Boys will be boys.....and sooo much more!

Hello!

My name is Danny and I am the oldest boy in the Kostov family - I'm 9 years old. In Bulgaria, where I live with my family, you would call me "Batko," which means 'big brother'. Would you like to meet my two younger brothers? Ok. Here they are...

Hello!

My name is Matty. I am the middle child in the Kostov family - I am 8 years old. Until recently I was the youngest! Do you know what happened to change my status? A little brother was born! I still can't figure out this middle child thing! My mother says I still act like I'm the baby in the family! That's ok because I want to be the baby ...forever!

Drum roll please.......Danny and Matty would like to present to you the newest addition to the Kostov's.......Noah!

Hello! My name is Noah and I am three months old. My Mom and Dad say that I am growing by the minute! That may be true - last week I went to the doctor's office with my batko Danny and the doctor asked my mom if I was 6 or 7 months old! Can you believe that!?! To be taken for twice your age? Well, it may be an offense to some but to me - I felt proud! I held my neck strong and my head up high (and tried not to head-butt my mother)! Oh, this is me with my favorite towel - it has an elephant on it! Bye for now!

Look at that Baby!

Here's what Noah looks like at about two months.

His neck is getting strong and he's working hard at lifting his head up and looking around! It's hard but he's getting there!

He enjoys his daily exercise: massage after bath time, jumping on Mommy's tummy, and being swung about by Daddy.






Here's little sleepy head! He's out by 11:00-11:30 pm every night and usually wakes up at about 4:30-5:30 am for an early morning snack (milk only)! Then falls back to sleep till about 8:30 am for yet another morning snack. And continues his snoozing till about 10:00 am. What a life, eh!



Noah - at about one month - taking a walk with Mommy in South Park. We've made great use of the Bjorn carrier (a gift from the Meyers - thanks Erica and Joshua!). We always receive all kinds of comments from Bulgarian grandmothers, such as: "Is that comfortable for the baby?", "Is it safe for his backbone?", "Are small babies supposed to be sitting?" Interesting questions!

The sleeping angel. It only looks like he takes long naps - in reality they never last long enough! Agh! The life of a parent! I'm trying to enjoy every minute, even the tough moments, because this is probably our last baby!

Well, good-bye for now.
