9 months 2 weeks 5 days

I love you I love you I love you! You ate for the first time since LAST saturday!!! 1 week and 4 days! Now you didn't eat alot but it was better than nothing! I am so so sooooo happy! You made my day! I hope it continues!

Today we went to Home Depot cause I needed yellow spray for my costume and then we went to the Town Hall and wentto the park. Most of it was for big boys so we just took a quick look and then we sat by the pond and we got to see a rainbow!

Since we couldn't play ON the playground we decided that it would be best to go out side some more and play on our swings! You are takin a nap right now....you must be tuckered out from all the fun!

On Saturday we get to o to a party and then mommy and her friend are going out. Sunday is the BIG day your 1st Halloween!!! I am so excited!

9months 2 weeks and 1 day old

You are such a good boy but I am a little worried. YOU ARE STILL NOT EATING....you havn't eaten food in over a week. The only thing you have been eating - or drinking - has been formula, which according to the Dr. if ALL that you need for the first year of your life....but I can't help but worry! Its just what mommies do. We are going to the Dr. tomorrow and we will see what he says. You are getting some shots tomorrow....I hate that they have to do that to you but its just what has to happen. You get very upset and then mommy grabs you and comforts you! My poor guy..... I ham gonna dress you up in a halloween outfit to make the Dr. smile.

Today you and me and daddy are going to buy some gifts for my friend Jeanette who is having a babay girl....we are going to her baby shower next week.

One week form today is halloween and i am so excited to have people see you in your haloween costume! You are gonna look so cute!

Today you might see Grandma Connie and uncle Franky. They love you very very much

our anniversary

so yesterday was mommy and daddys anniversary. We have been married for 4 years. We love each other very very much! You have such an amazing dad and I hope you grow up to be a good man like he is. I will never ever expect you to ever be exactly like him (I don't think that it is right to put that kind of pressure on you) I just know you are going to be a great person.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we didn't do anything "special" yesterday because mommy had weight watchers in the morning (I lost 2 pounds this week - 32 total since 2/27) and as soon as I got back we went to the diner. YUMMY and tonight we are having chinese!!!!!!!!! DOUBLE YUMMY. We got 2 movies today that I can't wait to watch - one I want to watch with you its called BABIES!!!!

You are feeling really crummy. You have had bad diareha all day yesterday....i think it is because you got TAHHHHHHHHHH DAHHHHHHHHH tooth number 2!!!!!! Hoooooray! I am so proud of you but I hope that you start feeling better soon. You have been sleeping for a really long time, I am just gonna let you sleep my poor beeeee! I love you

update on Mommy's job

well littele one.....last night when pappa came home he sat down with me and showed me our budget. He said he does not want me to work. He sees how much we do together during the day and knows how tired I am by the time I put you down to go to sleep and he knows that he wants me to maintain the energey i have in order to take care of you. We do alot douring the day baby. We play and read and it all seems like fun but it is lots of work at the same time.

Being your mommy is the BEST job I have ever ever had. It pays better and I have the bEST benefits. Watching you grow and making sure that you know I anm always there for you is my only purpose in life......I was put on this earth to be your mommy and that is all there is too it.

I made sure that this is what daddy wanted also because I will do whatever it takes to give this family everything that I have....but he assure dme that he wants me to be a full time mommy and be here always. I can't complain, because I love my family sooooo much!

OH MY GOODNESS WE'VE BEEN BUSY!!!!

OK I am so sorry that I have not kept up on this. No one person is subscribed to this, I am honestly keeping this as a diary for you! My sweet boy, as you get bigger I am finding less time to write sooooooo Lets start with where we left off!

JULY was awesome! Your Aunt Helena and cousin David came to stay with us for a week and we had a blast, we went to the game farm and saw lots of animals and we went ot a concert...I attached some pictures.....

In August (14th-16th) we wet to PA for your first LOOOONG trip to see Grandpa and GiGi and you got to meet your cousins Abrianna and Zach - you also got to meet you aunt JoJo....I attached some pics of that too. You went swimming in a great big pool and you went on your very first train ride, it was super exciting!!!!! You also started eating meat and lunch this month! Your first meat was beef - and you didn't like it tooooo much.

September was fun - I took you to the park on the 9th and it was your first time in a swing....you loved it. On the 11th (my Birthday) we went to SHIKI for sushi, and you were a very good boy (I let you eat some vanilla ice cream!) Then on the 20th, you started to get sick - my poor guy, it was the very first time you felt sick! Mommy was very sad and kinda worried because you weren't eating.....you wernt sleeping good either. On the 21st you were up late and you finally said DaDa....then on the 22nd you projectile vomited! EEEEW yucky, but I think it made you feel better! I had been calling the Dr and asking him worried questions...he kept saying that you would be ok and that you might not want to eat anything so I had to keep giving you liquid (Formula and Pedilyte) By the 27th you still were not back to your normal slef so I took you to see the Dr cause I felt that you were loosing wieght....BOY WAS I WRONG! when we took you on Aug 30th you were 20 pounds 12 oz....then at this visit you were 22 pounds 4 oz!!! WOW my boy has gotten soooooooooo big. And then guess what happened the very next day...YOU'RE FIRST TOOTH BROKE THROUGH!!!!!! isn't that exciting!!!!! and it looks as if your second is right around the corner.


Here we are already in October!!!On Saturday the 9th went went to vosot your GREAT Grandma and we also got to see Grandpa and Gigi and the next day you went to the pumkin patch and picked out your very own pumpkin....you even went on your very first hay ride. We had such a nice day! You wore a special hat that daddy really liked (st first he didn't but then he loved it) Today is the anniversary of when me and your daddy started to date....that was 5 years ago. In 2 more days it will be the anniversary of when we got married 4 years ago! I can't believe it. I still ove Daddy so soooooooooo much he is the best Husband in the whole world I love him just as much if not more than the very first date!

Hunny, mommy is a little upset lately. My hope was to be home with you ALL THE TIME....but the people at Daddy's job didn't keep a promise (they promised hima raise) so Mommy has to take a part time job at night. It will only be 20 hours a week and Daddy will be here with you....but mommy still cries about it. I know that daddy will do a good job, but mommy has tucked you in every single night since you've been born and she is going to miss that. I worry that daddy might not give you your leg massages, I worry that you might give daddy a hard time at dinner and you might be hungry late late late at night. I just don't want to leave you. I like to read to you and just love you and I still love even though I am not there I will be thinking of you every minute. This is just what we have to do for our family....we have to do this to make ends meet. I hope I don't have to work there for long.....so I can get back to being a full time mommy!

Aunt Helana might come for another visit at the begining of November and you and I get to go to a special party on the 30th (a baby shower for my friend Jeanette) AND BIG HAPPY HAPPY NEWS you have the cutest halloween costume! Well you just woke up from a nap and I can't wait to give you your luch! I think after lunch we will go for a nice walk and then we'll come home and go in the swings! OH YES...You got your own swing set since you loved the swings so much!!!!
