What a personality!!:)

oh I just wanted to sure how funny Jace is:) I think he's gonna have a mix personality of Jesse and my dad..they're both pretty funny!! Two nights in a row...Jace woke me up around 4am...giggling and making noises...I go into his room and he's standing up his crib cracking up! I couldn't help but laugh and then I had to wake Jesse up so he could see...it's like he wakes up and is determined to pull up in his crib...and then goes back to sleep...I don't know why it cracks me up...maybe you have to be there to see it...he's just funny! Here's some pictures of him playing with his giant teddy bears Nana, Papa, Auntie, and Ciara got him..when Daddy put the teddy bear in his crib..he started whining at first, but then started laughing..I'm sure that looks pretty scary from a baby's view:) Anyway...he's growing up fast and we're just enjoying every moment...his 1st year birthday is coming up and we can't wait to celebrate our lil blessing:)!

Jace Crawling and Pulling Up!

Here's some pictures I tried to catch when he was crawling and pulling up....wow...I've never been so pooped...everyone is so right when they say you better be happy they're not crawling yet...b/c when they do...man it's hard work! So today he crawled all around his room...first for the drawers...which I have to nail shut..then the plugs! then the fan! oh and the rocking chair...everything is so dangerous..you really can't take your eyes off of them..man our house is so not baby friendly...we've got some work to do this weekend babyproofing everything...anyone have a coffee table they want to sell.?..mines glass!

I must say I am proud of him though and he's proud of himself...he gets so happy..and I think he stresses about it when's sleeping...like dreaming about it...he's determined to grow up...oh and now he wants to hold his own spoon when he eats like a big boy..I'm so sad...they really do grow up before your eyes:( I love my lil baby:)

We're back!!!!

We're back!!! Sorry we've been gone so long! Parenthood is busy and there's always something going on in the Salom household...no relaxing:)....Jace is sleeping and Jesse is at the Yankee/Ranger game for Paul's birthday tonight so Mommy has some down time:)! Happy Birthday Paul!!!

We've had a couple of milestones I'm so proud to announce...first

Jace went on his first trip on the airplane to Panama City, Florida!!! He was an absolute angel...good lil boy...he slept, ate, and flirted with everyone sitting around us...he's such a flirt:) He loves the attention:)

and he's stood up in his crib!!!:) and then started crawling!!! We're so proud of him!!!...he started with slithering backwards on his stomach like a snake, then would always try and pull up wherever he could, and then pulled himself him in his crib!! and then just two days ago...crawled across his room!!!! I will post pics soon! Here's some from our Florida trip.

Oh an Update!

Soooooooo....its been awhile..I feel bad because everytime I give you an update it's about him being sick...but really are babies sick this much?! Well I mean babies that go to daycare?! He now has or is on the last day hopefully of this sickness called "croupe" weird! Where do they come up with these sicknesses...anyway it's a another viral infection that closes the airways and he has to take steriods to open it back up.I have so much anxiety about him being ok..oh the worrying..I do too much of it( I get that from my mommy!) and ..poor baby he has to go through so much...please mommies out there do not take your kids to daycare if they're sick...you're just passing the misery on to everyone else!

On a better note, My first mother's day was good:) and Jace is growing up so fast...he's sitting up and now pushing forward to start crawling I think...and also taking back steps in his walker and a few front steps...big boy:)! He's also babbling alot...I could have sworn he's saying Dada and Mama when he's crying for us in his crib...hahahha...I could be imagining things....He just gets sweeter and cuter everyday..I'm enjoying him so much and such a proud mommy..I feel like I want to cry when I look at him sometimes..he just makes me so happy. He's been such a wonderful baby:) I'm looking forward to our beach vacation coming up in Florida in July! First beach time!

I love these pictures!

My handsome lil son! I love you!

Hi!

Hi! i wasn't sure what to title this one...so here again Jace has a fever and now what they call hand, foot, and mouth virus..it sounds nasty but supposedly it's pretty normal for kids to get this...of course he got it from daycare...he's been sick more than healthy since he started daycare I feel like! but the doctor says by the time he reaches Kindergarten he'll be the healthy, sick-free kiddo! So there is light at the end of the tunnel:)...so anyway he has sores on his throat which makes him not want to eat and really fussy..:(

.today is Ella's 1st birthday party..we're so sad to miss it! Happy Birthday Ella!

On a good note...he started eating solids prior to this sickness, he's eaten cereal, peas and sweet pototoes so far! he likes it! Some pics attached!

Seriously...

Seriously...my baby doesn't sleep!!!! :( but it may have to do with that he's been sick the last 4 days with a viral infection with a high fever!!!That's the worst when they're sick...up all night worried, they wake up every hour, have to keep pumping him with tylenol and he won't let me put him down...ahhhh...I love him so much but he needs to let me sleep !

I feel like all i do is drink coffee and i've turned into this grumpy old woman...his 6 month appt is coming up and we need to try really hard to fix this!

Please pray we can fix this so we can both get some decent sleep and I can become my old self again:(
