2017 - Week 11

Week 11 - 3/13/17 - 3/19/17

8 Months old! He seems to grow and change with every passing day. He's pretty much mastered crawling backwards, and is soooooooo close to going forward. He stands next to things longer every day. He had FOUR new teeth pop through this month, all at the same time, which was fun. But that gives him a nice full mouth of 8 teeth now. He will eat pretty much anything and everything, but, unfortunately, that has been but on hold for the most part so that we can figure out this allergy thing. He's wearing 6-9 month clothes and Size 2 diapers, babbling the day away and loves to laugh. He's been sleeping a lot better this month, probably because all week long (while dad is at work) I've been sleeping on the couch giving up the bed to him. Spoiled! But, finally ordered Eliza a toddler bed, which should arrive today, sooooooo, we'll be giving the crib a shot pretty soon. His favorites haven't changed too much...the animals, his sisters, and non-stop attention. My boy!

Just watching his sisters fighting the night away. The usual.

Another week down. How does this keep happening?!

Noah sleeps away our trip to Target, while Eliza has to bring along her drawing to show everybody. LOL

Amelia doesn't always show much interest in the baby, but it's so cute when they actually play together.

Needed to get myself an updated photo.

Finally got a picture of those top teeth. Poor guy, so glad they're finally through.

Splashing away in the bath. He loves bathtime so much!

Look at this cute guy! I love his sweaty self cuddled up next to me.

It was picture day at daycare! LOOOOOOOOOOOK at him!

St. Patricks Day! We made a trip to the mall for some rides and some food.

Time for some more changes! Eliza is in her new toddler bed, and we moved Noah's crib into our room to start transitioning him. He's becoming way too mobile to be in our bed any longer, I'm so sad!

Cutest little Princess ever!

Dad helped her get dressed. Oy.

Heading on a family trip to the park!

Passed right out, chewing on a headband. The park is sure exhausting!

Until Next Week! XOXO

2017 - Week 10

2017, Week 10: 3/6/17 - 3/12/17

There's nothing like the calm, quiet house, with a full, sleeping baby on your lap. It's the perfect way to end every day.

One year ago we found out that Noah was a boy. His pregnancy was emotionally draining on me, and even after this I still had some coping to do - but, somehow, finding out that he was a boy, it made everything seem more clear.

He's completely taking over my bed.

He loves the animals so much.

Still working out those crawling skills. Getting closer every day!

Trying some motivation...

Noah has been unusually crabby lately. Today, I figured out why. He has FOUR new teeth coming in, all at the same time. 4 top to match the 4 he already has on the bottom. Hopefully they finish poking through REAL soon so he can start feeling better.

He gets around, even if crawling is still too confusing.

This one would still take a nap every day if she had it her way.

Until Next Week! XOXO

2017 - Week 9

Week 9: 2/27/17 - 3/5/17

I'd say this awesome playnest we got to keep little man contained and happy is no longer useful...

Spring Pictures. Oh man, the poses they have these kids do. Oy!

That's a Full Belly

The weeks go so fast!!

So, this morning I was feeding Noah before work, and it was a little dark in the room. I kept thinking his eyes looked red and swollen, turned on a light, and sure enough. It definitely wasn't pink eye, and I wasn't sure what to do. I took him to daycare per usual, and had them keep an eye on him. The teacher texted me after nap time, with picture number two, he had woken up worse. I left and took him to the doctor, and the were pretty convinced in was an allergic reaction. He'd had eggs and beans at dinner last night, but he had had both before, Eggs a few times. He instructed us to just cut out all food for a while, which was not going to fly. But, for now, we'll cut out eggs and bananas, possibly reintroduce in a couple weeks, and then talk to his doctor at his next check up. I swear, this boy, he's putting us through the ringer!

I hung the girls' new photos up at work. Look how much they've grown since their first "school pictures" at daycare. So crazy.

I chaperoned Amelia's field trip to the zoo today. Kids are seriously exhausting.

They weren't in the same group, but had to get a picture with her little best friend. Two peas in a pod!

Haha, she wanted a picture with him so bad.

Passing the time at Swim Class

Took Olivia out to spend her Chore Chart earnings. Amelia was too lazy to go to the store, so she gave her money to Olivia. I don't know what the heck I'm going to do with her.

Met my stepmom, stepsisters and a few of their kids for a birthday dinner for my Grandma today. It was so fun, and everybody finally got to meet Noah!

Coloring with Great-Grandma

Off to Disney on Ice with the girls and my mom. Lookit these princesses!

Eliza's first show, she was SOOOOO excited!

He's pretty much got crawling backwards down....

Until Next Week! XOXO
