Funny/Anxious Moment

Okay so Christian has been having nightmares lately and so I have become a little relaxed with not answering his cries and he's noticed and has learned to take advantage. So yesterday I decided I'm not going to go in unless he really is scared and besides he never has nightmares during his nap time just during the night. ANYWAY, so yesterday I just let him do his thing after I put him down for his nap, I could hear him playing in there having a great time, but eventually things quieted down and I went to go peek on him to see if he had finally gone to sleep. Well I open the door and there is no Christian to be found. He wasn't in his bed, I checked in his closet (he loves to play in there), I checked behind the big rocker... no Christian! I was thinking "Oh my gosh! Where has my kid gone!" I started to freak a little bit because he's only 1 1/2 where the heck could he be, I know he didn't come out of his bedroom because he can't open doors yet. Then I thought to check under the crib- phew! There he was cuddled up in a little ball underneath the crib- this is his favorite spot to hide when we play hide-and-seek, I bet he hid there thinking I would come and check on him sooner and just fell asleep. I tried to take a picture but it was just to dark, bummer. Anyway, it turned into this cute funny moment, but I have to say I think I had left over anxiety the rest of the day too :)

Need Some Help

My sister is looking for a new nanny and she needs one fast! Here are the details:

They would need to work MWF from 7:00 to 9:30 and T,Thu from 7:00 to 4:15. All weekends, evenings and holidays are off. Pay is room and board + 250.00 a month.

This job is perfect for any girls who have just started college or just want to move out of their houses. Post a comment if you know of anyone. Thanks!

Family Christmas Pictures

Well we finally got our tree! I guess when we were there picking it out all the trees surrounding it must have been really big because this one looked like it was a smaller tree... boy were we wrong! This thing is HUGE! It wouldn't fit in our tree stand so we had to go get a bigger one before we could set it up. Me and Dan always feel bad about buying a live tree but I just can't imagine Christmas without that real Christmas tree scent wafting about the house. Christian also had his first encounter with Santa Clause and it went surprisingly really well, me of course being the dumb pregnant lady that I am, forgot my camera so I will have to have my sister email me the pics she took of him so I can post them. But for now here are some of us in front of our massive tree. And yes I made sure you could see my belly, I think everyone should have at least a couple of pics when they are pregnant, even though you don't think so at the time, you'll be glad you did.

Pictures As Promised

Christian loved his Halloween costume- he's a doggy. Even though we couldn't coax a smile from him for pictrues :) He asked for it days afterwards and would just carry it around with him as he played.

A Crazy Life!

Okay so I realize that I haven't blogged since Octobober- holy crap! did we even have November? It felt like that month just flew by! Okay so a few updates:
Christian loved Halloween (I will post pictures, even though it is already December) we took him to our ward trunk-or-treat the day before Halloween, Dan started to take him around and he realized that just by going up to people and saying tick-or-treat he would get candy. It's magical! Anyway, then we took him home and dumped all of his spoils on the living room floor and let him have a couple pieces before he went to bed. Needless to say he is for sure my child because he LOVES anything with chocolate.
Okay, on to November. We spent Thanksgiving in Wyoming with Dan's brother and family, Greg and his family also came up. Dan and his brothers gamed their eyeballs out, we had a fantastic meal and then I promptly came down with a mild version of the 24 hour flu. There's nothing worse than feeling horrible especially when you are not home. I had a 24 ounce coke the whole day I sipped on that helped things. The baby has never had caffeine before and he was quite active for that whole day and the next.
Today is Dan's birthday, we get to be the same age for 4 months, wah-hoo. I am so excited for Christmas, it's funny I've always enjoyed the holiday's, but it makes such a big difference when you've got a kid, everything is heightened. You get to see everything new again through their eyes.
On a side note, funny random things Christian has been up to. He has figured out how to take his pants off, the fact that he is skinny does help with how loose his pants hang on him even with a diaper. But the other day he figured it out, so often I find him wandering around in his shirt and diaper, that's it. It's so funny. He also knows all of letters, I know...my kids a genius! Just kidding, I really owe it to a leapfrog DVD and "Super Why" on PBS. He is also a mama's boy, this is a new development. He freaks when I leave him, so, nursery has been interesting with my calling.
As far as we can tell the baby is doing well, I'm scheduled to have another c-section in January, this is a good thing, for all of you who remember what I had to go through last time to get Christian, I am relieved to know that I don't have the possibility of having to go through all of that again. It feels like this pregnancy has flown by though, I can't believe we have another baby coming so quick! It has been interesting to try and figure out how to re-arrange Christian's room and closet to make room for another babe.
Okay well that's my life updated in a nutshell. I promise to post pics soon.
