Boys will be Boys


So I bet you are all wondering why Jonah is sitting in his high chair naked with spit up all over him right? (FYI.. That's not teeth in Jonah's mouth, just a glare..and don't you like my classy way of blurring out his privates?) SO... I changed Jonah's diaper when I got home from running errands and he had just a little bit of "messy" in his diaper. After I changed him I sat him up next to me on the couch while I checked my e-mail. Immediately Jonah started to kick and whine, and I wasn't sure what was wrong because I just changed his diaper and he seemed fine! ..Until I smelled what was bothering him. I now know that Jonah was trying to warn me for what was about to come.. and I was NOT prepared!

I suddenly had a horrible thought come to me and I instantly picked Jonah up to confirm the worst had happened!.. He blew out his diaper, and it was so bad that it was seeping through his shirt. I jumped up and put him on his belly on the floor. I run and grab a mat to put under him, and then start to take off his shirt while still on his belly. I won't go into too much description of what it was like but as I start to wipe his back off , I realize there is nowhere to put down the very full wipes! So I run as fast as I can into the kitchen and grab a bag, but I'm too late! Jonah started to roll over and the mess has spread to his hands, the mat, and as he grabs my arm.. me! Oh boy!
SO Now I'm panicked.. It's the carpet next, and I want to avoid that at all costs. So I grab Jonah holding him as far away from me as I can, and I do the only thing that comes to mind. The bathtub. I'm sure everyone would laugh if they saw how I had to get te shower curtain open... while holding Jonah with my arms extended. After I get Jonah in the tub (b.t.w. Jonah is LOVING this whole extravaganza) I take off the diaper and start attempting to clean him off as best I can without getting it everywhere! No such luck though because Jonah was way too excited about being in the bathtub to hold still even a little. So after another big mess that I won't go into, but lets just say I could not get the poopy water out of the tub without having to set Jonah down,... but he is still messy, SO I do the only thing I can think of,... the kitchen sink!
As I take Jonah into the kitchen I realize there are dishes in the sink! Great! Now what!? I put Jonah in his high chair and clean out the sink as fast as I can before Jonah pees or something. (Luckily the camera was right there so I was able to take pictures of the whole thing!) I turn away for a second, and when I look back at Jonah,.. he had projectile spit up everywhere! This just keeps getting better!

Jonah loved the kitchen sink.. and to show me how much he loved it and loved me, he peed all over me while I was taking his picture.

So my question is: How do you avoid blow out diapers? I try to buy the good diapers that go up high in the back but it's not enough! Duct Tape maybe?

My oh my am I really that old? I know... 20 is not that old, but it's still a big age for me. I was thinking today that if someone told me 5 years ago that by age 20, I would be married and have a son I would have flat out laughed in their face! I know now that the lord for sure understands and knows each of us and what will make us happy. I had such a great birthday! Zach has been planning what we would do for like a month now and I had no clue what was in store. First he surprised me with a sewing machine (early) which I was super excited about and haven't stopped using since! Than this morning we went to Mimi's for breakfast and than he surprised me with a mini shopping spree to wherever I wanted. It was perfect.. since I desperately need new clothes and have been kicking myself for donating all of my pre-pregnancy jeans after I had Jonah. If there's any advice I can give to those of you who are pregnant it's DO NOT THROW AWAY ANY OF YOU"RE NON-MATERNITY CLOTHES! YOU WILL LOOSE THE WEIGHT EVENTUALLY! Anyway, So after we went shopping we dropped Jonah off at home and his Uncle Ben babysat. Zach then surprised me with a Movie! We saw Horton Hears a Who. It was perfect for the mood I was in and I actually really enjoyed the movie! After the movie we went to Tucanos for dinner and stuffed ourselves with grilled pineapple, beef brisket, turkey wrapped in bacon, and sirloin. (I am definitely NOT a vegetarian ;)) I think we were done eating in like 15 minutes. I wish you could have an all day pass to that place because you get so full so fast but an hour later I wanted more! But I really NEEDED to get home and nurse, or else I would have been really miserable.
When we got home Ben was holding Jonah in the bathroom sink, letting im splash his feet in the water. It looked like they had a lot of fun together!
I was really sad because I wanted to take pictures of the whole day because I was really curious to what we were even doing since it was a surprise. Unfortunately, I forgot so here is the one and only picture of my birthday. Thanks to Zach for making it such a memorable day! (I love how Jonah is of course not smiling in the picture. Will he ever learn?)

