Will is 5 months old!

This month I had a weird moment about Will this month, I went to the dollar store to get some activities for the Brock because it was going to be a long couple of weeks with Dad gone at board studies. A older lady came up to me and saw Will and said Wow he is such a beautiful baby. I said "thank you" and chased Brock down. She said "oh is he yours too?" I said "Yup, hes mine!" a little out of breath from chasing and wrestling. She proceeded to ask me how old they were (I knew I was in trouble then) She flat out looked at me and said "oh I bet you wish you used birth control". First of all none of you business lady! haha OK I didn't say that I just said "nope I don't" So I want to put it out there. I know I complain about being overwhelmed and break down and cry some days. BUT I HONESTLY would never ever wish I didn't have my boys. (and how in the world do you go about talking about how beautiful a baby is and then ask the mom if they regret them! what a twist)
How could you ever ever regret this face honestly:




He wears a 6-9 month mostly, and a 3 in diapers 




I feel like a lot has happened this month. Hes just doing a lot and movin around.

He rolls from his back to his tummy all the time constantly! but instead of rolling from his tummy to his back he just tries to craw flapping his arms and legs around and sticking his bum in the air. He really just wont roll back,


 its a bad phone picture but hes getting his bum in the air! 

Will is a master at sitting up now. All month he worked on it, and I would say he can sit by himself the majority of the time. He still needs to be watched because occasionally will throw himself backwards.


 Excuse the mess in the background and focus on the cute baby!!
 He found his cute toes!!

Will loves to flop over so he can lay upside down. This day he was on the couch and I was on the floor sitting and talking to him. He wiggled and wiggled til he was upside down in my hands!


 He gives the best faces!

 He loves to play with everything and chew on everything. He did this to himself by himself.....
 Hes pretty good at sleeping. And I catch him with his mouth open often. Brock does constantly wake him up during the day so we borrowed a better white noise maker (we just had a wall fan) and its worked so much better
 He takes baby food once a day. His tummy struggles with the cereals sometimes so we mostly do vegetables


He loves his mom! Constantly looking for me if I am not holding him and is starting to throw his body towards me. If hes crying I am (most of the time) the only person who can calm him down. He gets past around a lot though and still seems good with it. 
 

 Found his thumb this month. This is his whacha going to do about face,( give ya a darn binkie thats what! )
Can get Brock back now!!! ha ha in a loving way of course.
 Just love this picture that's all
 still has GORGEOUS blue eyes. I don't go a day out with out at least one compliment. Makes me feel pretty good cause he gets them from me!

 We got the walker and the johnie jumper out for him this month. I was thinking he wouldn't figure out how to move yet and just a good place to put his toys. I was wrong he cruises all over.
He gets so excited when he sees any of us. He just lights up and squeals! He loves his brother and loves to talk to him and laugh at him. Its so nice for Brock because its like he already has someone to play with.

Hes really good with his hands already he can grab a ball and put it in his mouth.

He jabbers and sticks hit tongue out all the time. 

Other friends will come and climb on him and love him and hes so good he just  looks at them. If Brock gets him he smiles! He knows his brother. 

I feel like he got so much more mobile then he was before Last month and he is getting to a point that he is understanding things like emotions and faces. Hes amazing and doing things way faster then expected.

And cute lets not forget that!

February... so far...

We already have a blog worthy post for February! Its been quite a half a month. Its been busy and a bit stressful, but we have had some fun and made some memories!

Super Bowl fun after Michael came home from a board study weekend... Go Broncos... whoops

we had snack foods, veggies, chilli dogs, chips and cheese and homemade salsa
Brock liked it... 


Brock playing, waiting for his neurology appointment. All went well, we have a bug huge EEG and ultrasound in July. It makes me so anxious because I know she is paying attention to how well his mind works and he just clams up and wont talk or do anything. Just thinking about it makes me so anxious.


Hanging out


A ski hill. We put popcycle sticks on his animals and slide them down the hill. He liked coloring on it more... and taking the skies off. But it was a fun activity


Our own Olympic torch! He loved waving it around












Fun snow day! 



Play dough hearts for valentines day

We said goodbye to one of our favorite sister missionaries. Sister Mazeika went to Arkansas to serve!

hanging out one night that Michael was teaching with the Missionaries.

YEah he just learning how to take off his clothes....


Making Chocolate dipped strawberries for valentines day 
Since days have been cold we have been Bird watching out our windows. There's a few robins hiding in the bushes. We have found cardinals, blue jays, morning doves, pigeons, robins, little chickadees and some black birds.
Valentines day was a little bit of a fussy day.... I tried to do some fun activities, and take some fun pictures but the day ended up just being overwhelming. Michael came home and I was just crying. some things that happened: Will barely slept all day I think I got 3 30 min naps, it took me about 30 minutes to get him to sleep for those 30 minutes. Brock either had to be held or he cried. And he threw a tantrum and threw my camera. Broke the screen. We did end up going to a fun dinner by the young women and young men called Chez Lui. It helped them raise money for camp, and we even got to eat dessert without wrestling with babies!
Bonus: I got a new camera out of it. And Brock got a camera for his Valentines present.
I did get some pictures but I had no idea what they looked like til I plugged it into the computer.



They both were so happy....



My sister Tamara got her Mission call! Shes going to Ventura California. We are very excited, and so proud!  



Cuddles

hanging out at the Zoo today for the first warm day in a long time!



This is about the best thing ever. 
I cannot handle this cuteness. 



Lots more to come!! And some fun new Camera playing.
