12 on the 12th - double time

October 12th

I forgot it was the 12th until late in the afternoon, so we got some snapshots of a typical afternoon. Billy was out of town for a conference, so it was just me and the boys this time. There are a couple of pictures of the boys entertaining themselves while I cooked dinner. They like to crawl around the kitchen and rummage through the cabinets. Asher likes to crawl under the kitchen table, and if I don't watch carefully, Mo might get his tail (or ears or legs) yanked around. As you can see, I try to sneak in as many vegetables as possible where I can because Noah and Asher are both pretty picky when it comes to any veggie. While dinner was finishing up, we spent some time outside in the beautiful weather. After we ate, we spent some time wrestling on the floor and the boys had fun attacking me! Then it was bathtime and Asher is learning that he has more fun standing up than sitting down. The boys were wiped out and fell asleep looking like little angels!

November12th

Today was a Friday and we went on a road trip to visit Grandma on the farm.  Kari was able to come with us too.  So Asher and I started out with a yummy breakfast and then played for a bit.  He likes to make an Indian sound by moving his hand on and off his mouth quickly.  He also like to entertain himself with Mo, but Mo is getting bigger and  putting up more of a fight!  Then Kari arrived and made friends with him quickly with some snacks.  We loaded up the car, waited for Billy to get home, and then picked Noah up on the way out of San Antonio.  It was a long four hours, but we had some fun.  Noah watched a couple of videos, Asher got his carseat changed to forward facing for the first time, we saw a little rain with a rainbow, and Kari and I played scrabble on my Iphone.  Noah slept in my old room, and he saw a picture on the dresser of me, Kari, and my cousin Lee, when I graduated college.  He kept pointing at the picture and saying, "who is that?".  Then he got ready for bed and found one of our old books to read. 

Zoo Trip

The weather in San Antonio has been amazing!  It's perfect by my standards, so we've been trying to enjoy it as much as possible.  We took the boys out for a trip to the zoo this past Saturday.  Groupon had a great deal on Friday where a $65 year long membership to the zoo was selling for $30.  We were already planning on going anyway, so this just made it that much sweeter. Unfortunately, we had to stand in line a little longer because 8,000 other people took advantage of the same deal, but it was worth it.  The trip to that area of San Antonio reminded me more of why I like this place so much.  The boys seemed to like the zoo, but I know Asher will like it so much more when he can run around without the confines of the stroller.  Poor guy couldn't see a whole lot of animals, but he was watching the people, which I think he finds just as interesting.  And there was a train!  Of course that was the highlight of the day for Noah.  The train took us on a nice relaxing ride around Brackenridge Park.  Here are some of the highlights of the day.

Asher's Big Laugh

This is a video of Asher.  His laugh is so contagious, I just had to share it!

We're back!

I can't believe how overwhelming the last six weeks has been. I need to do a lot of backtracking to go through everything, but the short version of it all is that we're in San Antonio and we're alive. We have a house, but we're still living among quite a few boxes. Noah started day care yesterday, but I still don't have a job. I slacked a little on the 12th of July and August so I'm just going to have to throw something together pretty soon so I can catch up.

Since our house is still a wreck, I took some pictures of the backyard so I can at least share those. And the backyard was a significant factor in buying this house. If you haven't heard yet, there is a basketball court in our back yard. Yes, you read that right. A basketball court. And it's blue. If you go to Google Earth, you can actually see this big blue thing from pretty far away. 

Here is the view of our yard from our back door.

The basketball hoop

There is actually electricity hooked up and there is a light opposite the hoop

There are even hooks on both posts to set up volleyball nets.

Noah's basketball hoop

And last but not least, this is Noah and Billy right before they headed out for Noah's first day of school.

Noah wasn't exactly excited at 6:00 am to go to a new school, but he actually had a great day.  And today he just walked in like he owned the place.  He gave Billy a hug and kiss bye, and then walked away.  Our little guy is growing up!

Asher giving Noah a Ride

Almost There!

