Our noodle was 6 months old yesterday. I cant believe how fast time is going. Its bittersweet. He is already crawling (army crawling) and has two teeth.
good stuff and bad stuff

The bad first - my laptop is broken! I am so sad. Luckily it is under warranty but still. It will probably be weeks before I have it back. The plastic around the monitor is cracked and you cant really open or close it without cracking it more. So sad. I know I am addicted because I have this constant low-level anxiety knowing I dont have it. LOL
The good news though is that Andrew is on a dairy-free diet and doing AWESOME. Very very few tantrums and freak-outs. Now I am actually thinking that this has less to do with dairy than it does with no junk and crap but either way, he is a delight to be with these days. I am just loving it. I actually enjoy having him around and having conversations with him. Sad to say, but I havent felt that way in a long time. It is hard when you feel like you are on eggshells with your child. Every time he would drop something or something wouldnt work the way he wanted I would just cringe, waiting for the screaming to start. Its been night and day the last 2 weeks and I LOVE IT.
Mom, can you ...

I remember vividly the days when Andrew had no words at all and how worried we were, so because of that I try to never think "JUST BE QUIET" ... but I confess that sometimes I just cant help it. Now its Elaina that just wont stop talking for 2 seconds. Mom can I..Mom can you...can you...can you...
No. No I cant. I just sat down after fulfilling your 29834th request of the day. So no.
Anyway, I do need to get Elaina's 3 yr and Andrew's 5 yr pictures done. I am so late. What is that saying about the shoemakers children not having any shoes? Well I will post them when I get them done...eventually.
I know I know!

I havent posted in forever. I know. Its been so busy and crazy and once a few days goes by I fel like there is too much to write! I still have to get pictures from Elaina's birthday up. Andrew turned 5 this week. Today is his birthday party which is at Orlando Gymnastics. We are also starting a dairy free diet for him, as per his allergist. He isnt allergic per se but we think he may be sensitive to dairy. So we are doing a 30 day diet and will reintroduce it in a month and see what happens. Either way, we are totally cutting out all junk food and I already see a difference.
In other news, last weekend we went to the La Leche League parenting conference in Cocoa Beach. It was fun - lots of parenting seminars and we stayed in a hotel on the beach. The kids were jazzed because the hotel room had bunk beds. Its called a Kid Suite and the bunk beds are partitioned off. Here are a few pics from that and I will get more up this weekend!
Oh, I almost forgot - Liam has two brand new sparkly white TEETH!!! They are adorable but I do have to say that he bit me twice and mama wasnt happy. Hopefully he figured that out from my screams and wont do it again.
4 months old
Tuesday, September 11, 2007
Well today the Noodle is 4 months old. I dont know where the time went - I feel like he was just born yesterday. It is kind of scary how fast time can go by. Tonight he gave us a little birthday present - after trying repeatedly to get him to sleep I gave up and brought him out to the family room where he was cracking up. It was so adorable to see him laughing so much. He is so sweet.
He also had his four month appointment today. He is 17 lbs 8 oz and is 27" long. His infant carseat only goes up to 26" or 20 lbs so we put him into the big carseat, which is fine because the carrier was getting too heavy anyway.
I know I still have to get pics of of Elaina's birthday and I will do some pics this week.
