Busy weekends and a dramatic week

At the end of last week, Noah was really not feeling well. There has been a lot of sickness going around daycare, so I think he caught a bug or two. He even had a fever but perked back up with a little bit of motrin. He's such a trooper.

My parents got into town after the kids went to bed on Friday night. Noah was super excited to have Grammy and Papa here when he woke up...





They came to babysit for us pretty much all day on Saturday and to have our last Christmas celebration with my mom's side of the family so we were glad to see them, too!
Saturday, Waylon went to his parents house to work on my car with his dad. I was helping to throw a baby shower for my friend, Megan, who is expecting a baby boy in late February. Waylon left at 9 and I left at 11 and we didn't get home until 5:00.
My parents took this picture of Noah after he woke up from his nap on Saturday. He still wasn't feeling up to par and looked like he slept really hard! :-)



The shower was really nice and we can't wait for Ryan to join us on the outside! :-)

Like I said, Waylon and I both got home around 5:00, hung out with the kids for a bit, freshened up and headed back out around 7:00 for our first outing alone since Kylie was born! We went out to a yummy sushi dinner with Megan and Dave, Megan and Jason, and Josh and Anise. It was so nice to get out with friends and have a nice long relaxing dinner! We were at the restaurant for 3 hours just talking and having a good time. So nice!!
Sunday morning, Waylon got up and made us all waffles with the new waffle maker we got for Christmas. Very yummy!



Around lunchtime, my mom, dad, Kylie and I headed over to Michael and Karen's house. Waylon and Noah stayed home so Noah could get in his nap - which ended up being 3 1/2 hours (obviously still not feeling 100%). They ended up missing the fabulous turkey dinner but had leftovers when they got there. It was so nice to visit with them for a while - my cousins, Katie and McCauley were there also (we all missed having Leah, Casey and Reeves there).

I had to bribe Noah with chocolate to put his sweater back on for this picture - we'd already changed him into his PJs to head home when we took this! :-)


This past week was an interesting one to say the least. Noah was quite the challenge in the evenings after school. We are chalking it up to him still getting over whatever he had/has and hoping that it will pass but we'll see. They told us at school that he's been acting normal, so we think he's just been tired. He's just had a lot of fits and also started an irrational fear of having water poured over his head when taking a bath!! He's been screaming bloody murder when we have to rinse his hair!! Not sure what's up with that cause he loves water usually - maybe it's time to get back to the pool. On Tuesday night, he woke up a few times - which hasn't happened in forever - and came into our room so upset and wouldn't calm down. We couldn't figure out what was wrong but he was so upset, he had to sleep in our bed with us (that hasn't happened in probably over a year!) until about 4am. We still don't know what that was about. I actually ended up getting him early from school on Wednesday just to let him nap at home so he could get a little more rest. He seemed a little better that evening and we're hoping he'll get back to 'normal' soon. :-)
A few pictures from out week...

Kylie has been doing great with tummy time.


She's really getting to the 'changing every day' phase. Each day she has a new little surprise for us. She rolled over a few times this week and today it was that Waylon was blowing rasberries at her and she was trying to mimic him. It was so cute and she did it many times! She loves being ticked and giggles. So adorable!


Watching her crazy big brother.



Here are a few funny pictures of Noah - we were just being silly


On Thursday and Friday, we had a few accidents - Noah fell off a chair while standing at the island and cut his lip pretty bad. Just one more notch to add to his stick! :-) On Friday, we had our first accident with Kylie - I thought we've done pretty well to go 3 months with her and a 2 1/2 year old and this is the first accident! :-) Anyway, she was in her bouncy seat on top of a picnic blanket (we were playing picnic in the kitchen with Noah). I had my back turned for a minute and Noah tried to pick up the blanket. The bouncy seat turned over and she bonked her head on the hardwood floor. I just heard a bang and looked over and she was face down on the ground with the bouncy seat on top of her! Noah felt so bad. She stopped crying pretty quickly and only had a red mark on the side of her forehead for a few hours so it was pretty minor luckily!


Friday night, Nana, Grandad, Andrea, Sean and Savannah came over for dinner. The kids had a great time playing as usual (and a few temper tantrums as usual!). :-) We ended the night with a double bubble bath. Notice his hair is not being washed! We decided not to even deal with the water over the head issue!

Saturday was a fun and busy day. Janet and I decided to give the older kids some one on one time with us moms and went out to a dog agility show that our neighbor, Mo, was participating in with his dogs, Chopper and Chloe. It was so cool to watch and the kids had a good time. We had a picnic in the back of the minivan before heading home for nap.

After a little rest, we had to wake Noah up for his nap to head to my friend Keri's triplets 1st birthday party! Abigail, Bethany, and Phoebe were so adorable and I can't believe it's already been a year!


Noah with their big sis, Lydia - this picture cracks me up!!! Keri said it looks like a prom picture! :-)
Noah is almost exactly 9 months younger than Lydia and Kylie is about 9 months younger than the triplets! It so cool that our kids are so close in age cause Keri and I have been friends since the 2nd grade! Now if only we could see each other more often!
Next up, a relaxing Sunday with dinner at Nana and Grandad's to round out the weekend!
