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!

Go Kaleb Go....

So Kaleb got this fire truck for Christmas from his aunt Kim and we took this video last month of him, I know we are behind but better late than never. He would do his little rocking thing when he heard the music from the truck. He was so funny he would start yelling at Tim so he would push the button for him. He is such a funny kid. I hope you enjoy the video!

Sooo Sleepy!!!!

So about a month ago Kaleb had a very rough day which also meant a very long day for me. He didn't take a very good nap and refused to take a second one. So I just tried to keep him entertained until it was finally dinner time. He was very upset to be in his high chair. He ate a little and then decided he was done so I gave him some Cheerios's to munch on while I made dinner for myself well one minute I was turned around cooking chicken and trying to comfort a whining child and the next thing I knew he was quiet I assumed he was eating the cheerios on his tray but to my astonishment I found him fast asleep in his high chair. Poor little guy! He didn't even wake up with the pictures I took. After I took the pictures I did try and lay him down in his crib but of course he woke up so instead he got a bath and then went to bed.

It looks like he was in the middle of grabbing more food when he CRASHED!!!

Thanks Jessica!! Well picture is of Kaleb just a few hours after he was born. Kim and Raquelle came up to the hospital to meet him and decided to play dress up with him. I have forgotten how little he was. Everything was so big on him. He is sure the cutest thing though.

I tag Sarah, Katelyn, Aubrey, Mandy, Rae, Kristen. Have Fun!!!

Chicken Bone... Yum Yum!!!

So while we were visiting Sarah and Craig, my grandma came up and brought dinner for us. SO she had bought a rotisseri chicken from Costco and asked if Kaleb had ever had a chicken bone. I of course said no since I usually buy boneless chicken. So grandma had Craig pull all the chicken off the drum stick and gave Kaleb the bone. He absolutely loved it. He would have chewed on that bone forever. He got a little upset when I had to take it away so he could take a bath. Such a funny kid.

Kaleb also got to enjoy some Chocolate banana cream pie. I am not sure how he got all over the side of his face and in his ear.

Growing......10 months and counting

So we had a fun January the last weekend we went down to Cedar City in hopes that Alethia would arrive. She didn't of course she is as stubborn as her mom. But it was still very fun to spend time with Sarah and Craig since we don't see them very often. It was so nice for Kaleb to get to know them. He loved playing with Craig and giving Sarah loves. We came home Sunday so Stephen could go to his SUper Bowl Party and Alethia came two days later. We were bummed we missed her arrival but so glad she is here. We can't wait to meet her.

Monday we had Kaleb's 9 month check-up we were only a month behind but oh well. He is doing great. He is 19lbs 3 oz and 30 Inches long the dr says he is only 15 inches shorter than the average Kindergartener.WOW huh. So he told us to turn him around and start whole milk with him Yea so I can start weening him as soon as he gets use to the new milk. I am so glad I have loved nursing but I am done I am so ready to have my body back. Kaleb also has taken a couple of steps on his own so he is going to change our life forever when he gets it down so hopefully it will take him a little while longer. It is just so crazy how fast he has grown up I no longer have a baby any more he is a little man. He is such a loving little boy he loves giving kisses and cuddling which I love. Here are some Kaleb's other loves:

• Cousin Milo
• Shaking his head NO
• Eating
• Saying Dadda
• Playing with his girlfriends Kailey and Akina
• Singing

New Years Eve!!!

I know it is way past New Years but I figure better late than never! Oh the good old Days! Single and loving it

The cubs game
Mormon night at the Bulls Game

We had an awesome holiday season Christmas night Rachel My Best Friend from Chicago flew in to come spend the week with us. With the crazy snow storm we had she didn't get to our house until 4 am when she was supposed to be here at midnight. Of course we ended up staying up until about 6am talking. It was so fun having her here we had so much fun and did lots of talking. but for New Years we went to Jessica's and Zack's. Rachel and I were very domestic she made her families tradtional 7 layer dip and I made homemade carmel popcorn to take to the party. We played games and devoured the 7 layer dip. We had tons of fun.

I loved having Rachel here it was so nice to catch up on her crazy exciting life. We were really bad and didn't take pictures while she was here but I put some of us from way back when.

Yummy 7 layer Dip

Carmel popcorn this is only one of the bowls!
