Name::Heather Noel From::Augusta, Georgia, United States
I am 29, almost 30. I have been married to the man of my dreams for almost 3 years. We have a two year old little boy who rocks our world. I started this blog so my friends and family around the U.S. could keep up with our little family and see how big our little man gets every day. View my complete profile
Well I was informed by someone who also reads my other blog that they had never seen this picture before. My fault. I had planned on posting it but I forgot. This was taken the Sunday before his hair cut. The chair he is sitting in actually belonged to his daddy when he was a baby. He still has "Scotty" carved in the bottom. I think its awesome that he has something like that of Scott's. I asked my mother in law if she had a picture of Scott in it so I can put them together. If I get one I will share. He's been a little stinker these past few days. He's learned some new form a giberish. It kinda sounds like bedabedabeda...he goes on and on, and thinks its hilarious when you do it. I've come to realize I have a pretty funny kid. He makes everyone laugh, and making him laugh is great. Because he thinks everything is funny. I shake my hair; he laugh; I take off my glasses; he cracks up; Scott sticks out his tounge; or if we act like we're putting his pacy in our mouth you should hear him. One day I will catch him in one of the laughing fits and record it. Well I'm off for now. Later.

And he did so good. He was excited when he first saw the big bunny. he wiggled out of Scott's arms and ran right up to him. He stood there and looked for a minute and when the bunny put out his arms he went right to him. We had a hard time getting him to look at the camera because he wanted to look at the bunny. LOL. But he did eventually and this is what we got. He also got a book and he's had me read it 3 times already. Well I'm off to cook some dinner and watch American Idol. VOTE FOR CHRIS!!! Later ya'll

Okay, I need some imput from other moms out there. My child is a pickey eater. I would bet money thats why he is anemic. Right now about all he eats is, french toast fingers and bananas in the morning. Yogourt and bagel for lunch with some cheese. And dinner mac and cheese and hot dogs. Now dont think I dont try new foods. Because I do. I've tried vegetables, hamburger...once in awhile he will eat chicken nuggets. But if he doesnt eat I break down and feed him what I know he will eat. Because I worry about him not eating. So do I do the whole you're going to sit there until you eat it routine...(I kinda think he's a little young for that one). Or should I just keep trying new foods and let him eat what he want until he gets tired of it. I hate that he's so pickey. He has to get it from his dad, because I am so not pickey. LOL. Anyways. Any advise or stories are welcomed. And appreciated much.

Well Tanner got invited to a birthday party today...the first time without us. And it looks like he had a good time. The party was at Ft. Discoveryand you can only have so many kids and so many adults so Scott's mama took him. Since she is closer to the family. She said he had a blast watching all the kids. While he was at the party Scott and I took advantage of being alone and went to brunch and the Cracker Barrell. Loved it. Then we went to WalMart to pick up some stuff for the vehicals and the yard. Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so we can plant our grass. And as for the the neighbor issue...we're going to call the Health Dept and the humane society on Mon. and see what happens. Hopefully they will come and and assess the situation and make them fix it. HOPEFULLY. Oh well I;m off to do some laundry. The little one is all tuckered out and already asleep, so I need to take advantage of it. Until later ya'll.

So I'm sure you are wondering what you are looking at. This would be what I see every time I look out my back door. I've blogged about the issues we've had with our neighbors so I decided to share. All that dirt is our property and that wooden thing in the corner is home to 2 pitbull puppies. Who never get to come out. They still have no electricity, water or sewage as you see in the picture this is "suppose" to be their septic tank. Well I'v had enough. Scott and I talked today and decided to hire a surveryer to come survey the land. And once we have the paper in hand I guess we will have to call the sheriff's dept. I dont know. I dont know if its the right thing to do or not. I do know they are going into the woods to use the restroom. Scott has seen them more than once at 2 in the morning going out there. Any suggestions? Advice? I really dont want to be the bad neighbor. BUT if they put that septic tank in wrong and it backs up into the fence where we are trying to fix the yard up for Tanner....we want to put up a privacy fence but we cant do that unless they move all those pipes and fill the ground in. Ugh. I just dont know what to do. I wish I knew who to call. I've had people tell me to call DSS (dept of Social Services) because they have kids. But I dont want that on my conscience. Then I'm kind of scared of the reprocutions. I mean if we do this, they still live there. I dont know. Well I'm off. I'm going to try not to think about it....O yeah...pitbulls?! Is just me or are they just scary dogs period. I mean they go nuts on the drop of a dime. What happens when they're bigger and they've been in that box for 4 months? I'll be scared to leave my house.

