Ready for the 2 weeks.

Matt works 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off. I'm sure I've mentioned that before. But with the prime teething, I am SO ready for his 2 weeks off. Only 3 more days after today, THANK GOD. Noah's been waking up a few times every night. I'm just glad he finally has a tooth so I know that that's what the problem is. I just keep telling myself that this is the reason that God made coffee. And boy, am I right about that. I go through like a bag and a half of coffee a week. I'm definitely going to be purchasing a Sam's Club membership and buying the 40 oz bag. I'll be lucky if that last's me a month.

I'm really loving life here in Williamsport :) I met a super awesome girl named Megan, who has an adorable little boy named Trace. She's super fun to hang out with and the boys are so cute together! Her husband works for IPS too! It's a lot more fun to get to the mall and Target with a girlfriend than alone. And even more fun going with her rather than my husband, haha!

Here's a few pictures from the last few days.

Scentsy & Cloth Diapers

So, as I mentioned in my last post...I'm officially a Scentsy consultant! And I'm SUPER stoked about it! I set up my launch party last night so if ANYONE could help me out, that'd be awesome! This is my website. I'd really appreciate it!

***THIS IS MOMMY TMI:

On another note, we've finally decided to start making the switch to cloth diapers! I was always so turned off by it because of the poop...but we finally experience our first cloth diaper poop yesterday and we survived!! AND it came clean! I was absolutely stoked! Excuse the blurry phone picture, but here's my babe and his fluffy butt!

BIG NEWS!: Noah got his first tooth!! YAY!!

Sorry for the short entry....but I've got a very active 5 1/2 month old on my hands!

Friday!

Fall is seriously the best time of year. Late fall/early winter is my particular favorite. I cannot get enough soup! Soup on the stove, crockpot soup, everything! Today, I made crock pot zuppa toscana. Super excited to try it! Crock pot meals are seriously the best with crazy work schedules. I mean obviously I don't work, but we never ever know what time Matt will be home. This way, once it's done, I can just turn it on warm and call it good!

There's just something about Friday's that I love. I don't know why, cause it doesn't mean anything for us since hubby works through the weekend. But it just reminds me of high school football games. And being in elementary school and knowing that mom and dad were ordering pizza tonight! I miss a lot of things about childhood, but I'm so excited to watch Noah experience it all too :) I can't wait to make sure he gets the best childhood ever, along with our future children of course.

We decided to not buy Noah a full blown costume since he'll only be 6 months old. We may get together with friends and just enjoy the night! My mom sent him a little skelton pj set that we're going to put him in! It's going to be SO cute! Halloween is only 2 weeks away!! YAY!

Teething blows.

We all love our children to death right? Of course. I love my son more than anything. But holy shit, teething is not a game for the weak. I don't think there was a consequtive 30 minutes of no crying today. I feel so so so bad for him but I do everything I can and nothing helps! He's been teething for a couple months now, but today was easily the worst day we've had. I just want to snuggle him and tell him it'll be okay :( Poor babes.

Epic fail at some cute fall pictures.

I'm starting to get a hang of my camera now :) And I'm learing editing too! No where near professional quality, but good enough to hang up on the walls in our home! :)

Hubby is on nights right now and I am missing him :( I love our dog, but she's just a tad too hairy for my liking. We're currently laying in bed listening to all of the b.s. of the presidential debate. *yawn*

Here are a few more pictures from today :)

Love his little blonde baby mohawk :)

Here's to hoping Noah sleeps all night and praying that tomorrow is a better day!

Cute with a side of adorable

I seriously cannot get over how cute my son is. I know every mom thinks the exact same way. Just the way he smiles when I get him out of his crib after he wakes up in the morning and after his naps, MELTS MY HEART. He is the happiest, most precious baby. He wasn't planned by any means, but he is the biggest, and best surprise in our lives!

He's seriously only 5 months old and already starting to crawl! He can sit up by himself, and get on his hands and knees and rock back and forth. Now he's working on getting one knee in front of the other! Such a big boy! He is so determined! I remember bringing him home from the hospital and being SO tiny! (Okay, 8 lbs 10 oz, not so tiny)

Just a couple days old!

SO! Lately I've been allllllll over coffee (nothing new) but I bought Dunkin Donuts turbo, and holy crap. That stuff just gives a whole new meaning to coffee. Strong, but still a medium roast, and such a yummy flavor. I seriously look forward to going to bed JUST to wake up in the morning to drink coffee (ok, all day) I even make it at night, so I don't have to do any extra work in the morning. Yup, I'm THAT lady.

My trusty & huge Starbucks Christmas cup! My favorite!

Speaking of that picture, my recent project has been the blank canvas above that shelf. I think It's finally done, for now.  I'm sure I'll add to it as soon as I find some cute new frames.

And, one last thing..I want to share my new leg warmers from freakin' KMART. $7.99, holler.

Have a great Sunday everyone! :)

New Camera!

AHHH! My new camera came about 20 minutes after I finished yesterdays post! It seriously felt like Christmas! This is one of the pictures I took with it :)

My son is SO handsome :) He's wearing a cloth diaper from For the Love of Fluff!

I want so badly to go to the farmer's market this morning, but it's about 30 degrees out and my child refuses to keep blankets on himself :( I LOVE fresh fruit and veggies. Nothing better than a yummy colorful salad with homemade dressing!

I know I only have like, 7 followers, but I think quite a few people read this blog...and I thank you guys :) It's such a good way to let everything out when you just talk to a baby all day long!

My friend Tracy comes back to Pennsylvania today!! I'm so excited! I need a girls day/night badly. I mean, how good does a pizza/wine/movie night sound anyway? Especially when our babies entertain eachother! She really is an awesome friend. We got along right off the bat and I could definitely see us being life-long friends :)

Happy Saturday, everyone!

Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! Fridays don't mean much at our house since Matt works 28 days on, then 14 days off...but I do love me some Saturday morning farmers markets! Fresh fruit and veggies are the best, and contriubting to local businesses is awesome, too!

The other night, I'm shopping around sears.com and all of a sudden there was a new camera, and a high chair in my cart! (How did that happen?) So of course, I had some convincing to do so Matt would let me get a new camera..so as soon as he got home, I'm all "soooo I almost bought a new camera today" and he just goes "go ahead." How easy was that?! So I am now the proud owner of this bad boy!

Canon Rebel T3

I can't wait to share pictures with this! My mother-in-law has one similar and I couldn't stop snapping pictures while she was visiting! I feel like everyone that has kids needs an amazing camera. They really do grow up SO fast.

Matt's been working CRAZY hours. The past two days he's gotten just about 34 hours. That is insane to me. I could never do what he does. I really can't complain though. This job has been such a blessing to our family. I never would've imagined that we could just order a nice camera like that. I always tell him I feel like we cheated the system because this job literally fell into his lap. We're so young, and so blessed.

I'm really missing my friend Tracy. She's visiting her parents in New Jersey right now, and I can't wait til her and baby Harlow get back! Prayers for her husband, please. He's having a health problem and needs a few prayers for a speedy recovery!

I hope everyone has an awesome weekend!
