Today we went to play with Ben and Nicolas and their parents - we'll miss Nico and Maria and Juan! But hopefully we'll visit them in London before too long...
Here is a great pic of the moms and babies, and also one of our big and little boys...

Watch out Ben - Nico is heading right for you!

Noah wonders if he'll ever be as big and fast as Ben!

Noah's getting into shape for football season - go Pats!

Hi everyone! On Saturday Noah went to his first party - his friend Nicolas' first birthday party (combined with his mom Maria's PhD party and his dad Juan's birthday too!) Nico had a lot of fun in the pool - Noah mostly slept but woke up for a bit at the end to play with everyone.

Our trip to New York was great - lots of quality time with Grandma and Grandpa - but it's good to be home now! Lots of traveling for a little one these past few weeks! Tomorrow we're going to our first birthday party - for Noah's friend Nicolas, who will be one year old - check back for more pics soon!

Aunt Beth and Aunt Hedy came to visit today -

Tonight Noah had a visit with cousins Lauren and Danielle and Aunt Syd and Uncle Chuck.

Noah's 2nd trip to New York has been great so far... we drove down on thursday and saw Grandpa looking pretty good now that his second stent is in.
On Friday Grandma and Grandpa took care of Noah while Mom & Dad went to see Glengarry Glen Ross in the city - our second post-parenthood date!
On Saturday we went to the wedding of our friends Diane and Chris at the Queens County Farm museum.
Today Aunt Jaki came out to Long Island for a visit and we had a great time playing together.

Noah spent his first 4th of July weekend up on Frye Island in Maine, where his Grandpa Norman and Nana Julie have a cottage just one-back from the water of Sebago Lake. Noah spent some quality time with Uncle Zack and Aunt Jen, Grandpa and Nana, and of course Mom & Dad.

Noah's first trip to the Beach...

Noah, Adam, and Serena competed in the Annual Frye Island 4th of July 5 mile walk/run - we were walking of course... we came in 1st among the strollers! (and last among everyone else - and we were the only stroller :-)
But we had a great time and it was gorgeous weather for walking on the Island. Plus our Jeep stroller handles like a dream!

All tired from our walk! Noah and mom and dad all took a nap together!

the photo upload tool is not working this morning - pictures from maine will be coming soon, whenever google fixes it...
meanwhile Noah seems to have learned how to turn from his tummy to his back - he's been flipping himself all morning!

Today Noah had his first playdate with his cousin Christopher - we had a nice walk around Medford and some lunch for moms and boys!

This morning Noah held onto his rattle and shook it for the first time!

check in next week for pics from Noah's first trip to Maine and his return trip to New York...

Noah had his first trip to New York last week, where he slept in his mom's baby carriage and got some loving attention from lots of family and friends...

Is Noah trying out for America's Next Top Model?

Did Noah just take a bath? Or is he ready for a boxing match?

Noah and his daddy - so cute!

Here's Noah showing off how well he moves his head!

Although it was cold and rainy here in Boston for Noah's first few weeks, we managed to take him out to lunch with Grandma Sylvia to the Bestseller's cafe when he was only 10 days old.

Many family members and friends came to our place in Medford for Noah's bris on May 26th. The mohel, Dr. Levinson, did an amazing job and it was truly a spiritual day as we welcomed Noah into his Jewish heritage.

Noah's great grandma Sylvia came in from Florida to see her first great-grandson!

On May 21st we brought Noah home from the hospital - Aunt Jen and Uncle Zack snuck in while we were gone to put up a big welcome home sign!
