I'm going to be very honest when I say this, I hope I don't hurt any ones feelings and I'm pretty sure I won't after shoveling snow and freezing your bum off. I'm tired of the snow, I hate it.. it's fun for oh about 10 minutes until it ruins my hair I spent countless hours doing and perfecting of gets my favorite shoes wet. But Alex sure couldn't be more excited about it! He loves to crawl over to the window and stand on his knees and look at it. He's got this obsession with standing and sitting on his knees.. help me please?
Blogging has been an almost impossible task lately, I was honestly lucky to get the holiday cards out as it was. I made several wonderful designs but when it came down to it I just didn't have to make them perfect (I have issues with that). Why you might ask? Oh just cause I have a baby trying to crawl everywhere.. like up the stairs!! It's so nerve racking I have to watch the little stinker all the time and if I so happen look away he's getting himself in trouble. Boys will be boys.. that's a true statement. Let me just mention that even though we planned on having children we never planned on buying baby proof furniture. So I'm realizing that everything in my house is going to be A. boxed away, B. baby proofed up or C. Hidden high high away. Why can't they just know better? It'd be just to easy that way!
Oh exciting well no so exciting news for me.. we moved to size 6. I tried a few other brands (tester from friends..thank you btw) and every size 5 fits the same (meaning doesn't fit) and every 6 seems to fit better. You want to know what the good news is? I'll be buying diapers online or possibly moving to cloth if he goes past 6. Aren't you just jealous!! Oh I know you are over there!! Please have pity on me, I spend countless hours wondering how normal people with regular babies live. lol j.k
We're extremely excited for Christmas.. John finally wrapped my gift after explaining to him I won't shake it. I don't do that really I swear.. I just have an issue about touching it ya know? Who doesn't! And I'm still waiting for one of John's in the mail and I'm getting extremely impatient. And Alex has already received a few gifts after I ran out of wrapping paper and got tired of him ripping them open and giving me the "oh but mom I know you love me.. pleaseee?" But other than that we're dealing with tons of snow like 6 inches over here yesterday and me handing out homemade cookies to my fellow neighbors. Oh by the way any of you who received those I tracked through the snow while it was coming down with a baby in a stroller! So if they're cold from being on your porch and not so wonderful I swear I tried. Remember I told you I didn't cook well. =]
Just in case I don't post again (doubt I will unless something exciting happens) I hope you all have a Merry Christmas, and Happy Hanukkah! I think I'll be back by the New Year!

9 months Old
Well we're getting close and closer to a year old and it's just kinda weird for me to be honest. I remember Alex all small and tiny (even though it didn't last long AT ALL) and how I use to snuggle him and admire him. I still do that but it's not that easy when he's this HUGE baby monster in my arms! It still so amazing that this year has flown by for me, I feel like it's going by so fast that I won't remember all the wonderful things he's done. Alex is bigger and crazier than ever, it's like the kids hopped up on sugar and wants to run wild around this place.
^^^The new big thing going on
New Accomplishments
-Crawling everywhere and following us around the house
-7th tooth has FINALLY cut, please pray for me the 8th will soon
-Throws fits because he wants to communicate so badly (not a fun one for us)
-Can say "Ma Muh" for sure, and a little bit of "Dah Dah" I think, I'm still trying to figure that one out (someone owes me money..you know who you are)
-Has discovered the stairs and scaring the pants off of Mommy
-Upon discovering the stairs pulled himself into standing position (kid never ceases to amaze me)
-Still eating me out of house and home..
Here's a better picture with his face.
He's a little surprised I caught a picture of him lol. I feel like the times are going by so fast and I can't believe he's standing now! Even though he's still in the beginning stages, I really thought I'd more time to relax but it all looks like a far and distant dream. Soon enough the little booger will be walking and I'll be running after him!
I still wish I could still freeze time.

Snow Day
We finally got a nice snow storm here, but I didn't let Alex play out in the snow when it was like 24 degrees here, I'm not having another case like the stomach flu. I can't take care of all of us with colds, but it was fun to have some nice snow.. and Alex loved all the snow flakes on his face!
Makes me all cold just looking at the picture!
Oh and look what little one prefers to do now, I'm just crossing my fingers work walking! I know it's going to be much harder, but then I don't have to carry around a nearly 30 pounder!
He's no quite pulling himself up but he'd rather us stand him up so he can be a big kid. And man Alex is crawling every where!! I can't leave him alone for one second without him following me or getting into something! I'm so glad he's mobile but I just don't know what to do with it! And baby-proofing, well that's all I really have to say about that right now.
