Happy Birthday Baby

I hope that one day you will look back and forgive me for waiting so long to write about your birthday.  Life has just been so crazy with building this house.  You turned one on the 26th of April.  I cant believe it has been one year.  you have been the best baby, but now that we are getting into the toddler stage you are a different child.  You are such a busy body, into everything, and can't sit still.  You love to be into everything. You still wont walk, in fact you are not interested at ALL.  You get really upset if we try to make you walk.  You pull your legs up and start to cry.

You finally got another tooth.  It came on the bottom right.  The last tooth you got was in December of last year.  You got your tooth on the 30th of April.

You went to the doctor on April 30th and weighed 21 lbs 10 oz 55%, and 30 1/4 in tall 66%.  You cried when the doctor checked you.  You have been really clingy and a momma boy lately.  You kept reaching for me.  Then you got shots and cried, but it didn't last long. 

Your birthday was on a Friday this year.  We didn't really do anything on your birthday but that Sunday we had a family BBQ.  We wanted to wait until Natasha could be around.  It was a pretty nice day, and man did you love your cake and all the attention.  You got a bear that had a knitted sweater from G&G great.  You got a wooden block set that has different shapes to fit in the holes from Dallin and Clarissa.  And mommy and daddy gave you some soft building blocks.

You are starting to say things like bobba D, and grandpa, it sounds like bampa.  You are so sweet and we love you tons.

10 months almost 11

You are such a good baby.  I know that I say that a lot but you really are.  You never cry in your carseat.  You don't cry hardley at all.  You smile all the time.  I am constantly getting compliments on how cute and smiley you are.

You still have 6 teeth, but you have the cutest dimple on the one side.

 You are starting to fill out.  I am not sure what you weight but you have the cutest little pot belly and rolls on your legs. 

You chew on everything and put everything in your mouth.  You love to pick at things.  You pulled the paint of my cub-bard the other day.  We got you a new crib and with in a week it looks like a beaver got to it.  I was so mad.

You wake up every morning at 6:00 you are my early riser.

You crawl on your hands and knees now, not just a worm crawl.  You also will sit on your bum after crawling. 

You pull yourself up to everything and walk along the couch.

You are talking more now.  You say "uh oh" when you drop things, you wave bye bye when I pick you up, and you say "waaa waa" over and over like you have something important to say.

Did I mention you are into everything.  You can have a room torn apart in two minutes. 

You are very smart and catch on very quick, quicker than I think the other kids did.

You just love your brother and sister and get a kick out of them all day.

9 Months

My sweet boy!  I hope you don't hate me when you are older for not writing in here as much.  You are such an amazingly sweet little boy.  You love to snuggle and fall asleep in our arms.  You are so well behaved and can adapt anywhere. You have been so sick the last month.  We took you to community care about 3 weeks ago and you had a double ear infection.  Then you had to go back to the doctor last Friday because you were weezing and I was really worried.  There are a lot of people that are sick right now and I didn't want you to have RSV.  Your test came out negative which was good, but you sound horrible.  I hope you get better soon.

Your nine month Doctors appointment was on Monday the 28th of January.  You were 28 in tall 34%, 18 lbs 5.5 oz 27% and your head was 44.  you got mad when the doctor tried to look into your ears.


-you say momma when you are whinning, and dadda all the other time.  You also just started to talk giberish.
-Favorite food:  sweet potatoes, and any fruit.  You also love love love those little gerber puffs
- You love your bouncer, you could play in that all day.
-You love to scrunch your nose and show your cute teeth
- You do this cute army crawl.  It's not quite a crawl you use your arms in unison, and push with your toes.  You just started in the last couple days to get up on your arms and toes with no knees and just stay there.  It looks so hard but your a tough.  You also get up on your hands and knees but then drop to your belly to crawl.
- You put everything into your mouth.  We have found magnets, barbie shoes, paper, cat food!!  You are so quick and it's hard with your siblings and the ground playing with there toys.  you just want to play with them!
 -You have six teeth, four on the top and 2 on the bottom.  You got the two top ones right next to the fronts, at around Christmas time.  They came  in with in a week of each other. 

