Big Boy Noah

Noah hasn't wet his pull-up all week so I thought we would try without last night. No accidents! Yay!! So today we went to Wal-Mart and my big boy got a new set of big boy pajamas :) He picked them out himself. He had a hard time choosing between the Hulk, Batman, and Transformers but ultimately Transformers won because he acquired 2 Transformer toys from Heather's house and has been carrying them around for 2 days now. They take baths together, play in the sandbox together, watch TV together, go to the bathroom together... everything. Right now he's pacing the house calling out "transformers, transforrrrrmerrrs" I guess he lost them. Don't worry, he found them. We also got a new winter coat that's 2 coats in one and some warm sweatpants to wear at night.

When I got home from the doctor yesterday, sonogram picture in hand, I asked Noah if he wanted to see a picture of the new baby. He got SO EXCITED!! I wish I had a video. He said "YOU GOT A PICTURE OF THE BABY IN YOUR TUMMY?!" and he looked at it like he understood what he was seeing haha. It was precious. Every day I hear how he's going to be a big brother again (and a soccer player and a super hero). Apparently we're having a girl, a sister, like Mommy and she's going to get tall and then be a Mommy too!! This is all very exciting to Noah... so exciting that it bears repeating at least 3 times a day.

We had to get Noah some big kid body wash because he stinks like a real boy now. My pregnant nose couldn't take it anymore! He also has new taste in movies. He loves the Incredibles (which used to bore him), Agent Cody Banks (his spy movie), and Sky High (his super hero movie). Those last 2 are movies with actual actors in them, not cartoons :O He's getting so big :/

It's been raining all day, which to Noah means that he is supposed to play outside in his new winter coat. I'm fine with that as long as he doesn't get carried away and start rolling around in the mud, which he didn't. After a nice romp in the cold wet nasty backyard I coaxed him back inside with the promise of Halloween sugar cookies and hot chocolate. I love hot chocolate when it's raining and chilly. I used to love hot chocolate when it's snowing, but I haven't been around snow in forever so we made a compromise ;) Now his Transformers are drinking his hot chocolate and he's sying "any time now!". I guess they're taking too long... or maybe I am. OK well I am going to enjoy some more Mommy/Noah time before Tristan wakes up. HAHAHA he just ran into the bathroom and said "super poop!! I'm super pooping!" and he said it in this Kermity voice. He's so crazy!

Eww the whole big boy smell scares me. I have been hearing about that smell for years from friends that have boys. Guess they just cant be covered up in lotion like little girls can and get away with it! Please inform me of what else i need to know about boys.

WOW! Noah is so smart! I even told Annie the other day that I know how far behind my son is when I read what Noah does and now that he doesn't need his pullups anymore. Jr. is soooo lazy that he still doesn't want to go, I have to put a timer for every 30 minutes. About your hot chocolate I love hot chocolate too, it's not like I will ever see snow over here but I can enjoy it during the winter time. hehe... I hope you really do get to have a girl this time if not there's another time. :)

That is great Noah! How exciting for him to get to go & pick out a prize for all this :) I think it's a great idea to reward big milestones like that. It makes them feel accomplished & proud of themselves.

I still use baby wash on Ava even in her hair. Her hair is getting so long I need some kind of detangler! I think 3/4 is when they really start seeming like big kids :)

Go Noah! That is so excited when you know the potty process is nearing an end. I used to love Transformers b/c of my brother haha. I liked all those "boy" toys b/c of him. I even watched GI Joe when I ate breakfast before highschool..yeah. haha. I'm glad Noah is ajusting well to becoming a big brother again. Haley likes to talk to the baby through my bell button and pretend she's kicking all the time haha.

Wow, I just still can't believe I knew pre-noah allie. I mean I knew him as little bean in the belly and now here he is watching super-hero movies! I am so sad I didn't get to see him a few times as he got older. He is amazing.

LOL! God I love him. I can't wait to see you guys next month! :D :D

And I'm so excited that y'all are having a GIRL!! It must be true if Noah knew it. Remember when he randomly said there was a boy in your tummy? :)

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...
