It's been a while since I posted anything - sorry about the wait! We have been very busy lately, lots going on.
Yes, Judah is 4 months old already! We just had his 4-month check-up which went very well! Dr. Reichert said he looks "awesome". Judah weighed in at 14 pounds 15 ounces, and measured 26" long, which means he grew 2 inches in the past 2 months. Whew!
Judah is teething now, occasionally running the signature low-grade fever and experiencing a little crabbiness, but overall is his happy self. He loves to smile and laugh, and his newest thing is babbling. He is starting to "talk" a lot more...
Other than the babbling, he is doing well with tummy time, reaching for toys now and overall seems happy playing on his tummy. He only sleeps on his tummy - won't sleep on his back any more for some reason. This morning Noah and I went into the nursery to check on Judah after he woke up, and he was turned completely around and flipped over on his back, and squished up against the bumper on the side of the crib! I have no idea how he got that way and am so tempted to set up a video camera in there to see what he does in there!
As of yesterday, 11/6, I am officially a stay-at-home mom! I am very excited and feel blessed to stay at home with our little guy. He's such a gift, and we couldn't pass up this opportunity. Yesterday was my last day, and it was bitter-sweet. It was strange leaving the office where I'd worked for 3 1/2 years. It felt like I was just going home for the weekend and would be back on Monday. I will very much miss my boss Jennifer, and all of the other girls I worked with, as well as all of our insurance agents. They've all been wonderful to me and we've built some great relationships since I've worked there. I hope to have an opportunity to return to work for Jennifer when our kids are in school. We'll see what's in store when we get that far though. For now we'll just be a mommy to Judah! :)
Noah has been on travel the last 2 weeks. He went to Texas (somewhere in between Dallas and Houston) for work for a wind tunnel test. His boss allowed him to come home for Halloween weekend, which was nice, but then he left for the second week on Monday. Judah had a tough day on Halloween, so we didn't make it out to the neighbors for trick-or-treating, but we dressed up for the day around the house. Anyway, I had a nice surprise last night - Noah came home early! He was supposed to come home this morning, but he got done with work early yesterday and caught a 4pm flight home. Such a great surprise!!! He and Judah were play buddies all day today and we got some great pictures of them together...

We will be in Wisconsin for Thanksgiving this year, and Christmas will be in Springfield. Then we're heading back up to Wisconsin for New Year's. My cousin Angie is getting married on New Year's Eve! I am playing piano in her wedding - such an honor! It will be a really fun way to ring in the new year. Noah, Judah and I are really looking forward to seeing all of our family again!
Well, it's almost my bedtime. We hope all of you are doing well, and hope to see you soon! Sending lots of love and best wishes!
Love,
Noah, Krista & little Judah-bean
