My little guy is one year old!!

So big!

 He wasn't too sure about the chalkboard sign...

 He was NOT happy about the balloon popping.

 But he was happy once we got home!

 Yay for birthday!

 Mama trying to make a design in sprinkles on the cake... mama failed.

 "look at my cake"

 Him laughing cuz we want him to eat it

 yayay....?

 

 What is that?!

 Oh it's gooey!

 It's what? Frosting?

Run away!

 Time for presents.

 New haircut!

 "gimme a kiss!"

 Oreo!

  I bought brand new plungers and Danger played with them and even broke one.

 Pi pie!

This little man is such a blessing! He has been absolutely wonderful! He always seems to be cutting teeth. He's cranky and lately he's been sick. But even tho he's been hurting and sick, he's happy and smiling. He's playful and cute. One of my favorite things about him : when we're shopping, he's talking to me and squawking but NOT crying. He's usually the only baby who isn't crying. I love it. He's such a happy guy.

11 months

So, I've decided to start where I left off. Now I didn't take an 11 month photo of little man, but I've got some Halloween pics of him that are pretty darn cute.

 So I've been trying this new thing of getting myself in the pictures I take of Danger. I read some article about getting Mama in the Picture. I remember seeing pictures of my mom in my pictures growing up and I want to be in my kids' pictures while they are growing up (no matter how I think I look...). 

 It helps that Danger is so darn cute, and it's fun to be in pictures with him. He's such a little goofball! 

 A friend of mine entered a House Party, she was picked for a Fisher Price House Party. FP sent her all kinds of toys and she invited all the moms with kids she knew! It was so much fun. Danger had so much fun throwing balls around and putting them down the tubes.

 Our little monkey loves eating big boy food. He loves picking up food and sticking it in his own mouth. He eats toast every morning, he can eat 2 hot dogs in one lunch time. He is such a hungry little guy! He LOVES food!

 I just love taking pics with this little cutie!

 Shark had a LifeProof case on his phone, and he was biting it while Danger played with it. Well, Danger wasn't all that happy with Dad just biting it. He got in on the action. My boys are so cute.

Little boy loves baths. He loves splashing in the water and playing! He's so darn cute, that naked boy!

It's-a me, Mario!

 Danger with cousins, B & W.

 Playing with the pumpkins before we carve them!

 And then we got a freaking ton of snow right before his birthday/on his birthday!

  He got a practice cupcake, so he could dive right into his birthday cake. 

He didn't dive into the cupcake, all the frosting on his face is from me or Gingr sticking our finger in the cupcake and then in his mouth. He wasn't too impressed.

Watching this little guy get bigger has seriously been a blast. I love him! He has his own little personality and it has been so much fun to discover it! He's such a little knucklehead. He hams it up for the camera and smiles so big and wide. He walks around just chuckling to himself and squawking. He crashes his little scooter cars into walls and into shelves and when he's bored he'll bonk heads with me while we shop. He's such a goofball! Such a wonderful, beautiful personality! 

Trying new things

So December is the month where I figure out my plans for next year. I mean most of my Christmas presents are done so what else am I going to do? (Well, Danger is cutting front molars [eek!] and he's got a cold, so I've been a little busy...) so I'm getting plans and goals ready.

My 101 in 1001 is up in like 51 days (I'm pretty far but there some things on the list that won't be checked off.) and so I'm trying to get another list (more obtainable things but still challenges). I'm still working on it, I haven't given up yet.

One thing I want to do is get back to my pre-baby weight. Or as close to it as I can. I got a gym membership (although my gym is still being built...) and I have a plan to go 3 times a week. I've got the motivation!!! Now open my gym! I've been doing exercises every night. So I'm already working on it!!

I'm also thinking of getting a pedometer (Shark has one somewhere I think) and keeping tabs of the steps I take. And keep an average. I don't walk very much, but I want too.

I found this info : Men: The men in the survey took an average of 7192 steps per day.

Women: The women in the survey took an average of 5210 step per day. (source)

So we'll just have to see how I do.

Love to all!
(Also, one of these days I'll post lots of pictures and updates of little man!)

Long time no see

So this post won't have pictures, as I'm writing it from my phone. But you can bet that I'm going to do a follow-up photo dump (hopefully) this weekend.

Well, I last wrote that I was going on vacation. I had a great time. I was super nervous leaving my little man. It was the first time I'd really been apart from him for longer than a night! But I got to call and check in. :) The cruise was amazing. It reminded me of our honeymoon cruise. And also made me realize, cruises are the way to go and we need to plan another one!

I didn't take pictures but my mom did and once she sends me some I'll post them.

Well I've been back for a while and I got right into the swing of Halloween! I decorated my table and made a monster wreath. Danger went as little Mario, Shark as Capt. Hammer and I went as Penny, his girlfriend. My Ginger sister went as a mermaid, of course. Not Ariel, but a mermaid nonetheless!

I had a heart check up. The echo tech had questions about my heart cuz he'd never seen or heard of my procedure so he was all like "oh wow!" Yup. When people see my heart, they go "oh wow!" We're all go tho, no change from a year ago. The kid hasn't given me a heart attack yet (mom says that'll happen later.)

Shark bought a new gun. A Judge. He might have to tell you about it. All I know is it's a revolver pistol that shoots mini shotgun shells. Yup.

I have all of my Christmas shopping done!now I just need to make it all! I didn't pick anything too hard, it's just the quantity!! Naw I'm not worried. I'm excited for Christmas but I'm totally ok with waiting. Sharks disagrees.

I'm excited for Thanksgiving!!! Woot woot! I love turkey day so much! And this year Danger will totally be able to eat his little heart out too! (As of 2006, 20% of Americans have eaten an entire pie....)

So he's got 6 teeth, 3 on top, 3 on bottom. He bites HARD and loves food! He's not such a fan of the purée anymore but he'll eat it. He loves toast and grapes. Still loves pickles. Loves pineapple and those little oyster crackers.

He can say "please" and "more" using sign. We're still working on him doing it on his own or the first time suggested. He gets impatient. Especially if its something he loves, like toast, he kicks his little feet and leans! But he knows those words.

And today, he decided he's going to walk. He's been able to take up to 3 steps at a time up till now. Today he walked across the living room, kitchen, laundry room, and our room. He's a walking monster now. He was really stingy with his steps before this. It's like the stairs, one day he just looked at the stairs and said "it's go time" and crawled up them. Today he decided to be awesome and started walking. :)

Also, since my little man turns 1 in a week (6 days now!!!!!) I've decided I'd kinda like to ease him onto the sugar. Instead of just crash into it in the form of frosted goodness. So I've been giving him sugar, and he's had Ice cream. He loves ice cream, hates the cold. So yeah.... We'll see.

Well it's late and I'm tired. I know if I didn't post today it wouldn't get done for another week. So ta da!!

Love you all!
