So far--so good.

I decided it was time to get back into shape.  And this time for good!  No more excuses--no more I'll start next week..It is time and I WILL do it!
Started yesterday.  Ate really good!  Then did some of the Kinect UFC trainer and went for a walk.  OH...ate really good (like I said) and only had 2 glasses of wine. 
Today...I am sore --so that is a good sign!  So, I plan on doing the same today.  It takes one month to start a new habit..so bring it on!

Christmas was so much fun this year.  Noah is just so much fun right now.  He is running all over the place.  Climbing everything and he talks to much.  I mean, we have no idea what he is saying.  But,he has words for Pancho and outside and milk and bath and whatever....he is LOUD too.  I wonder where he gets that from. 
His new thing is jumping.  He loves to jump.  He gives kisses to every thing--loves to kiss Pancho and any other stuffed animal.  His kisses consist of....mmmmmm ahhhhh. He finally started to actually kiss though with puckered lips.  He has started this funny thing with grabbing my face and kissing me over and over again.  It is too funny!  He also is obsessed with the fridge and outside.  Do not open the door to either if you aren't prepared for a new game of....trying to keep him out of it.  The fridge..he likes to sit on the bottom of it.  Take all the salad dressing out and put it back on the shelf.  And once he is outside...you are not getting him back in without him throwing a fit..He just loves being outside. 
Starr and the kiddos have been here the whole break.  Noah loves to play with them so much.  Jacob and him are like best buds..at least in Noah's eyes.  Starr and I are having fun too.  Aaron works so much...so it is so nice to have someone here after I get off work.
This is my 2nd dog.  He barks for Pancho ALL THE TIME!!!

He says:
Happy-means puppy
Mommy - means Mommy
doooaah- means jump
and a bunch of other stuff we haven't figured out yet.  He talks ALL the time!



This was Noah's present from Santa this year:


The child loves to dance. Looks like he has my dance style...

Life is amazing with Noah.  I don't know what our life would be like without him.  I know I haven't blogged in forever.  So, I will just start with where we are now.  --December 1st I decided to have Noah go cold turkey from the paci.  He fussed for a day or so..but we are now done with no paci.  He really only used it at night, naps and sometimes in the car.  Now, he is paci free.  It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. 

He is getting 2 molars though.  The poor baby just seems so miserable somedays.  We use the Hylands teething tablets though.  That is a godsend!

My job is good.  I really wish I could just be with Noah every day and do the stay at home mom stuff.  He has an awesome nanny though.  We are so blessed to have Amber in our lives.  He loves her and squeels and laughs all day long.  

Noah started going to the Little Gym on Saturdays.  It is too cute to see him rolling around and playing with other kiddos.  This weekend is the first weekend Aaron will be able to go..so I will get some pictures. 

I will work on blogging more regularlly....This catches us up a little here. :)  

coming up slowly on a year....

Pancho Diva is turning 3 on Saturday.  She is a great dog with Noah.  We couldn't be luckier. 

Bathtime is the best time ever.  This kid is a fish. 

We love going for walks and playing at the park.  When it isn't 100 degrees.  So we have gone like 2 times this summer. 

Getting into EVERYTHING!  I swear nothing is sacred anymore.

My little man is coming up on one year...I can not believe how fast a year goes.  He is a great army crawler.  And getting into everything.  I mean EVERYTHING!!!!!  The little dude scales everything and tries to stand--I don't know how I don't weigh 100 pounds...I am never sitting down anymore.  LOL! 
The summer is flyng by.  I can't wait for it to be over.  I am soooo tired of sweating!!!  We have had 19 days in a row of 100+ degrees.
