K.A.L.E.B

So I finally have made Kaleb's name for his room. My friend Jessica learned how to do this so she was kind enough to share the idea with me and help me do the letters. It was pretty easy and fun. I am not all that crafty but this was fun. When Jessica first showed me the idea I thought I would do one for Alethia but I decided I should do Kaleb's first as my rough draft so when I do Alethia's I will know more of what I am doing.

So I just got the letters at Michael's and then got scrapbook paper and ribbon's and buttons to embelish them. Used mod Podge to put the paper on and hot glued the other stuff. Jessica is the wonderful artist who painted the baseball on the "A" for me.

Just some close ups of the letter's

I did baseball paper (Tim's favorite sport) even though his room is all sports.

Just a close up of some of the cute buttons I used.

Chunky Monkey!

Since we have called Kaleb Chunky Monkey since he was only a few weeks old, we decided to have Kaleb be a monkey for his 1st Halloween. I found this super cute monkey costume online at Spirit Halloween and when I found it I knew it was the perfect one for him. Maybe I am a little biased, but he sure is the cutest little monkey ever!

On Halloween I took Kaleb up to Layton Hills Mall because Tim had to work, so I wanted him to be able to experience a little bit of Kaleb's 1st Halloween. So Tim was able to take Kaleb around to all the competitors kiosks to Trick or Treat. After finishing up there we went to Grandma Julie's Annual Chili Cook Off at her ward. ( Which she won once again. They just might ask her not to make any next year so someone else has some chance of winning.) Then they have a Trunk or Treat after everyone eats. Poor Kaleb was about asleep on Uncle Ed, but he held out until we were done. We then went to the Hanson house for homemade donuts and Hot cocoa which they do every year. Kaleb slept in his car seat, so maybe next year he will get to enjoy Halloween a little more. He was really good though about wearing the costume even though he was tired and sick with a cold. He is such a little trooper. He did get to enjoy a sucker on the way home which he enjoyed until he lost it!

No we have not traded Kaleb in for a girl! The morning of Halloween before Tim Left for work he debated wearing my blonde wig when he decided he it would not really work. I decided to try it on Kaleb just to see how he would look. Well, Kaleb looked so cute I had to capture the moment. I showed the picture to some of my family and they didn't even realize it was Kaleb. They told me that is what our girls will look like only with darker hair. I sure love my little Boy though and am glad he is 100% BOY! These pictures will just be black mail for when he is older!

First SNOW Fall.....

Oh Yes SNOW!! Can you believe just barely into October and we are having to deal with snow whatever happened to FALL! Anyways it was Kaleb's first snow. We didn't go out and play in it but when we were walking into church he just kept looking all around trying to figure out what it was. He is so funny! Well the next snow we will try and let him play in it. We did bundle him up and go to our friends to make and eat some dessert.

Kaleb is so curious about everything and everyone right now. It makes it so hard to nurse him if there are people or anything for that matter to catch his attention. He eventually gets hungry enough to eat or I find a quiet place to nurse him. I love him tons though. He definitely makes life a lot more interesting!

This is what was left last night!

All bundled up ready to go down to the Brandts to make DESSERT!

Cousin Milo's Hat from when he was a toddler and mittens from Target's Dollar Bins!

SOO Tired!!!!

SO TIRED he rolled down the hall to his finally resting place!

So now that Kaleb is on his schedule I tend to feed him lunch @ noon and then he lays down for his nap @ one well in between lunch and nap I get ready for the day so Kaleb usually plays in the hall and watches mom do her thing. He usually loves it but we have our days when he fussy so sometimes I just finish after he is laid down or give him his blankie and every once in a while he will pass out it is the cutest thing to look over and see that he has gone to sleep so the other day I took a couple pictures so everyone can enjoy the cutest little Boy that we love so much!

6 months ALREADY!!!!!

So Kaleb has been in our lives for 6 Months TODAY!! Crazy hoow fast it has gone and how fast he has grown up I thought it would be fun to post some of the pictures when he was new and some pictures of him today. It is so weird to look at him and see how much he has changed I can harldly remember him being so little. Speaking of growing up Kaleb is SLEEPING through the NIGHT yea!! I thought it would never happen he has been doing this for a little over a month. I love having My sleep back. He is also beginning to drink out of sippy cup he is getting pretty good about holding it too. Kaleb is also getting so close to crawling now when you hold him he just kicks those chubby little legs and squirms all around he is not very content to just sit on your lap. So I am trying to enjoy my last few moments of him not being able to be mobile, because I am sure the minute he figures out the crawling thing I am going to be going all over the place chasing him. I guess those are the joys of being MOMMY! He is the sweetest baby right now his thing is to grab your face with both his hands and kiss you and pull your hair. We love him and are so glad he is in our life it makes life so much more unexpectable and JOYOUS! WE never go a day with out Kaleb making us laugh!

Standing while holding on for dear life!
