Whew.......Stephanos is 6 weeks old today

So, I think we're up to date. I'm still going over photos, but I think that's it. It's been a crazy 6 weeks! He's been to Disneyland four times, had a visit from Yaya and Papou, enjoyed Thanksgiving compliments of mommy:), one month check-up weighing 12.5 pounds, some crazy gassy nights, and lots more. Tonight we head to the Drive Thru Nativity at church, after we eat chili at The Bobar's. It's challenging with two kids. At times I feel like I'm slowing floating further away from the light at the end of the tunnel, oh or drowning. Just when I got the hang of life as a mom, we have baby #2 and our almost 2 yr old is getting attitude!!!!!! A boy is very different. Still learning to share what spare time I had from Ame's schedule with Stephanos. Ame is saying no and why!!! WHY..... really!!!

Let it snow

The day after Thanksgiving we made a mad dash to Bella Terra for Santa and Snow!!! After we said we were going to have a relaxing night at home. Funny how things change. It's soooo awesome to be close to the fam. Just a phone call away and in 10 minutes we're listening to a Blues band sing Christmas music, in arms with the ones you love.

Stephanos' first Thanksgiving




Amelia in charge

After dinner, we went to Starbucks to heat up some milk and mommy got her Gingerbread Latte decaf. Amelia had us all doing a rondejon (SP) in Starbucks. Even Papa.


Disneyland to see the raindeer 11/23



We saw Santa's raindeer! They were fighting for some reason. It was a very crazy busy day!!! It was fun though.

Amelia is ready for golf!!!! Lunch at the country club with the family on 11/22. Stephanos is looking forward to growing up and kicking daddy's butt in a round of golf. That is, after Amelia does!!!!! :)



Kiddos...

11/20 Amelia's last Tumble Class, where we had a party and Amelia received her graduation certificate. We were both so proud. She LOVES tumble class. We sign up again in January!

Week 5 Stephanos starts to smile



I was changing his diaper last Tuesday and while talking to him he gave me the biggest smile ever! He's been giving them ever since. I love them. He's also so strong with lifting his head.

Decorating the tree



Snowing at Disneyland!!!!





We enjoyed some yummy peppermint stick ice cream in a waffle cone dipped in chocolate with red and green jimmies! Well at least Amelia and I did. YUMMY!!!!! It was so cool to be on Main Street!!!!

Here we go on the Merry-go-round! Princesses only




It's a Small World...Disneyland...Stephanos' 3rd visit





December 2nd, 3rd visit to Disneyland for Stephanos and Auntie Krista's birthday. Auntie Sarah, Nana, me and the kids got an early start on celebrating Auntie Krista's life. Amelia loves lollipops! "whall-ee-yah?" She asks over and over. On our 2nd trip, I got her a Mickey lollipop. She cherished it, waiting to eat it until she was absolutely ready.