Today is Thursday, tomorrow is my last day of work, and Billy is coming home on Friday!! I am so excited to have him home, and even though the boys may not realize that they have something to be excited about, they will certainly be excited once he's here. Asher might finally have someone in the house to match his energy level, and Noah will finally have someone else to "tackle" on the living room floor! Beyond the excitement, I'm a little anxious and nervous. It's been quite a long time since I've moved, and even though the move is back to Texas, it's still anxiety provoking. Moving seems to be a little more intense this time around, and it probably has to do with having two kids. My previous years in San Antonio and San Marcos were during college and graduate school and therefore included staying up all hours of the night, waking up at 11:00 a.m., eating cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, jumping at the drop of a hat for a weekend away, and having very little responsibilities in general. Now Texas will be a whole new ballpark with the kiddos. Granted, I think it's going to be a great ballpark and I'm really looking forward to it, it's just going to be different. Plus we are so used to the teachers and the day care now, and I'm worried about schools, parks, activities, etc., and hoping that they'll be just as good, if not better than what we have now. Another reason the move is making me anxious is that we weren't able to sell our house here in Charleston, but thank heaven we at least have renters. On top of that, I still don't have a job. We have been a two income family since Billy and I got married, so it makes me nervous. I'm looking for work, but it seems to be taking a little longer than I expected. For now, I'm just trying to enjoy the fact that I'll be able to spend some time with my boys before I go back to work.

So I have to end on a good note and share an adorable picture of my littlest boy. this is what happens when older cousins come to visit!

June 12th

The12th fell on a Saturday this month and Saturdays are so much more fun!  This 12th was even better than most because we headed up to Spartanburg to go to Marley and Chloe's birthday party!  Marley turned 9 and Chloe turned 6.  They're growing up right before our eyes.  The girls were so excited to see Noah and Asher and the boys love getting so much attention from their cousins and aunt and uncle.  Of course since there was so much fun to be had , the days were long!  Noah was tired when he woke up and he was resting his chin on the table while he ate his breakfast.  We spent the morning hanging out and getting ready for the pool party.  We brought Asher's new walker with us because they have great wood floors for him to get around on and he loved chasing everyone around.  We got to the pool and the water felt great, but Noah and Asher weren't too thrilled with it.  Uncle David spent some time with both of them in the pool and they had a good time with him, but I was expecting them to have a blast because just last weekend they loved the pool.  I guess it's hit or miss these days.  The girls had an awesome Sponge Bob Squarepants cake!  Marley was so excited and surprised to get a cell phone!  After the party we chilled out for a bit.  Asher had a good time hanging out on the back deck.  Noah and Chloe laid around on the bed and watched some television.  They have a little garden with all kinds of fruits and vegetables so Noah was watching Uncle David water the garden.  After all the excitement of the day, Toy Story was on TV, and even though they were all exhausted beyond belief, Noah, Marley, Chloe all managed to keep their eyes open to watch the movie. 

Big Changes

Big changes are upon us.  Billy will be coming home one month from today.  It's hard to believe that 11 months have already passed, but they have.  We are so ready to have Billy back and get back into some sort of a normal life, but that's going to take a few months.  Not only do we all have to adjust to each other again, we have to adjust to an almost entirely new life.  Billy's next assignment is in San Antonio, so we're heading back to Texas.  This is a good thing, and we really are happy about it, but the process has been and will be very exhausting, especially having to do so many things while Billy isn't here.  He comes home on July 10th and has to report to the base in S.A. by July 31st.  That really doesn't leave us a whole lot of time to get things done.  The good thing is the military will take care of the move itself, so we don't have to do a whole lot of packing.  The bad thing is we have to pack enough for ourselves and our two very young boys to last probably about three weeks.  I'm not looking forward to living out of a suitcase with the little ones for that long.  At least we're minivan owners and I'm sure we'll be packing that thing to the brim.

So it's been a crazy year, and it's just about to get a little bit crazier!

