Area 51

There's only 1 more week and 1 day until my baby is one! I'm preparing a big Noah's Ark themed birthday party and am so excited to celebrate Anias' first year!

 Week 50:
I had my second ear infection and let everyone know it. I've been standing for longer periods of time, but I get upset when mom or dad tries to get me to walk. I will do it on my own time mom! I say mama, dadda, Anias, hi, this, and Josh. I like to sing and play with blocks. I constantly pull brother's hair and laugh when he says "ouch!". I like to destroy Eli's train tracks. I took my first TWO steps on 8/27.

Week 51:
I snatched mom's keys and tried to unlock the door to go for a walk. When I realized I was too short I threw a major fit. I also do my very best to open the baby gates on the stairs. I said ba-bye for the first time and will go "ahhhh" on demand and ask mom to go "ahh" too so I can check her teeth. I do my best to type on mom's keyboard and I fight with brother constantly. I want whatever he has and vice versa. I'll climb over to mom and push Eli off her lap just so she can be all mine.
Eli:
I told mom I want to be the man with the yellow hat for Halloween, even after she tried to talk me into being a dragon or a fireman. I told her no, I want to be baby's friend (with Anias being Curious George). I like to spread mom's hair out and use it as a comfy pillow during nap time. I got super concerned about a warning sign I saw at Hoppity Hop that depicted a broken bone and proceeded to tell everyone not to break their bones. I also informed mom that clowns have round bones. I told mom I want to sing, play the guitar, play the piano, AND play drums. I was looking at old pictures and told mom, "look! There's mosquito!" (meaning Chikito) and I laughed at "that girl's" picture (mom). I told mom "This is the bestest banana bread ever! It's just for us NOT for snakes." I had a dream that Aunt Shiree and my cousins came to visit and proceeded to ask her why she woke me up with her loud noises downstairs and why she left instead of staying at our house. I told a sweet elderly woman "sorry old man!" when I almost hit her with my bike and I spit into my smoothie to "fill it back up" (gross!). I got in trouble for asking dad why he was "stupid mad".

Tuesday Tips

This week’s focus is…         MENU Oh how I love food. After you’ve come up with your theme and your décor, it seems (at least to me) for the menu to come along naturally. I do have a few rules I try stick to. When I throw a party I generally like to have something crunchy you can snack on, something healthy(ish), something you could consider to be what I call “real food” aka something you would eat as part of a main meal, at least 2 drink options, and something deliciously sweet. Although I try to have some of the food options be theme-specific, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. People might remember if your food was theme specific, but they’re definitely going to remember if your food was delicious. Don’t feel like you can’t make some of your favorite staples for a party! Make food you would like to eat- especially if you’re hosting. You might just have leftovers. If you’re staple food is steak, or something equally expensive or equally larg...

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...

Nerd, Nerd, Nerd, Nerd is the Word

I really want to throw a nerd party! How fun would that be? If my husband was into parties I might would just throw him a nerd party for his birthday. He’s not a Screech type of nerd, but he does like to game and is into computers and gadgets. I’m definitely having trouble coming up with a catchy name for the invitations, but you know I’m ready for the food! I think I would start out with a periodic table cloth on the food table to set the stage. Much like this one from Learning beyond the books. Then I’d definitely bake a nice pi pie like this one from Bot Pie . Then I would pick and choose from some of theses ideas. Love the Jell-O Legos The Joys of Jello did! These cupcake stencils and cakelet pans from Williams Sonoma are so cool too! And who could forget drinks? Harry Potter Butterbeer anyone? As far as décor goes- I think these removable Mario wall stickers would be a nice addition, and these Star Wars (Lego) glow sticks could be fun favors. This is definitel...
