Noah Cardiel Holt | My life according to other people

It was a rainy Saturday, not much going on, but we thought maybe Noah would like to see Santa so we trekked into the city.

The line wasn’t long…

..but neither was Noah’s patience for this “Santa” dude.

Santa was a little easier to deal with from the safety of Mom’s lap with a lollipop.

..but we definitely weren’t getting any photo ops.

To deal with the failure of our mission, we drowned our disappointment in some donuts from the farmer’s market.

Noah weighs 20 lbs. 13 oz. (up from 18 lbs. 6 oz. 3 months ago), is 30.5 inches tall, and the pediatricians office got some great new toys.

Noah’s bib matches the sky outside.

This visit to the doctor wasn’t as fun though.  Mainly because Kate (Mom) was at work so she couldn’t join us, but also because Noah wasn’t into it.  Last time we visited he loved playing with the paper on the table where they weigh him, this time he just wanted out.

Not even the mirror could distract him.

So Noah sat in my lap for the entire examination, which made it tough to take photos, but he did just fine and even managed to get a lollipop out of the whole deal.

Noah, you needed that flu shot.  Don’t be mad…

Let’s go back in time and think about the fun you had before the shot…  Remember?  You liked the new (fake) aquariums that they put in.

And you liked running around playing with all the toys for once.

Seeing the doctor isn’t so bad…

I have a love/hate relationship with Target.

A) I live in NYC, I shouldn’t be shopping at Target.

2) Target is so tempting, they should have everything.

C) They never have what I want.

“Noah what do you think?”

Noah had his one year check up yesterday.  It’s a big visit, if only because this is the visit where they draw blood.  Noah is now 29.5 inches tall, he weighs 18 lb 6 oz, and his head is 17.8 inches.  He’s pretty average for his height, but he is low in weight.