6 months already

I can't believe how much time has flown by.  You are now 7 months old and growing so fast.  You are about ready to start crawling, and your third tooth is coming through on the top left.  You hardly ever complain except today because your teeth hurt.  Lately when people talk to you, you get shy and hide in my shoulder.  I just love that you love me so much.  When I come into a room you just light up and smile.  You also do this suck in noise that is so cute.  We had you next to Tanner Moss the other day at church and I couldn't believe how tan you are.  I am excited to see you this summer to see how dark you get.  You don't even look like Taylee and Colton.  You get so many compliments on how cute you are, everyone just loves you.  People also compliment on how good you are, and mild mannered.

You started to talk awhile ago.  About one week before you turned 7 months old you said your first word and it was MOMMY!!  I was so excited you are the first kid to say mommy as your first word.  Of course when you said it and say it now it's when you are winning but you are talking about me, you know who I am.  The second word come about a week later and you say that all the time it's Dadda, you also say Bubba! 

You are still consitpated but if we give you some prune juice you level out a bit.  I think you body is just still trying to adjust you solids.  We are trying to give you a bottle but you don't like them very much.  I am trying to give you a bottle more so I can leave you longer.

I am just so much enjoying you and the baby stage, I keep telling you every day to quite growing up.  All you do is smile back!

Carter

My sweet baby Carter, so much has happened since the last time I wrote in here.  You had your 6 month check up on the 30th of October.  You were 16 1/2 lbs 26%, 26 3/4 long 43%, and head at 42 13%.  You did so good when you got your shots.  You got your 1st tooth on the 29th of October and the second one about two days later.  They are both on the bottom, and man was it a tough couple days for you.  You started to sit up by yourself at about two weeks before your first tooth.   On the 28th of September you took your first bite of solid food.  You actually loved it, which surprised me because the other kids hated it.  It was rice cereal.  Every since then we have had trouble with you being constipated.  I am trying to get you regulated right now but it's not working very well.  You are not doing very good when it comes to sleeping.  You wake up at 4:30 every morning.  you did so good for a long time and now have regressed a little bit.  Hopefully you can start sleeping better so I can sleep better.

You talk so much.  You scream in church all the time and laugh out loud a lot too.  You hardly cry and still is the best baby ever.  I am so lucky to have you.

Quit growing up

You are growing up too fast.  You rolled over for the first time on the 17th of September.  I sat you on your belly and rolled over right away, I didn't even have time to grab the camera.  You roll over once a day since then but I haven't been able to get on camera yet. 

You love to bounce, we got out the jumperoo and you loved it, started jumping right away.  The other kids it took along time to figure it out, but you got it right away. 

You have been drooling a lot lately and chewing on your hand.  I think that you are getting teeth, but I can't see anything.  You are also very handsy.  None of your siblings have been so good with their hands at this age.  You reach for things very well and love to play with toys.  When we give you kisses you reach for our face and grab hold with both hands and pull us in, it's my favorite.  You grab with your palm up, its cute.
 You love to give kisses!!!!  Dad taught you to stick your tongue out and blow.

You are the most patient child I have ever seen.  You are so good and when I put you down for sleep you never fuss.  You started sleeping through the night about three days after your 4 month checkup.  Sometimes I lay you in your crib for a second just so I can go check on the other kids and when I come back you are asleep and it's not even nap time.  When I come to pick you up after you wake up, you just smile and if I walk away you don't cry.  You are so mellow.

4 months already

You have to be the best baby I have ever had.  You are so mellow and good, and I love that you smile ALL the time.  You are starting to get into the kicking and moving stage so sleeping with me was getting harder.  You dad and I decided at four months would be the time that you should be sleeping in your crib.  With the other kids it was really hard for me, this time not so hard.  It wasn't because you are bad or anything I was just excited to get the bassinet out of my way.  You did pretty good, you woke up once at 2:00 and then at 6:00.  I hope in a week from now you can be sleeping through the night, that would be awesome. When you do wake up you usually don't start crying and sometimes you wake up and then fall back alseep without crying.

I took you to your 4 month check up two days ago.  You had to have your wee wee fixed again.  I think we got it this time.  I hope so, it sucks to see you in pain.  You weighed 15 lbs 40%, 25 3/4 long 74%, and your head was in the 17% at 40.5, you diffidently didn't get the Munns head. 

You are not rolling over yet, I think soon.  I don't want you to grow up.  You still have dark skin and brown eyes.  Grandma Eyre thinks you look just like me as a baby, I think so too.