I'm a material girl

My sweet, thoughtful husband gave me my birthday present early! I got an awesome sewing machine and I can't get away from it! The only problem: I don't exactly know how to sew! So, I'm just fooling around trying to get good before I really invest money and real projects into it.My sister Kelley decided she wanted in on the fun too! So she bought some material and made Jonah the cutest little outfit! Of course kelley is a natural when it comes to stuff like this! Too bad the outfit ended up being a little too small for Jonah because it is sooo darn cute!
Here is the fancy bottoms and vest she made with a beanie I made.

I also made a shirt. This one made out of scraps I had lying around the house. So, as you can see, it's not something I will probably be wearing out of the house. Especially compared to the outfit Kelley made for Jonah. But hey! I'm still excited that I sewed an actual piece of clothing!
More and More Improved to come!

My Baby

I Can't get enough of this Porker! !

I've been tagged!

1.Where were you ten years ago?

I was a frumpy 10 year old at good old Somis School, living in Camarillo, CA. I was obsessed with Leonardo DiCaprio. My sister Kelley gave me a notebook full with pictures of him and my friends and I would sit and look at it during Silent Sustain Reading (SSR). I'd cover it with a real book so our teacher couldn't see.(Wow I was such a weirdo!) Than (I have to remind Kelley)She decided to take the "Lovin Leo" notebook away and pretend like she never gave it to me for my birthday!, I had bushy eye brows and bad hair. I was obsessed with the Backstreet Boys too!

2. 5 things on my To Do List....

1. Do Laundry.. I swear it never ends!
2. Go to the Grocery Store.
3. Find a way to help Jonah sleep better at night.
4. Study and finally get my Esthetician License.
5. Read the B.O.M. everyday.

3. Things I would do if I became a Millionaire..

Hmm... First, pay off any debt or Student Loans. Buy second car! Invest, buy a house, and then go on a much needed vacation! .. Oh and shop while there!

4. 3 Of My bad habits...

1. Every time I try on a piece of clothing, I never hang it back up. My closet is NEVER very clean because of it.
2. Eating sweets. My husband and I both have a bad sweet tooth! I try and try to quit, but every now and then a Symphony Bar is just too delicious to say no to.
3. I keep trying to put Jonah in his crib all night because (long story) I'm just not getting very much sleep with him in bed with me, but I'm just too tired to care at night. Without fail, around 2 or 3 AM he's back in bed with me. Hopefully that changes soon.

5. 5 places I have lived...

1. Troutdale, Oregon.
2. Yuma, Arizona
3. Camarillo, California
4. Goodyear, Arizona

6. 5 jobs I have had..

1. I was a nanny for a couple families all through High school.
2. The Pita Pit... mmmm haha
3. BRG Research
4. An Estetician while attending school.
5. Most important Job, a mother!

7. Something that people don't know about me...

I have a gimp pinky! HAHA! (That's what my husband calls it) I broke it when I was younger and my parents never believed me so the ligament isn't attached anymore to hold it up on its own. .. Yup! I'm SPECIAL!

Okay, Now I tag Cristin, Kelley, and Vanessa!

Spring is in the Air!...

..and I'm loving it!I take Jonah for a walk almost every day now and the other day i realized that he has never experienced grass! He was a little out of his comfort zone but I think he enjoyed it.



This is my favorite because it shows exactly how Jonah was probably feeling about the grass... confused.

Happy 5 Month Birthday Jonah!

Today Jonah is offically Five months old! Horray! Here are a few things I look forward to in his 6 month of life!
Jonah grabs hair like he's grabbing his seat belt on a roller coaster! I look forward to him breaking this habit within his 6th month.
Jonah will learn to smile on cue for a picture!....we hope.
Mommy and Daddy will be better about keeping up with the laundry!
and I especially look forward for Daddy to not hang Jonah up side down!
Jonah is such a fun little guy! Happy 5 months Buddy! I can't wait for next month!

Miracle Whip

Just a thought. I don't like Miracle Whip. It's scary for me to eat something that has the word "Miracle" in it. I don't know what the miracle is, and I'm scared to find out. My husband loves miracle whip.. I guess it's an acquired taste. I used to work at a sandwich shop and I always got mad when customers would ask if I could put miracle whip on their sandwich besides mayo. Why would you pay six dollars for a sandwich and then ruin it with Miracle Whip!? Luckily, we didn't have M.W. so they had to suffer with real Mayonnaise . Anyway, last night I made and ate 2 delicious BLT's and for SOME reason I used Miracle Whip! (I didn't think there was any mayo left). When I started to put the M.W. away, I noticed it expired over a month ago! I was sick all night. I hate old food! Especially when you're already afraid of it!



* If anyone Loves Miracle Whip. Please don't be offended by this post.
