All Star!

Just wanted to post a few more pics (of course) that we took the other night. Justin is in his car seat and he is not screaming!! I think he probably started soon after this was taken :) He is doing very well and we had a great weekend. Friday night I went out for dinner and drinks with all the girls from work and then last night we went over to our friends Jared and Catrina's house. The boys played PlayStation and we watched Momma Mia. Great Movie-I was so impressed because I did not think I would like it. Now it's back to another work week for Aaron and Justin and I are hoping for some nice warm days where we can get him out in the sun! We'll see..it's like Montana, you never know what you're going to get around here. It was snowing yesterday and it was so warm today. See you soon...

Justin and Audrey sitting in a tree...

Here is a few pictures of Justin and his girlfriend Audrey having some cuddle time. She is so beautiful, isn't she? We approve!!

He looks unhappy with momma. It's been a rough day for the little man. Fussy...gassy...you think you have issues!

Shih-Tzu has a breakdown...and I may be next!

Are you wondering what the heck that means? I thought so...

Wrigley loves Justin, but get's very anxious and nervous when he cries. The louder Justin cries, the louder Wrigley barks, howls, and whines. Justin will start fussing because he just woke up-and Wrigley races to find me wherever I am in the house (as if I don't hear him) in attempt to herd me into the bedroom. It's pretty cute, but really annoying. He kisses Justin and lays next to him when he is napping, but there are times when he gets fed up with the little creature who makes this awful screeching noise and flails his hands about. I can tell when Wrigley gets annoyed because he will stare at the baby and give a little growl as if to say, 'mom..I can't take it anymore..make him stop!' No, I am not worried about Wrigley hurting the baby. He does really well with him. I mean, we're all still adjusting. Let's be honest, I get annoyed too, and I know why he is crying most of the time. Wrigley just thinks we have this 'thing' staying with us that takes away any potential for him to get extra attention..and makes a lot of noise for no reason.

Wrigley threw up on Sunday and was clearly not feeling his usual self. It happens, and I figured it was something we gave him or something he ate outside. He was acting so weird, not eating or drinking and pacing around the house with his tail between his legs. He didn't seem to be feeling any better as time went on either. He did this for about a day before he started this odd snorting thing that he did ALL EVENING AND ALL NIGHT LONG. No kidding, I was up with the baby and Aaron was up tending to Wrigley. We were really worried about him and thought he must be horribly sick. He could not have looked more pathetic. I mean it kind of sounded like he was nearing death. We didn't' sleep at all...

Aaron took Wrigley to the vet first thing in the morning and called me to tell me to check in on him in a few hours. Later that day I called and the receptionist said that the vet had not been able to see him yet, but that I should come in at two to discuss our 'options'. What options I thought? I asked if he was ok, and she said that he was doing fine. I don't like the word fine, it sounds bad. Fine is like a nice way of saying 'not so good'. I know, I am a woman. I got Justin ready to go a few hours later. Of course, he started having a fit and falling in it about 10 minutes before we had to leave. The vet's office was completely chaotic. There were 2 huge dogs in the waiting room going nuts and barking like crazy. On top of that, their owners were yelling at them to stop barking-which was equally annoying and completely useless. This added noise only seemed to make Justin more upset. After about 20 minutes we were able to see the vet. He told me that Wrigley seemed great, that he hadn't made a sound all day, that he had tried everything he could think of to make him cough or snort..or make some kind of noise that would warrant him to worry. He could find nothing of concern and had done a full check-up on him.

I know it sounds silly and we joke about it-but I thought to myself...oh my gosh, this was a ploy to get out of the house! He spent the day relaxing at the vet's office while I sat home listening to Justin cry all by myself! We agree that we think he finally lost it, that he had a puppy mental breakdown and could not deal anymore. A day at the vet's office is all it took to get the little guy back to normal!! We're glad to have him back.

All is normal again in the Moon household. Aaron is on full daddy duty tonight. I am going out to dinner and drinks with the girls from work. I am looking forward to it and it is a long awaited girls night out!!

Angel Boy!

He is so precious. I love this picture. I will try to remember how precious he is when he is 17 and telling me how I have ruined his life and he hates me...

Let's hope it never comes to that because he will always be a good boy!

A little of this and that...

Feeling 'Blah'

Good afternoon everyone! We were up until about 3 last night with Justin sleeping 10 minutes here 15 minutes there. He was fussy and squirmy and I couldn't figure out what was going on. Usually some gas drops, diaper changing, and feeding will do the trick. However, we tried it all and...nothin'. He spit up all over himself (and me) and then he peed on himself when I changed his diaper! It was a rough go and we were both cranky. Finally, at about 3, we got to sleep and didn't wake up until 6:30 when Aaron took him for a while before he went to work. Luckily we were able to nap on and off a little this morning. I am so tired and I think I am getting sick. When I woke up at 6:30 my throat felt like it was swollen shut. It feels better, but is still swollen. I have a headache and I am roasting-although I don't think it is all that warm in here. I hope it is just a touch of something and that I can sleep it off-maybe when Aaron gets home or with Justin if he stays asleep for a while. I never lie down with him right away because I just end up getting comfortable and he wakes up. I usually wait until I can be sure he is in a sound sleep-then I figure it is safe to get cozy for a nap. I have been downing Vitamin C and juice today and I really don't want Justin to get sick. I think he does have a little something going on. His nose has been really plugged and he sounds 'flemmy' when he breathes. Aaron gave him a warm bath and sat in the bathroom with him yesterday (nose sucker in hand and shower on hot) to steam him clear. It worked and I think we will need to do it again. Aaron is good at that stuff. He takes charge. I usually panic and don't know what to do. It's like, 'don't worry Justin, we'll get daddy'...

Have a good day everyone. I am going to try to lie down with him because it looks like he is in a deep sleep. Yay!

Plans For April!

We will be in Helena April 5th-8th and in Conrad April 8-11. We hope to see whoever we can at that time! I know that my mom is planning to get invites out for a 'open house' sort of deal in Helena (on Sunday the 5th) with food and whatnot so everyone can come meet Justin.

Baby Justin looks forward to meeting you! Oh..sorry..big boy Justin. He is a month old now..

One Month Old!!!

Justin is one month old today! What a big boy! I think we are on to better sleeping...less fussing...and more pics with our eyes open!