May 12th

I thought I better hurry up and get this on here because another month has come and gone and it's almost June 12th.  I didn't want to end up doing another two for one.  I'd like to say I'm going to get better and post these in a timely manner, but I'd be lying.  Things are going to be quite hectic around here in the next couple of months so it might take me a while.  Then again, I've been known to procrastinate when there are important things to be done.  When I'm stressed, I tend to focus on the not so essential things, so I might be on here more often.  Anyway, here are our pictures from May 12th.

This was one of the days on our "normal" routine.  Asher starts his days sitting on Gammy's lap.  He's such a happy little guy after he's gotten some milk into him.  He is growing so fast!  That sleeper is so cute, but he'll probably be out of it in the next week or two.  He's passed the 19lb mark and he's not even 7 months old!  Noah normally has two mini muffins for breakfast.  He won't let me heat them up so he eats them frozen.  For some reason he usually eats one at home and wraps one up in a paper towel and eats it on the way to school.  We pass the 526 sign toward Savannah every day, and I was feeling slightly nostalgic since we won't be seeing that sign anymore in the very near future.  I also had to take a picture of the entrance to Charleston Air Force Base.  Believe it or not, we'll acutally miss it.  I took a picture of myself.  Is it sad that I look my best at 6:30am?  After work and school, we came home and watered our herbs.  Noah and I planted basil, oregano, chives, and parsley a few weeks ago, and now we're watching them grow.  We're also getting some blueberries!  Then it was time for dinner.  Asher is digging solids.  He sits in his little chair on top of the table.  I know, I know, but I don't have a highchair.  I'll be doing something about that soon though.  He is ALWAYS on the go and he's about to bust out of that seat!  Noah loves his trains and he's usually playing with them, or at least holding them, at any given time.  Sometimes he wants them to "watch" him while he eats. Then it was time for a bath.  The boys usually get their baths together, and they like playing with each other.  Asher truly enjoys the water and if Noah is taking a bath without him, Asher will practically jump out of your arms to get in there.  I think he might be our little water baby.  Another day down, and another day closer to Billy coming home!

Fethiye

Billy is getting ready to come home.  He'll be home during the first half of July and we're all eagerly awaiting his arrival!  Things are very busy with preparations, but for now Billy is trying to make the most of his last few weeks in Turkey.  He was able to enjoy Memorial Day weekend in Fethiye.  I'm insanely just a little jealous!  But really I'm happy he's getting to enjoy himself.  He sent a short e-mail and a picture to share his paragliding adventure with us. 

I just wanted to show you a couple of pics that I took while paragliding. We were 1.5 miles up!! Crazy scary at first b/c a guy just before we were supposed to go fell once he took off....his paraglider shoot just collapsed and he fell a long way down...they had to call all kinds of people to get him and finally got him on a stretcher and took him off the mountain with a neck brace on....don't know how he was though...not something you want to see just before you take off because they say a handfull of people die there every year. They also say it's the best paragliding in the world. I believe it! Take a look at the view.

He's already 6 months old!

Okay, so it's really more like 7 months old at this point, but things have been a little hectic around here.  I really thought we'd gotten through the worst part of the one year deployment, but I'm not so sure anymore.  Even though we have less than two months until Billy gets back (woohoo!), it's going to be VERY busy.  Anyway, I digress.  This is a post about Asher and just how perfect the little guy is.  He had his 6 month appointment not too long ago.

Weight = 17 lbs 9 oz = 48th percentile
Height = 26.5 in = 49th %ile
Head = 16.5 in = 7th %ile (don't let this little head fool you, he really is a smart kid!)

Unfortunately, Asher got sick a couple of weekends ago and we had to take him to an urgent care facility on a Sunday afternoon.  He seemed to get over it really quickly, but everyone couldn't get over how "big" he was for 6 months old.  When he was weighed (less than 2 weeks after his 6 month appointment), he was 18 lbs 7 oz. I realize that some of the weight might have been from the time of day and the recency of his last bottle, but seriously, the little dude is growing like a weed!