P.S. It's almost 10 days until Christmas!

Growing Pains
Well I have to say suddenly after John gave Alex a blessing all the kid has been doing is sleeping. It's actually kind of bizarre cause he usually sleeps normal ya know 12 hours or so at night and two or 3 naps. Well it's turned into 15 or 16 hours with 2 extremely long naps. In other words he must be growing cause he's eating me out of house and home, but I can't complain cause a hungry baby is a happy baby!
Did I mention I'm a compulsive buyer? I'm considering joining a group because sometimes I wonder if I need therapy for my issues. Ok maybe it's not compulsive buying but I have a hard time passing up amazing deals! Who doesn't right? Well I've been dying to get Alex the Fisher-Price Go Baby Go Crawl and Cruise Musical Jungle but who the heck wants to pay $74.99? Not me.. but I can't pass up a deal on Amazon for $30.99! I swore off buying anything else and am finished! No more Christmas gifts for Alex!
I hate that I haven't been blogging much, but I only really have time to blog now when Alex is napping or in bed cause he gets into every thing! He's crawling everywhere and pulling on the tree, taking ornaments down and somehow pulling presents out from under the tree and opening them! I wish I had a camera at the time but I was laughing my butt off!
Oh and here is the big fun update.. Alex said his first word. What do you think it is.... all I can say is it made me happiest mom ever! It was "Mum Ma" It took me awhile to really figure out if he knew what he was saying and if he understood it but every time he seems to reach out for me or get upset with something and looks at me it comes out. Now not all the time and that's why I couldn't figure it out. But after me closely watching it's happened!! Exciting huh??!! I wish I could make him say it all the time it makes me smile every time he does! I'm trying to figure out if he's figured out "da da" he seems to say it when John comes home from work and same with "ba ba" when he sees his bottle. But I am SO excited the communication has started! The unknown screaming for something was driving me insane!
Feeding has become an all day snacking spree by the way. Alex would so much rather to prefer to feed himself if it was possible, spoon and all. He feeds himself the big food but when it comes down to those itty bitty freeze dried fruit he gets so mad he can't pick it up! And if he finally does he ends up sticking his whole fist in his mouth trying to get the poor thing in there! Seems like he's impatient like his mother and father.. and wants to accomplish everything right away. I love the fact that I don't have to worry about putting his pacifier in his mouth, he does it all by himself now yay!
Alex seems to become the singer of our little family! When he hears music in church or at home he tries to "sing" or babble through it.. it's so cute! Please pray for me that Alex's two teeth will cut through they're almost there!!
Well back to more last minute Christmas shopping and getting the dang holiday cards out! I've been meaning to get it done and now it's down to the line!
But I thought I'd leave this for you to laugh at..
Sorry Blogger's Video Up-loader isn't working. Look at that crazy hair!! That's Alex performing to Britney Spears new CD, gotta love iMovie and Final Cut. Alex loved to watch this video over and over again of himself! As you can see he really wants to crawl to his toys and is seriously trying to learn to stand and the bath tub is a perfect place for him I guess.
Oh P.S. What do you do after size 6? I'm going to have to put Alex in them and I don't know what to do after he can't fit!! I'm actually freaking out! I'll have to tell the lovely story to go along with this another time..

Ughh... is all I can say.
So I don't know how long this will be, and you are about to understand why..
The last few days have been HORRIBLE. And when I say horrible I mean, John and I both got the stomach flu.. and who had it worse? Me of course.. and I had it so bad I should of gone to the ER. I'll spare you the gruesome details because I know all of you know what the stomach flu is and what it's all about but let's just say I more or less lost 5 pounds because I wasn't keeping anything down and I wanted to honestly die. And I mean when I say ER I should of been there, and the only thing that was stopping me was Alex.. cause it was 12am and I wasn't going to screw his schedule up for the life of myself. Luckily John my wonderful husband took care of me and left early from work the next day to take care of Alex. He also got sick but by the time he did I was getting better so of course I returned the favor. He's so awesome for helping take care of me, every time I've ever needed him he never seems to fail me to help out in any way possible.
But who doesn't need help when you have a little maniac doing this all over the house?
Told you I wasn't joking.. the kid always proves me wrong. We've decided to buy him a jump rope and other stuff to shake so he doesn't electrocute himself. That's all I need is fried baby for Christmas. Oh and he's already attacking the bare Christmas tree. And please thank my husband for the lovely commentary because yes I had to catch him crawling a few times before I got it right, but like they say practice makes perfect!
