Merry Christmas 7 month Old...

Merry Christmas! My little Noni's First Christmas was Spent by Grandma and Grandpa... he was up all morning... and by the time Fer and the Girls were down.... he was sleeping and had missed most of the gift opening!

But when you really think about it... I would take a happy well rested baby over the couple of pictures we got of him on that day.... the outfit was a 3-6 months.... but I sqeezed him in it for the day.... When else will he wear a baby's First Christmas sleeper

Noni In a blanket....

What is that???

Not just once...

Or Twice...

Three time....

And he is out!

I watched him Grab the end of the blanket and roll..... by the time I got over there to unroll him he had rolled 4 times.... and he was stuck in the blanket..... He wan't crying and when I got him out all he did was laugh.... Silly boy....

6 Months check up

Little Noni has gotten pretty BIG!!!
he is 27.5 Inches (75th%)
19.6 Lbs (75%) cuz he is a little chunka!
Everything looked really good..... and everything seems to be on track

Still crabby

Today was round two of the crabbiest boy ever. He cried and grunted, he wouldn't eat, he wouldn't sleep. So when it was Bath time Gil stripped him down and let him roll around on the floor for a while. Well I guess that is what he needed all along because he had the time of his life; and on the plus side he only peed once! The bath time came and he was pissed he once again would not go to sleep! What is the trick to get him to go to sleep?

My boy.... the crab apple

I have no idea what is wrong with my little boy, But man has he been CRABBY, this grunting thing that he does drives me up the wall. He won't sleep. He always want to be fed. I am tired....

Uncle Steven's Birthday

My brother is 18!!!! I still remember him running around the front yard in his Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Costume.... kicking and jumping around.... But if he asks you I never wrote anything about him karate kicking in the front yard. When did everyone grow up? Time is going by to quickly, look my mom's little boy is all grown up... What do you think my chances are for keeping Noni little? I already think he is to big!

My baby is six months old

My Baby boy is 6 months today... (and it is Thanksgiving) I can not believe how big he is! He is almost 1... I just can not grasp it. Don't mind the "Duh" look on my brother's face but this was the clearest of the both of them. It was a really Great day. Noni was pretty good all day, He didn't do that grunting thing that he usually does for me, so everyone just went on thinking that he doesn't make a peep. My Grandma couldn't believe how big he had gotten, I am with him everyday and I still don't believe how big he has gotten. Even the girls had a good time with him. We caught Lulee playing nicely with Noni, and they both were have the best time!

Thank God!

The Doctor's visit went really well... the doctor said that he can't hear the murmur anymore but that it is very rare that the hole would closes that quickly. We have to go back in 6 months to check everything again....but for now thing seem really really good. My little man is 18lbs 11oz and 27 inches long. He only gained a pound in 2 months... Gil could of swore that he was over 20lbs. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers... It looks like they worked!!!

The Big Day

Today is a big day..... We are taking Jovani to Children's Hospital for his Eco cardiogram, to see if the hole in his heart has closed... it is very excited... and I am very nervous...I don't like it when I don't know where I am going to what is going to happen. It makes for a very nervous mommy. And Gil is little help, because if I am lost then he is.... more than lost... I don't think that there is even a word for it. I just want everything to turn out and for him to be done with this! I mean come on look at that little chub! He hardly fits in his seat any more!!! He looks like a little burn marshmellow...Cross your fingers for us!!! Let hope for a good day!!

What Babies Find Fun

It is crazy what babies find amusing. If anything has a tag on it that is what he grabs it by. His secerity blanket, toys, even this chair that I feed him in for the time being. He loves Tags.... He is odd... but that is only another reason why I love him.

Jovani's Game

Jovani has this game he plays, that at first glance would scare the crap out of anyone! Noni likes to play with his clothes, burp rags, blankets, really anything he can fling over his head. So you think oh that is nice.... but that is only the begining... once he fling whatever it is over his head it usually land on his face, and to the untrained eye it would look like he is freaking out. He throws his hands in the air and shakes them, like he is scared. Now Gil and I would always rush right over and remove whatever it was that he hand flung on his face. He even dose this with his crinkle book! So one day he was playing on the floor and I look and he has his blankie on his face, and I was rushing over, he took it off to see where I was, and why I had not taken it off for him yet, when he saw me he flung it back over his head, I sat there and watched and he removed and flung it over his head, over and over again.... He thinks it is funny when we take whatever it is off of his head. So we waited for daddy to come home, when he did I put Jovani back on the floor and he did it again... and I told Gil to watch him... sure enough he did the same thing.... Now it is his favorite thing to do... and he does it all day!

