First haircut

Today, Cody got his first haircut.  He was so good and looks so handsome!

Mike's surprise party

So Mike turned 40 on the 21st.  He is always letting us know that we could never surprise him.  Well-this time we got him....  Happy Birthday!

Halloween 2010

9 months...

I finally took Cody's 9 month pictures!  I think they turned out so cute.  As you can see, he has quite the personality.  He now weighs 18 lbs (10% percentile.)  He has grown so much since his 5 lbs 9 oz debut.  He waves at everyone and says "hi" and "hey."  He also says "Mama"  "Dada"  and "Baba."  He is SO busy and has no fear.  Welcome to having a boy, right?

 

 

Crawling...ugh

So today is the day... it is time to babyproof. Cody started crawling. While it is so much fun to see him progress, I must admit I am not ready for this. Funny he picked the day the girls are off to their 1st day of school.

1st day of school

I was so sad to have to send off my girls to school today. I usually am pushing them out the door, but this year summer flew by. The day started out kind of rough... Bria could not get to sleep the night before. She was actually too excited for school, but not being able to sleep was stressing her out. I think she finally fell asleep at 3am. Poor thing! I let her sleep in as long as I could. Alexi had a bad hair day... and she was very nervous for her first day of high school. I was trying to curl her hair and get breakfast for her to eat on the way, since her ride was honking for her. It all ended up going great for them. Bria was not as tired throughout the day as she had expected to be and Alexi's first day of high school was not all that bad.

Finally, the tooth has arrived!

We have been waiting and waiting for Cody's first tooth to appear. He has been chewing and drooling for months now. Every grumpy day, I blamed it on the tooth (that never came.) Finally on Monday it showed its face.

Adoption finalization

We had an amazing weekend a few weeks ago. Fri, July 30th was our adoption finalization, then Sun. Aug 1st we were able to bless Cody, and Monday, Aug. 2nd we were sealed in the Salt Lake temple. What an absolutely beautiful amazing experience! We have some pictures coming of our temple sealing, but here are some pictures of the finalization. Our dear friends, John & Julie Peterson were able to come with us too!

6 months old...

We are so excited that Cody is 6 months old. We begin a whirlwind of fun the next few weeks... Adoption finalization, blessing and our temple sealing. To top it all off our family and closest friends will all be here to celebrate with us.

He finally did it!

Finally, Cody decided to roll over... We caught it on video so here you go.

Our beautiful girls...

5 months...

I am finally getting around to posting Cody's 5 month pictures... He is growing like crazy and is so much fun. He loves to go which is a good thing since our family is always on the go! I took him to the doctor last week and he is now just over 14 lbs... He is in the 10th percentile on weight, but the 50th percentile on height and head size.

He's 4 months!

4 months old... phew where does the time go? He is so much fun...giggling, talking, playing. He loves to be the center of attention.

Tulip Festival!

A few weeks ago we went to the tulip festival. It is always amazing. This year the the tulips were pretty damaged due to a hailstorm the day before. We still had a great time!

We can't believe Cody is 3 months old!
