Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I will post pictures once I upload them. So how did everyone do with November blog month? I didn't make it. In fact I think I failed a few days in but it did help me to post more and I enjoyed it.
I don't know about all of you but Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love decorating and all the family time. I'm excited for Jake's first Christmas although it may be more fun for B and I this year. I'm sure that he will have more fun playing with a box than the toys he gets. I'm sure he will love all the lights.

Tomorrow is the first day of December and still no snow. I'm ready... Bring it on...

9 Months!

Yes that's right....my little man is 9 months.

Jake turned 9 months old on Tuesday. I wanted to wait until his 9 month check up to post so I can post all his stats. So here it is...

Weight- 18lb 7 oz
Height- 2' 3.25"
HC- 42.2 cm

Jake has one little tooth coming in on the bottom. It also looks like he has two coming in on the top. Jake is some what sleeping through the night. He usually goes down around 7:30 and will sleep until 7. Sometimes he will wake up for the rest of his bottle but its usually before 11. He has been working really hard with his therapist Karla on sitting up. He is now sitting for a minute or so by himself before he falls over. Because of his lack of vision he is delayed in some areas.
He says mama and dadadada but he still doesn't know that he is saying our names. He is a big time talker. He is eating lots of different foods. This week we moved him up to stage 3 baby foods to get him used to chunky food and help him learn to chew. He's not liking it much but the doctor said to keep trying. He is so over formula. It's like pulling teeth to get him to drink. We introduced the sippy cup to him and he is doing great holding it but isn't too sure about the drinking part.

He gets more and more fun everyday. He talks so much and sings. He makes funny faces and makes us laugh. We can't believe that he will be a year in 3 months. Where does the time go???

He loves to chew on celery. 

Time with Great Grandma and Grandpa

This weekend Jake spend a lot of time with his Great Grandma and Grandpa Anthony. Friday night they came over and watched him while we went to dinner and then on Sunday Jake went over to their house. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for watching Jake. He loved it!!!

Happy Birthday!

Friday night B and I went out to dinner at Akita with the girls for Sonja's B-day. It was SOOOOOO yummy. Here are some pictures from the night.

My dinner. All you can eat sushi. I ordered too much and cheated and took home left overs. Shhhhhh

Brent's much needed drink

Stay tuned

Stay tuned.... Tomorrow I promise for an interesting post...

Or at least I will try..

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Happy Friday

I'm blogging now because I forgot to all day and if I don't now I will forget and miss yet another day. B and I are off to dinner with most of my bff's and their significant others for Sonja's B-day. We are going to Akita which is an all you can eat sushi bar. I love love love sushi but B has never had it so I'm not sure how it will go. My Grandma is watching the baby for the first time and I know that she is excited. Too bad B has to work at 4 am tomorrow morning or we could really enjoy our night. Can you believe that he has to work Saturday and Sunday 12 hours and then back to work Monday-Friday 12 hours. That is like 12 days in a row that he will work at 12 hours each day. I feel sooooo bad for him.

Gotta love a hard working Dad.

See ya

TFT-Skin Care

As we get older it gets more and more important to take care of our skin. I wish that it was instilled in me as a child that proper skin care is soooo important. I maybe would have avoided the tanning beds and sun more. As I get older I notice that my skin is in need of improvement. I still have scars from my bad skin that I had when I was younger.


I am still wrinkle free for now but I know that I need to start a skin care regiment. As of right now I have NONE. I go to bed without washing my face and I know that is gross but it’s the truth. I want to get a good skin care line but they are so expensive and who knows what will work and what is a waste of money.

So my question for you all is

What is your skin care regiment?
What products do you use?
What has worked for you and what hasn’t?