Noni's First Snow

It snowed here for the first time today.... As soon as I saw it, I gabbed Noni put him in his snowsuit and brought him outside, so that he could see it. He probably didn't know what I was trying to show him, but I was excited. My son's first snow fall.... none of it stuck.... but it was still a great feeling!

another day of pain

i still hurt... poor noni.... mommy wasn't good at playing today. Although the both of playing on the floor had him laughing for a while.... I have no pic I have no story.... pretty much I lay here... although I did get my other med... so life is pretty good

OWIE

Mommy pulled a muscle in her back today, and it really really hurt! The nice doctor at the Hospital gave her a shot of something, that numbed her arm, not her back, and gave her some wonderful pill to take to make her all better. Walgreens however said that mommy's insurance wouldn't cover one of the wonderful muscle relaxers... Mommy was sad... They said to come back tomorrow to get a different prescription... Mommy then went home to lay on the sofa with a heating pad until, tomorrow, when the insurance company talk to the Doctor and the Doctor calls Walgreens!

Noni's Tummy Bath

With Noni Loving to roll I am always afraid that he is going to roll over in the tub and suck in water... But after days of holding him so that he doesn't roll I flipped him over to see what he would do... but I did empty most of the water out of the tub so that it wasn't so easy for him to suck up water. Well...He just loved it!!! he could finally play with the duck that I have in the tub without mommy yelling "Noni... NO ROLLING IN THE TUB!!!" He had a blast until he put his head down and got water on his face... good thing mom was right there to pull him out!

My Happy Drooler

My happy little drooler; bubbles and bubbles of spit just roll out of his mouth, but he couldn't be happier. Daily I am covered with drool or puke, and on those really great days.. a bit of poop... did you ever have one of those days where you can smell poop and you don't know where it is coming from... I washed my hands 6 times the other day.. and still couldn't figure out where it was... The joy of motherhood... it all doesn't matter when you look at that little face...

The Boys Playing

Gil and Noni were playing on the floor.... well maybe play is to strong of a word, it was more like Gil was playing on the floor. My poor little boy had the joy of his father piled stuffed animals on his head. I don't know how much fun Noni was actually having but Gil was having a ball, no doubt about it. This just goes to show that I actually have two children not a fiance and a baby! Who would of know that my baby would be getting picked on by his dad! Gil better watch out... Noni might be small.... but he has his own arsenal.... POOP!

Our Day OUT

Jovani and I hardly ever get out of the house, unless you count wal-mart... and then that is almost daily! So Today we actually had plans... things to get done! First we had to go by my sister and So I could try and fix her computer...I think I might have messed it up more... oops... something is wrong with the computer.... then the girls played with Noni... the hugging, the kiss sing, and the poking in the eyes... lol.... then we were off to the mall to meet Stef with her little girl Lelia just for a walk around the mall and a quick catch up since we don't see each EVER!!! Lelia had a long day and was tired... but that did not detract from her adorableness...(yes I don't think that that is a word... but she was just that adorable!) Stef's sister was there with her little girl who is noni's age she was also ADORABLE!!! Which really helped me put the perspective of how chubby Noni really is into view... lol... but who doesn't love chub though?

Roller Rolling Rolls, all over the floor

I know I have established that Jovani rolls... BUT my goodness can he ROLL. I don't even know how he get in some of the places that he does.... and we are not even talking about crawling yet! He can roll and then rotates to just about anything on the floor.... and what is it that he loves to roll to? Well he loves to be UNDER the coffee table, (how he gets his legs between a coffee table leg and gets stuck there is beyond me, because he got there in the first place.... HOW did he get in there in the first place?) and he loves to roll under his jumper (I believe he does that because the chicken-duck toy's legs hang down low and he can grab at them.) AND finally he loves to roll up to the entertainment center and pull my sleeve boxes for my friends DVDs off of the shelves! Plus he Never and I mean Never stay in the blanket that I put down for him! Now don't think that I just let him roll unsupervised... I usually sit and watch him do this.... (I always seem to miss the last step of getting caught under the coffee table part though) I figure he needs to explore and figure out about the world around him... and it will help with his crawling skills! Although I am not really sure about him growing up.... it is already happening to FAST!