Well today my little man in 15 months old. Where has the time gone? Since it is monthly milestone we decided to take him and have his hair cut. (Yes Beck we finally did it). He did awesome. He didnt cry or whine. We took him to this place called YAMS (I wish they had a website because I would promote them big time). We saw their add on Tv awhile ago and decided that was where we would take him They only cut kids hair. And they were wonderful. So sit back. I have some pictures to post. ***It wont let me post any pics right now. I will try again later.
This is the one they took before his hair was cut
This is right before she started. This is the finished product!!

So I had a long day at work, when Scott left Tanner crawled up on the couch with me and I was like "COOL" he's going to take a nap so I can take a little one too. Well I must have dosed off because I'm waking up to a soda being spilled on my HEAD!!! Go ahead and laugh. Its one of those I want to beat his butt moments, but if I didnt fall asleep then he wouldnt of done it. So I turned on the mommy voice which made him cry. Not only is my hair sticky he got it all over himself. Talk about the end to a perfect day. Not! Anyway not too much else is going on. I cant wait for tomorrow to be over so I can have the day off with Scott. Since I worked on Sat. Well I just heard the over timer go off. So I'm going to eat. Give Toot a bath and then take one myself. Until later.

Well this weekend our back yard is under major construction. I dont get to help because someone has to keep the little one occupied. When we had both dogs, they really tore up our yard. And we didnt do anything to fix it because we never went back there. But now Tanner is old enough to go outside and so its time to get it into shape. I will post some pictures later but you have to remember it needs much work. This weekend they have tilled the whole yard. So its pretty much just dirt so we can plant some grass. We want to get a little slide and sandbox back there for Tanner. Like I said its still has a long way to go. Scotts dad built the BBQ pit and we have to get a table and chairs. Hopefully by May or June it will look like a real yard. I think next weekend we're going to build the dog a pin because once we get the yard straight we dont want him to mess it up. Well I'm off. I will post some pics later.

Mean Moms- Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me: I loved you enough . to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home. ~~~~ loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep. I loved you enough to make you go pay for the bubble gum you had taken and tell the clerk, "I stole this yesterday and want to pay for it." ~~~ I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes. ~~~~ I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, and tears in my eyes. Children must learn that their parents aren't perfect. ~~~~ I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your actions even when the penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart. ~~~ But most of all, I loved you enough . . to say NO when I knew you would hate me for it. ~~~~ Those were the most difficult battles of all. I'm glad I won them, because in the end you won, too. And someday when your children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them. ~~~ Was your Mom mean? I know mine was. We had the meanest mother in the whole world! While other kids ate candy for breakfast, we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast. When others had a Pepsi and a Twinkie for lunch, we had to eat sandwiches. And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was different from what other kids had, too. Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times. You'd think we were convicts in a prison. She had to know who our friends were, and what we were doing with them. She insisted that if we said we would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less. We were ashamed to admit it, but she had the nerve to break the Child Labor Laws by making us work. We had to wash the dishes, make the beds, learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry, empty the trash and all sorts of cruel jobs. I think she would lie awake at night thinking of more things for us to do. She always insisted on us telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. By the time we were teenagers, she could read our minds and had eyes in the back of her head. Then, life was really tough! Mother wouldn't let our friends just honk the horn when they drove up. They had to come up to the door so she could meet them. While everyone else could date when they were 12 or 13, we had to wait until we were 16. Because of our mother we missed out on lots of things other kids experienced. None of us have ever been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other's property or ever arrested for any crime. It was all her fault. Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults. We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was. I think that is what's wrong with the world today. It just doesn't have enough mean moms!

Well 2 years ago I married the man of my dreams. I know 2 years may not seem so long for some people but for me...its a lifetime. Not too long ago I thought I would never get married and settle down. Then on Nov 15 2002 I met this wonderful man, not knowing a year and half later we would be married. Granted our start wasnt easy but we came to realize we never wanted to be apart. So here we are 2 years later and with our son. Life couldnt be better. So thank you Scott for being everything I could have ever wanted in a man...and a best friend. I love you with all my heart and I cant wait for the next 50 or 60 of these to come. Love you so much!!!

