March recap
The boys kept us on our toes as always.
Noah started walking along furniture and finally learned to get down to the floor without falling. Despite a nagging cough, cold and an occasional fever... he's still all smiles. He's starting to lose those yummy chubby cheeks but he's making up for it in length. He can look ouside the window without tippy-toeing and just today he was reacing and tapping some piano keys keys while standing. He got to enjoy his first Easter with us and he's still waiting for spring to make its appearance. He loves Cheerios, Josh's toys, splashing the water during baths and finally being able to sit in a high chair when we're out. Still toothless but that never stops him from grabbing everything off our plates and stuffing it in his mouth.
Joshua was busy all month openning drawers and cupboards in search of snacks. Almonds, pudding, and strawberries... he hoarded them all. When he wasn't snacking, he was playing with the light switches. We hear a good share of "Uh-oh... it's dark!" everyday. It's cute for the first 30 sec and then we start to wonder what our electrical bill will look like and that cuteness quickly fades. The Easter bunny brought him a flashlight but it's not the same. Josh's true love at the moment is "Daddy's new car." He can now spot a Honda anywhere. Rich is good about taking him on evening rides... just the two of them. Sometimes they get ice cream, typically it's just a long ride near the airport. He's ready for more trips to the park... now if only the weather would comply.
And little by little these two are starting to bond. Awesome.

this week...
It's been such a longgggg winter. Can't wait for spring to finally get here. Good news is that my ticker is a-ok. All of my tests came back normal. Source of my chest pain still unknown but the frequency and intensity has subsided and I'm back in the gym. Sort of... can't seem to find the motivation to go there more consistently. I'll blame that on the weather as well.
The boys are growing like weeds. Noah is crawling, standing using furniture and eating rice, Cheerios and french fries despite the fact he remains toothless. He adores his Kuya even when he's being sat on or told a million times "NOOOO...AH! Don't touch that!"
Josh is progressing with his OT/Speech therapies. He's a bright and awesome little man and we are confident he will be just fine. He is mentoring us to be more patient and better parents. And for this, we are grateful.
Some of my fave moments from this week...
A P&B sandwich for breakfast
Talking on the phone with daddy (about how wonderful mama is)
Sorting through Grammy's goodies from the Philippines...
and then becoming a part of it (ummm... you're sitting on her glass bowls)...
Kuya Josh naming Noah's body parts
Standing is a breeze... getting down not so easy.
Waiting for his first spring by our front window
I have to work tommorow and Rich will finally get a much needed day off. He'll be home with the boys so I hope they take it easy on him.
Now get off the computer and have a great weekend everyone!

taking it easy
So I've had this nagging feeling in my heart on and off during the past month. Knowing my extensive family history of heart disease I got a check up by a cardiologist on Valentine's Day (ironic, I know). There are a series of tests I will undergo next week hopefully to rule out a lot of things I don't want (a blood clot, a hole in the heart, blocked arteries, and on and on). What lays ahead can get overwhelming at times but I try not to let it get to me. All I want are answers and the thumbs up to be able to workout again. In the meantime I need to watch my diet better, get plenty of rest and simply enjoy the company of my boys. No worries. I am in good hands.
So Noah just learned to sit about two weeks ago and he's already trying to stand. Here he is reaching for the couch, getting on his knees and coming mighty close to standing until he slid back down. Rich and I are truly wishing we had a pause or stop button. Slow down my son... you are simply growing up way too fast.
They're predicting more snow tomorrow {sigh}. Truly looking forward to spring so we can pull out the strollers and walk to the playground.
Nighty-night.

365 project
After a rough start to the New Year (dead car battery, trip to the ER with the boys... they're fine now, some viral thing going around that gave them high fevers, and Rich's car needing a new transmission), finally getting some time to catch up on housework (yikes... the x-mas tree needs to come down pronto), scrapping (shame on you Rich for laying the computer on top of my layout!) and playing with the boys (now minus the coughing on my face). Nevermind that I have a sore throat and achy body (ummm... mom's aren't allowed to get sick remember?). Just waiting for my cell phone battery to recharge and off to Costco. Note to self... better make a list!
Sorry I'm just rambling here (it's the virus getting to me). Once things settle down I promise to catch up on emails and phone calls. Everyone is doing this 365 pics in a year project. It really seemed like a lot of work at first but actually, it's not so bad. So here's my take... just some day to day images of my boys with a note or two about that day. Nothing fancy. Enjoy... :)
