Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning at our house! Noah was excited to see the presents but was a little iffy of opening them, he ended up opening half of one all day :) But he loved everything he got!

After opening present we went to Granny's house for brunch and opening presents. After brunch we went up to Auntie Amie and Uncle Mikes house for Christmas dinner and more present opening for the kids! :) It was a busy day but such a fun and exciting Christmas!! :) Next year I'm sure Noah will be a little more interested!

This is Amanda and Jon's baby Ansley, Noah loves looking at her pictures on the blog, but in person is a different story :) So we were finally able to get Noah around Ansley and Amanda got the picture! One day they will be best friends!! :)

Christmas Pictures!

Today we went to the beach to take family Christmas pictures, Noah loved the beach and loved looking at all the birds. He kept trying to run into the water! :) Also on Sunday night we went to Amie and Mike's to do the kids Christmas pictures the two babies were Santa, and the three big kids wore Santa hats, and we took them in front of the gingerbread house! They turned out so cute!

Oh Christmas Tree!!

We are so excited this year for Christmas, Noah will kinda understand whats going on, well as far as gifts go. :) He loves our Christmas tree and he kinda helped me decorate, he played with the lights. :)

Offically a Big Boy!

About a month and half ago i started weaning Noah off of his bottle, he doesn't have a paci or anything, so his bottle was his comfort. I thought it was going to be really hard to take him off but about a week to a week and a half ago he stopped completely taking it. He hasn't seemed to be bothered by it, Cody's bottle has even been around and he just feeds it to Cody! :) We got him big boy sippy cups that he loves, So no more baby boy! :( I took him to the doctor and he is 22 pounds and he's 33in tall, his height is in the 95th percentile, just to think he was this small.....
It's crazy to see how much he has changed, just by even his looks, this was the first day home from the hospital..

Mom's Art Show

This weekend my mom entered into an arts and crafts show, by far she had the best booth. She just started painting 3 months ago and her stuff is amazing, and everyone thought she should continue with her work. We are making her an etsy's account in which will be posted on by blog and also Amie and Kelly's facebook. She did very very well, and is so happy, and we are all so very proud of our Mom! :)

In all honesty the pictures just do not do her work any justice, she hand made everything, from the antique prism ornaments to the arrangements!

New Crayons and New Boots...

It's been a while since we've posted anything, end of semesters so lots of assignments and finals to study for, on top of it working a lot and raising a 16 month old! :) We bought Noah these crayons that are designated for the bath tub, since he loves his bath time so much, we thought it would be fun for him....We were right, he loves the crayons he laughs and screams as he is drawing! But by the end of bath time, I kid you not the entire tub, from all four sides to the tiles to the bottom was covered in scribbles of red and blue!

We also found him the cutest cowboy boots, I remember when my brother Jacob and I were younger, Jacob was probably around Noahs age, he ALWAYS wore his cowboy boots and he looked so cute in them . No matter what we were doing or what he was or was not wearing, :) he had to have them on. Noah is just like Uncle Jacob!

Baby and Toddler.... Hmmm....

So I have learned what it is like to have a baby and toddler together.. TIRING! But sooo much fun! Cody and Lilli spent the night on thursday night, while Amie and Kelly did the black friday shopping. They started on thursday night and didn't get done until noon the next day, with no sleep. we all ended up painting their massive wooden gingerbread house!

Noah loves figuring out hot to click straps together!

Noah now loves his Cody, he is even sharing his sippy cup with him! Noah was even patting Cody's leg and holding his hand. :)

A little Jealous still Noah? Dont worry Cody wasnt in it! :)

Cody and Uncle Nick are playing here, Cody loves his Uncle Nick, he was the first person Cody smiled at!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

For Thanksgiving we went to my mom and dad's house for dinner, then after went to Aunt Amy and Uncle Chris's for dessert! Very busy day.. While at my moms house the girls were making dinner, expect me, i chose baby duty! :) The guys on the other hand.... decided to hangout outside all day and make a huge "gingerbread house" out of wood for Amie and Mike's Christmas decorating.... They have 11,000 lights!! They really go all out!:)

Hello Cody Andrew!!

This is dried corn, Noah believed it was real and took a huge chunk out of it!:)

Weekend Fun!

This weekend Lilli spent the entire weekend with us, and Noah was in heaven! He loves his Lilli!! One of the nights Toby was here as well, and we went to the park, did some, shopping, and Toby's favorite, playing the Wii. In the midst of all the fun with Lilli and Toby, Mr. Noah definitely needed a nap. :) To go to sleep he must have his three items; cuddly blanket, beanie puppy, and his woof puppy which is half a small blanket with a doggie head attached.

Noah loves Popsicles because the cold feels so good on his little teeth coming in.. Of course he wanted to hold the Popsicle and he actually did a great job, no mess!

Noah wants to be just like Daddy and play Halo.... OH BOY!

Do we have a future gymnast on out hands?!?!?!While doing this he lifts one leg off the ground! Silly boy! :)

Sleep Over!

So Nick and I decided to have Lilli and Toby over tonight to spend the night, Lilli is going to spend the weekend with us until Saturday, because Nick and I have a work meeting at 7:45 Sunday morning!!! BOOO!!! This is the kids in the car on the way home from Publix...

While I was making dinner, the kids wanted to mock Daddy/Uncle Nick they were all laughing pretty hard.....

After dinner, I made the mistake of giving the kids or at least mine, :0 Capri Sun before bedtime... once watching this long video, you will see the crazy kids long night to the chicken dance!!

Finally, they calmed down and all fell asleep watching the new movie Nick and I bought, "Up"...

All in all we had such a fun night, it is so nice having the kids together, and with Noah getting older he is actually able to play with them rather than just watch them. I can't wait for Ansley and Cody to get bigger, since they are all so close in age, it will be so fun!

Sick little boy..

Yesterday Noah woke up with a little stuffy nose, and he had been pulling on his ear, which i thought it was because of his teething. So this morning when he woke up the congestion was worse, and he was really unhappy and cranky, so we took him to the doctor and the poor little boy has an ear infection in his left ear, and hes wheezing a little so we have to do a nebulizer treatment twice a day.. Noah all tuckered out from the doctor and not feeling well......

Bryan Graduation

This weekend Bryan graduated from the police academy. We drove down to Davie to watch him graduate and actually now become an adult! :) He was elected class president, and had to give a speech for the ceremony.This week he will start working in Boca, how exciting!! Everyone was so proud of him!

New Tooth..

Noah's 9th tooth is coming in, and the other 8 were no problem. But this 9th one is a molar and he is having a hard time with it, he hasn't been the happiest of babies! :) So ive been giving him as many frozen teething rings as i can, and this thing he is chewing on is a mesh bag with a handle attached. Inside is frozen strawberries, he loves it because un like a normal teether, hes able to chomp down on the bag in the back of his mouth. It's just a bit messy! And i think a little sour :)

Little Artist

On Sunday Nick, myself, Brittany, and Bryan went to Ikea to get new furniture for Britt and Bry's new house. Nick and I have been looking for an easel for Noah for a few months now and we finally found one! It has a chalk board, a white board, and a roll of paper on it. He really likes it, the marker though is a little nerve racking! :)

On Saturday night I came home from work and my wonderful husband had bought me roses! How pretty!!! :)