So I guess I had that henious 24 hour bug. But let me tell you kicked my tail. I feel alot better now. Just a little sluggish. But I guess thats to be expected after a day of praying to the porcalin gods right? Beck thanks for offering to get the little one, but my mother in law came and got him yesterday morning and Scott picked him up on the way home so I had the whole day to be sick by myself. Which is good. I didnt want to give it to Scott or back to Tanner. So I've also been sleeping on the couch. But now that I'm feeling better I need to go get some cleaning done. Has anyone else from down here notice how hot it got all of a sudden. I swear this Ga weather needs to make up its mind.

Well those of you who read my blog probably think I have the most sickly child in the world. I promise I dont. It just seems like when one thing happens the rest just seems to follow. Tues we went to the dr for his monthly check up for his anemia. It turns out that his levels have dropped even more. But our dr said not to worry. Lots of babies have iron defisionsies. Once we get his levels where they are suppose to be he wont have to take drops anymore. While we were there I had her check out his diaper rash. Which she said thats what it was. But when we told her about it she said the same thing Steph did, probably a yeast infection. But it wasnt. She told us we were doing a good job and to keep up with whatever we were doing. Then we go through the have you changed anything in his diet. Tried any new foods. Which we havent. I told her the ony thing differant was he started the iron drops. She had all intentions of taking him of the drops but since the levels were lower she couldnt. So she gave us a differant kind. Which he likes it smells like grapes so I'm guessing thats what it taste like. And he only has to get them once a day. Which is a plus. So Wed was uneventful. Yesterday I got home from work and Scott said he had been kinda mopey all day. Just laying down and watching tv. Which is not normal for my child. So when Scott went to work Tanner crawled up in my lap and just snuggled. Ten minutes later he's throwing up all over the place. Me, him, the rug. Thats the first time he has ever thrown up. My first thought was he gagged himself because he does that sometimes. So I cleaned us up and we sat back down and he did it again. This went on for an hour. I called the dr and when she called back he finally fell asleep. Not before throwing up the pedalite I tried to get him to drink. So the dr said if it continued for 4 hours to take him to the ER. But to let him sleep. Not to give him any food (duh) and just a tbls of pedalite at a time. And to call back if it got worse. Well he woke up about an hour later and yes the poor thing got sick again. Then he went back to sleep. He got up 30 minutes later and started playing like nothing was wrong. Go figure. I still didnt give him anything but pedalite. But today he's been eating anything you put in front of him. So I dont know what was wrong. I asked about the new iron drops but she said he would have shown signs the day before. But he's up and running now. Just a little pale. Then somewhere in there he crawled on our bed and fell off and bruised his cheek. So HOPEFULLY next week will be uneventful for my little man. He needs break. Until later ya'll.

Have you ever looked at your younger brother or sister and wonder when did they go from being that little pain in the butt to this abosolutly wonderful person who is now your best friend? I do. I look at pictures like this and remember Kris getting in the way or always trying to tag along with me and my friends or tattle telling on me for on reason or another. Yet she never told the important stuff. That always stayed between me and her. And now today she is 22 years old and I couldnt imagin her not being my best friend. I couldnt even tell you when it happened, her going from being a brat to my best friend. But all I know is that I am blessed. Not many people call their sisters their best friends. Anyways Happy birthday Kris!! I love you Brat...akfghfhgru (so does Tanner)

As you can see from my chatterbox, its been a little while since I last posted. My parents came down yesterday and took Kristi back home. Which kinda sucks. Tanner woke up this morning and headed for her room looking for her. Poor baby, he doesnt understand. He just knows when my parents come down someone leaves. Lets see. I finished my mom's scrapbook for her. I finished reading another Jodi P. book. Which I might post a topic of discussion on. Um....we rented some movies that I wanted to see. Flight Plan , 40 year old virgin, which I didnt think woud be good but it was funny. My little man is suffering from a diaper rash. I dont know what else to do. I have tried everything. I let him run around with no diaper on today. I've been peed on like 3 times. I guess tomorrow I'm going to have to call his pediatrician. Because its not clearing up. In fact I think its getting worse. We havent tried any new foods or drinks and believe me I change him all the time. I've gone through a pack of diapers in less than a week and thats not normal. So if any one has any suggestions. They are certainly welcome at this point. I hate knowing he's hurting. Well I'm off to cook him some dinner and hopefully get him to bed soon so I can get everything ready for work. Until later ya'll.
