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.

Elaina started ballet class yesterday and loved it! I was so glad. She is the youngest in the group so I was a little worried that she wouldnt follow along but she did. Here she is following along with her teacher.

I dont have much up on the walls yet, so I will post again when its totally done, but here it is so far.
Busy week!
Well, on Monday Andrew had his first day of preschool. Well not the first day ever - he went last year too- but that was the first day this year. He loves school. Barely even glanced back as he said good bye. Tomorrow is Elaina's first ballet class. She is so excited. I bought her the Nutcracker on DVD and she watches it and "dances" around. Its really cute. This weekend we have Liam's baptism. Next week Andrew starts soccer, and then the following weekend we have Elaina's birthday party on Saturday (A Little Mermaid pool party) and that Sunday is her actual birthday and we are going to the Magic Kingdom for lunch at the castle with the princesses, and will stay the afternoon and see fireworks at night.
So a busy time right now, but far preferable to sitting home all summer!!! I do much better with a lot going on. I managed to sneak out tonight for a quick pedicure. I hadnt had one since my due date!
Here is a quick shot of the Noodle from yesterday... he is growing so quickly. He weighs 17 pounds and laughs and coos and giggles all the time. He is so sweet.
Redecorating!
Monday, August 13, 2007
Well we recently put Elaina into a toddler bed, after she flipped out of her crib and ended up with a black eye. But the toddler bed we have is pretty crappy, and I sold her crib and dresser on Craigslist... so it was time. I went and ordered a twin bed and a dresser for her - real furniture she can have till she goes away to college. Its an off white. I also went to Pottery Barn Kids, aka Poverty Barn Kids and got her new bedding. Its all pink and green, which are the current colors of her room, but these are much softer shades. I think I am going to paint the room sage green. I will be sure to post some before and after pictures after I am all done. I have to admit I have been really looking forward to decorating her "big girl" room ... and since she is out of the crib and potty trained, its time! Her third birthday is in just a few weeks. I am taking her out to a park this weekend to do her 3 year old portraits, so I will be sure to put some up of those as well.
Our Little Mermaid

Elaina went to a friends house yesterday to play and found an Ariel costume there... and refused to take it off, so we borrowed it. Apparently it was all too much excitement because later she passed out on her chair. John said is looked like she was out partying on prom night and passed out.
