what the heck!!!

last night was AWEFUL! AJ is usually whiney (spelling?) at bedtime but last night was a nightmare! he went to sleep at 7:00 and woke up at 7:30. I tried to let him cry himself back to sleep. after 15 minutes he started screaming and hyperventilating so jake went in his room and picked him up, he still cried! 5 more minutes of jake holding him and he still was crying so i tried holding him and he calmed down. i got him back to sleep about 8:00, laid him in his crib and walked out of the room and he started screaming again! i let it go for about 5 minutes and went back in there and picked him up, then nothing that i did helped him! nothing!!!! i tried walking with him, i tried rocking him, sitting with him, playing with him, laying down with him. NOTHING WORKED! finally, i called my mom crying! and he calmed down! i think he liked to see me flusterd! meanie! while i was bawling on the phone to my mom he started rolling around on my bed. when i got off of the phone, he pulled himself over to me, laid his head on my stomach and i started rubbing his back. within 2 minutes if that he was out. he was so tired and asleep that i picked him up, laid him on my chest, and he didn't wake up. HE MADE MY MIND UP FOR ME THOUGH! NO MORE KIDS!!! i really do have a good baby and if i take a chance at having another one and it is fussy like that allllll the time, i'll go insane! i have no patience as it is i couldn't imagine having a baby act like that EVERY night! i'm exhausted today!

My goofy hubby! love him!

I laughed so hard at this pic cuz everyone has weird faces!

AJ licked Noah's head......

.....and then laughed about it, Noah is a great sport.

I got the great idea to let AJ be in the bath with out laying on his sponge from Ryus. And Aj absolutely loves bath time now! so precious!

He LOVES to splash!

CUTIE CUTIE PIE!

Soooo..... AJ had his 6 month check up today. He weighs 18 lbs 13 oz and is 28 in long! I talked to the Dr about his growth just to make sure he didn't think he was tooo fat. I don't want my kiddo to be unhealthy and obese! He said that AJ is normal. relief! but then i asked if i could get a prescription of Zantac for him (due to the picture above and he throws up more then normal to me) the dr said that since he is gaining weight appropriately that he shouldn't be on medicine for that. so now what do i do!? Honestly, I don't care what he says, the Zantac helps him!!! He really frusterates me!

On a happier note, Noah is doing better in daycare again! which is fantastic because we thought we were going to have to look for a new place for him again! He just has a strong personality and when he comes across another kiddo with a strong personality he wants to challenge them.

Noah has really been wanting to play and help me out with AJ which is fantastic! These boys are amazing! I really hope they both enjoy being kids! I wish I would've more!

AJ CAN SIT UP!!!! I came home from a work trip in vegas. and my little baby boy can sit up and went swimming for the first time! He's just growing up so stinkin fast! And I feel like I'm missing it all because I have to work!

Noah is learning how to swim and he loves it! He's doing so much better at his new daycare.I'm so proud of him!

(By the way... i don't know why the last paragraph came out so small and i'm kinda upset about it!!! nothing i do will fix it!!!)

The boys

A little boy came into the office today and was super rambunctious like Noah is. However, when his mom told him to stop and to sit down the little boy kept on running around and screaming. It made me so grateful that Noah listens and respects me. Sometimes I get very frustrated because I think that he doesn't hear me or care what I'm saying. But I know that he does and he is learning. I love that little boy so much and I love watching him grow up and change.

On Friday, we started having AJ sleep in his crib. He slept from 8-2. Saturday he fell asleep in his carseat so I didn't take him out. Sunday night he slept in his crib from 9-5 and last night he slept in his crib from 8-4. I am loving it but it kinda feels like I am more tired now then I was when I was waking up every 4 hours. He is also getting his two bottom front teeth in.

I LOVE MY BOYS!!!

WE DID IT! We're married! it was a very stressful time but it was so worth it! I can't believe how nervous i was right before walking out! Jake was amazing though and as soon as I saw him I was fine again! His vows were so great. The food was awesome, the flowers turned out great and I don't have one complaint. I'm so happy that my mom was there to take care of my son because I was really all over the place! We had such a fun time with everyone that went. Thank you so much to all those who came and especially those who traveled to be with us. It means so much that you were there.
