6 months, 1/2 a year, 181 days...

... any way I put it is still sad. Our baby is growing up so fast. I know I say this every month but 6 months is huge. Before we know he will be one! It seems like we were just anxiously waiting his arrival. Treyden has brought so much joy into our lives. He is such a happy baby and so much fun. It is so exciting to watch him discover new things. He is rolling over like crazy and is just about to sit up on his own. He still loves his baby cereal and loves baby food... everything except applesauce. He is growing like crazy, I can't believe how big he is... I love it. I love his big chubby cheeks, his rolls and his dimpled hands. He is so sweet. It has been so much fun to have him in our home... he is laughing and smiling like crazy... here is a video of him laughing at Dev.

AH! I love love love that boy's laugh. It is so cute. We actually have video... somewhere... of Deagan when he was about this age laughing at the exact same thing. It is so fun to see the similarities between the two of them. In some ways they are just alike, and in some ways they are SO different. We are so blessed to have two happy, healthy boys.

I found a new way to clean my floors... and it's earth friendly :)

Zoe loves to do stuff like this, I don't know why. She is such a funny dog... no wonder Deagan loves her so much. This is my brother in the video. He is with us for the week.

The quality isn't the best... I used my phone, and I couldn't get the sound to work... I don't know if it was just our computer or what... But I thought it was still pretty funny. Crazy dog.

All essentials to a fun family reunion! This last weekend we went camping for our family reunion. We got there Thursday night and left Sunday afternoon. It was so fun, but boy was I ready to take a shower.There is nothing better than a hot shower and sleeping in my own bed after 3 1/2 days of camping. I hardly took any pictures... I was lame and not in the mood. I am kicking myself now but here are the 2 I took.

Dane, such a good sport playing Play-Doh with the little ones...

Little Treyden. He was so good... he just chilled the whole time, never made a peep.

It was so good to see everyone, we don't get together that often so when we do it is always fun. We missed those who couldn't make it though... Deagan had a blast! Of course... outside ALL DAY, playing in the dirt, pushing his dump truck... he loved it.

Can't wait til next year!!

Messy Boy

Treyden decided to feed himself lunch today... apparently I was not doing it fast enough...

YUM!

He got more on himself then in his mouth of course so he had to have a bath... which he enjoyed. A LOT.

All Clean :)

Family Pics.

We got our family pictures done a couple weeks ago... my grandma bought us a package for Christmas like two years ago... and we are just now getting them done. Haha. Ridiculous I know, but atleast now Treyden got to be in them :) It was really windy, but I think they still turned out pretty good. Anyway... these two were my favorite.

Us, and my mom and my little brother :) Isn't my family beautiful.

I love this!

This is the cutest thing ever... I love it. This little boy knows how to rock! Check out his guitar... its a fly swatter.

[five] months old... already??

Our baby boy is 5 months old as of yesterday. I cannot even believe that it has been 5 months already. He is growing up so fast. I forgot how fast this first year goes by. He has brought so much joy to our home and fits in perfectly... It feels like he has always been here. He is such a sweet and happy baby... he smiles at everyone, especially Deagan. He loves Deagan so much, it is amazing to see his big eyes light up anytime Deagan comes around. He just stares and smiles at him... Deagan is finally coming around and deciding maybe Treyden isn't so bad after all. He loves holding his little brother and especially loves reading him books [adorable] I will get video of it sometime.

It doesn't take much to make this little boy laugh these days. And he has the sweetest little laugh. He is talking a lot and makes all kinds of cute facial expressions. It is so fun to see his little personality start to come out. He is rolling over, he is no pro but he is getting pretty good... his round belly gets in the way a lot. He LOVES his rice cereal, and still is attached to his blue blankie. He loves bathtime and is starting to like tummy time more and more. We moved him into his crib a couple of nights ago and he is doing awesome... still sleeping through the night. It was Deagan's idea, he said that Treyden was ready to sleep in his room with him. We couldn't argue, we knew it was time... it just seems crazy that he is already old enough to be in his own bed, out of our room... didn't I just have him?? Oh well. Deagan is enjoying his new roomie. He is so funny. He can hardly stand it when Treyden is sleeping... he always wants to wake him up so they can "play" I love seeing my boys together and the love that they have for each other. I am so blessed to get to be their mommy. They teach me so much [everyday].

Here are some pictures of Treyden over the last month... he is getting so big... and his hair may be red? Or as Dev would like to say, a light brown with a red tint. Haha. Whatever, he is still [adorable].

I love you Treyden boy. These past five months have been so fun. You are such a sweet little boy, and I am so grateful to have you in my life.
