[.Happy 8 Months Noah Bean!.]

So today my love is 8 months. 4 short months until his First Birthday! Time to really start thinking about that. Not much to write today. Daddy is off today so that is a nice surprise. We tried switching Bean to the CVS version of Gentelease & it was a big fail. I should've known something 10.00 cheaper was too good to be true. Ever since the switch he gets very cranky & needs a nap around 5 like clockwork & also back to spitting up when for awhile I didn't even need to burp him with a cloth. Could be a change, but the timing is dead on with the formula switch. I got myself some new clothes & very excited to be going on a date sans my bubba on Saturday, though as luck has it snow is in the cards so who knows if we will get to go. This is not the backround I was hoping to have but the one I wanted wasn't working so it will do for now. I changed my screen name to something new like 10 years later. There is a whole new theme I am starting for bean-Pirates/Sailboats. There is a lot out there for it & I am excited to see him in some new outfits! Ok time to enjoy the day with my boys!

[.Darling, Save the Last Dance for me.]

Above is the outfit I was talking about. Happy I was able to get some good pictures of him in it. Since I last wrote, John & Aubrey came over last week for games & good convo, then Saturday I met up with Danielle for Sushi & Shopping, we had our International Party & everyone raved over the stuffed peppers & Sunday I went over to Jessica's to exchange presents for our boys & get some of Tyler's hand me down's. I must confess, I haven't been online the last few days because I got sucked into a series (Queer as Folk) that I quickly became obsessed with. Sadly I only have 6 more of Season 4 & then 12 of Season 5 & it will be over. I will be lost without it! Pathetic I know. Lamb Chop Reduction was a fat fail. Every bite I took I ended up with a mouth full of Rosemary-Bllah. Tomorrow I meet up with Danielle again for lunch & shopping. We are trying to keep our weekly visits up. Really hoping the weather is in our favor next week for our big date night to NY. I got a new shirt to wear, probably will get my haircut & just excited to look & feel good. I haven't had a reason to dress up in way too long. If for some reason NY falls through as long as weather allows, my mom will still spend the night & then just Steve & I will go out. Ta for now!

[.Some kind of Wonderful.]

I want to eat you up! You are sooooo stinken cute, I can't take it. Right now he is talking & playing just putting a smile on my face. He loves his homemade ball pit lets just see how long until Pancakes puts a hole in the netting of the pack & play because he wants to get to it! Yesterday was one year since I found out there was a baby Noah in my belly. American Idol started up again. I remember everyone at work joking that I couldn't go in to Labor until the results were in & winner was announced (which they do in May) There is a lot of movies coming out for Valentine's Day that I want to see-Dear John, that is interesting to me because the lead character is named Savannah which is the name we had picked out for a girl & the creator of the movie also made Notebook which lead character was Noah! So this guy has great taste in names I guess! Anyway, I also want to see Leap Year, When in Rome, Valentine's Day & I think I am forgetting another one. Tomorrow John & Aubrey are coming over & Saturday I am having lunch & shopping with Danielle & Noah. I have coupons for ON & BRU to use & it is going to be for Pj's for Bean! I wonder how long he is because his toes are actually already tight on some 0-3 jammies so it seems like he may start breezing through clothes. I am going to put him in this one outfit that never fit him in the summer just so I have a picture of him in it because it would fit him now. I am pretty sure for First Birthday we are going to have it @ my Aunt's who has a beautiful backyard & underground pool. We offered to pay for food but she & my dad are all about making some for us & I will pick out the decorations because I already know what theme I want. Steve & I are still *hoping* to make Niagara Falls for our Anniversary-we almost reached our first "married milestone" of 5 years. Anyways, tonight I am attempting Lamb Chops with a Balsamic Reduction which I never tried before, hope to come back to report success!

[.Rosy Cheeks.]



So since my last post Noah has started sitting unassisted. He has been doing it for a few weeks but now it is for long periods at a time so that has been exciting. I will still give it some time before putting him in a shopping cart or high chair. Steve has had a nice break from work with early day Friday & Today with having the weekend off as well. Saturday we went shopping to get Noah more clothes since he will be fitting in 3-6 months clothes soon & most of what we had from the shower is warm weather clothes because everyone assumed he would fit in them in the normal age bracket. We had Red Robin for lunch & Steve dropped me off at Liquid to have Martini's with Danielle. We had a blast. I went to 3 places to find balls to make a ball pit out of our pack & play with no success but today a costumer gave Steve two bags (probably like 100 balls) because her daughter got it for Christmas & was scared of it & her dog popped her pit. How cool is that? They are in the dishwasher now. Awesome timing. A lot of girls on the Bump are doing this 365 day Challenge of taking & posting a picture a day of their child so I decided I would do one starting on Noah's First Birthday-Second Birthday. I will be a little behind everyone else but I like that it will start Birthday-Birthday rather than a random time. Ok, time to cook up some Savory Chicken & Chicken Noodle is on the menu for Bean tonight!
