Where does time go?!

I'm always shocked when I realize how long it's been since I posted!  Noah turned 12 weeks old yesterday and will be officially 3 months old on Saturday!  He is such a smiley, happy loving baby!  My favorite thing he does is probably how he breaks out into a huge grin whenever his daddy gets home from work.  That or his HUGE smiles and cooing for about an hour every morning.  It's like he's just so thrilled to wake up next to Mommy (and on the weekend he gets Daddy too!).  Definitely helps this not-a-morning-person mom to be a little less frustrated when we wake up!

Let's see, since I last posted, Noah has a new baby cousin!  Amanda Dawn Winn was born 5/30/12 at 6:30am after a VERY short 4 1/2 hour labor.  We missed her arrival by about 15 min. but spend the whole day getting to know her.

On June 11 the Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup for the first time in their 45 year history!!!  Our little Noah "Stanley" Hamel is a hockey fan in the making!  Daddy was very happy with their win!

Oh, and earlier that day Noah had his 2 month appointment.  He weighed in at 12.6lbs., 23 1/4in. long.  He's in the 50th percentile for height, weight and head circumference!  He got one oral antibiotic (on which he choked and scared the poor nurse) and one shot that he was quite the trooper for!  He cried while the needle was in but settled after as I nursed him.

Then we celebrated our first Father's Day!  On Saturday we celebrated with Grandpa A. with some yummy carne asada.  Then on Sunday we did a family photo shoot at our house with Grandpa H.  Noah also was sporting a fun "My Dad is Rad" onesie like his Mother's Day one.

Just this past week Noah trekked along with me as we helped run a 4 day music camp at church.  He did really well, nursing when I wasn't needed and sleeping a lot in the Moby.  It was a big plus that Grandma was there too so we could trade off helping with kids and holding Noah.  (pictures to be added later)

Then on Friday we coordinated our first wedding together!  Congrats to our dear friends Dan and Emily Kamwesa!!!

Finally, yesterday we hosted our Bradley class reunion!  It was so fun to get to meet all the babies that we had been seeing in their momma's bellies for the past 6ish months (our class ended in March).  It's such a neat group of people, all with similar birthing/parenting styles so it's really fun to be able to get together and share stories and what works.  (again, pictures to be added later).

And that brings us up to date.  Oh, and Noah is trying desperately to roll over, but his one arm keeps him from making it all the way over officially!  So we'll definitely post again once he's conquered that hill!
