24 weeks.

Today I am 24 weeks pregnant with number 2! Here is the new belly shot!

Breathing a little easier

Noah and I have now both been vaccinated against H1N1. The virus has been hitting pretty hard in our area so I was a little nervous about Noah getting sick, but now we can breath a little easier here. Now if Brandon could just get his before Eli comes...

A sad farewell.

Noah has out grown his morning nap. After not napping really at all until he was about 6 month old...I was really enjoying the 2 2hour naps a day. I was using the first nap to get all the housework done, and then enjoying the afternoon nap with some "mommy time" (which usually was just me sitting on the couch for 2 hours). But the past week he has been doing just one mid day nap. Oh well...it was nice while it lasted.

First Haircut

Noah got his very first haircut this week. He was such a good boy and didn't fuss or squirm a bit. We took him to Brandon's barber and he did a great job. He is just so handsome!

Cousin Love

Noah is still not quite sure what to think of baby Samantha. He really does not show much interest in her unless Mommy or Grandma are holding her...then he gets mad. But this past weekend we did some Halloween pictures of them together and he seemed much more curious about her while she was in costume.

Well CRAP!

Both our vehicles were broken into last night. They obviously didn't know what they were doing because they left all of Brandon's expensive work tools (thank goodness!)....but they stole his cup of change and 20 bucks he had in there. I unfortunately did not get off as lucky as they got my cell phone, GPS system and I my $25 emergency money in there too (they also took a candy bar which again is hilarious). The police were really nice, but didn't offer much hope and I really didn't expect it. They did tell me that there was a string of car break-ins overnight which is good for us as the police will put more resources into the case than they would if it was just an isolated incident. I am not counting on getting anything back though. We are just hoping that whoever did it was dumb enough to make a personal call on the phone.

On a positive note...check out how cute Noah is in his monster Halloween costume!

Samantha Kaitlyn Mize

I am an aunt!!! Jennifer gave birth this morning to a healthy baby girl. She was 7lbs 1oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Congrats to the new mommy and daddy!

My "shut up" flowers

These are the beautiful roses Brandon brought home last night. When I asked what the occasion was he told me they were so I would "stop complaining and shut up about it". The man has a way with words (of course before you get your panties in a bunch you have to know Brandon to appreciate his sense of humor). But honestly he should know me better than to think this will actually work...if he really wanted me to pipe down he should have brought home chocolates.

Noah walking

Noah took his first steps about a month ago and has been improving his skills since. He is getting pretty darn good at it now!

Pumpkin patch

Noah had his first experience at the pumpkin patch today! Every year I go with Brandon's family, but this year was so much fun with Noah. It was a bit chilly, but Noah loved it! He was definitely taking everything in. He seemed to especially enjoy the hayrack ride, seeing the farm animals, and picking out his very own pumpkin to take home.