We thought Alex was catching the flu too and it turns out he did, he seemed to handle it a whole lot better that us because every time he had the "nasties" he got a bath, which he has grown to love more than his toys... well almost. But on top of the flu, he sure is a little grumpy because not only does he have his 7th tooth coming, he has his 8th. Yes DO feel sorry for me, because if it were you I'd definitely feel bad. When they both finally cut he will have his 4 top and 4 bottom front teeth and next are molars. WOO HOO, what a trip that will be.
In other news we were suppose to do Christmas decorations this weekend, but since we were both sick we'll be waiting for FHE tomorrow to even start to attempt. My feelings on the whole thing is I don't really buy a whole lot of decorations because I don't find a need to until we buy our own home. Now don't think the whole place is blank, but I don't want the place packed full of stuff when I'm already cramped in this place. (And it's a great excuse to borrow my lovely mother-in-laws extra goodies.. nudge nudge mom) Oh and I shouldn't really talk because Halloween is FOR SURE covered since I couldn't help but watch John spend countless of hours at every Halloween store in town the last year or two, and becoming "best buds" with the owners. I'm hoping to buy a house by the end of next year, it depends on a few things such as if the right place is up for sale, if we are staying in Utah, when/where I start school, and if I preggers.
Oh and lets talk about presents, Santa has sure got my list this year! I never really have much to ask for since I always seem to get what I want.. wink wink! But I always get surprised with stuff I begged for and John said heck no! (I HATE surprises) hehehe But I got Alex a TON of stuff.. and it was all 50% off or more.. go ahead and say it, I'm amazing I know. And these are not like used, or old toys they're stuff everyone would want a deal on. I should really start posting about them cause you all deserve these great deals. But wrapping, I'm honestly the worst gift wrapper ever. David & Rae thank goodness you're receiving your gift in the mail.. and William.. Uncle John wrapped yours because if I would of done it you'd probably be swallowed in paper. I'm horrible at wrapping and am boycotting taking pictures of all the gifts until they're open! Oh and next year John gets wrapping duty dang it! Poor John thinks I do an amazing job, he always seems to make me feel good cause I'm a newbie to Christmas.. I really suck at decorating the tree too. It was kinda hideous last year. I need tips people PLEASE! All of your trees look amazing and I don't know where to start! I know this is last minute notice with us doing it tomorrow but I need to buy new stuff HELP!
Oh! AND DUH!! Gosh I feel dumb I went to Kirstie's Bridal Shower!! It was SOO cute and so fun, and thanks Kirstie for inviting me I love spending time with you and I am SO excited you're getting married! Especially to Brad his is a very cool, and nice guy btw! But the shower was so much and I showed up super fashionably late because Alex started to get sick about the time I needed to be there.
I loved all the gifts she got, it was more a lingerie theme which was a great idea!! Who doesn't love that stuff?!
Ok so this picture was totally priceless Brittany came up with a game for Brad to answer questions about himself and Kirstie and every time Kirstie got it wrong she had to stuff a Peep in her mouth.. haha lets just say she really doesn't have a big mouth! I wish I would of had more pictures but I got to caught up in it all! I had a TON of fun even though I was getting over sick I was so glad I could be there!
Ok.. well I'm going to get some things done and go to bed cause tomorrow will be a long day of chasing Alex around, praying he doesn't kill the tree and entertaining him. Oh wait and probably more errands as usual =]

Lets make this one fun
Well I've suddenly learned a few things about life the last few days that might not be that surprising to most people, but sure gave me a run for my money. Well the more I was starting to think about it I was wondering why Alex was being so weird lately. He'd been kinda of fussy, become more whiny and needy and then it all suddenly sunk in. I was checking Alex's 6th tooth to see if it was cutting through and not only was it, he moved his head and I found another one that had already cut. So number 6 was really number 7 and I felt like a horrible mom wondering why I was thinking my son was so whiny!
Look at me I'm coming to get you!!
Next, I've been making comments to John and my family about Alex's crawling wondering why he was being weird about it.. and thinking he might just give up and go to standing and walking. Nope John and I saw him in the act the other night. It was actually kind of creepy if you ask me.. he got up rocked back and forth, turned and faced the TV and then crawled. But the weird thing was it was like that crippled I "broke my leg" crawl and went to the VCR-DVD converter and started pressing buttons. Once again that kid seems to prove me wrong, I mean you would think I would know better and not be surprised anymore right? No, I was actually speechless and wondering if he likes to prove us wrong. Anyways he's practicing more and more and seems to want to follow me around the house if he could move fast enough and enjoys grabbing any and every cord and shaking it. Can we say baby proofing immediately? Which is another thing I want to talk about..