Halloween Pictures

My mom sent My Jovani's Halloween Pictures today so I thought that I would post them to show how cute he is! That's right he is in a pile of candy, and NO he did not get any... the girls made quite a haul that day... people were giving out handfuls of candy. The Girls got a lot of chocolate... Noni and I walked with them... but there was no way we were bringing any of that home! Trust me... mommy doesn't need and more candy... Daddy doesn't need any candy... and I don't even want Noni to know what candy is until he is 10! I wonder if I can convince him it tastes bad until that time? Kids go crazy when they are on sugar... I just don't think that hyper works for me... lol

Where did the sleep go?

The last couple of days have sucked? I don't know if it is because of the time change or what, but Noni just has not gotten a good nights sleep! he gets a good 3 to 4 hous in and then it is back to every hour or so... It just sucks! What happened to my little boy that sleeps so good? Plus I got this horrible head cold today... I sneeze all of the time... my nose is always running and it hurts so bad cuz it is dry, and my head just pounds...I can take it... I just don't want Noni to get it...

All bundled and ready to go!

It has been extremely windy these last two day... and unfortunately I had to bring Noni outside yesterday, because we had no food in the house and I need to cash Gil's paycheck or we would have no money to buy food!!! lol... So since Noni's Bunting hasn't come yet (because it only has been a couple of days) I had to bundle him up! He has two tassels on his hat which I think looks funny under that hood but I couldn't chance him going out without it... It is the cutest hat.... doesn't i look like he is thinking "I am going to hold my breath until you get me out of here!!!" actually he has found a new fascination with sucking his bottom lip. He always has the bottom lip sucked in, usually it is sucked in a lot farther, I think it is because his bottom teeth are coming in. These days it is a lot harder to take a picture when he is smiling, because he throws his arms up an gets soooo excited! In the last picture, he is only kicking his feet... it turned out a bit better then the other smiling ones. As you can see he is getting to big for that car seat. I can't believe he has cotten so big so fast. We will very very shortly need a new car seat becuase he will be over the weight limit. I just can't imagin him in another seat, he is growing up way to fast...

always looking at me

Don't get me wrong I love my little man and I love that I get all of his attention.... but he never stops looking at me. I give him to Gil at night and he sings to him and makes him dance and he looks at me... I put him down anywhere and he searches for me.... I give him to anyone and he will stare at the door until I come back in... he is just so darn cute! he looks like such a little man... I just love him!

I won!

I won the bunting for NONI... I sat at my computer like a hawk for a hour before the auction ended, and some lady tried to steal it from me at the last seconds.... but that wasn't going to happen, I was going to win it no matter what. My bid was at $2.25 until the last 30 seconds when I saw it go up to $2.75... and then I knew someone was trying to out bid me. so I upped my max bid from $5 to $10 and then I saw the bed go up again to $5.55 and at the last second it went up again... I finally won it at $6.05, of course plus the shipping of $7, which I think is a little high... but it only cost me a total of $13.05 which is still cheaper than anything out right now... and I love this one so, I think it is a good buy! Other than that we didn't do a lot today, Noni has been crabby again and only wants to be held... but you have to be standing or he cries! I left Gil to tend to him today which means there was a bottle in his mouth for most of the day. I believe his crabbiness is due to him teething... i am so sick of it already and the first one hasn't come through yet! but the bump on his lower gums is getting bigger, so any day now it can come in!!!! I cleaned our bedroom... more like I clean out our closet. Plus I did all of the laundry except for one load... because it takes for ever to wash in our apartment building with there only being one washer and dryer, with the dryer taking and hour and a half to dry each load ($1.50!!!) I figure I will try and do that tomorrow!

bunting for Noni

I have been looking for a snow suit for noni, I have been searching on ebay because I can't find one in the store at all... or they all have winnie the pooh on them... which I don't like either... I want a bunting one... the one that doesn't have any legs. For weeks I have been calling it the one that looks like a bag until my mom finally told me that it was called a bunting.... Anyway I finally found one that I love!!!

