baby teeth makes mommy go crazy!

Connor is teething. This isn't a surprise as he is the right age. It's not his first teeth, he already has three. But for about a week, he's been getting three in at once. The first one has finally broken through, but the other two have not yet and like the title says, mommy is going a little crazy.

I feel sorry for the kid, I'm sure he's in pain, but that doesn't make it any less torturous for all. A cranky-unconsolable-doesn't know what he wants except to just nurse for like 1 hour!-and also bite me while nursing, baby is the pits. I shouldn't complain too much, he's really not like this all day. Just when he doesn't get exactly what he wants, and since he can't tell me what he wants, this happens frequently. Thankfully he's napping right now.

This weekend a girlfriend is coming to visit, and her and are are going to go crafting crazy. Well, sort of. We are going to try and make pies in jars, and make home made baby bibs. She has a 9 week old, and I've got an almost 9 month old, so we'll see how much we actually get done, but it will be fun to have her around anyways. I also made these cute Easter gifts, I will post pictures soon, but I want to wait until my mom gets hers in the mail first. I must say, they are cute though.

I picked up my inlaws from the airport today, they just got home from a Mexican Cruise. It snowed two feet here while they were gone. I'm so mad.

Brrrrrrrrr

Ok, so I had to change my blog background to this because THIS is what it looks like outside! It's disgusting. Of course, when I changed it, it erased a bunch of stuff, so now I'm back to square one of "personalizing" my blog.
I need some help with something though, perhaps someone could explain it to me. I thought that you could use a search engine type thing to look on other peoples blogs for certain topics they may have talked about?? I can't seem to find how to do this. I am a little challenged though.
Lately I've been thinking about some of the inventions I own that I don't know how I lived without. Here is my list starting in last place:
5. Connnor's sleep sac. We use it at least 3 times a day and it's wonderful. No more worrying that your child is cold in the night.

4. My hair straightener. Spencer bought it for me for my birthday when we were first married. Seriously, I could have used it long before then! Maybe then I would have had alot less self loathing when it came to my hair.

3. My Braun hand blender. Need something little blended without making a big mess?? This will do it for you. Want a personal smoothie you can make in the cup?? This will do it. So small and compact, it hardly takes up any space at all.

2. My Roomba. The robotic vaccum. Now I must say, I bought my refurbished and so I can't say that I would pay the full price for one (I think $300). I paid $130 and I love it. It get's used almost every day. I seriously want the Scooba (the floor washer). Now how to explain that to my husband....

And coming in at number 1, quite a ways in front of everyone else is...
The PVR.

TV is revolutionized. It is by far the best thing we have every purchased. I suppose I should say best/worst thing we ever purchased....since it's easy to watch more tv then ever, but it also teaches self control, so that's a bonus right? No more commercials, my husband can rewind that sports play over and over, and I can watch my shows whenever I want. Beauty.

Well, hopefully the weather warms up and melts all this snow...then I can change my blog background to something a little more springy.

How do you do this??

So...I'm blogging?? I'm not 100% sure how to do this so bear with me. I guess I should say that I have been very intrigued by blogging as I've been "blog stalking" some people. I don't know why, but I'm really interested in reading what other people are up to. Plus, I've learned some cool things, like recipes and crafts. I just hope I have time to share with all of you as you do me.
I guess I should let you all know a little bit about me and what I've been up to: My name is Jenine Williams, I'm married to Spencer and we have a little 8.5 month old boy named Connor. They are the joys of my life, and I love them both dearly. I will say one thing though, motherhood is much much much harder than I thought it would be! Cudos to all you moms out there just living and doing the mom thing. We live in Calgary and have been for almost 3 years. Spencer works for an Oil and Gas company downtown - thus we live in Calgary. Our long term plans are to move away, but for a while we'll be here. It's right in between our families, so that is the up side I suppose. We'd love to move somewhere a little smaller - but we can't agree on a direction to go! So I guess for now, Calgary will do.
Connor is the cutest little "toe head" I've seen. He's such a good and happy baby. He love to hear himself scream, and does this every moment he can. He is also climbing on everything, and opening every door and cupboard he can, which means mommy needs an extra set of eyes! He is really alot of fun, and I've enjoyed showing him the world.
Well, that's all folks, for tonight anyways, hopefully I can have something more interesting to write later on.....
