Kaleb is growing up so fast! We finally got a video of him walking with his Tonka truck. He has done this the past couple of times we have gone outside, but once I grab the camera to video he stops doing it! He is a little stubborn like his mom! He also has been... drum roll please....WALKING all by himself; yep without me even instigating it he still chooses to crawl, but he is definitely more comfortable with walking. So I think aunt Kim is right, he will be doing it by his first birthday! Yay! We are so excited for this new stage in his life. We are going to have a very exciting weekend since we're having his First Birthday Party. We are also going to the temple to do my brother Jon's temple work because yesterday was a year since he passed away. It was a good day. I was able to go to the cemetery with my mom. I miss him so much and wish that Kaleb and Alethia could know him, but I also know that he is with us and watches over us. I am truly grateful for the knowledge of the gospel and for the peace it brings to me. I will try and take lots of pictures of our exciting weekend! Enjoy the video! Hopefully the next video will be of Kaleb walking all by himself!

Happy Spring...

It has been so nice lately at least until today! That Kaleb just wants to be outside. So we try and get out as much as possible but once we get out he doesn't want to go back inside, he is so much like his dad and uncles he just wants to live outside! Here are a few pictures of Kaleb enjoying the outdoors! We love you silly monkey!

He loves his Tonka Truck!

Girl Scout Cookies....

So this is what happens when you give Kaleb a thin mint cookie in the car to keep him happy for the last hour of driving home from our 3 1/2 hour drive from Cedar City! As you can tell he enjoyed the girl scout cookie very much!

Our Trip to Cedar City

We had the opportunity to go down to Cedar city for Alethia's blessing! It was so fun seeing her again and just being with the family! Kaleb loves Alethia he gave her lots of kisses and liked touching her head! Alethia is very cute and still very little it is so amazing how little and petite her features are compared to Kaleb's. While we were there we even got Kaleb to walk a little more than he had been doing, but he only did it to get a taste of Aunt Kim and Aunt Sarah's Ice Cream. I have a feeling that food is the only way he is going to walk for us. Kaleb Loves food! He is such a silly boy! It was so sad to leave but luckily we will be seeing the Kubie family in a couple of weeks for Kaleb's birthday party! Here are a few picture from our trip!

Cleaning those CHOMPERS!!!!

So we got Kaleb a tooth brush because he FINALLY broke two teeth in the last month. We have only been teething since he was 2 months. So anyways he is so funny in the morning I will get his toothbrush all ready and I will brush the two little bottom teeth and then let him do it. He does pretty good for an almost one year old! So here is our little guy doing it all by himself. If you look closely you can see his teeth! Way to go K-bob!

My attempt at being crafty!

When my sister Sarah had Alethia her best friend made her a hooter hider aka nursing sheild and a car seat cover. So when they came up here and I saw them I decided I would try and make one for a baby shower I was invited to. They were really easy to make although my mom did most the sewing because I do it so slow but they were still very simple to do it took us about two days to do them. So I am now going to do them for my bff's Raquelle and Jessica as soon as they find out what they are having. So here are my first attempts!

Car Seat Cover!

Added buttons for some extra detail!

my sisters had ribbon and a button

Just a close up of the material the strips are

on the backside of the car seat cover

The hooter hider!

The neck has ribbing in it to allow you to see the baby!

My loving husband was my model!


Side view!

The hooter hider is plenty big to cover all sides which is so nice when having to nurse in public!

Talking to Dadda!!!!

So Kaleb loves to talk to his dad on the phone it is so funny so we just had to get a video of him doing it. It is not the best but it is still pretty cute hope you all enjoy!

Happy Eleven Months Kaleb!!!

Can you believe it! We sure can't, it has flown by. He is growing up so fast! He is getting ready to walk and has even taken a few steps here and there, but he knows he can crawl so much faster. I think he is a little unsure about the whole walking thing anyways. He is also completely weened! Yeah, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be since he loved to nurse, but we did it and he loves his whole milk because he can have it when ever he wants. We got permission from his DR to turn him face forward in the car so we got him new car seat. We had been using Jessica's because he grew out of the one we bought for him at like 6months and he was growing out of Jessica's too, so perfect timing. He loves to look out the car window and be able to see mom and dad in the front. He is now saying dog and Hi, but not mom since he's refusing to say it. He also loves to give you something and then he will stick his hand out for it back and he'll do this until we occupy him with something else. He especially loves doing this with the little old man that sits behind us in sacrament meeting with the program. He is also so smart. he knows what all sorts of things are. Tim likes playing fetch with him since he can tell Kaleb to get his dog or ball and Kaleb will bring it to him. (I know he is not a dog but Kaleb loves doing this with his dad). He also has this super crawl and when he does this he puts his head down and he is gone it is so funny to watch. A couple weekends ago when the Kubie's brought the newest addition to their family he learned to imitate Milo. Milo was showing Craig how he break dances and the next thing we know Kaleb is trying to do what Milo was doing. Really he would just crawl in a circle and then sit down and wait for everyone to clap for him. He loves to be center of attention unlike his mom! He is going to love his first birthday party!

We sure love you Kaleb and feel so BLESSED to be your parents!!!

Talking on the phone!
