Another Sunday

Noah slept until 10am this morning. He’s been sleeping really well lately. He was getting up about once or twice a night and we’d have to go in and give him his pacifier. Now he usually makes it through the night without needed us. Let’s hope this continues.

We were trying to decide what to do this morning, but since we didn’t have much time (the Steelers game was on at 12) we decided to take a walk in the neighborhood. We walked to the elementary school and Evan played on the playground for a little while.

I made scrambled eggs for brunch. Morry ate his in front of the TV. Evan and I ate outside on the upstairs patio. Evan loves to eat outside.

I took Evan to TJ Maxx. He needed a few more long sleeved shirts. The ones we had were a little too big on him. I wanted to just go somewhere cheap and quick.

After naps we went to HEB. We put both Evan and Noah in the cart. Evan always likes to eat something while we are there so I gave him a plum. He ate about half of it and left it in front of the cart. We were in the meat section looking at something and when I looked back at the boys Noah was eating the plum! He had grabbed it and was sucking on it.

So, we think Noah is getting another tooth. He’s been cranky today and we feel a little bump on the top of his mouth.

So, as I’m writing this I hear Morry cracking up. He says I have to come see this video on the internet. Here it is… pretty funny….http://video.yahoo.com/network/100284668?v=3710199&l=4418225

Monday... last night at Oasis, walk, ...

We had a nice time last night at Oasis. We got a great table overlooking the lake and could also hear the band from where we were sitting. The Podbers also met us there. Evan loved dancing. He was jumping around and spinning. When the music would stop he would yell “More!”

This morning we took a run/walk. Evan walked a little of the way. As we walked by the elementary school we saw Amy and Abby (from our original Starbucks playgroup). They had just had lunch with Amy’s other daughter who’s birthday is today. Abby was eating a cookie and Amy asked me if it was alright if Evan had one. Evan was very excited to get a chocolate chip cookie. Somehow he managed to get chocolate all over his face though. I never understand how you can give this kid the littlest amount of chocolate, but somehow he manages to get it everywhere.

We forgot to add the other day that Noah is getting another tooth! He now has 2 teeth coming in on the bottom. It doesn’t seem to bother him too much.

I had a busy tutoring schedule tonight. Since a few of my students have a band performance tomorrow I had to move them to today. I was gone from 5-10 this evening. Morry had to take care of the boys on a football night. He’s watching the Steelers game now. Evan is still up making noise in his room. Hopefully he falls asleep soon.

Day 1- The first entry

Trying out this whole blogging thing. I thought this would be a good way keep everyone updated on what is going on in our lives.

Today we went to the Wildflower Center in the morning with Zayde/Jack/Morry's dad. Evan had a good time showing Zayde around.

We also went to lunch at Satellite Cafe near our house. Evan ate really well. He ate all of my fruit, some of my beans, the 3 dinosaur chicken nuggets we brought from home. Evan sat next to me in the booth and he kept leaning over and hugging me and saying "I love Mommy." Very sweet.

We felt Noah's first tooth today. He's doing well and eating a ton. He ate 3 spoons of cereal mixed with applesauce and juice this morning as well as half a container of baby fruit. And this evening he also ate 3 spoons of cereal. He's still having about 5 bottles a day with around 6-8oz of formula in each. Noah will have his 6 month doctor's appointment on Sept. 30. We'll get to find out then how he's doing in regards to his weight and height.

Yesterday we went to Wonder World in San Marcos. Not really knowing much about it besides what we read online http://www.wonderworldpark.com we thought it looked fun. We drove out there and they really pushed getting the whole package (cave, observation tower, magnetic house, animal train ride) so we did. The first part was the cave. We walked through the gift shop into the top of cave entrance. We stood there while the tour guide started going over the rules and all. Then Evan started saying "No, no, ..". He wanted to go back in the gift shop. I had to carry him back to the group. As we started descending into the cave Evan was starting to whine and I knew it was not going to be a fun tour with me having to carry him the whole time. I suggested to go back up. As we were going back up Evan said, "It'll probably be scary." We ended up getting our money back for the whole thing and going home.

So, my goal is to update this daily. We'll see how that goes.

Please feel free to leave comments and any suggestions on what you want us to include in this blog.

Here are some pictures from today at the Wildflower Center.