It is a bunting, and a Jacket all in one.... with mittens!!! I want it sooooo bad... the auction ends today in five hours.... it is still at $0.99 but I am afraid thatif I bid now they will out bid me so I am going to wait until the end to hopefully get it as cheap as possible!!! It is dark blue and it will so go with his little hat that I already bought him... it is 6-9 months and I am afraid that it might not fit all winter since he seems to be a little chunck lately.... but then again.... I don't care.... it is cute and it should fit for most of the winter...

I hope I get it!

Day Two

Gil went to manitowoc tonight and so noni and I stayed home... mostly because I wanted to stay home and Gil is not ready to take Noni on his own..... and I don't trust him all alone with Noni yet.... So we (as in I) had some chinese food and it was a pretty good night at home! Noni has been sleeping since 8:30 so I should probably be in bed myself! Iam sure that that is where I will be heading there very very shortly!
Noni my little man is already in 6-9 months clothes... well some of them... I am to sad to see his 3-6 moths clothes go... I have been squeezing him in them, but it is time to pack some of them away although I would perfer if he stayed little.... my little baby.... how did he get so big!!!!???
Gil took the Camera cuz it is Rodolpho's birthday! So again no pics today! Anyway.... I think it is time for bed!
Good night all!

positng every day in November!!!

That is right is nation bloging month and It says that you should post everyday for the whole month of November!
i went trick or treating with jennifer and the Girls yesterday! it was fun but cold! the girls got a lot of candy..... Noni was tired so he didn't leavt the stroller.. plus it was way to cold for him! anyway it was a lot of fun! I have a picture of Noni in a bunch of candy but my camera was too dark for the pic to show up so Fer and mom took some pic so when they send me them I will post them!
anyway i hope everyone had a happy holloween!

Stupid blogger

I am way behind on posting on my wonderful world due to a blogger problem everytimeI post or try to up load a picture I get an error message.... all of time when I upload a pic.... some of the time when I try to post, and so far that have not found a soild fix for the problem so I get to wait it out... I will keep trying and once it is up and running you will see a bunch of back posts pop up!

My son the finger sucker

We went down by my mom and I got some prime pictures of my little man and his fingers!That is right, my son loves his fingers. Usually he puts just the two fingers in his mouth, but he also put his whole hand or even tries for both hands. But his favorite is just the two. He is so funny, I can just hear him slurping... and the I know he has those fingers in his mouth, Or he will stick them all the way in his mouth and he will choke... then you will hear me say "be careful noni!" but he will always put those fingers back in his mouth....he is just to cute...

My 5 month old baby!

My Little My is five months old, I can not believe it! Time is just flying by... can't I just put him in a jar or something... make him stop.... Anyway every night Noni takes a bath and every night we have to look at the baby in the mirror so I thought that for his 5 month old blog I thought that we would take a picture of the baby in the mirror... the funny thing is that when I take a picture my camera makes this clicking sound and I usually hold the button down so that I will get one picture of him that I can actually use... anyway... so the camera makes a lot of clicky noises... and every time I tried to take a picture of him he would notice the noise and he would then look at my camera instead of the baby... it was so cute! So you can now see him looking at the baby... and then realising that the camera is next to his head. Silly boy. Anyway... there he is my little man.... my little man that is 5 months old....

Where is my Momma

Every time I go into the kitchen I turn around and guess who is looking at me? That is Right my little man... He constantly has to look where I am going... my favorite is when he is looking behind him... he will turn the top half of him all the way around and rest his head on the side and look at me... It is soooooo cute! he can turn around both ways and do this... although most of the time he looks like this. As you can see he still loves his jumperoo... he is in it every day!!! Some days more than others.

