Med School and a new baby is just too much to keep a blog up on a day to day (i mean month to month) basis! Anyway, to catch everyone up on things happening in the Meacham household would probably take a few days, but since I'm trying to procrastinate (just a little) from studying, here's a quick overview.


Nick went back to work on December 1st. I could tell it was tough for him that first day, but he was a trooper (I did bring Noah by the office before the end of the day, however.) We found a great Nanny for Noah (her name is Lisa and she's the wife of a fellow classmate.) She is wonderful with Noah and we really appreciate her help.


Noah celebrated his first Thanksgiving! He was so good about all the holding....I think somehow deep down he understands how many people miss him and love him and just really want to hold him when we get to go back home. We enjoyed 4 Thanksgivings and we're still trying to work off all that yummy food!


Now for an update on Noah. He is getting so big! He can really hold his head up now. We've been giving him a little time in his bumbo almost everyday and he LOVES it. It's so funny how independent he tries to be sometimes.


We put up the Christmas tree with Noah a couple of weeks ago. He was so fascinated with the lights....it was adorable. Noah just sat in his bouncer the whole time just watching us decorate. What a sweet baby!




























Noah had his first rice cereal on his 3 month birthday! He did not care for the spoon and sort of gave us a "What's with this hard stick?" look. It was cute. I totally understand why the pediatrician recommends starting cereal once a day or once every couple of days at 3 months....maybe by the time Noah is ready for baby food all the time he will actually like the spoon....




Noah now refuses to lay back when he's sitting on our laps. He insists on either standing or sitting up by holding on to our fingers....it is SO cute!

My last blocks are December 19th and we will be back in the Madison/La Grange area for Christmas Eve to the Sunday after....so it should be great! We are so excited for Noah's First Christmas!

Okay, that is a brief catch up....after blocks I will try to keep the blog a little more caught up....or as caught up as possible.

Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
