Halloween Festivities

Happy Halloween! This past week, we did a lot to start getting ready for Halloween, we went to the pumpkin patch, got trick or treat decorations, painted pumpkins, and made Halloween cupcakes. Now since i have most of the pictures on my computer, i will put some up each day this week leading up to Noah's big trick or treating night. He is going to be Woody, from Toy Story, and he is so excited, he walks around saying, " Howdy partner". :)

KEYS Aug 2010 (FINALLY)

I was finally able to download my pictures from one of my cameras onto our computer, just not the one with all of Noah 2nd birthday pictures on it. SO needless to say, I will be posting a lot the next couple days! :) Here is when we went to the Keys with the Allen's and Granny.

This is why we call him a "monkey".

Noah loved the clams!

NOAH! We still need naps!

The time has come where Noah has been fighting me tooth and nail to take a nap! He will lay in his crib for an hour to an hour and a half and not fall asleep, and when the time has passed, its too late for him to fall asleep. We still need these naps, he is really cranky the next day, even though he goes to bed earlier than his bedtime, he is missing an extra 3 hours of sleep! While he is in his crib, he is standing playing with his fan switch turning it on and off watching it, and now he is trying to climb out!! YES i said it , climb out! Yesterday i walked into get him ( after not falling asleep) and both feet were off the great one leg was thrown over the crib. Luckily i walked in when i did, because on his crib or around it, there is nothing for him to put his leg on. So i think this week, i am going to try and transition him into his toddler bed. Not only to keep him safe from hurting himself but also to have him trained by the time the baby gets here. I will update on how crazy this adventure is going to be :)

Here is Noah through his video monitor staring at the fan while switching it on and off! Sorry about the very scary eyes ;)

New Scooter!

Nick, Noah and I were out and about running errands this morning, and Noah kept telling us he wanted a skate board! So we went to Toys' R Us and found him the safest closest thing to a skateboard... a scooter!!! The kid loves it! The age requirements is 3-5, but we knew he was tall enough for it, so we got the necessary safety precautions.. knee and elbow pads! :) He is actually really good at it as well, he balances great and knows how to use his feet to move! This is going to be by far his favorite toy for a while. It's crazy to think he is already 2, putting sentences together, almost fully potty trained, and riding BIG boy toys! It is insane how fast the past two years have gone. But we are ready to do it all over again with the second one, and Noah is ready to be a big brother and teach baby "b" everything it needs to know!

Imagination Station

Yesterday morning Kimber and I took Aubrien and Noah to a park called the Imagination Station. It is such a cool park, it is older and everything is wooden, it has a ton of different hiding spots, and a lot of fun things to climb on. Noah is no doubt a climber, he loves it, but thankfully he is still not climbing out of his crib yet! :) Any way it was a beautiful morning to be outside, it was very cool with shorts and long sleeves on, a refreshing change. At the Imagination Station, you are also able to feed the ducks. So Kimber brought a ton of old bread and cereal. Noah was a little scared of them because there were so many of them! All in all it was a fun experience and we will be taking Daddy this week!

Whoa Belly!

It has most definitely been a crazy week with Cody, Noah, a new puppy, and 5 classes! But we have had fun and it is preparing us for what is to come. This belly reassures me it is no doubt coming!

Next week I will only be 12 weeks, which I am learning with your second pregnancy, you tend to show faster. With Noah I didn't actually "pop" until 5 months! Just keeping everyone updated on this growing baby, next doctor appointment is Oct 26th!

10 Days!

Amie, Mike, and my parents drove to Pennsylvania a few days ago for my cousins wedding, and left all the kids home! Lucky them right!? :) So Nick and I are watching Cody for the days they are gone, and Lilli through this weekend. I guess you can say its giving me a dose of what may come?

Peek A Boo!!

For some reason every time we go outside this little boy intentionally falls into the bushes and lays down. Maybe he likes the way it feels? All I know is he looks super cute doing it!

Decorating

So I still don't have any updated pictures of our house, for it is still a work in progress, and my camera charger is packed somewhere and cannot find the box! :) But I did do a little project tonight. When we moved in the previous owners left a beat up old off white book case. Being that we painted the walls bright coastal beachy colors, i wanted to do something fun with the bookcase. It actually turned out really cute, and was free, what could be better?!
