7 months

Wow I can't believe Noah is 7 months old already!!! Yesterday was the big day!! The whole sitting nicely to get his picture taken with the oh so crafy sign I now have to make because we need ink for the printer!! Is no longer working out so well!! I would rather be on the move!!


see what I mean?? LOL

so this one is the best one! LOL

He already has 6 teeth!! 4 on top 2 on the bottom! I think he is working on more because she is shoving his fingers in his mouth and chewing on everything!
He has now been through all his vegetables! And loved all of them!! Been through all 4 meats as well, and the only one he didn't care for much is the Ham. But he still ate it!! Just yesterday he started on his fruits. Pears, of course loves them! He started eating breakfast this morning to. Like the dr said. 7 months breakfast and dinner and 9 months breakfast lunch and dinner. He had whole wheat cereal for the first time this morning, didn't really know what to think of it. But he ate it! Whole wheat cereal and pears. He's getting so big I can't believe I have been a Mommy for 7 months already! Time has really been flying since I went back to work. I would give anything to be able to stay home with him, but I can't. I have to provide for him and that's not happening if I'm staying at home.

I'm hoping he'll start crawling soon. He's on all 4's rocking, and moving his legs, he just don't get the moving his arms yet. Soon! He loves to stand up to. Gosh I remember when he slept and ate that's all. Now he's staying up longer periods of time eating solids and practically sleeping through the night! I guess I'll soon be planning a 1st birthday party!

Weekend alone with Mommy!

This is the first weekend, in a long time that Noah and I had the weekend to ourselves!! I have LOVED every second of it!!

Friday night we didn't do much just played on the floor all night. Noah had a good night sleeping. He woke up at 3:30am, and then of course all week I had to wake him up at 7 and he woke up at 6:30am!!! But I don't mind. Today we played in the morning, and he got a bath. After his nap we left and met his cousin Antonio to get their pictures taken together. They turned out GREAT!! I can't wait to get them back!! Antonio is 9 months old and Noah 6. They are both so adorable I can't stand it!! After pictures we walked the entire K-Mart then went to Hardee's for lunch. I had a good time today with Sue, Aunt Joann, Val and the babies! After we got home we made Grammy and Poppy a sign to hang outside to greet them when they get home tomorrow. The hand prints didn't work out so well!! He thought it was time to finger paint! The footprints aren't as bad, but he thought it was time to dance!! And I bought glue and glitter, and well that didn't work so I had to outline the words. Oh well they will love it anyway! :)

I got one of his white onesies and wrote on it with fabric markers so that's what he will wear tomorrow to!

Noah fell asleep around 6 tonight he had a big day! I tried to wake him up at 8, but that didn't work! He's now sleeping out in the living room in his pack n play! I figure it doesn't matter I don't work tomorrow so if he wakes up at 1am and thinks it's time to be up and play it's ok! LOL Although I hope that doesn't happen!!




It's hard being a single Mom, and now that Jeff passed away the reality has hit me that is is just me. I'm all (besides friends and my parents and sister) Noah has. It makes me sad, but at the same time it makes me stronger. I realized that I have a lot of work on my plate to get myself healthier so I'm around for him. So this weekend is the great Sabrina smoke out! Come Monday I will be cigarette free, I love you Marlboro Menthol Ultra Lights but I love my son a WHOLE lot more. Next this week is the start a of diet. I have been heavy my whole life, but it's time to get to it. Right after I had Noah I lost weight then with the stress of going back to work, I gained it all back plus some. So it's time to get cracking! I never would have thought in a million years that having a baby would change me so much! It's amazing! I love Noah with all my heart and would do anything in this world for him! It makes me tear up to even think about it! I love to just watch him sleeping, he's so peaceful. With babies nothing else in the world matters except the right now. It's amazing!

Well I'm off to get comfy and wait for little man to wake up!!

Noah's first sleep over alone :(

So finally after almost 6 months, I gave in and let me sister and Danielle take Noah for the night! I didn't want him to go, but I knew I had to. He's 6 months old and is really only not with me while I'm working, and the occasional grocery shopping. He does NOT like grocery shopping! They didn't get here until almost 7, so that was kinda nice because he was here longer! After he left I did the dishes, attempted to pull the systems up on the laptop that I need for work, which didn't work so now I have to go in the office tomorrow. Now here I am, surfing on the Internet, was just on Facebook which is really getting old. And decided that maybe I should document this day!

That handsome little man is what I'm missing right now :( It's amazing how much of your time they consume, and you don't realize it until they aren't with you.

1/2 a year already!

So today Noah is 6 months old!!




I can hardly believe it's been 6 months since I brought this precious little miracle into this world!! He has really been a blessing to me! He lights up my life every single day! Never fails! I love that little man more then anything else in this world!


So in 6 more months I'll be planning a 1st birthday party! I don't know if I should be excited about that or sad! He had squash, and oatmeal for his birthday dinner! Anyway, Aunt Chrissy and Aunt Danielle just got here for Noah's birthday!

Sad days

Noah's Father passed away Thursday August 12, 2010. He was only 31 years old so his life was cut way short. It's a very sad thing.



Noah never had a opprotunity to meet his Dad. Jeff had other things he needed to figure out before he could be a active member in Noah's life. Jeff and I were great, but his daughters Mom had made him choose a relationship with her or me and the baby. It broke my heart from the time I was pregnant with Noah that Jeff never showed any concern for Noah, never asked how he was doing or if he needed anything. That made me feel so sad. I know that he had a lot on his plate, and wanted to get his life together. Now that he's gone, Noah will never have the chance to meet his Dad, and have a realationship with him either. That really kills me inside. A piece of my heart went along with Jeff.

