I took Kael a couple weeks ago to get his four month old pics done. I was going to do newborn pics but I was a little paranoid about germs. I use to work at kiddie kandids and lets just say the one I worked at didn't keep things very clean and you don't get that many poses to choose from. Anyways a couple of people told me to go to JC Penny. LOVED IT!! It was so much more personal and I had so many pictures to choose from it was so hard to make a decision. Kael was so good too! I will definitely be going there from now on. Here are just a few from the session. What a STUD!!

Boys Gone Wild

So this is Kael EVERYTIME he eats cereal. It's seriously so gross. He gets it everywhere! I laugh everytime cause he some how gets it in his eyes, ears, nose and even on his back. He's a mini Houdini. :)

Chase is the teacher's leader in our ward and so he got to do Mountain Man this year. He grew out what he considers facial hair. Ha ha. Poor Chase has a patchy beard. Anyways it was pretty narly but I took before pictures on my 35 mm film camera instead of my digital so those will come later. these are after a haircut and just having fun. No worries. No more mountain man at our house anymore. yay! So thats us for now. No pictures of me until I lose weight. I hate diets, but I'll do just about anything to get rid of this baby blubber. Any advice would be awesome.

Four Months!!

I can't believe my baby boy is four months already. He was four months last friday so I know it's a little late by hey life has been a little busy. We went to the Pediatrician on Monday and got his shots. He is such a tough little guy. He only cries for a second and then he's fine. He doesn't get sore or bruises, he doesn't even get a fever. He does get a little cranky but thats it. He is in the fifty percentile with everything now, 14 lbs 13oz and 25 inches long. I was really hoping he would take after his uncles and stay tall, oh well, maybe we he gets older. I was really excited that the Ped said he's real smart. I'm sure every doctor tells the moms this but it made me really happy because I always feel like I'm not doing a good job. I'm always worried he isn't getting the stimulation he needs to succeed and grow. Kael really his so alert, he has been since he was born. I love watching him look at everything and watching him learn. He has recently discovered that he can suck on his toes. He makes me laugh. As soon as he is laying down on his back, up come the feet and straight into his mouth. This would really gross me out if he was actually walking. :) 

He has also started cereal. He isn't quite sure about it yet. When I first put it in his mouth he got this grossed out look on his face like 'did I just throw up?' It's hilarious to watch him cause he seriously gets it everywhere, ears, nose, eyes, neck, legs, you name it and it has found it's way there. Ha Ha Ha, so fun. 

Kael is such a good baby. He does drive me up the wall sometimes but for the most part he is really good. He is almost sleeping thru the night all the time. He still has some nights where he wakes up a lot. But it is happening less and less, which I'm lovin. He loves to sit up so he can see what's going on and he loves, loves, loves to just watch everyone. He is so smiley and it is really easy to get him to laugh. He loves to cuddle which I just love and so does everyone else who holds him. :) Well thats the update for now, plenty more to come later. 

I wonder.....?

My kid makes the funniest facial expressions!

It seriously makes me laugh and I'm so glad that I have caught some of them on camera. It seriously makes me think, 

"I wonder what he's thinking?"

'why did you take me out of there?!'

'get out of my face!'

'no! seriously get out of my face!'

'what a day.'

trying to boss maggie around?

trying to look at his nose?

one of his pooping faces

'aw, come on mom, not again.'

who dun it?

'Enough!'

'cool finger!'

If only we could read baby's minds, oh the things they would say. ha ha ha. I hope you all enjoyed the many faces of Kael. This kid can really make me laugh. He is starting to get such a funny personality. I love watching him discover and learn. He is getting to dang chunky, I love it!

I feel old...

yesterday was my birthday and i feel really old and boring. i did enjoy going to lunch with all the girlies it was really good and so nice to see everybody. And Chase invited some of our friends over to just chill last night. It was so awesome to be able to visit with everyone. We have been slackers and haven't seen much of our friends so that was a real treat for me. Thanks to all who came. 

Proof that Kael is a spaz just like his dad.

This is a new thing that he started doing when he takes a bath. It makes me laugh everytime. I've been trying to get Kael on somewhat of a schedule, and I have no idea what I'm doing. I would love to get his nap times an actual time so I can actually get things done. He has such a random sleeping schedule and I never know how long I have to do something, and then I end up stopping in the middle of it and have a bigger mess than what I started with. Any advice?
