Hanging with Friends & Baby

Friday, August 17, 2012

A few weeks ago we spent a nice Sunday afternoon hanging out with our dear friends from our ward. Little Slade got to see the kids and the kids LOVED playing with him! Slade was pretty whiny most of the time though haha. We had gathered together for dessert but the ice cream never set and I wasn't eating dairy at the time so I didn't mind! Just a great evening with great friends chatting about everything :) Love them! 




Amanda's Shower

One last shower that I went to! Blaine is great friends with my friend's husband (that's how I met Amanda in the first place) and so he came along to for the get together. We unfortunately made it late to the shower so we missed opening all the presents but we did go to say hi to the soon to be parents and socialize a little bit. Cannot wait to see baby Autumn due sometime next week! We are excited for Slade to have another girlfriend! haha 

Aliante Walk

We love all the trails and walking paths around our neighborhood in Aliante! Slade loves to go on stroller walks and it's great exercise for me so we try to go out as often as we can but it's usually so hot out that we can't! I cannot wait for fall for the perfect strolling weather. On this walk, we had cloudy weather and it was just after raining. So cool outside for it to be August! Anywho, I took my camera out during this walk and captured some of the details around my neighborhood. Slade loves these walks so much he falls right to sleep :)

Slade - 2 Month

Wednesday, August 15, 2012


Two months and this month went by even faster than the last one! I'm sure that's how life will be from now on. It's so fun to see him grow and develop and how he has his own little personality. We keep on loving this little guy more and more every day! Here is a little bit about him at 2 months old:

  • When he was born he was 6.6 lbs, 17.75 inches
  • NOW 10 pounds, 22 inches (give or take...forgot stats haha)
  • Hair starting to get lighter
  • When he's not sad to begin with, he does love his diaper changes. He makes noises and plays with his hands and feet
  • He discovered looking at mirrors! He stares and stares at himself
  • Still looking like he might keep his blue eyes!
  • Used his swing ONCE without crying haha
  • Got a MamaRoo and if he's happy to begin with, he likes it! 5 different swing settings
  • Likes the bouncer OK
  • He SO loves his carseat! 
  • Strolls in his stroller put him RIGHT to sleep
  • He survives church by sleeping almost all 3 hours
  • He hates pacifiers still, takes his MAM one ONCE in a blue moon
  • No more sucking on his hand
  • Still kinda hates nursing sometimes, he has his good days and bad days! #itsbeentough
  • Losing a little hair perhaps but I'm sure it keeps growing too
  • Makes more noises! Ooohs and Aaahs!
  • Loves the ceiling fan above our bed still
  • My hair tickles him
  • Blaine can hold him and play with his legs while watching TV
  • Some of his 0-3 month clothes are not fitting anymore!
  • Sleeps pretty good still : 9pm - 1am then 2pm-6am and I don't have to rock him to sleep much anymore, he sometimes can be placed in the crib awake and he falls asleep without crying :)
  • He has giggled! His head started bouncing up and down and you could see a gummy grin for quite a while! 
  • Starting to make drool bubbles
  • When he gets scared, his hands make gangster signs
  • He likes his baths now I think! Last bath he didn't even wimper or shed a tear
  • Working on tummy time and he kinda hates it...only lasts a minute or two
In his bouncy seat
I'm just loving these eyes....look at that blue coming in!

Slade - 1 Month



Oh my goodness, words cannot express how much we love Slade! Fastest month of our lives. The days have been a blur! Filled with love, tears, less sleep, more smiles, and such a full heart. He's a little bit about our growing boy!

  • When he was born he was 6.6 lbs, 17.75 inches
  • NOW 8 pounds, 21 inches (give or take...forgot stats haha)
  • Slade came out with a head full of hair….looked really black but it’s starting to get lighter
  • Makes the world's saddest face with his frown
  • He started out hating his diaper changes...only time he would scream bloody murder. Now he likes them only after he's full and happy.
  • It’s looking like he might keep his blue eyes! Just like Dad 
  • He liked his swing….like twice haha he’ll be fine, then we’ll put him in it and he’ll scream to get out…he just wants to be held by his parents 
  • He does like his bouncer a bit more but the vibration that comes with it is usually not enough, I tap my foot on it while we eat dinner and he loves it, he then falls asleep there
  • He loves his carseat! Sometimes when its time to go and hes fussy, we put him in there and THEN he calms down.
  • With that, he loves car rides, he falls asleep or is happily awake
  • Also in his carseat, he loves going on walks in his stroller
  • Loves to fall asleep on mom and dad's arms
  • He survives sacrament meeting at church because he’s sooo asleep.
  • He usually survives primary sharing time too, even with all the rowdy and loud singing kids!
  • He hates pacifiers, we found one MAM kind and he liked it for like two days
  • He can’t find his thumb so he sucks on his whole fist
  • He kinda hates nursing sometimes, he has his good days and bad days! #itsbeentough
  • He sometimes sucks on his arm right after eating….but he’s not hungry anymore
  • People love to make his hair a faux hawk
  • Likes his picture taken! Really! I think he likes the shutter sound haha
  • Loves the ceiling fan above our bed
  • He doesn't really pay attention to Lexy our cat...she doesn't pay attention to him either haha
  • He LOVES cuddling with dad in bed or on the couch
  • NB and 0-3 month clothes is what he wears
  • Eats like 12 times a day! Hungry man
  • When he eats too much he gets the hiccups and he doesn't mind
  • Sleeps pretty good : 9pm - 1am then 2pm-6am ....can't complain!
  • LOVES to be swaddled, can't sleep without his SwaddleMe
  • He started sleeping in his crib by like 3 weeks... he started in his bassinet but after midnight feeding, straight to the crib and now just in his crib
This kid does have a nice set of lungs sometimes :)
When he's sleeping that's the most peaceful face ever! 
This is the world's saddest face :) We still think he looks adorable though

Happy 25th Birthday Blaine!

Fun day to celebrate with Blaine! We had a couple celebrations with him. First, we celebrated early by having my mom babysit Slade and we went shopping at the mall, went to dinner and just spent some fun time together! Later in the week we had Cafe Rio with his dad, got a swamp cooler for his present, and then on Sunday we celebrated with his family with cake and ice cream! Can't believe he is 25! We feel like we are growing up so fast! Now we are parents! I love this birthday boy!
