We got an opportunity to babysit a 6 week old. Noah is the newest addition to the family out our church. Elli asked us if we would babysit so that she could go back and work this week. We got him for just one day. So it gave us an opportunity to be with a newborn. Noah was an easy baby but we could not keep him awake. Every time we tried to feed him he would fall asleep after an ounce of milk. We did learn a few things:
- Warming milk times
- Changing diapers
- Handling boo-boos
- Burping
- Putting him in the Car seat
- Packing a bag
- how long a bottle should be used
- Schedules
- an how hard it is to get anything done with a baby around
- Our house is not baby friendly lots of work to do
Jill's thoughts: Getting to take care of Noah has been great for us. Noah is the precious baby of our friends Ellie and Aaron, and he will be about 4 1/2 months old when Ben is born. So we get a little practice before the real thing! Ellie and I plan on Ben and Noah being best friends!
I can't beleive how long it's been since either one of us has spent much time with a new born. But it's been a lot of fun. My favorite part is seeing Hector interact with Noah. He's going to be a great dad. He's incredible with kids.
