July 26, 2009 – Noah has his first gassy smile and we realize he is moving his neck around on his own. He cries from 7 pm – 11 pm.
July 30, 2009 – Noah rolls from his back to his side for the first time.
August 14, 2009 – Noah’s weighed at the doctor and weighs 7lbs 14oz. They tell us to expect this weight at his one-month appointment.
August 25, 2009 – Mommy takes Noah into the ghetto to get his passport. They mess it up by writing mommy’s maiden name as Amanda Drehobl Drehobl.

October 4, 2009 – Mommy takes Noah on his first flight to Chicago on her own while daddy heads to Italy for work. Noah sleeps through take off and wakes up just before landing. He was amazing on the flight.
October 5, 2009 – Noah gets his first kiss from Aubriella. Mommy hopes this means they will get married some day.
October 6, 2009 – Noah says “dada” for the first time, but laughs at me when I ask him to repeat himself. Later, he skips his nightly four-hour crying session that began the first week we brought him home. I pray this is not a fluke.
October 18, 2009 - We take Noah on his first cross country flight to San Diego. Again, the child is amazing on the plane.
October 21 - Mommy takes Noah to Sea World. He loves the dolphins and spends 30 minutes try to talk back to them when they make their dolphin noises.
October 22, 2009 - Mommy takes Noah on his first boat ride on the way to Coronado Island. Daddy meets us there and we show Noah the Ocean together for the first time. We never thought our baby would see the Pacific Ocean before the Atlantic.
October 28, 2009 - Noah attends his first social issue discussion at the Johns Hopkins University. The discussion is on same-sex marriage. Noah thinks it's stupid that all people don't have equal rights so he starts to cry when the right-wing nutsos start talking. Mommy has to keep him in the lobby for the rest of the discussion.
November 15, 2009 - Noah says the words "lights" "good" "yeah" and "hey" for the first time.
November 24, 2009 - Mommy and daddy realize they haven't been giving Noah tummy time. So they flip him on his tummy. He rolls over and inches his way to mommy.
November 30, 2009 – Four-month check up time. Noah is 25 inches long and 13lbs 15oz. We opt out of having the whooping cough vaccine this time because the shrieking and vomiting after the last round of vaccines may mean he had an adverse reaction to the whooping cough vaccine. Noah cries after the vaccines, but is easy to calm and sleeps and feeds without incident.
December 4, 2009 - Noah no longer looks like it's an accident when he rolls over. He hates tummy time and very deliberately rolls from his stomach to his back after about 4 minutes of tummy time.
