The Noah Update - without Pictures

For whatever reason, we seem to be having problems taking pictures these last few days.   When we were ready to take pictures, the battery was dead.   So we do promise to get some updates out here really soon.   The little guy is putting on some serious weight - so we are certain you will think he looks different.   He is building his biking and volleyball muscles.

Each day, Noah seems to grow in some way.    Whether it be through his height, weight, his engaging eye contact, to sleeping - each day is something new for him.    After diaper changes, he has become fond of focusing on a very colorful rattle that we have for him.   It isn't for long - but he still thinks it is pretty cool.

On Sunday, Noah went to his first cyclocross race.   We think he was the youngest fan there.   But he got to meet many of Jesse's teammates and experience the NW racing scene.   He was happily asleep in the moby on my chest.   But he did endure the cowbells and drumline...go figure.   

He has also been going through a bit of a growth spurt the last few days.    It is supposedly a two week growth spurt - basically, he wanted to eat about every 1 1/2 hours.    Needless to say, we are all a little tired from that experience.   He seems to have slowed down a bit today - but had one voracious eating fit late in the afternoon.    It is also followed up by an evening fussy time which we have tried everything to get him settled down - and have resorted to him finally crying himself out.   So hard to do....but when you have exhausted all other measures, that is what is left.  

Thankfully, Paula visited today and helped clean up the house.   She provided some much needed order in the house and of course some food too.   We so appreciated the help that she has given us both physically and emotionally!!

The Sampson family is doing well and promises to post some pictures here really soon!
