1 mo.and loving milk like never before...
Our little Takoda is growing so fast. He loves eating, which really isn't surprising since he comes from both Todd and I:) Takoda loves smiling even though most of the time it's when he's sleeping. So about 2 weeks ago I had him safely on the bed while i was in the bathroom and all of a sudden I hear him crying very loudly, I know something is wrong, so i rush in...i find that his hand had grabbed a huge chunk of his own hair and would not let go...poor guy:) Another quick story; So we were both sleeping on the bed. I woke up to him exploding in his diaper. I reached over to put the changing pad underneath him and with droopy eyes began to change him. As I was wiping his little behind..yep he exploded again..and because I had his legs up in the air the poop shot straight at me, landing on my chest and proceeded to drip down onto my stomach. I was in shock...of course his face is as if nothing happened. I reached over to get more wipes...and while doing so I forgot to cover his dingy..so now he is peeing all over the wall and bed...I was like, you've got to be kidding...Then I look over and he has spit up and is now coughing because I have him on his back, so i hurry and put him on his side, not know what else could possibly happen. He was one happy kid though after all was said and done...talk about a fun way to wake up! :)

Merry Christmas!

bad angle? nope just getting chubby...

Who says it doesn't snow in Vegas?

Wednesday 11am-10pm...and going

Family

Thanksgiving this year was so much fun. It has been so busy since Takoda was born. So many people have come to visit, my cousins from Zuni came and my dear friend Tamara flew in from Maryland.

Then as a Thanksgiving surprise Clint and Jennelle flew in from Chicago! Everyone was home and so what else do you do when everyone is together?...Family Pictures:)!!! All 15 of us went to Sears to get pictures done, you know I was thrilled 1 week after having Takoda...:) But the photos turned out great and will post once we get them. Can you believe there are 5 grandchildren already?

Now that I have a moment I'm posting some recent pictures of Takoda. He and I are doing well. It's been nice having so much help, although most of the time I just want to do it myself:) I'm trying to get rest, but it's hard when it's December and all you want to do is decorate or shop for presents:) I love being a mom and really can't believe it....I and Todd are truly blessed with a healthy child and are so greatful for all of the support we've had!

Enjoy!

Takoda Walker Bliss

born 11/19/08

8.5lbs

19.5 in.

Can you believe he was born early. Tuesday night I woke up every hour experiencing intense contractions 2 an hour. By 8:00 in the morning I was having them about every 7-8 min. I had my last dr. appt. scheduled that day at 2:00. I called saying I don' t know if I should wait until then, can I come in earlier. They said yep..how about 1:00. Todd and I took the overnight bag just in case and off we went. The Dr. said wow, your at a 6-7 and 100%..get her a wheel chair. Luckily the dr. office is connected to the hosptial, so I was in my room getting iv's stuck into me in no time:) Finally at 9:27 p.m. our little Takoda was born. It has been such a whirl wind but loving every minute of it. Todd and I are so happy and love looking at our little boy. I'm getting new born photos done this week, so i'll post some of those later. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Does this tell you anything?...Yep i'm nervous! anxious, excited, nervous, happy, curious, nervous...:)

Todd, the parents and I have been so busy getting the house in order for our little family. I feel as though i've been packing, repacking, unpacking and organizing consecutively! But I think i'm finally sane and ready for this new adventure. I know i haven't posted recent pictures of my pregnant self, so i will Sunday, since that is the day we girls usually look our best:) I went to the dr.'s last Wed. and she said i'm at a good 2 and 70%. So i'm hoping he really does come before Thanksgiving. I'll keep all of you posted on my next visit this Wed! Hope you all had a great week!

Drum Roll Please....

Although apt. living has been a blast:)...I'm happy to announce we will be moving into a HOUSE! Finally right? The house hunting has been such an adventure. Because our focus was on foreclosure's it was an adventure we mentally weren't ready for...But somehow conquered everything that came our way. So pretty much if you have any questions about home buying Todd & I are here to answer anything and give you our trustworthy opinion:) Truly we are so excited and can't wait for our new mortgage:) ...j/k! We can't wait for the new beginnings we will be experiencing this next month. With our little "TJ" coming the 21st and closing on Monday, we can't be more thrilled with the changes about to take place!

Who is taller? Of course Toddy dady da
Who is the better singer? Haaa so Todd seriously sings really well...if you can hear him in that rare moment that is:) So he doesn't so much like to sing in public,(such as in church) he says b/c he can't read music and the only time he really was able to learn the hymns were on the mission so he only knows the songs in Spanish...good excuse right...but when he's with his guitar and no one in the room he's really good. Oh when he hears his favorite artist on the radio, he's hilarious in trying to sing along with them...he pretends he is the artist and pretends he's capable of hitting all the the high, low..or whatever notes...really it's a fun adventure in the car when a good song comes on.
Who is smarter? Okay do all my answers have to be Todd. I guess....yes todd is smarter. He isn't only book smart he's street smart as well. He has taught me so much these past years. So sometimes I will say.."Did you know...blah blah blah" and he'll be like oh yeah and blah blah blah...So now I think..ooh I got him...Did you know Britney's Spears little sister Jamie Spears is rumored to being pregnant..and he'll say..yeah i heard that the other day on the radio...I just can't seem to win:)

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me! Finally Me!
Who cooks dinner? uhhhh both? Yeah ever since being pregnant, in the first 2 trimesters cooking wasn't my thing...I never felt like eating anything that usually went together...so todd would have to pick up the slack and cook awesome dinners. I've turned into liking to bake now, more than cook.
Who drives? Todd...Although I think 1/2 the time I should. I still have to remind him where to turn, where we're going...he kinda just doesn't think clearly when on the road:) is that bad?
Who's the first to say when their wrong? We are now both good at this. In the beginning of the marriage I would say Todd. I was bad at admitting it...but after many conversations:) and help...:)haa haa i've learned to admit it and go on from there.
Who kissed who first? It was mutual...we were watching The Ring at his buddies house. Good times...good times...
Who asked out who first? Todd asked me! He walked me out to my car after we met at a mutual friends apt. and asked if I'd like to go to the movies that next weekend with him. We saw The Recruiter.
*I tag anyone who thinks this would benefit their marriage:) j/k ... anyone

Love you Woog!
