2016 - Week 50

Week 50, 12/5/16 - 12/11/16

This one got in some morning snuggles before school...

...while this one showed Noah how awesome her Jack-in-the-Box is.

Look at that sweet face!!!

We're working on those sitting skills over here!

Poor Guy - I feel your pain little man. Some days sure are rough!

Another week down! I can't believe I'll be back at work...again...in about a month!

So, I've been battling a terrible cough and just feeling absolutely terrible for about 3 weeks. I FINALLY went to the doctor today (even though I thought about canceling at the last minute) and turns out, I have pneumonia! Good Lord. What next?! Apparently once you get it, you're more susceptible to getting it in the future, so that's fun. Finally on lots of med's though, so fingers crossed!

He loves this little chair. He's getting so big!

He'll eat everything. I think he still thinks he can milk out of anybody/thing.

We gave the kids their 2016 ornaments today and had them hang them up.

I had Olivia "watch" the baby while I did some stuff in the kitchen. She babysits like her dad...put him in his chair and load him up with toys and distractions. Oy!

On this day, I was supposed to be wrapping presents. This guy was NOT having it.

Until Next Week! XOXO

2016 - Week 49

Week 49, 11/28/16 - 12/4/16

Not only did Monday mark the start of my 6-week paid parental leave, we also decorated the Christmas tree!! Well, I pretty much watched from the couch, while nursing Noah and trying to finish up our "year in review" photobook so that I could take advantage of the Cyber Monday sales. The girls actually pretty much decorated the entire thing on their own! They are getting too big.

This was my view all night!

LOOOOVE It! It's so perfect.

He wasn't the happiest of campers. Poor guy.

Amelia read to baby tonight.

 

Another week bites the dust! 

After dropping the girls off at school/daycare, I came home to find these two passed out. Those all-nighters are tough! At least one of them has an excuse....the other just refuses to sleep. When does mama get to catch up on her zzzzzzzzz's?!

Got our Santa Session photos today. So cute! I'm kicking myself for not getting a photo of Noah by himself.

This is how excited he is every night when we try to herd the girls into bed.

This happy guy (momentarily anyway). Just hanging out at Target, let the good times roll! 

Well, it's official. I know why he was so extra fussy the last few days, and a bit happier today. His first tooth has popped through!!! WHAT! He's not even 5 months old yet. There's no need for teeth!!!

We got some new Stockings this year. Matching ones. Everybody seems so perplexed by the letters, like it was supposed to spell something. I thought it would be obvious it was our names!

Eliza was showing Noah the Jack-in-the-Box. She seriously loves this thing.

Another official...he's outgrown his rock and play (he's so long!). We don't have a crib for him (or a room for that matter), so we're trying out the pack and play for now.

 

We attended a formal anniversary dinner for my aunt and uncle on Sunday. We got there only to find out Christian had left Noah's pacifier at home. I thought we were doomed...but, I put my "shusher" app on, and he was out like a light! Whew!

He's getting better at tummy time...Olivia was helping keep him entertained and cooperative for a while!

Until Next Week! XOXO