Crazy daddy

So I try to tell Gil that he is on the Phone way to much and that he needs to pay more attention to us... and he always tells me that I am crazy... he is only on the phone for a minute... At night when he comes home we have maybe 2 hours before he goes off to bed and most nights Noni and I stare at him as he shouts into the phone.... why the person on the other end can't hear him is beyond me because I am pretty sure the rest of the apartment building can hear him. Anyway this is A picture of him caught in the act and yes, your eyes are not playing tricks on you... he is talking on TWO phones at once... He didn't even realize that I was taking picture of him... He is talking on my phone and his while watching some stupid show in the Spanish channel. Anyway I just wanted to show the rest of the world that I am not crazy and that he talks on the phone way to much... and I have proof! (don't mind the messy kitchen in the background... if I only knew how to photo shop a clean one back there I would... it would be a lot easier to do that then actually clean it!)

Morning Routine

Morning routine is pretty much the same every morning... Noni gets up at 3 or 4 in the morning (usually not always) that is when we hit the sofa! He will then fall asleep again and stay sleeping until about 5 or 6am then I change him, and then he jumps for about an hour... in that time he usually poops... and then it is back on the sofa for another hour or so... the we eat oatmeal, with whatever fruit is on the agenda. Then we either change another poop, play on the floor, or back to the jumper... that would bring us to about 10am. Sounds fun doesn't it?
As you can see it is still dark outside and my little man is playing.... I would try to hold off on our night time routine but once it hits 8 he is a bear... so it is a quick bath and a bottle and he is out like a light.... I don't want to screw that up!!! Then he typically only waked up at 11 or 12 and then I give him a nuk and he more times than not settles himself back to sleep. That is life.... or at least ours!!!

We Just love to play!

Noni Just LOVES to play... and now that he likes being on his tummy... playing is more fun than ever... he rolls all over the floor... mostly in one direction.... but it is still cute. He loves playing with the book that he has in his hand because it makes this crinkle sound... which for some reason he loves.... It has really cute chew tabs on the ends of each page with different colors... but he hasn't figured them out yet... I am sure that he will love it even more once he figures out he can chew on them! He also Loves his momma fish... there are baby fish that go inside of her... but he likes the momma fish the most... he tried to get his mouth, and then he gets mad because it is obviously way to big to put in his mouth... he does have a good time batting it around though.

Eaten Sweet Potatoes

For about a month now, My little man has been working on some real food (or baby food....) ! We started with just cereal.... which he did really good at.... a week later we added some carrots... a week after that we are on sweet Potatoes!!!! He loves the veggies and spits out the cereal unless I mix them together. Anyway we have a lot of fun now that he knows what it is all about. I can't believe he is growing up so fast! The pictures Gil took tonight are all blurry... Unfortunately this was the clearest one out of the bunch... I am going to have to teach that man how to use a camera....

The Night Time Roller

So Noni now has gotten a lot better at rolling... infact he rolls when he doesn't want to.... now you might ask.... well how does he do that? Last night He was on his right side sleeping when he usually sleeps on this left side (He rolls that way when I put him down) Thinking this was completely odd.... but much to tired to really care.... knowing as soon as I touch ANYTHING around him he immediately wakes up! So I went to bed and 10 or so minutes later.... I hear him crying... I go in there and he is on his stomach and HE IS PISSED!!!! So I roll him back, put the Nuk in his mouth, and walk to the corner of the room so he can't see me. (If I wait by his crib he will watch me...) He had no intrest in going back to sleep... so I sat next to his crib... nope... so finally and hour later I made him a bottle and he went back to bed.... to find him this morning CRYING again.... yep he was back on his belly....
So I put my pumpkin to bed tonight, I could hear that he was up, but I thought If I gave him a little time, he would dose back off to sleep. NOPE..... he started crying again.... on his belly....
Now I know he knows how to roll back... since when he first started rolling he rolled from his tummy to his back... NOW he gets on his Belly and he is pissed!
Ah the life of motherhood... i am tired and yet I have time to yammer on, on how Noni ROLLS

Helping Momma

I was putting my wash away... and I put Noni on the bed with the hangers and before I knew it... he had the hangers... It was so cute, because he tried to suck on them but they are so oddly shaped that how do you get a hanger in your mouth? Anyway I thought it was pretty cute... but really what does he do that I don't think is cute is beyond me...
