I'm The Mom Right?

2009-07-06T13:11:00.000-07:00

I really love my pediatrician, he has been really great with Claire and Isaac, but I took Isaac for his 4 month check up and I was really looking forward to him telling me that I could give Isaac Rice Cereal. However, he never even mentioned it, and then when I brought it up he said not to give him anything until 6 months. I asked him why and he said that they have found that babies have less food allergies if you wait until 6 months instead of 4. So, I went home kind of annoyed, because I can see in Isaac's eyes that he totally wants to start eating. He was sleeping really well and is now starting to wake up more at night, and I am pretty sure it is just because he wants more than just breast milk. Claire was the nursing queen she really didn't eat anything other than breast milk for the first year of her life, but Isaac is a whole different story. He is a healthy boy, but his metabolism just really keeps him long and skinny, during his checkup he was in the 75th percentile for height and the 25th percentile for weight. So, after much debating I have finally decided that "I am the mom", and I am going to give my baby rice cereal if I want to. So, I went to the store today and he had some for lunch. I don't think that he loved it too much, but he kept on eating it because he could, and he is already staying asleep longer for his nap today than other days, usally I have to feed him half way through the nap because the poor boy gets hungry. So, there is my little rant and now I need to fold the giant pile of laundry on my couch before he does wake up.

Happy Father's Day (Yesterday)

2009-06-22T08:35:00.000-07:00

The tie David is wearing is from Claire, she decorated it in nursery and I think that it looked pretty good on him.

Happy Father's Day to all the father's I know especially; my husband, my own Dad, my father in law Mark, and my Father in Law, Tom. You all are such wonderful men in my life and I am so grateful for all that you do and have done for me. Thanks.

Sprinkles on Pancakes?

2009-06-10T12:36:00.000-07:00

So, a little while back. One morning we woke up and for some reason Claire was not interested in eating anything until I suggested Pink pancakes with sprinkles. Sometimes I really wonder what I am thinking; as if butter and syrup on pancakes is not enough they had to be pink with sprinkles. I really think that sometimes I make being a mom much harder than it really needs to be. But, let me tell you she really loved them then wanted sprinkles on all her breakfast foods, and food coloring in everything. Thank goodness two year olds get distracted easily and she has forgotten, and is now back to regular breakfasts.

Can't Wait To Grow Up

2009-06-10T12:29:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture that is closest to a smile so far, He has the biggest little gummy smile ever. I hope it stays that way too because he definitely likes to bite, ouch!

Isaac has become infactuated lately with Claire and food. All Day long he watches Claire and antime we eat he stares the food down. It is really hilarious, it is as if he just can't wait until he can play with her. Life has been fun watching Isaac and Claire learn and grow and just wanted to capture a few pictures to remember.

High School Musical and a Clean house

2009-06-04T20:59:00.000-07:00

So, I finally decided that it was about time that I watched High School Musical. (I know I am a little bit behind the curve) Anyway, I watched it so that I could actually know for myself what all the hype was about. Well, let me tell you I loved it and I want to own it so I can watch it anytime. I told David this after watching it and that I also wanted to own Twilight and all he did was shake his head and say, "I am married to a high school teenage girl". But I don't care, how else would I get through the day sometimes without turning on some cheesy feel good movie that Claire, Isaac and I can dance to.

Also, I feel awful about actually admitting this, but today I woke up and realized that my house stunk, literally. Life has been kind of crazy now that Isaac has joined the party and the house has suffered. Anyway, I am proud to say that I now have a clean house, even my bedroom and boy does it feel good. I would like to keep it this way and am open to any suggestions as to how to do that, and play with Claire, and get a nap for myself. If there are any supermoms out there please comment. Also, Isaac has started laughing just recently. It is music to my ears and makes being a mom so worth it Dang I love my kids, and husband.

Getting Bigger Everyday

2009-05-21T21:56:00.000-07:00

I can't believe how fast Isaac and Claire are both growing. Just wanted to capture a few pictures before they got left behind. It is true that being a mom is hard sometimes, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. Since that last post I have decided that it is much more important to just be a mom than to make sure Claire is at every little activity I can possibly think of. There is a time and a season for everything and I have decided now is not the time to drag a two year old and a baby all over it is much more fun the just be together at home. Even if it is in our pajamas.

Being A Mom Is Hard Sometimes

Too Bad, I better get over it.

Princesses

2009-05-11T12:43:00.000-07:00

At Disneyland they have a Princess faire where you get to meet a few of the princesses. Claire of course threw a giant fit in line, but thanks to her grandparents she still got to see the princesses. It was really nice she had a couple minutes with each one and boy did she tell them her life story it was adorable.

Making Friends

2009-05-11T12:38:00.000-07:00

Sorry about the delay in finishing, as I was getting ready to post both of my children woke up. I promise we did do more than sleep on our trip. It was a blast. Claire had a fun time meeting some of the characters and we had a fun time watching her. It was so funny, whenever she would see a character she would bring her hands up to her face. So, alot of the pictures are that way. She liked going on some of the rides, but her favorite was the buzz light year ride where you get to shoot aliens. She would always ask for it. I am so glad that we got to go with David's parents and a couple of his brothers and sisters. I don't know how you can make a trip to disneyland without help. It sure was a different experience with a two year old. the nice thing too was that David and I got to go to a nice dinner for acouple hour while we were there it was nice to have some time together and eat delicious food. All in all our trip was fantastic and thank you so much to David's parents for letting us come with them.