His Obituatary is in the paper today, and it killed me a little more to see that he apparently did not tell his family, Mom Dad and brother, about Noah. So Noah is not acknowledged in his obituary which breaks my heart.

Things were not easy, actually I kinda feel guilty for making it hard, and wanting him to prove he cared and really wanted to be there. I wasn't keeping Noah from him, I just wanted him to show that he cared. I wanted him to be ready to be a active member of Noah's life and not be in and out of it. Unfortunately God had other plans for him, so he never got the chance to change, or show he cared.

He also has a daughter that is a year old, Jayana. She got to have a relationship with Jeff, and seen him often. For that I am thankful for, she has something Noah never will have.

His funeral is Tuesday evening, it will be a very hard time. Even though Jeff and I did not have the best relationship, I have known him since I was a teenager so it still would be hard now it's just harder because of Noah.

I have prayed that Jeff was not in any pain when he passed, and that he wasn't scared also. I sure hope that he didn't feel pain and wasn't scared. I will be sure to tell Noah all about you Jeff, and let him know that you were a great person.

May Jeff rest in peace, I know that you are up there watching over all your family and friends. I also know that you not only will watch over Jayana but also Noah. and my thoughts and prayers are with Jeff's family and Jayana as well.

Sunday Fun day!!

So today was a exciting day for me!! I went to LCBC for the first time in about a year! It felt so good to go! I love that Church. Especially since I grew up only knowing Catholic Church Masses. It's nice! I wanted to take Noah for the first time, the kids have their own Sunday School they go to, of course the babies up to I believe 2 years old don't do anything, that's just like day care.
But I know when he gets older he will love it! I felt very good about taking him, I don't know exactly why but I just feel better now!

Noah was looking handsome as usual for Church!

So yeah can't figure out how to rotate this, it rotates in my pictures but uploads this way LOL

His diaper bag tag, they keep the babies and parents stickers so this is all I have LOL I think it's great they found a way to make sure kids aren't just walking out of there with anyone. You get a sticker with a letter/number combo, their name tags have the same number. If you don't have the matching one, you don't take the kid!

So I must admit that the Manheim campus is SO much bigger, and maybe a tad better but this Harrisburg one is nice!! My sister came with us, she enjoyed herself! I'm so happy about that! Now it's a Sunday thing, we go to Church and next week we will go for lunch afterwards!

My sister was kind enough to meet me this morning with a Carmel Frappachino from Starbucks :) Yummy!!! (those aren't the ones she bought us, that's just the only pic I have of them LOL) That was a nice treat!! After Church we went to Target Noah needed diapers. I never knew how many diapers I'd be going through.....but it doesn't take long to kill a box of them!! So we had a great day with Aunt Chrissy. I can't wait for next Sunday!!

Noah is taking a nap, he had a busy day so far. Still no more teeth have come through. I don't know how long they are going to wait!! Those Hyland's Teething tablets really work! So I will definitely keep them around until he has all his teeth!!

I'm so excited to take him to his 6 month appointment on the 18th! Not because he's 6 months, or because he's getting more shots :(, but because I can't wait to find out how much he weighs and how long he is!! It's always different from what we get here at home, so I stopped trying to make it right and just wait!!!

But I think that's all for now! It's been a great weekend, and a absolutely wonderful Sunday!!! I really am blessed, I have said that many many times before but I really seen that today!

Noah started doing new things this weekend!!

This past weekend Noah started doing 3 new things!!! He started holding his bottle, not exactly the whole time but for a few minutes at a time! He also started to sit up by himself for a minute or so each time! You can see him trying to balance himself it's so cool!! The 3rd and final thing he started doing, is getting up on all 4's and rocking back and forth a few times before collapsing! LOL He did that 3 or 4 times!!

I can't believe this month my baby will be 6 months old! Half a year already! It's crazy how fast time flies! Even crazier how amazing babies really are! To think that 5 months ago he was swaddled in a blanket and slept 3/4 of the day not doing anything at all besides cry when he was hungry. Now he's holding his bottle, definitely wouldn't think about being swaddled! Eating cereal and after his appt later this month fruits and veggies. Lifting his head up high, already has his 2 front bottom teeth, and the top front one is poked through just barely! He's simply amazing! I had no idea how much I would be amazed by him, or how much I'd love that little guy! He makes me smile when smiling is the farthest from my mind!

I must admit being a single Mom is the hardest in the world, but thankfully I have great parents and a great sister and sister in law that help when I need it! I'm blessed in so many ways! I wouldn't change a thing right now. I wish Noah's Dad was in the picture, not for my sake but for Noah's he doesn't deserve to grow up without one. But if his Dad wants to miss out of him then that's on him. I cannot make him come around, my job at the end of the day is to make sure Noah is safe, clean, happy, full belly. Has everything he needs, that's it. So we are just fine without him.


Noah is taking his evening nap right now, and will probably be getting up really soon. He had to get his bath early because at day care he had formula on the back of his hair. And they don't prop bottles! Right! Mysterious scratches on his leg, foot and belly also. Not sure if it's from teacher or other babies. It's frustrating having him in day care. I wish I could just stay home with him but I gotta make money!!

In any case, I was only going to write about the new things he started doing, but it ended up going other places!! I guess I'll end this post so I can get some stuff done before Noah man wakes up!