Ya know babies are expensive.. when it comes to diapers, formula, toys, clothes misc accessories and un-needed crap moms buy because it's "oh so cute". I keep adding it up and I'm still shocked at all the money I've spent and the year is not even over!! But lets get one thing straight I am the QUEEN of bargains and got some amazing deals on Fisher Price toys, Carter's PJs, and Leap Frog. I feel like I'm a the coolest person in the world because I love Fisher Price but they're SOO expensive!! I find myself justifying that they an be used for other children and the clothes can't be the cheap stuff cause then the next kid can't enjoy them. Stupid, but it always gets me every time.. and because of it I'm always on the hunt for coupons, sales and holiday deals. I get emails and coupons from everyone.. you might see me with the reward for "Mother who goes to all Extremes to get a Deal" there is such thing right?
Yeah, I caught you.
Alex is such a nuts little baby.. he makes me laugh so hard. I can't believe he's already got a little personality that totally matches John and me. He's so spoiled too!! I mean everyone says you can't spoil a kid, but I don't know about this one! He's a smart kid too, I mean I know every mom brags and says this but he's really focusing on what we do. He's started to do that thing where you take your finger and move up and down on your lip it's hilarious!! He's not using his finger of course.. more like his whole hand but it cracks up all up. Waving is a whole different story with us, cause he seems to get the whole concept but things clapping is so much for fun cause he gets so much praise from it. But knowing him I'll start making comments and he'll just once again surprise me. Oh did I mention my chunk of a kid had to get a toddler car seat? Ya the giant child over here is huge and won't stop growing.. the kid is going through another growth spurt! Someone please shoot me? He's going to be bigger than me in the next year or two at this rate! And THANK GOODNESS he's trying to stand.. so walking will be coming soon. I mean how the heck am I suppose to carry a 27 pound baby around all the time! Oh and it's funny cause he's finally realized him reaching for us make us pick him up. So now anytime he wants us he just throws those big chubby arms up and reaches.. Mr. Smartie Pants if you ask me.
Oh please meet Mr. I am to good for my bottle and prefer solids.
Beyond that is anyone a Britney Spears fan?? Ok well I have a confession to make.. I have been a DIE HARD fan since like forever.. just like I was with N*Sync and Backstreet Boys. I love her and even thought she was a total hot mess for awhile I still loved her and secretly prayed for her in my prayers. I watched the "On the Record" on MTV and finally heard everything I needed to realize to love and forgave her for all of her foolishness. I L-O-V-E her new record!! Love it, and can't stop listening to it, I'd post all the songs on my blog if it wouldn't drive all of you nuts. BTW.. did I ever tell any of you a secret of mine?
Dun Dun Dun.. Ever since I was 13 and she started to blow up I always got told I looked like Britney.. I don't know why but it only has gotten worse since I started growing up. Now that her sister got big I get her too! It's so funny people have always given me double takes when they see me pulling in somewhere with my big sunglasses and then later secretly tell me I look so much like her. John always jokes that I'd make mad money being an impersonator. It would of been a way awesome job if I would of waited a little longer to have a baby when I had a hot rocking body.
And about my body.. ya know I get how great I look all the time and I think this. --->> (I WORKED MY BUTT OFF TO GET THIS FAR AND I'M STILL NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE!!) Ok well I've already passed my goal of pre-pregnancy weight awhile ago but I've never worked on my body before. My metabolism is getting back to normal and I love the gym but it's still nuts! I'm not going to lie when I say this.. I know God made me in his own imagine and all my tattoos and crazy things I've done to my body won't be there but I'm not opposed to plastic surgery. I mean I don't think I'll be like some of you guys who look AMAZINGLY great after 2 or 3 kids.. and I wouldn't mind looking absolutely perfect when I'm done with babies! And no no no.. it's not for anyone but me, I know people do that to get attention and blah blah.. but honestly I could care less about any one's opinion of me. The only person's opinion that I care about is Johns, and well that's it for right now at least. I hope I'm not offending anyone, but in the past I've let other people opinions of me get to me, when in all reality they were just being overly judgmental. But beside that who wouldn't want to be a killer hot mom!! =]
Well I've said enough.. I felt like for once I'd really talk about me and show everyone a different side of me.
