May 19, 2011 - Back to the Rain

As I mentioned in my quick post at 1 in the morning last night (the time this blog shows in actually Pacific time), I just got back from a quick business trip to Minneapolis and St. Louis where it was absolutely beautiful weather...70 degrees and sunny both places.  In contrast, it's apparently been raining in Boston all week - and it was still at it when I returned.  Interesting that I ran on treadmills in hotels when the weather was beautiful and then I come home and run outside in the rain.  Oh well. 

Very happy to be back home - missed Susan and Noah very much.  I was only gone 2+ days, but it felt much longer and seeing Noah today - it seems like he got a lot bigger while I was gone.  Speaking of getting bigger, this kid is a total tank at this point.  It seems each and every day it becomes less believable that he is only 7 1/2 months old.  But, he is.

The overwhelming excitement of the day was our great friends Matt and Megan bringing their new baby girl home - little Emily...we couldn't have been happier to meet her this evening.  She was fast asleep and extremely cute, all bundled up in her swaddle and bassinet.  Noah of course was trying to make eyes at her...she put him in his place by not waking up!  We hope they will be great friends as their parents are!  Relative to a newborn, Noah looked even bigger by the way!

Susan was able to take today off from work as our daycare was closed for its annual inspection.  She took Noah to have a photoshoot at the mall as we hadn't had any professional pictures taken since the Christmas card.  She brought home some fantastic pictures - they really are great and we'll email the link to the photographers website around.  She told me that Noah was an absolute ham and they basically got 100 smiling shots in about 10 minutes.  I logged on a short time ago to witness this for myself, and it is absolutely ridiculous how much of a poser he is...and how cute he is.  If anyone knows of any baby model agencies, please let us know.  He was smiling and posing in literally 95% of the pictures.  It's hard not to laugh at our little ham.  A few of the pictures, you can see his right hand clearly open and relaxed - and that makes each one even better for us.  It might have been raining all week here, but that clearly hasn't phased Noah...Little Mr. Sunshine...
