Feeling Hungry?

Well, here are some more pictures to munch on! We finally were able to get a new camera so i have been snappin em like crazy to make up for a couple of lost weeks.

Just woke up from a nap... there is nothing like that sweet tired look like when they first wake up. Don't ya just wanna kiss on him! Yes please.

Cousin Maddie and him are gonna be best pals one of these days. She always asks me if he can talk and play yet! She can't wait. She adores him and it melts my heart. Love me some maddie girl.

When Landon's parents and sister were here we made a routine stop at Ikea. They have a huge bin of 49 cent mini stuffed creatures in the kid section so we snatched some up for the little ones. This snake has not left his sight yet. Funny how they have favorites so young! This is often how we find him... thank heavens they are washable. cute.

I put things he likes on the top front of his jeep, right above the steering wheel, and you should see him jump for it. He can really get a movin quick when i do that! He really thinks that will help him get it, but really we just get a kick out of it because he is soooo determined!

We didn't want a full size highchair so we got this Inglesina hook on chair instead.... LOVE it. It is by far one of the best purchases we have made for the little monkey to date!

Well, that is all for now. Keep scolling down because i posted a lot today!

Visiting Home

We try to get to Twin Falls every so often for some one on one time with my parents and so they can get some lovin' on time with Daxton. There is a great place to ride 4 wheelers and dirt bikes and if you take the right trail you can get to the very edge of the Snake River Canyon. Twin Falls might not be the greatest, but you can't tell me this isn't totally beautiful!

Ummm, CUTE. Just hangin' in Grandma Marcia's pretty yard.

He loves his Grandma and Grandpa! They are so fun and spoil him rotten! Grandpa even babysat while my mom and I cruised the town for a while.

"I wuv my daddy!" ~Daxton

These are the ONLY boys releated by blood in my WHOLE family... which is not small! My dad, little brother Coleton, and Daxton. It may seem small, but this picture is a total treasure!

My Very Own Jeep Commercial

This kid LOVES his jeep.... can't get enough. We were outside enjoying a nice night and he was being irresistably cute. I think we should send them to Jeep, don't you?

Month 6

I have a 6 month old here people. I can't believe it. I don't have any pictures (lost my camera), but i do have this....

Happy 1/2 birthday baby!

OLD

Happy happy Birthday sister/twinner/bestie! Glad I have someone to wallow with in our old age.

This is our first birthday in 1983!

Mr. Busy

Lately, I have been feeling VERY busy. I love to roll, play, grab things, throw things, buck myself out of my bumbo chair, get stuck between the slats in my crib, and lots of other naughty things! I think my parents like it. I have been working SOOO hard to sit up by myself and am really close. Sometimes my mom lets me do a nose dive into the floor.

Sometimes when my mom and dad aren't looking I do funny things like crawl backwards. I can't go forward yet, but at least I am getting somewhere, right?

My mom like to dress me in silly things and then she laughs really hard and it makes me giggle! I felt really clausterphobic in this because I couldn't find my hands or feet.

My Nana, Papa, and Auntie Mimi came to visit me and it was so much fun! They love to spoil me and kiss on me. I really love them. We went shopping all day and I was such a good boy. I really like to grab things off their hangers and throw them on the floor. I especially loved this turquoise shirt and would't let it go from my steel grasp. I hope they come and visit me again soon.

I went swimming for the first time ever in my whole life! I was kinda fun but the water was a little bit cold. I sure looked cute though and can't wait to go again! Come and visit me soon because I am getting SO big.

Little Monster

Can you believe that in a couple of weeks he will be 1/2 a year old??? I can't. He is getting to be so much fun and we are starting to see his little personality more and more. He's sure a busy little fella, but sweet and smiley too. However, he does have some monsterous moments.... aka. naptime. Please feel free to give me advice on this subject! He is such a rolly polly. He is all over the place and has gone from immoble to mobile real fast and i don't think he knows what to do with his new found abilities! If he rolls over he cries, if his blanket gets twisted he cries, if he rolls back over he cries. His naps have been pooey and he has also been waking up at night all twisted in his blanket and in some weird position that makes me wonder how long he has been awake pulling these shinanigans. I just don't know what to do with him! He now is rolling onto his belly and falling asleep, but won't go back to sleep well if he wakes up. Do you see my issues!? He's a mess, but we love him. Should i put him to sleep on his tummy from the get go? Should i not give him a blanket in his crib at all? Should i just let him cry until naptime is over or it is morning? In fact he is crying right now. Swell. Yeah, we are in a pickle. Hopefully soon he will figure it out. HELP. (P.S. I do use the book babywise. It doesn't help me with this issue).

ANYWAY!!! For journaling purposes, here are some things that he has been up to this past little while. Like i said, he is a rolly polly. He is also already starting to pull his knees up to his chest while on his belly and kinda scoot. He doens't do it on purpose, but soon he will figure out it can get him somewhere. He is eating solids twice a day now and LOVES it. He hasn't disliked anything that i have given him and actually prefers veggies! Suprise, suprise! He is also learning to blow the food out of his mouth which is really lovely. Ummm, he is doing really well sitting up and will have it down in no time! I know, he is getting so big! He is super ticklish. He giggles so hard when you get him right in the thighs or right above the bunsies. He is such a happy little man and is loving "talking" lately. We have to take him out at church a lot, but not because he is crying or cranky, but because is is squaking and making loud raspberries on his hands!

See what i mean about messy? Our laundry has tripled since solids or we just let him hang out naked, which i think we both love.

Sitting! I'm such a proud mama!

My first Mother's Day... which was slept being sicky (previous post). Daxton gave me a blender so i could try making his food from scratch! It was actually really easy and it's nice to know my little one is eating something that i made and i know what i put it in. Plus, it saves money which is always nice.

We have also been slaving in our backyard this year! Well, Landon mostly. Shout out to him! He has been working so hard and doing such a great job. We also have great neighbors help out too, we seroiusly couldn't have moved into a better neighborhood... well except the neighbors (all of them) with dogs that bark all the bloody time. :) Anyway, we can't wait until it is done and we can enjoy time out there on the deck or at the fire pit. Wanna come and visit??? The Sherwood Inn is vacant for a lot of the summer!
