{Sweet Dreams}

This was your very first nap at Nana and Gramps house. Nana was so happy to have you over for a couple of hours while we helped her decorate Uncle Brian's room.


This was your very first nap at Nana and Gramps house. Nana was so happy to have you over for a couple of hours while we helped her decorate Uncle Brian's room.

On Sunday we took a nap together. This is one of my favorite parts of the day; holding you in my arms while we take a nap. I love holding you in my arms and enjoying every minute of it. I know that one day you won't be little any more and it is going to be harder to catch you and get cuddle time. I am also sad because when you sleep you grow and I don't want you to get any bigger.
No matter what, you will always be my little man.

{4 months}



*A couple of days ago you started to grab and hold onto toys.
*You love to grab your burp cloth and suck like crazy on it.
*You are wearing size 2 diapers.
*You are mostly into 3 month clothes and some 3-6 months.
*You are such a wonderful sleeper, sleeping straight 9-10 hours.
*You know who your mommy is. I will leave the room while someone else (like Nana or Dad) is holding you and you will start crying until I come back, then you will get a huge smile on your face. You sure are a Mamas boy!
*You are trying to laugh but out comes little noises.
*You have the cutest and biggest smile.
*You have chunky kissable cheeks.
*You have been sleeping in your own room since the beginning of February. Your mommy was sad and your Daddy was happy. However, you have been sleeping so well in there.

Each day as I hold you in my arms, I thank Heavenly Father for sending me such a perfect little boy. I love you and no words can explain what I feel for you. Your father is very proud to be your dad. When he comes home he kisses your head and says 'hi' before he kisses me.

{Right Now}


I am holding you while you sleep. I love looking at you and thinking about what you will look like in the next couple of years, what your personality will be like. I love looking at your sweet little nose, lips ,and hands, and how much I love you and I can't live with out you. SWEET DREAMS MY LITTLE ONE.

{Takes after me}



We finally got a nice day where it got to 50 degrees so I bundle you with 2 blankets and a toque (Bennie). We were only half way down the street and all you were doing was crying. I finally took off your toque and you stopped. He is defiantly my boy, I don't like hats because they put presser on my temples and in most cases I end up with a headache.

Valentine's Day

On Saturday Dave and I went to celebrate Valentines at Red Lobster. I love the time I get to spend alone with my husband. We were laughing because we couldn't figure out what to do besides go and pick Ryker up at my parents house. Over all it was a wonderful V-day. I always love the time with my husband to remember why we fell in love with each over 5 years ago.


What we LOVE:
T.V. SHOWS: I shouldn't be alive, Amazing Race, America's Got Talent, Biggest Loser, etc
FAVORITE DINNERS: Imperial Chicken with Cumberland sauce, Grilled Shrimp Caprse, and Steak Gorgonzola (All homemade of course)
FAVORITE RESTAURANT: Olive Garden
FAVORITE DESSERT: We make and like too many to list

Spending time with our little guy and making him laugh.
We love going on walks with Ryker when it's warm outside.
We love going shopping together.

This holiday makes me reflect on the reasons why I love my family. I already know that I love them through out each and every day but, it rejuvenates my love even stronger for them.

The new us

eeekk... I went with brown and reddish highlights. What was I thinking, I am still trying to get use to it. I don't think I will do it again, I need my blond, because that's what makes me, me. It was fun to try something new.



Dave also got a haircut and I should never let him go alone because he comes out looking like a "cancer patient". He needs a little more hair on top of his head, THANK HEAVENS his hair grows fast. He knows how much I hate it, so he does it to bug me. I love this boy.:)

{New toys}

You love your BUMBO and you will just sit in it and smile and coo at mom and dad in the kitchen. You have been sporting your purple bumbo since you were 12 weeks old. (it's purple because we got it for such a good deal, they are over priced for a new one)




You also like the BOUNCE and PLAY. You aren't big enough to touch the bottom or bounce, you'll sway back and forth and stare at the colorful toys. You are still trying to figure this toy out.



Even though we bought you this high chair, you are more interested in your bumbo, but the high chair will work great when we begin feeding you your rice cereal. You can barely see over the tray, but you never complain while you are in there.
