19 Weeks

Crazy how times fly! Noah is getting so big.  He had his four month appointment this week and his shots which he handled much better than last time.  A little grumpy at night but didn't seem to have the same side effects and lots of crying like last time.   We also got the green light for solids so we started with some carrots to mixed reviews by Noah.  Maybe the next food will be better for him.  

And of course, I've been dressing him in lots of Halloween outfits already.  Might as well make it a holiday month. 

• How old is Noah?:  19 Weeks
  
• Noah is how big?: 17.5lbs
• Sleep: Sleeping between 10-12 hrs at night.  Pretty consistent in his wakeup time of 7:30-8a.  If we put him to bed a little earlier he might sleep closer to 12 but I think he likes to sleep around 10.5-11hrs the most. My next goal is to have a more consistent bed time but I'm not complaining.  As long as he keeps sleeping at night I'm happy.
• Milestones: Almost had him eat his toes this week.  He's really getting good at grabbing him feet.  

• Baby "Win" of the Week:  Oh geez, I don't know.  Noah has been a pretty good baby.  I think we'll call it even this week.  Noah 0 - Mom&Dad 0
• Best Moment of the Week:  Noah is officially a great sleeper. Thank you son for giving me some sanity back.
• What I’m excited about/looking forward to: Looking forward to this kid learning to roll over.  At his Dr. Apt we found he has a very large head in the 95th percentile which is making me wonder if it's just a little harder for him to lug that thing around and therefore is just happier laying his head down, but it's about time and I want him to start rolling over!

Finally, Jeff and I celebrated Sweetest Day (which I always forget about) during date night..  I was lucky enough to also have had a nice mani-pedi planned for me.  What a great hubby. =)

Love Hate List

Love | The new Cartwheel app by Target - You say I can shop at Target even more than I already do and save money? Ok, I guess you forced me to take my fifth trip this month. Get it. Seriously.

Love | The Golden Sisters - If you're having a crappy day because your child wont sleep and keeps puking in your face.... you need to watch this.  It will for the very short time keep you immensely entertained.  The most hilarious three grandmas in the whole world. My favorite video below. Prepare to pee your pantalones.

 

Hate | Lame drivers - Don't drive like an idiot just because it's raining; It's gonna snow soon and you're gonna have major problems.

Love | Bath & Body Works - Just opened a new bottle of Rome Honeysuckle Amore and I'm loving it. Not quite ready to leave the summer smells behind and although I'm more of a Brown Sugar lotion type of girl I can't get enough of this smell.

Love | Fall TV - I love fall TV.  It occupies so much time for me at work when it's slow.  It's so nice to have things to catch up on.  Currently I'm loving: Once Upon A Time,  Revolution, The Blacklist, Nashville & Trophy Wife. And like a million other more, but these are for sure the favs.

Hate | Working weekends - Enough said.

Love | Whole Chickens -Ok, kind of creepy when you think about it but I just realized how amazing it is to cook a whole chicken.  Did I mention it was super easy too? For sure will have to write a recipe for it soon. It's like fall wrapped up in butter and herbs. Yum!

Love | Festive holiday garlands on Etsy - I mean, seriously, you can get anything you want in any color and shape and it makes decoration your house that much more awesome. My favorite shops so far are here & here.

Not so many hates right now but lots of loves!

Boy Fall Favorites

This cooler weather we've been having has gotten me thinking how I really need to get some fall family pictures done so we have a cute Christmas card this year.  Now that Noah is around I just don't feel like I can slack and wait 'till the last minute as usual. Of course, with out crazy busy schedule in the fall we never have time to do anything, especially now that Noah takes like 90% of our free time, which leaves me to figure out a way to make these pictures work without a professional photographer.  Anyone want to come snap some photos?

Really though, I think we'll just have to make due with a mommy photoshoot in our back yard and see what happens.  And if we're not gonna have a great pictures we might as well look good, or at least Noah should. 

I've been eying a ton of cute outfits. I really need to do a good fall shopping trip.
