Texas Ya'll

Well we had such a great Christmas season! We left Christmas afternoon to fly to San Antonio, Texas to visit my sister and her family. Caleb did alright on the flight down, and slept the whole way on the flight home. Whew- travelling with an infant was a whole new experience! Luckily we had lots of people to help and everything went fairly smoothly. It was so great to see my sister and her family- we miss those crazy Texans!
We went to Sea World and Daddy was so proud to have won his son a stuffed animal- pretty sad he beat an innocent little girl to get it :)


This little darling turned 8 years old while we were down there and we got to attend her baptism. What a special day!

We walked along the River Walk and went to The Alamo. It was rainy and freezing, but San Antonio is a very beautiful city!


We have just started rice cereal...not sure how we feel about it yet!

4 months!

Well, our little man is now 4 whole months! As a celebration of his big day he decided to get an ear infection. What a great way to celebrate huh? On top of that I am pretty sure he is starting to teethe, oh and he got his shots. He definitely has not been his normally happy self this past week, but he is sill pretty much the most awesome thing around :)


Josh's brother works for the Jazz and was able to get us second row tickets to see the Jazz play the Orlando Magic. For those of you who aren't aware, for some reason my husband is obsessed with the Orlando Magic, and has been since elementary school. He is also a Jazz fan, but was sad after the game because his precious Magic lost to the Jazz :)


This is a picture of how sick our little boy has been. He is not normally a cuddly kid, so for him to fall asleep while I am holding him means he is not feeling very well :(

We were able to go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir concert featuring David Archuleta on Sunday morning. Wow...it was so great! We certainly love that kid!

Ventiquattro (24 in Italian)

Well- I officially turned 24 on December 1st! It was a great day and I got spoiled as usual. I have decided that 24 is a pretty awesome age- not quite in your mid-20's, but still a respectable age :). I think being 24 is going to be pretty legit...am I too old to say that now?

FYI- I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS KID :)

Christmas Card first timers :)

Josh and I have debated every Christmas we have been married whether or not to make and send out Christmas cards. We always said we would send out one once we had a kid, so this will be our first year :) I have noticed that ever since we had Caleb, holidays are just a lot more fun!

I found out about Shutterfly from some friends, and went on their website to discover tons of fun things you can do for really CHEAP. Being the poor students that we are, cheap is our favorite word :)

Here are some links to some cool things on their website:

October

I hear people say all of the time- "Where does the time go?" I always just thought it was an overused expression, but recently I have had an epiphany of what that saying is all about. My baby is almost 11 weeks old! Caleb is such a good baby- most of the time anyways :) I just can't believe how big he is getting...he babbles to me all day long and holds his head up with ease. He HATES being on his tummy, so he has a lovely bald spot on the back of his head where he has rubbed all of his hair off. He loves getting his diaper changed- I actually look forward to changing his diaper because he gets so excited and happy!
I have tried to keep him on a good schedule, and he actually slept through the night 3 nights in a row this week, but then woke up every hour last night to prove to his mom who is actually the boss in the house :)
Josh blessed Caleb on September 26th, and it was such a great day. This is the outfit Josh was blessed in and it fit him perfectly

Here are some pictures of our October...





Where does the time go? :)

Caleb's Photo Shoot

These pictures were taken when Caleb was about 2 1/2 weeks old! He is now almost 6 weeks...I can't believe how fast time is going...why did pregnancy take so long when time is flying now that he's here?! Enjoy our sweet little boy :)
