Two Weeks Old

This past Sunday Noelle turned two weeks old which is crazy since it seems like we just got home from the hospital yesterday. Noelle has been figuring things out here in the outside world. She seems to understand the difference between day and night which is great because she definitely eats less at night than during the day (where it seems like she is constantly bored by us when she is awake so decides the only thing that will make her happy is to have more food!) Noelle and Maddie are also still getting used to each other. Occasionally they are super cute and Maddie lays right next to Noelle, and other times Maddie remains jealous and either fears we don't love her anymore and goes and sulks in her crate or gets right in our lap between us and the baby. We keep telling Maddie that we are always home and giving her more attention than she usually gets but so far that hasn't sunk in!

Noelle has also been practicing her crawling and walking. She loves being on her tummy and she inches herself forward when she is on the floor. We think she is clearly a genius since this is obvously a very advanced move for a two week old!

Noelle also likes to practice walking with her daddy's help! She is really strong and has quite a grip on her and also is holding her head up for a few seconds by herself!

Bryan's mom visited with us last Thursday until Sunday so Noelle was able to meet her other grandmother. We had a very nice and relxing visit. We hung out watching TV, went to the park, cooked, and Grandma Saxton enjoyed holding her newest granddaughter! We look forward to seeing her again, and having Noelle meet the rest of the Saxton clan at Thanksgiving!

This week we are visiting the Hayhoe's at their house at the OBX. We'll post soon about the trip, Noelle's first time to the beach and in the pool, and meeting her 2nd of three Great Grandmas!