Dreaming of Disneyland

2009-05-07T14:41:00.000-07:00

We finally made it to Disneyland the first day and this is what we found.

We got Isaac this little hat to keep his head covered, it was a little big but sure cute.

Both Isaac and Claire fell asleep within the first ten minutes we got to Disneyland the first day. It was nice the because David's mom stayed with them and David and I got to go on a couple rides.

This last weekend David's parents came down to visit and so we blessed Isaac and made a trip to the happiest place on earth, Disneyland. We had a blast and have found that Claire most definitely does not like to wait in line.

Baby Blessing

2009-05-07T14:32:00.000-07:00

We blessed Isaac this last Sunday and David's parents and younger brother Drew got to come. Isaac had the cutest outfit (Thanks Grandma Brenda); he looked like a little tiny man. The blessing was great and now I know that it really isn't that bad if your baby cries through the whole thing at least the microphone is high so its not too loud. Then right after church we hit the road to make it to anaheim and the drive only took an hour and a half longer than it should have, not to bad.

comfy womfy!

2009-05-07T14:25:00.000-07:00

Isaac just loves sleeping in this position. If you have a warm belly and chest he is content.

Tummy Time Fun

2009-04-28T21:11:00.000-07:00

This picture is from a while back, but I found it again and thought it was the cutest thing. Claire is becoming more and more photogenic, I think that the reason is because she is not the only one we try to get pictures of, there is now some competition. I was taking pictures of Isaac and she decided she needed to be a part of it. Also, we have found that Isaac just loves laying on his tummy, sometimes he will be on his tummy and just fall asleep there. He is just such a little snuggle bug I love it.

Easter Egg Fun

2009-04-13T12:13:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we had a blast coloring Easter eggs, hunting for Easter eggs and taking naps (Isaac). On Saturday we hid some Easter eggs around the house and Claire found them like a pro. Claire also showed us her amazing talent of putting an entire cadbury cream egg in her mouth.

One Month Already?

2009-04-07T12:15:00.000-07:00

I just have to say that my kids are the cutest ever!

Our little Claire cracks us up all the time. I am not quite sure where she picks up the things that she says. The other day we were at the dinner table and David was finishing up dinner and I said to Claire, "We sure do love that daddy don't we?", and her reply was, " We sure do, "wink, wink". David and I just started to laugh. I really have no idea where she comes up with the things she does, but it defenitly gets me through the day sometimes. Also speaking of getting through the day and night Isaac has started to smile a little bit. I can't wait until he gets really good at it and I can get a pictures. It is the biggest little grin i have ever seen.

This morning I took Isaac to his one month doctor's check up and I can't believe how fast the time has flown by. It seems like it was just last week that I was pregnant. Anyway, his weight is now 9 pounds and 9 ounces, and he is 22 1/2 inches long. The doctor says that he looks like he is doing really well. I am just getting so excited because he is starting to chunk up a little.

Baby Announcement

2009-04-05T13:23:00.000-07:00

Valerie asked me to help her come up with a baby announcement for Isaac. I quickly made this one, but Valerie says it isn't "cute" or "blue" enough. She says it needs to be "well designed." What isn't cute about space? The Earth is blue, right? This design has contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity: it is well designed!

We probably won't be using this one. Oh well.

Love being a mom

2009-04-01T12:14:00.000-07:00

I just have to say that being a mother of two is awesome! The other day I was making some pizza dough and somehow had run out of white flour (must have been a little preoccupied lately) and so I needed to grind some wheat really quick to finish the dough. The only problem is that my grinder sounds like a jet engine and Claire doesn't really like it and although Isaac has slept through it I didn't think he would appreciate it either. So anyway I moved Isaac into to Claire's room along with Claire and closed the door. Then I ground my wheat and when i was done I went back in and Claire was reading a book to Isaac. I almost started cry right then and there. I have the best daughter in the world. Also, yesterday I put Claire down for a nap and then about two hours later I hear her door open but she doesn't come into the living room. then I hear something in the bathroom so i go check. I couldn't hardly believe it, but Claire was going to the bathroom all by herself. She has been potty trained for quite some time, but we always had to help her every step of the way. I can't believe how much she is growing up. Also, I just have to say that I love chunky babies and I am so happy Isaac's little legs and face are starting to fill out, he was pretty long and skinny when he was born.

Twins or What?

2009-03-29T21:35:00.000-07:00

I have decided that the gag reflex is hereditary. We have found that Isaac not only spits up but also projectial vomits about two feet on average. Which is exactly what David was known for as a baby. The good thing is his clothes are usually dry; the bad news is that mine are drench beyond wear. I feel like I might need an extra large diaper bag so that I can bring a change of clothes not only for him but also me. Another interesting thing is that when he spits up all of his milk and Claire is around she starts gagging too i have to tell her to leave so she doesn't throw up. Then if Claire ends up throwing up and David comes in he starts to gag. I just hope that I never get the flu becuase if i do we will really be up a creek without a paddle. But other than this minor problem being a mom is great and just gets better, I can't believe how alike Isaac and Claire look, the only difference in the pictures is that Claire is probably a couple weeks older than he is now. He doens't quite have the belly or the chunky cheeks yet. But, he is defenitly working on it.

Aren't they the cutest? I can't believe how much Claire and Isaac look alike good thing she was wearing pink.
