2017 - Week 5

Week 5, 1/30/17 - 2/5/17

My cousin posted some old pictures, and I thought this one was crazy. I look so much like Eliza, I just love it!

Trying new foods ever day. Tonight, he went to town on some spaghetti!

He woke up early today, while I was still getting ready for work. So I woke Olivia up a tad early to give him a bottle. She seriously saves my life - every baby should come with an 8 year old!

Hanging at Gymnastics. Just bring a notebook and some coloring utensils and she's set!

The kiddos sported their red for "Wear Red for Women" day. Gotta show their mama some love!

Wearing my red!

I love his little snuggles!

Noah just loves to mess with Chuy. Thankfully, Chuy is pretty patient with him.

Amelia usually hangs out in her own world, but tonight she was all about Noah. He's been wanting to stand up more and more.

Braids galore today! My fingers were tired!

My little handsome face!

Until Next Week! XOXO

2017 - Week 4

Week 4 - 1/23/17 - 1/29/17

Noah and Eliza just started taking baths together. Now, this photo popped into my timeline. The deja vu is crazy!

Hair down and make up on, for a change. Had to document it! (and, of course, black and white is always most flattering)

Another week down!

Amelia's Half Birthday!!! I can't believe it, halfway to 7!

Field Trip Day with Olivia's class. Chaperoning a group of 2nd grade girls around the Science Museum, and my allergies were out of control. It was a LONG day!

Now that Noah is sitting up pretty well on his own, we can load up some toys and he entertains himself at gymnastics! I'm guessing this won't work so well when he starts crawling.

Trying eggs! This boy loves to eat!

I'm in a SUPER awesome mom group for Noah's birth month, and we have our own logo! I was sporting my shirt today!

 

Mr. Handsome. I just wanna squeeze him!

Until Next Week! XOXO

2017 - Week 3

Week 3 - 1/16/17 - 1/22/17

This week was basically the week from hell in our house. This winter's awful stomach bug hit our house, and it was terrible. I was first...and with just being back at work, I couldn't really take time off. I had the worst of it over the weekend, thankfully. Eliza threw up at daycare Tuesday, Amelia at school Wednesday, Olivia at school Thursday, and then Christian didn't feel too hot this coming weekend. THANK GOD, it seemed to have passed by Noah, I think that would've been the end of us.

Olivia came with me to take Noah in for his check up. He packed on 2lbs this month!!!! So he's up to 35% for weight. Crazy!

Another Week Older!

I snapped a picture of Olivia at her concert, just before the most awful experience of our life. As soon as she took the stage we could tell something wasn't right, but hoped she was just nervous (she had a speaking part during the concert). Then, she started coughing, and looking sick. And, then the unthinkable...she threw up, right on stage, in front of everybody. My heart sank. I ran up and grabbed her and brought her into the hallway. She was more upset about missing her part than anything, but man, I felt so terrible. Poor thing.

We got Noah a new toy - it's awesome! He can sit up, play and stays nice and contained.

Trying out some frozen fruit in these awesome silicone feeders that I found. He loved it!

Thankfully everybody was feeling better, because the big girls were back in swim class!

Took m big girls shopping with me while Amelia went on a playdate. She gets so jealous when Amelia gets to go to a friends house, it makes me feel so guilty.

Puppy Love!

Eliza wanted to take a bath with Noah today.

Got a late Christmas gift from Christian's best friend, Lorenzo. LOVE!!!

Until Next Week! XOXO

2017 - Week 2

Week 2 - 1/9/17 - 1/1/15/17

This week brought my last couple of days at home on maternity leave task 2, and my return to work. It was no easier leaving Noah, again, maybe even harder. So unfair!

The energizer bunny is always at her cutest when she's passed out! She decided to sneak a nap in Olivia's bed today

May last day home with this guy. He is really loving food!

This was circulating around facebook...a pregnancy photo, a newly born photo and a "now" photo. Of course I had to do one with each of the kiddos.

Not looking forward to leaving this guy.

Another new stress...our cat, Chloe, seems to be getting ill. She's losing weight like crazy, and has a lump on her throat that keeps getting bigger. There's not much that we can do, financially, so thankfully she's still eating and drinking water and playful, so whatever is going on doesn't seem to be causing too much harm. Our first baby, it's so hard to think of something happening.

As he turned 26 weeks, I was on my way back to work. No fun!

Half a year. He's a whole half a year already. That's a lot of hugs and kisses and love right there! He's suddenly packing on the pounds big time...most likely due to his reflux starting to go away. We did also start solids last week, and he's doing SO well. He's had sweet potatoes, carrots, green beans, peaches, bananas and pears, and he gobbles it right up! He is finally starting to sleep better (but, we're almost exclusively co-sleeping now, so I think thats a big reason why) and he's happier and happier every day. I'm getting my happy baby back!! He's sitting longer every day, he's rolling like a champ and you can tell he wants to crawl SOOOOOO bad, but he just hasn't put all of the movements together yet. He's in 3-6 month clothes and Size 2 diapers, his favorite things are his sisters, the animals, the jumper and balloons. And, ya'll, he can put his pacifier in his mouth on his own. Now that my friends, is amazing! 

With our Vikes out of the running, we supported a friend in today's football game. Unfortunately for her, we seem to be bad luck. Oops.

He loves the animals so much. He'd sit there and pet the cat all day long if Rico let him.

Olivia and Amelia decided Noah needed some girlfriends, LOL

Until Next Week! XOXO