Two for the Price of One

March

 Okay, I have to be completely honest.  These pictures aren't just from the 12th.  Things were too crazy to take all of them on the one day, so it's split between the 12th and the 13th.  Besides, that was the only way we could get Billy in there too.  I worked all day on the 12th.  There are pictures of my usual morning tea and Noah eating his breakfast on his chair.  Asher had a normal day playing on his mat and getting his bath.  The normalcy of the day ended when we got home and it was time to get serious and pack!  The island and its surrounding area was the headquarters for all organization.  On the 13th we headed out of town bright dark and early.  Noah, Asher, and I embarked on a traveling journey from Charleston to San Antonio.  Everything went well and we were all thrilled to see Billy!  Of course our first stop In Texas was for Mexican food!

April

Another month down.  Today was a typical day.  It started out with getting up and getting Noah ready for school.  Between getting dressed, eating breakfast, and getting out the door, there is invariably a tantrum.  Some are short and some are long and drawn out, but there's at least one.  While we're getting ready to go, Asher usually wakes up and Gammy has his bottle waiting for him.  He'll lift his head up while we're making a commotion and then he'll watch us as we walk out the door.  This morning we took a little extra time so I could get a picture with my boys.  After school Noah was glued to the television, watching Finding Nemo.  Asher found some of Noah's trucks and enjoyed spinning the wheels.  We had a yummy dinner and Asher really enjoyed eating his oatmeal.  By eating I mean swallowing about 75% of it and blowing rasberries with the rest.  There have been some problems with Noah washing his hair, so we're trying to get him to lay down in the water, and he seemed to like it, at least for today.  He has so much hair, it's almost time for another haircut.  After all the usual day's events, the boys headed to bed and I couldn't resist sneaking in to take some pictures of the little angels, because what baby doesn't look like an angel when he's sleeping?

Our trip

Wow, where has the time gone?  I can't believe it's been over a month since my last post, but it has been one busy month.  Obviously we survived our trip to San Antonio.  Like I imagined, getting through security at the airport was a nightmare.  I got more dirty looks than I got help and I ended up spilling milk all over their equipment... oops.  Noah and Asher both did great on the flights and we had no major accidents or mishaps.  The flight attendants on the first flight were awesome and helped us make it to our connecting flight.  Unfortunately, they ended up losing a very important bag of luggage that we didn't get until the 3rd day we were.  It had my breast pump, most of Asher's clothes, and the power cord to the computer, among other things, so that was pretty awful.  But we got to see Billy and lots of good friends.  It was definitely a good trip!

Here we are on the first plane

The boys together again

 

There wasn't much to do in our little room

Noah loved "his" yellow plane

Without our toys, we had to make our own enterainment!

We went to Sea World and saw Shamu

We saw a Sesame Street show and Asher LOVED it

Traveling With Two

When Noah was almost 8 months old, we traveled to Texas.  I was a little nervous about it and I shared my thoughts about it in this post.  So I was worried about traveling with Noah.  And Billy was there with me. This coming Saturday, I'm flying to San Antonio with Noah and Asher.  And Billy will not be with me.  I will be alone with a 5 month old baby and a 2 1/2 year old toddler.  I know women do this all the time, but I don't, and I'm nervous.  It's going to be a ton of fun trying to get through security with everything... the car seat, the stroller, the portable dvd player or computer, the breast pump, bottles of milk, diaper bag, toys, etc.  I have to do all of that while getting us all halfway undressed and redressed.  By the way, did I mention our flight leaves at 6:00a.m.?  That means all of this "fun" we'll be having will be happening at about 5 o'clock in the morning. Then we get to the actual flights.  We have one layover in Atlanta and we land in San Antonio at almost 10:00a.m.  It doesn't sound too bad, but who knows what could happen.  Yesterday I had to change my clothes three times because Asher spit up all over me.  This morning he had to get an unplanned bath because of a diaper blowout.  He was sitting in his exersaucer quietly for about 15 minutes and I thought he was about to go to sleep.  When I finally picked him up, he had poop all the way up his back and under his arms.  I still can't quite figure out how he got it all the way up there, but he did.  So, with this little man, anything is possible.  Let's just hope we can keep the spitting up and pooping under control. 

