It's official...

The Manganello's are ill :-(  I was only able to work on Monday this week as Noah was sick Tuesday and then although my body had been fighting it, I too got sick.... and now Dave is sick! Boo. At least I've been able to stay home... but Dave still has to go to work :( poor guy. I hope and pray we are all better for Saturday though! We are supposed to go over the Rinko's to celebrate Silas (1), Emma(11) and Michael's (30something??) birthday! (all birthdays within a few weeks of each other)... so again, really hope we are better!!!

Noah cuddling with mummy...
apologies for all the "stuff" on our couch!

Noah sleeping on daddy...
at least I moved all the "stuff" so the picture looked better! haha

Oh and I had Noah weighed today - just to check he's still gaining weight since I'm back at work and he hasn't been eating that much food while I'm gone - and he weighs 19lb 8oz ---- so he's still gaining! yay!

Well, time to go make Dave's lunch... can't wait until June!!!!!!!!! :o) Hugs and kisses from the three of us! XxXoOo

Blah...

That's how I've been feeling lately... so tired and no matter how much I sleep, still tired!! I think my body is doing everything it can, not get sick!! Noah's nose started running today :( I wish this weather would just stay warm! It was gorgeous outside last week... 4 days in a row!! and then the weekend came around... and coldish again :(

Despite my tiredness, I went to play laser tag yesterday and it was SOOOOO much FUN!!! My friend Christina - who works at Springwood is going back to the states. She is American and from NJ! so we had a leaving do for her :) Now I have to decide what I want to do for my leaving do!! They have persuaded me to try to finish up the half term... finishing on May 27th instead of the 13th as I had originally planned. I have no idea what to expect when we finally find out what day we are leaving so hopefully I'll be able to work up until then...

Well, I guess that's about it for now... better go wake up Dave as he's working 11pm - 7am now!! Plus side  - we get to share our one working (new) car!!! I'll add a piccy later :)

Noah's 6 month appt at 7 months...

So we had Noah's 6 month appointment on February 9th - Noah and I were in PA when he turned 6 months on January 3rd! and Dave was in Airman Leadership School when we got back to England on Jan 19th... so Dave scheduled it for Feb 9th when he was done with his school so he could go! such a good daddy :)

The stats...

18 lbs 13 oz... (65th percentile) although I did have him weighed on Jan 3rd (6 months) at my mom's work and he was 18lb 9 oz (72nd percentile)... I'm putting it to the fact that he did get sick when we got back to England and wasn't eating much for a few days...

27.75 inches long (75th percentile)

17.75 inches - head circumference (80th percentile)

The doctor said Noah is very confident - Noah was making eye contact with him and didn't shy away even though he never met him before. He said Noah is a strong, healthy boy and doing fabulous!! (but we already knew that!!) :)
