mini me's

What do you think, each of us have a bit of a mini me?

8 month update

8 months and 17 pounds worth of cuteness right here. I pretty much adore this baby boy of ours. He is such a blessing to our family and we can't imagine life with out him.

 He still isn't much of a fan of eating solids, more times than not he just spits and blows it all over the place. And when I say all over the place I really me all over me.
Wakes up 1-2 times during the night but hallelujah he is sleeping in his crib now and it is awesome!
He will certainly let us know when he is upset by grunting/yelling out. We try not to laugh but he looks like a little ape and will throw both of his hands to the floor.
He lights up when he sees Mary and loves to play by her.
Hating once again to get undressed/dressed for the day
Everyone that sees him comments how beautiful his eyes are.
Cuddles with his little fox buddy in his crib. Pretty much adorable.
Is a mama's boy.

He has tried pickles and pickled beets recently. Loves to suck on apples, likes pureed carrots, not a fan of green beans or peas at all. Other fruits like peaches, pears, and applesauce he'll some times eat and other times I get a fruit bath on my face and clothes.

 He is quick!! He crawls so fast and always trying to get to the fireplace to pull himself up which is a major no-no. It's marble so I can see him getting some major injuries there. He's pretty good about listening to us when we say no to him and to crawl back over to us.

 His hair is getting so long I think his fohawk days are just about over. Mj didn't have this long of hair until she was over a year old!

St.George trip

Ryan had a last minute trip to St. George for work so the kids and I got to tag along! It was only for a couple of days but it was so nice to get away with him and away from the awful air and weather we've been having here! It was gorgeous and I missed seeing palm trees and beautiful red rocks. I think my parents moved to Salt Lake a bit too soon because I'm so not a winter, cold weather girl. We met up with my high school friend Coral and her 3 kiddos. While hanging out with them I ran into a friend from Salt Lake with her two girls so Mary had a blast playing with more kids. I showed Ryan, and the kids where my brother is buried, I haven't been to his grave for years so it was nice to stop by and make a visit there. MJ just had to play in the red dirt so after lunch they did just that and were in heaven getting dirty haha.

February 11 7 month update

7 months old and past the army crawling now doing this crawl hopping thing haha. He's all over the place! Happiest baby, still not sleeping through the night or in his crib... Finally starting to eat a little bit of solids. Follows MJ everywhere she goes and wants to play with her toys with her. Needless to say we adore this boy.

wears size 3 diaper

6-9 mo clothing

has tried green beans, apple sauce, pears, peaches, potatoes and loves to suck on cucumbers

I've given up on trying to make him a binky baby haha. Just wish I had something to soothe him besides myself! 

Everyone comments how mesmerizing his eyes are and what a beautiful baby he is. He's beginning to show some attitude more and more by growling and grunting when he's upset. I'm awful at laughing at it and now that he's getting bigger I have to turn the other way so he doesn't think it's ok to do it. Ryan gets after me all the time for doing it.

little lady and busy body

The first of February: Mj's first real hair cut, she's had a couple of little trims but I finally decided her baby fine hair needed a major cut. It's so fine, the sides are short and the bottom was kinda stringy I could never let her wear it down. So chop chop! She loves her new short hair and now it can grow out evenly and hopefully her tiny baby hairs will grow a long with it! 

 This little guys is army crawling all over the place! love it!
