Month Old

Look at this handsome boy.  He is still a pretty content baby.  He actually looks intentionally at me now and it is fun.  His newborn size clothes don't fit him at all anymore and he is starting to grip onto everything with a death grip, sometimes it's just my skin!

Baden, and Kya still like to hold him as often as possible.  And Baden will always be found on top of, smothering, or giving kisses to Bo CONSTANTLY, he sure loves his baby brother.

Bo is Getting BIG

This boy likes to eat he is not a skinny little newborn anymore.

Great Grandma and Grandpa

On Goings On

I feel like I haven't blogged forever... but it seem like everyday is about the same as the next.  I've been getting a little stir crazy and the kids have been feeling it too.  My days sound like this, feed baby, change baby, feed kids, clean up, feed baby, change baby, feed kids, clean up, read books, take naps, clean up, laundry, clean up, feed... you get the point.  With a some movies, dress up, hide-n-seek and some yelling mixed in there a bit.  Oh the yelling, oh I hate yelling!  I really don't want to yell anymore!  But it seems as though I've been conditioned to yell by my children.  So I'm working on it, some days I do better than others.  It seem when I have a day that I'm super determined to not raise my voice at all, that is when the kids push my buttons more than ever... so I try to control it throughout my day.  I'm sure the world needed to know all of that about me, but that is my vice right now... and I hate to break it to you but I am not perfect!

Here are a few pictures of us during our normal days in the house.

The kids are super helpful and constantly want to hold Bo... or kiss or hug or smother him.  They love him SO much and have to be around him LOTS.

There was a day when Bo was about a week I left Kya on the couch like this, while I went to grab something from the garage.  I was only a few seconds.  As I opened the door back up I heard Kya's voice super close and loud... she was standing in the middle of the kitchen (on the wood floor) with Bo in her hands.  I GASPED, then catch myself, praised her for doing such a good job holding him... but we don't get off the couch with Bo.

He is such a good baby still and will take a bottle when needed (now that I have a nice new pump that takes WAY less time than my other one, so I don't mind as much.)

And I think this middle child need a little attention too!  He has always been a silly boy but he has just gotten funnier and funnier.  He has adjusted pretty well, he acts up a little more than he used to but I think he has done well.  He loves dressing up and he comes out with the best combinations of costumes on!

Oh my silly kid.

A Few Things About Bo

Bo is filling out... he already weighs 9lbs 6oz at 2.5 weeks old!

He likes lying on his stomach

He grunts and growls like a bear

He hums with each exhale for about half the day, it is about the cutest thing ever heard

He doesn't like to poop until you open his diaper... or he will wait til he has a clean one on

He'll let me know when he's done feeding by collecting a mouthful of milk and then he'll proceed to spit it all out when he gets off!  And here is proof!

Halloween

Our Halloween festivities started when daddy got home.  We painted and carved pumpkins.

I love the kids' pumpkins, the faces are about the best dollar store find yet! 

Then it was off to G-ma and G-pa's

Look at the cutest monster in town!

Where we went Trick-or-Treating 

And had fun with cousins

Then off to Grandma and Grandpa's for more Trick-or-Treating and cousins!

Halloween Parties

We had a few parties on Saturday night.  Our ward party where we ate chili and hot dogs, and then we did some games, ate cotton candy, and jumped in the bouncy house.

Then we were off to my parents ward party... which is always completely amazing!  They had games that you could play and get tokens, which you could exchange for prizes.  A haunted house that you could climb up the chimney and look out.  And the highlight of Preston and I's night was the bubbles... these were not just any bubbles they had dry ice fog in them and when they would pop the mist would disperse!
