gulianna: "she sings woman-nasa, woman-nasa!"
me: "ohhhhh...my phone, Womanizer, yeah that's Brittney Spears, you don't want to know about her"
gulianna: "oh okay."

yesterday I started sewing some brown ric rac on this cute blanket that my mom made for Anthony, and then half way down the second strip of ric rac, I realized that I also sewed on some tulle to the back, because I'm smart like that and my table is piled a foot high with multiple projects that I've been working on!
Then right after I took these pictures, I realized that my camera battery is almost dead, and since then I have searched high and low for it, where did it go?? I need it NOW! Hello...Halloween is 3 days! Anyone have a Nikon charger I can borrow please?
This morning we woke up to our first snowfall of the year. Then I was panicking because Gulianna doesn't have a coat that actually fits her anymore, well her one from last year fits, but the arms are small! Plus I had a coupon to Old Navy for 50% off any one outerwear, so that was a good excuse to use it, and it expires tomorrow. Well we didn't find a winter coat, but she did get a cute wool coat in punk pink! Isn't it cute! She loves it! Plus we got some good deals:
2 hello kitty shirts $3.17 each
3 long sleeve shirts $2.37 each
Jeans for Gulianna $1.56
Hat for Anthony $1.98
Grey sweater dress for Isa $7.14
2 pairs of earrings for me $1.38 each
<--------and her coat was only $11.72!!!
okay back to searching for my battery charger....

Anthony Levi is 8.5 weeks and can crawl to the edge of the bed {as of today}, okay scoot on his stomach, but still! And he may or may not have 2 bottom teeth coming in already!? He weighs approx. 12 lbs or more, we weighed him on our bathroom scale.
{past milestones}
First smile within the hour of being born :) First real laugh at two weeks old, it was in his sleep, and it went on for a while! He rolled over from his back to his stomach at exactly one week! Weighed a little over 10 lbs at around 5 weeks. Grew out of newborn diapers at 6 weeks.
Anthony loves to smile and talk and laugh, and most importantly EAT! Hungry all the time! He holds his head up really good! This little man is strong! We love our little brother!

It's seems like it gets harder and harder to take a picture. I know I need to learn more about my camera and settings...I've been taking photos without the flash for months now...and I would rather have a half blurry shot now than it wiped out by the flash! It doesn't help that we have absolute no lightening in our living room.
Isa was being such a stinker for these photos...Gulianna just wanted to go play outside already...today they wore their black shirts with the Halloween bows that I made for them last year, that matched their tutus. {and I'm just realizing that I never shared those either!}

this is what happens when I am busy nursing the baby, and can't get back to Isa in time before she crashes somewhere...
{9.10.2010}
the kitchen counter is where she ended up, and apparently she was tired of waiting for me to change her diaper so she just took it off!
{9.12.2010}
Two days later...
{10.1.2010}
and this time with dress up shoes on!

{9.6.2010}
this is when we went back to Carter's to trade in all the girl clothes for boy clothes!
This was the set of onesies I picked out the day before I had Anthony, 'in case it was a boy' lol!
He looks so tiny next to my giant pear!
Sleeping so peacefully!

we've been spoiled with baby gifts, lots of blankets, and cute clothes from everyone!
I love the polka.dot one! Can you tell I love polka.dots? She made 2 monkey blankets, but apparently Gulianna and Isabella have claimed those...
clothes from Claudia and Amy...
and more clothes from my tia Cathy...I love the robots :)
And while I was taking pictures of the boy clothes, I took a picture of these clothes that I had out before I put them back in the 'pink' storage bin. This was a couple days before I had Anthony, I was taking inventory of what I had, so that I could go shopping...for what I needed! I was suprised that was all the newborn stuff I had...
And these were the outfits that I had planned for pictures after the baby was born... isn't that pink crop sweater so cute! Remember when I thought I was having another girl, yeah that was funny! I wish I would have taken a picture of all the cute girl clothes I had bought before I returned them, lol!

this is when Anthony was a week old... I bought this cute blanket, love the orange, and the polka.dots in it! Levi said if I buy this, then no more making baby blankets...yeah right!

Gulianna was so happy that this cheesecake was PINK!
Isa and Grandma Cherrie...
Levi always has to mix his ice cream and root beer together...it drives me crazy! I like it not mixed and with ice cubes so that it is extra cold :)
Grandma Cherrie and baby Anthony...
This was on our way out, we were leaving all the booths at Swiss Days in Midway, and had to have a little treat! We had pink cheesecake and root beer floats! It was super hot outside! Anthony was just a week old! He did pretty good the whole time riding in the stroller, and just before we were leaving I had to nurse him...I asked this cute girl who was sitting in her camping chair {she had an empty one beside her} if I could sit down to feed him. She was taking a break while her husband was running her jewelry booth! There was a lot of cute things, but I didn't buy a single thing!

To me it still feels like summer, because it was that season when I had Anthony, two months ago! Really it's October??? We have been back and forth between Idaho since he was 2 weeks old. It's Levi's busy season for cleaning chimneys! {his little side business that he's had for.ever} The only thing is that when we go...we only have one car, so it makes it hard to get together with people and just get out to go somewhere! But we had fun. Gulianna & Isa have had fun playing with Alea non stop. And getting into trouble too :) This last weekend we were at my parent's house, and while we went to the 'Fall Festival' {isn't that the same thing as a Halloween Carnival, lol...} my mom and Annareigh went to Walmart to buy some fabric for the girls' halloween costumes! They were so excited! Gulianna is going to be Cinderella, and Isabella will be Snow White.
We are glad to be home now and in our own beds! Lot's of pictures coming up!

This was 2 days after I had Anthony...my parents drove down from Idaho to see their new grandson!
{and out of all the pictures...these were the best ones, both Gulianna and Isabella were not wanting pictures, we tried to give them cell phones, but that just distracted them more!}
Gulianna's birthday was the first of August...and since I didn't know when I was going to have the baby, we planned to have her birthday party on the 14th, thinking that I would have had the baby by then, and that my parents could come down for both the baby and her party! But that didn't happen...so here was Gulianna opening her presents from Grandma and Grandpa, she was so happy with all the Tinkerbell stuff she got!
And then later after they left, I made her use her Tinkerbell eraser to erase all of her drawings on the wall!
Also that same evening...she used her Tinkerbell MARKERS and colored all over her closet door in her room! By then I was done documenting with pictures of all the walls, so no picture...I still have to clean it off. We went and bought a box of 'magic erasers' to clean up all the other walls in the house.

"Mom! I found my brown flip flops they were in the Durango, I won't ever lose them again!"
"Keep your baby safe! I am going to a ballet recital!"
"Mom...do you like pickles?" {she's been watching Little Rascals lately!}
me: "go to the kitchen and share thoses crackers with Isa"
Gulianna: "I don't like them. I tried one of those crackers and they are NASTY!" lol!
