TGIF

Yah! It is finally Friday and I'm so glad the weekend is here. I just hope Noah will see the end of his health issues soon. He had yet another puking incident today after Brent fed him some french fries... he had not eaten anything all day which should have been a clue.

Tonight Noah did two things that made Brent and I laugh. The first was after he had obviously made a big stink and we were debating how long to wait to change his diaper, he went over to where we change him downstairs by the diaper caddy and laid down... WHAT?? He then let me change him without protest. He has traditionally always put up a fight with diaper changes so who is this kid and what did they do with Noah? Soon after, we changed him into his PJ's around 6:30 and 7 is usually his bed time. But after I brought down his favorite blankie fresh from the dryer, he went to the stairs saying "nigh nigh"... he was asking to go to bed. I'll never argue with that request! :)

GOT IT!!!!

Just to let everyone know. I officially am a store manager again. I was promoted today to take over our Hillsboro store. It is kind of ironic as I was at the Hillsboro Sports Authority. We have been having a great week (other then the last few days of Noah puking. For know we have settled on a name for our baby as Avery Madison. Of course this could always change, but that is what it is right now. Love you all and cant wait to see everyone.

happy Birthday Dad.

Yes I actually work for a living. But I am not late. Thanks for being a wonderful father who has taught me a lot and a even better papa to Noah. We love you.

Brent, Buffy, Noah and TBA

P.S. We will have an announcement later today on the baby.

In to EVERYTHING

So I thought I better start blogging as Brent was nice enough to set up our very own little family one. This weekend was an interesting one to say the least. Noah woke up around 1:30 am on Sunday morning crying, agitated and having a tough time breathing. After about a 1/2 hour of trying to calm him down, we soon called the pediatrician on-call # and were told to take him in to the ER. They took a chest x-ray and determined he didn't have pneumonia but he was in respiratory distress so they did a breathing treatment and gave him steroids to help his lungs. He needed several more puffs of his inhaler they gave us for home in the next day and a half but he seems totally fine now thank goodness. Crazy how mild cold symptoms for a day could turn into that!

So as for the title of this post, I am referring to Noah of course. He really is a busy kid and literally into everything. He recently learned how to dock our iPhones and play music while dancing on the chair he pulled up to the counter to reach the dock. We have spent many a time now dancing to whatever is playing. As you will see in the attached photos, he also likes to climb into various places which is hugely entertaining to him. I am truly enjoying the time we spend together.

We have also recently begun a few regular outings including the Children's Museum and LA Fitness which has a very fun kiddo play area and babysitting. Unfortunately, this morning, he was not too thrilled about me going to exercise and I think we whined the entire time. Hopefully he gets more comfortable there as I plan to make it a regular thing at least through the duration of this pregnancy as running may soon not be a possibility. My sacroiliac joint gets pretty unstable thanks to prego hormones and can occasionally be quite painful.

Tonight Brent is doing his second overnighter in a row and is basically running on fumes as he tried to sleep this morning once he got home but couldn't get more than about 2 hours since there is a lot of construction going on outside our house. After 3 years, they are finally building on the two open lots next to us. At least it will hopefully be done by the time the baby comes.

Well, I need to catch some sleep as I don't function well without it unlike Brent who somehow does.
