The bee card

Esther-here is the bee card I was telling you about. The picture doesn't really do it justice.

We had a fun day

Let it snow...

Holy snow!!! There is 10 inches and growing in the back yard. Spencer is very very grateful we bought a snow blower on clearance last year. This stuff is heavy!!. Noah does not like the snow. I am still convinced that some how he thinks he his personally responsible. No matter how much I try to tell him other wise...he knows someone is in trouble for the mess. He is so funny!

Two teeth...what else is coming?

So, Noah now has two teeth. Not one-two. The bottom two center teeth. He is very proud of them. If you stick your finger in his mouth....he shows you they are there by biting very hard on them!! ( I have to say though...if you are sticking your dirty fingers in my mouth, I am going to bite you too!!) This would explain why he has been very fussy and drooly.

He has also become very proficient at rolling over. He can roll from his stomach to his back-and then back to his stomach. He has also discovered the crawling position. He gets up on his knees and bounces back and forth. It is only a matter of time before he becomes mobile. I am awed an amazed at how quickly he grows! I wish he would stop...but then I realize this is selfish and not going to happen. I am curious to see the little boy he is growing up so quickly to become.

Noah...mamma loves you!!

projectile vomiting

So, I have a new found respect for mothers. Noah is projectile vomiting....his target-me. My cute little dinosaur is not feeling very good and keeps tossing his cookies. I just happen to be holding him when he does!! Ewww. Mom, I am sorry for all of the times I puked on you or you had to clean up my puke, or talk about puke. So for now, I will change my clothes, change my baby and wait until the next episode. I hope he gets feeling better soon.

On a side note, Noah Balboa is a rolling machine! He can roll from his back to his belly and his belly to his back. He is very fond of his floor mat right now and flips himself for one direction to the other depending on what he feels like playing with. I didn't realize he would become so agile so quickly. The next thing I know he will be running a football to the end zone....Touchdown!!

Noahsaurus Rex

Today Noah was soooo grumpy!! He was just really tired and kept roaring like a little dinosaur. I didn't feel fabulous, so we made a bottle, got comfortable and took a three hour nap. When we woke up he was back to his normal hilarious self. He saw snow for the first time today. He is not quite sure what to think about it. He just looks and me and then looks and the snow and has quite a look of concern. Don't worry Noah....momma knows you didn't do it!

oh my heavens

Oh my heavens....I made a card. Do not be alarmed. The universe is still rotating on its axis. Esther and played with her copic markers, as you can tell from the pictures. Oh, and I thought while I was at it I would post a picture of Balboa's book. I added the "N" to a corduroy 8'x8' album. It was very fun to actually put something together-and yes there is writing in it!!

We did a very funny project. We took a stamped image from her box of unfinished "finished" stamp images and together made a card. It went from a horizontal card to a vertical card. It ended up with and extra element to cover up a stamping mistake and the card stock is grey, but by the time we were done it looked brown. It was fun...although the card is a little special ed.

Time-stop!

I wish that you could stop time and live in one moment, or a series of moments, for as long as you decided to. I don't want Noah to grow up!! I want to stop time and keep him little. His first tooth came in on Wednesday, and all I can think is "He's growing up too quickly". So I want to just live in this moment until I am ready to let him get big.

Time goes too quickly.

My Sweet Husband

With Thanksgiving, it makes one stop and appreciate the blessings in your life. One of the best blessings I have is my sweet husband. I can't imagine raising our son without him. He is a fabulous daddy, a wonderful husband and my best friend. I love you Spencer!

I accomplished something

So, last night, I got bit by the "complete something" bug. Mom and I had finished Noah's scrapbook, but I hadn't put it in a book yet....so I did. A few hours later, Noah's book is actually in a book!! It is really cute. I will have to post a picture.

Noah in his jumperoo

Noah just turned 5 months old. He loves his jumperoo....here is a recent picture. Yes, he is also teething and is always drooling!

Well...here I am

It is official. I now have a blog. Maybe this will inspire me to actually finish some of my projects and post them on here. PS-hi Esther. :0)
