Wow, sorry guys, it has been awhile since I last posted anything on this blog. I was busy getting things done for Heather's wedding, like pedicure, eyebrows waxed, etc. Her wedding was on Saturday (may 28th) It was great! Great food, great family and great entertainment. A very tiring day. but well worth it.
What else have I been up to? Nothing much. Patiently waiting for someone to call back to fix our pool. Nothing major, just a leak in one part of the pipes. It will be fixed in one day, phew, thank goodness cause it is freakin' hot out there right now.
Noah is getting so big and maturing way too fast for my liking,lol. But that is good. I think he is getting some teeth cause he is very clinging and crabby as heck. We got to the dr. tonight so hopefully he will be "yes there are teeth right there that just need to pop through".
Oh Rihanna is next week. So excited for that! I can't wait of course being my fav. singer and all!!! jackie, i am telling you, you should have come lol!!
Other than that I really having nothing much to write, but didn't want my readers/fans (lol) to loose interest.
Enjoy the weather everyone!!

And the Adventures Continue!
Today Noah and I went to Toronto to meet Heather for lunch. Everyone was so polite on the train (except two ladies who wouldn't get off their seats in the "accessible" car of the train and head upstairs to where there were more seats for them). When we got to Toronto, I was shocked at how many people offered to help me without me even asking. It's so reassuring that there are still some good people out there.
We finally met up with Heather and went to a Greek place to eat. All the waiters and host and maybe the owner (I think he was) came up to us and said "what a well behaved baby you have". It's funny. Every where I go I always get comments about how good Noah is. I shouldn't be surprised, lol. I don't mean that in a conceded way. Every one was shocked that I could get through a meal without having to entertain Noah (that's what Auntie's are for, lol). But he was just happy being in his stroller looking around at everything.
We departed and left Heather at work. Noah was passed out with in two mins. lol. Flirting with Auntie Heather did him in. It's tiring stuff!! regardless a fun day was had by all!! And we can't wait to do it again at the end of the Month with Melissa and her little one, Leah!!
New Topic: Noah hasn't been sleeping very well through the night any more (he used to sleep 12 hours up until two weeks ago). Now I am up at least once some times 4 times a night with him. He's not crying or anything. He just is wide awake and wants to play. While trying to get him back to sleep I feel frustrated and very tired. However, when I wake up in the morning and walk into his room he ALWAYS has the biggest smile on his face. All those feelings of frustration and tiredness completely disappear. (until the next night, lol). I have been reading up on this "all of a sudden wakening in the middle of the night" and it seems to be Noah is going through a growth spurt (he's at that growth spurt age) and his mind is so full of new things he wants to do and practice and he just can't seem to shut off his mind. Once he has mastered what he is working on, he should go back to sleeping again. The minds of little one's are so fascinating at times.
Hopefully I will be able to sleep tonight :)

The love of OUR life!
Every day is a new day it seems with Noah. He is growing up so fast (almost time for another baby, lol, just kidding, not yet anyways). We started mommy and baby bootcamp. He did not like that one bit. I think it was because he was too hot. The babies just played on the floor and watched us mommy's work out. I guess I would cry at that too!!
Sunday was his baptism. It was an experience for the both of us. I have only ever been to one baptism in my life and me myself not being baptized I had no idea what to expect or do. Noah was great through the whole thing. It actually brought a bit of tears in my eyes to watch my baby be baptized. A lot has gone on in the past couple weeks on the home front and miracles happened and it was nice to be in church and know there is a higher power watching over us. Whether it be angels or a lord. Noah slept through most of his day. Right up until the Deacon poured the water on his head. For those that don't know a Deacon is a Priest but he is married and allowed to have children. However, he had to be married first before becoming ordained into the church. If his wife were to pass away, he could no longer get married and then he would be able to become a Priest after doing the necessary actions. Overall a great day for Noah.
Mommy loves him so very much!!!!