Can you tell how much we miss Billy?  (I sure hope he appreciates this!)

And so it begins...

As they were sitting there, Asher was touching Noah and Noah was whining, "Asher's hitting me." Then he turned to Asher and said "don't touch me."  And so it begins...

Growing Too Fast

My littlest boy is now 4 months old.  I have an almost 2 1/2 year old, so you'd think I'd know how fast this time goes by, but I just can't believe that Asher is already 4 months old.  I feel like I'm going to turn around and they'll be walking across a stage to get their diploma or walking down the aisle to get married.  It's actually kind of scary.  But I digress.  This is just an update on Asher. 

weight = 15 lbs = 50th percentile (I swear he feels and looks a lot heavier)
height = 25.5 in = 75th percentile
head = 16 in = 10th percentile (it doesn't look like it with those chubby cheeks, but he has a peanut head just like his dad and brother)

The doc said he's doing great and everything is right on target.  Unfortunately, he doesn't tolerate his shots well.  As an infant, Noah would stop crying as soon as you picked him up after the shots.  Asher, on the other hand, doesn't stop crying.  He has tears streaming down his face and is screaming like he's being tortured.  He definitely needs a lot of extra TLC afterwards. 

Based on the new recommendations, we'll start Asher on solids at 6 months.  I'm sure he'll be more than ready. You should see the way he already eyeballs our food, but I also have a feeling he's going to be a picky eater. Of course, he's full of surprises so I need to stop guessing and just go with what he throws our way.  We might be in for an adventure!

Seven Months Down

Okay, so we've passed the hurdle.  We're more than halfway through Billy's year-long hiatus.  We have seven months down and five to go.  Luckily he has a class in San Antonio next month where me and the little boys will meet him and get to hang out with him for a week.  Then he'll fly back to Charleston with us.  We'll get to hang out for another week before he's back to work leaving us with only four months to go.  And boy will those four months fly by.  We should be getting some information about his new assignment any day, and by any day I mean they have to tell us by March 31st, so I'm wondering why in the world it's taking them so long to tell us patiently waiting to find out what the Air Force has in store for our future.  There will be SO MANY things to take care of before he gets back.  One of the most important things will be getting the house ready to show/sell/rent, which includes some MAJOR cleaning (which by the way means lots of money because I simply don't have the time to do the necessary cleaning), tidying up all the holes in the wall (can't do that either), touch up painting, fixing the yard, pressure washing the exterior, cleaning the garage, etc..  Then we'll actually have to decide whether we'll sell or rent and I have no idea how to even figure out what would be best.  I'll also have to do plenty of research to find somewhere for us to live in the as of yet undisclosed location.  I'll have to figure out if I'll be able to transfer, which will take some work, or if I have to start looking for a new job, which would also mean a lot of research, resume updating, application filling out... you get the picture.  I'm sure there are many more things that will need to be done, but I'm only looking at big picture things right now.  Everything else is one day at a time.  SO, if anybody has any suggestions for good cleaning people, a handyman, a realtor, info on whether to sell or rent, I'm all ears!!!

And just so you know that as busy, and crazy, and anxiety provoking as this life is, I wouldn't trade it for anything because they make it all worthwhile.

Let it Snow

We are supposed to get snow tonight.  And not just snow flurries, but actual snow...3-5" of it.  That sounds pretty pitiful compared to what's going on in other parts of the country where more than 50" of snow has fallen throughout the winter, but for someone living in Charleston, SC who moved from the border of Mexico, TX, this is a pretty big deal.  I've seen snow flurries once, and that was last year.  Even though they were there, they were barely there.  You can take a look and see what I mean here.  So today, we're forecasted to get some snow.  I've got my camera and my hot chocolate ready!