Next, I've been making comments to John and my family about Alex's crawling wondering why he was being weird about it.. and thinking he might just give up and go to standing and walking. Nope John and I saw him in the act the other night. It was actually kind of creepy if you ask me.. he got up rocked back and forth, turned and faced the TV and then crawled. But the weird thing was it was like that crippled I "broke my leg" crawl and went to the VCR-DVD converter and started pressing buttons. Once again that kid seems to prove me wrong, I mean you would think I would know better and not be surprised anymore right? No, I was actually speechless and wondering if he likes to prove us wrong. Anyways he's practicing more and more and seems to want to follow me around the house if he could move fast enough and enjoys grabbing any and every cord and shaking it. Can we say baby proofing immediately? Which is another thing I want to talk about..
Ya know babies are expensive.. when it comes to diapers, formula, toys, clothes misc accessories and un-needed crap moms buy because it's "oh so cute". I keep adding it up and I'm still shocked at all the money I've spent and the year is not even over!! But lets get one thing straight I am the QUEEN of bargains and got some amazing deals on Fisher Price toys, Carter's PJs, and Leap Frog. I feel like I'm a the coolest person in the world because I love Fisher Price but they're SOO expensive!! I find myself justifying that they an be used for other children and the clothes can't be the cheap stuff cause then the next kid can't enjoy them. Stupid, but it always gets me every time.. and because of it I'm always on the hunt for coupons, sales and holiday deals. I get emails and coupons from everyone.. you might see me with the reward for "Mother who goes to all Extremes to get a Deal" there is such thing right?
Alex is such a nuts little baby.. he makes me laugh so hard. I can't believe he's already got a little personality that totally matches John and me. He's so spoiled too!! I mean everyone says you can't spoil a kid, but I don't know about this one! He's a smart kid too, I mean I know every mom brags and says this but he's really focusing on what we do. He's started to do that thing where you take your finger and move up and down on your lip it's hilarious!! He's not using his finger of course.. more like his whole hand but it cracks up all up. Waving is a whole different story with us, cause he seems to get the whole concept but things clapping is so much for fun cause he gets so much praise from it. But knowing him I'll start making comments and he'll just once again surprise me. Oh did I mention my chunk of a kid had to get a toddler car seat? Ya the giant child over here is huge and won't stop growing.. the kid is going through another growth spurt! Someone please shoot me? He's going to be bigger than me in the next year or two at this rate! And THANK GOODNESS he's trying to stand.. so walking will be coming soon. I mean how the heck am I suppose to carry a 27 pound baby around all the time! Oh and it's funny cause he's finally realized him reaching for us make us pick him up. So now anytime he wants us he just throws those big chubby arms up and reaches.. Mr. Smartie Pants if you ask me.
Beyond that is anyone a Britney Spears fan?? Ok well I have a confession to make.. I have been a DIE HARD fan since like forever.. just like I was with N*Sync and Backstreet Boys. I love her and even thought she was a total hot mess for awhile I still loved her and secretly prayed for her in my prayers. I watched the "On the Record" on MTV and finally heard everything I needed to realize to love and forgave her for all of her foolishness. I L-O-V-E her new record!! Love it, and can't stop listening to it, I'd post all the songs on my blog if it wouldn't drive all of you nuts. BTW.. did I ever tell any of you a secret of mine?
Dun Dun Dun.. Ever since I was 13 and she started to blow up I always got told I looked like Britney.. I don't know why but it only has gotten worse since I started growing up. Now that her sister got big I get her too! It's so funny people have always given me double takes when they see me pulling in somewhere with my big sunglasses and then later secretly tell me I look so much like her. John always jokes that I'd make mad money being an impersonator. It would of been a way awesome job if I would of waited a little longer to have a baby when I had a hot rocking body.
And about my body.. ya know I get how great I look all the time and I think this. --->> (I WORKED MY BUTT OFF TO GET THIS FAR AND I'M STILL NOT WHERE I WANT TO BE!!) Ok well I've already passed my goal of pre-pregnancy weight awhile ago but I've never worked on my body before. My metabolism is getting back to normal and I love the gym but it's still nuts! I'm not going to lie when I say this.. I know God made me in his own imagine and all my tattoos and crazy things I've done to my body won't be there but I'm not opposed to plastic surgery. I mean I don't think I'll be like some of you guys who look AMAZINGLY great after 2 or 3 kids.. and I wouldn't mind looking absolutely perfect when I'm done with babies! And no no no.. it's not for anyone but me, I know people do that to get attention and blah blah.. but honestly I could care less about any one's opinion of me. The only person's opinion that I care about is Johns, and well that's it for right now at least. I hope I'm not offending anyone, but in the past I've let other people opinions of me get to me, when in all reality they were just being overly judgmental. But beside that who wouldn't want to be a killer hot mom!! =]
Well I've said enough.. I felt like for once I'd really talk about me and show everyone a different side of me.
