What's Going on Around Here

Here is just a random blog of what has been going on around here.

*Noah has been a movin' and a groovin'. He has started crawling around more. He definitely does it more than Ava ever did. He hasn't started exploring all too much yet, but he will move out of sight and I know it is only a matter of time before he is off and on his own.

*Ava doesn't like that Noah moves around so much. She is always saying "mommy, Noah's coming to get my animals." (i.e her whimzy toy of the week).

*I think Noah is going to be an even more picky eater than Ava. (I know mom and dad, payback is a b!t@h)..He doesn't like new foods. I really have to do the try it a million times rule for him.  He makes a sourpuss face when he tries it. It is funny though because he is at that stage that he doesn't know how to spit it out, so he either gags on it or cries through eating it.

*Ava likes to eat Noah's baby food. The puffs, yogurt melts and Lil' munchers. We use it to get her to eat her food.

*Noah has been sleeping good. He sleeps through the night, which is all I ask.

*Ava had been doing well on sleeping at night except the past couple of nights she started waking up 1-3 times again.

*Noah has quite the personality. He always wakes up happy, which is the exact opposite of Ava. BUT, if you take something away from him, he gets M.A.D!!! Fists clenched and legs kicking and loud cry/scream. We have another feisty one on our hands!

*Ava likes to show off once she gets comfortable around people.

*We left the kids with Aunt Susan and Uncle Troy on Saturday so that Mike and I could go to a Baptism class. This is the first time we have ever left Noah with anyone other than my mom and the first time we have left Ava with anyone other than my mom since our nanny. Ava cried when we left, but was fine 5 minutes later. Noah was asleep, did good once he woke up, but refused to eat and then just started to cry and wouldn't stop, so Troy put him to bed and he fell right asleep. It was good for me to leave them, but hard at the same time.

*The other morning, Mike went to take the kids for a walk and there was a guy laying on the sidewalk in front of our neighbors house. He called the cops and they showed up 1 minute later. The cop told us that the house 2 doors down had a party the night before and that guy decided in his drunken stupor to sleep out there!?!?!

*When Ava sees something she likes, she now says " Mommy, I want that for Christmas." We even got a Toys 'R' Us catalog yesterday and she wanted everything!

*I have been trying lots of new recipes lately. I have loved most of them. I look forward to making them and eating them. Since I do Weight Watchers, I found a website that has all the points plus info, so it is great. It is skinnytaste.com

*I love when Ava self plays. She gets all dressed up. She is just like her mommy and loves new shoes. I bought her some gold sparkle sneakers from Carters the other day and she puts them on every opportunity that she gets. I would say 50% of the time she gets them on the right feet.

*Looking forward to Halloween, but not having all that candy right in front of my face. It will be a challenge. I am interested to see if Ava will wear her Halloween costume longer than 5 minutes and if she will actually go trick or treating. She knows that she will get candy, but she is all talk and no game!