Amazing

Kids are really amazing.  I mean truly amazing.  Noah might be a little more amazing than most, but of course I'm just slightly biased. ; )

On almost a daily basis he says or does something that just knocks my socks off and I think to myself, "when did you learn to do that?" or "how did you know that?" or "oh my gosh, how did you remember that?". 

We have a storybook about a mom and her little boy.  The mom sings to her son "I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, As long as I'm living, My baby you'll be."  The book makes it through our nighttime rotation occasionally, but it's not consistent.  At the dinner table and out of the blue, Noah sang the song... completely.  Several weeks ago he started singing the ABCs.  We'd sing it to him, but without any participation on his part and then all of a sudden he can sing the whole song?  Yesterday he counted to fourteen on the way home from school.  He says words like "ambulance" and "quesadilla" out of nowhere and says them very clearly.  I have to ask him to repeat himself not because I don't understand what he's saying, but because I didn't know he knew that word, much less how to pronounce it so well.  His memory often surprises me.  He is an excellent observer even when he's pretending to be occupied elsewhere.  He was playing with his trains in the living room and I was in the kitchen talking about how he sang his ABCs that day.  Without looking up or even a pause in playing, he starts singing his ABCs.  Normally, when we visit the doctor, he would get upset the second they call his name.  He wouldn't stand on the scale, wouldn't let them take his temp, and would be very tentative with the doc as she examined him from my lap.  This week we went to the doc and when they called his name, he got up, walked in the door, and didn't even so much as look back to make sure I was behind him.  He stepped up on the scale (27lbs) all by himself.  He was sitting in his own chair in the exam room and when the doc walked in, he opened his mouth so she could look in without her even asking.  It was a complete 180. 

Noah is changing so much and I had to write these stories down while they're fresh on my mind.  All of this just makes me realize that he's turning into a kid right before my eyes, and a smart kid at that.  I am SO proud of my amazing boy! 

Our Family Pictures

I just realized that we had these awesome pictures taken, and I didn't share them with everybody.  They were taken back in the middle of November and things have been so hectic that I guess I just plain forgot.  So here they are.  Go to Westhart Photography, go to client login, and type in Asher as the password.  I don't know how long she keeps the photos, but they were there as of today.  Amanda did a fantastic job and was kind enough to travel from upstate South Carolina to take our pictures.  We really appreciate what she did and the end product is great!  We are soooo pleased!  And just in case you don't have the time to go through all the pictures, here are a few just to give you a taste!

Noah and Asher: A Comparison

Sometimes I look down at Asher and get a feeling of déjà vu because something he does makes him look exactly like Noah. Other times, I look down and think that he doesn't look much like Noah at all. I just had to do a side by side comparison. I know how much they change so their similarities might come and go, but I had to do it anyway.

I'm pretty sure you can tell who is who between the two of them but there are definitely some similarities.

Differences: It looks like Asher has more of a round face with those big cheeks while Noah has more of an oval face. Asher looks a little bulkier and has those squishy baby legs. One of the major differences is Asher's dimple in his right cheek. The other big difference is that hair! I guess Noah had nice hair from day one, whereas Asher's hair looks a little more wild. (I wonder if their hair is any indication of their personalities?!?)

Similarities: Their overall appearance is pretty similar. Their eyes and eyebrows seem to look alike. Their noses look alike. But I think what gives me those déjà vu moments is that mouth, especially with their little grins. Even their pouty expression looks the same.

Either way, I love my boys!!!

A Toddler's Tasty Creations

The other night I made a Tex-Mex style dish and I put a dollop of sour cream in my bowl. Noah said his typical "I want that". So I gave him his own dollop and he proceeded to dip his chip in it. I'm pretty sure this was Noah's first taste of sour cream and he didn't like it. His face wrinkled up and had "yuck" written all over it. He loves "dip", usually salsa or cheese dip, so he tried again, but had the same reaction. He ended up finding a substitute much better suited for him.

Who needs sour cream when you have lime yogurt? Yes, my son is dipping his tortilla chips in lime yogurt. Yummy.
