We carried out NIR Photometry of the QSO B2 1732+38A also known as CGRaBS J1734+3857 and BZQ J1734+3857, and found that on July 1st 2011 (JD 5743.947095) the object was brighter (H = 15.08 +/- 0.07) than our previous determination on JD 5360.891620 when it had a flux corresponding to H = 16.28 +/- 0.09. That is a significant flux increase in this time lapse. Observations were carried out with the 2.1m telescope of the Guillermo Haro Observatory operated by the National Institute for Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics (Mexico), equipped with the instrument CANICA a NIR camera. We encourage further multi wavelength coverage.