A busy year to come!
Well it's been a crazy past couple of weeks. Noah was sick for two weeks (had a cold and finally it went away). Other than that we have just been busy doing stuff around the house and stuff. We started Pilate's with our friends Jenn and Luka. The babies slept, lol. Us mom's had a great workout. Next month the four of us start baby boot camp. That should be fun!! I am really looking forward to that. I can't believe how much I missed working out the past year. I know nuts eh, i didn't work out for a year!!!
This thursday Jenn and I are attending a workshop/class by Nanny Robina (you've seen her on the Mom show or City Line every wed). She is holding a sleep class to teach us the trick of the trade on how to get our babies to sleep more at night and let me tell you it couldn't come at a better time. For some reason Noah will sleep one night for 5 or 6 hours and then hardly at all the next night. Last night it was like i had a newborn again, not even cause even when he was a newborn he slept better than last night. He gets in the habit of wanting to "play" and laugh when mommy comes into his room. The other evening Phil was holding him and he was crying and crying. Finally I came downstairs and took him from Phil and right away he stopped crying and literally laughed his head off at the whole thing. I tell you, this kid is smart.
Jack-we can't wait for you to get home so you can see how much Noah has changed and grown up since you saw him at the wee ol' age of 2 weeks.
This post is all over the place, but to tell you the truth, that's how my mind works these days. Don't worry Jack, I still have the memory of an elephant, lol. Just lots of thoughts going on these days. Check back soon, Noah gets Baptized in Feb.

Merry First Christmas Noah!
Our first Christmas as a family was a great but busy one. On Christmas day my mom's family all came over (all 18 of us). We opened gifts, played our gift game where you steal and ate lots of food. Noah was a little fussy cause I think I over dressed him, opps. First time mom mistake. Then on Boxing Day we went out for lunch with my dad's family and came back to our house for dessert and the gift game. Noah was as good as gold. No over dressing for him that day.
Then it was Phil's birthday on the 28th. My family came over for dinner and cake. You are probably wondering where his family was since it was PHIL'S birthday. We celebrate his niece, brother and his birthdays all in Jan. So we will be doing that later on. It was a very busy holiday season. To top it off my poor baby boy is sick. He has a cold. He seems to be getting over it pretty fast. It was funny (i can laugh now at it but at the time it happened i wasn't too happy, lol), he kept waking up every 1/2 hour to be held and cuddled cause he wasn't feeling well. So finally at 5:30am he got up to eat. Instead of going back to bed he decided he wanted to laugh his head off at me and talk up a storm. He was so loud that he woke Phil up who was sleeping upstairs. And let me tell you, Phil is a SOUND sleeper, lol. I was "Noah, now is not the time". lol. It was too cute. I just have to keep an eye on him that he doesn't get a fever. Other than that that is about all that is new here. We hope everyone had a great holiday season and a happy new year! We are doing nothing!!! Enjoying it as a family.

Baby's First Needles
Last night Noah had to go to the dr. for his first set of needles (immunizations). Everything was going smoothly. He was getting weighed in (a whopping 12 lbs, 1 oz, he's my little piggy boy) and is 22.5 inches long. He gained 2.5 lbs and grew an inch since last time which was a month ago. The dr. poked and proded him and then it was time. He went to get the dreaded needles. I was totally fine with it. Phil who hates needles left.
Noah of course cried both pricks. Then I picked him up when all was said and done. He wimpered for a bit. Then we went to check if grandpa was at the dr. yet. Grandpa put the poor little guy to sleep. It was so cute.
When we got home, Noah was fine. Just a little clingy and wanted to be held all the time. I went off to bed and left Phil and Noah downstairs.
I fell asleep but then all of a sudden was awoken by Noah screaming/crying at the top of his lungs. It was a cry I had never heard before. After a while I went downstairs to see if I could help. Phil said he was sleeping in his swing when all of a sudden he was turning his head side to side and started screaming. Poor little guy. We have no idea what was the matter with him. We think he was dreaming or it was an after effect of the needle? Any suggestions or ideas about what was wrong? I had to change his diaper and he freaked out and was shaking, that's how bad he was crying/screaming. Then the little guy fell asleep in my arms. I went back to bed and he was fine for the rest of the night. He usually eats every 3 hours on the button with occasionally waiting 4 or 5 hours once a day. Last night he went from 10pm until 4am without waking up or eating (minus his little freak out at 11pm). Of course you would think I slept cause he didn't wake up for his 2:30am feeding, but I didn't cause I kept wondering "when is he going to eat". Maybe (fingers crossed) this is a sign he will go longer at night without eating.
Today my little guy is happy as anything (his normal self again). Last night wasn't too bad but I don't like having to go through it every two months for his needles. Oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do.
