Jesse's visit in May

Jesse got home the day before Mother's Day and it was such a treat to get to sleep in on Mother's Day and have his help withJace. Jace was very happy to have him home because daddy can do some fun stuff that pregnant worn out mommy can't haha. We had a really good time just relaxing and hanging out at home. But we also did quite a few fun things like hang out with friends and famh and of course ate out a lot. We would get yummy food and go eat it in the canyon because the weather was so beautiful. One time we got subway and right as I was finishing I got so nauseous that I lost everything and we had to go get me more food cause my poor belly was so empty. We spent a lot of time hanging out with family just talking and laughing. Jesse thinks he is so funny and his family thinks he is hilarious too. Maybe cause I'm the butt of the joke a lot  I think he's funny but don't laugh as much haha. We went to Scheels this huge sporting goods store and it was really cool and was so big we got tired before finishing exploring so we'll have to go check that out again sometime. We took jace to the rec center which was fun cause there was hardly anyone there so we could be loud and crazy :)  our anniversary on the 19th was pretty chill we just went to dinner and had some nice alone time. 

10 months

Jace is ten months old and as crazy as ever! I looked at him while he was on Jesse's shoulders and made a weird face and growled at him which made him smile and go nuts. It made me realize that he is weird cause I am weird :). He is walking all over the place... As long as he has something to hold onto haha. Jesse said, " he has the side step down, he could side step to China!" He has been very needy of me for the last while,
he basically only wants me and no one else and he almost always has to see me or be near me. I'm ok with it cause he is so cute I can't get enough of him!  

8 months old

           Jace is eight months old !

He is so fun and crazy, I'm so glad I get to be with him all the time and really witness all the funny exciting things he does. I want to document a few things I have noticed that are small but I want to remember. 

He really studies objects, he turns them over and over studying them from every angle. He does this silly thing where he lifts the object up above his head in a circle still staring and studying it. 

He growls a lot and sometimes it sounds like a zombie and freaks me out, but mostly it is adorable. 

Now that he can crawl he follows me everywhere. When he is in his walker he follows me, it can really hurt my ankles because he just keeps bashing into me so he can be as close to me as possible! 

I am so lucky to have such a happy and healthy baby. He has had a rough time lately because he is pulling himself up to standing which means falling down a lot and bumping his head. It scares me so bad, but I do appreciate all the love and hugs I'm getting out of it. Also he has been a little sad about the pain of some teeth coming in.

Overall he is a super happy, sweet, crazy about life little boy and I'm so glad I get to be his momma! Oh another funny thing is that when I sing the song Bohemian Rhapsody dramatically he hates it and cries almost every time...which I find hilarious. 

I like to move it, move it

This kid is becoming very mobile. He can scooch backwards and can get to his bum on his own. 

6 months old!

Jace is six months old and I know how cliche is sounds but I simply can't believe how fast the time has gone by!

He is getting so big and is developing really quickly right now. If you sit him on his bum he can sit up on his own for a while. He now turns over from his back to his belly, which for him is a big deal cause he hated being on his belly. 

I adore this little guy so much! He really is my best friend, we do so many fun things everyday. I enjoy reading to him and listening to him laugh, sometimes he snorts or sucks in air and it is ridiculously funny. 

Yesterday was his six month appointment and he is a tall and lean kid! My string bean got shots which are leaving him feeling icky and the doctor confirmed that he has some teeth coming in too so he is a sad little guy today, but is still such a happy smiley baby so I count myself lucky.

Jace Christmas pics

We had a Christmas photoshoot and got some great pictures for his first Christmas

Momma

I love my mom so much and I simply can't believe she has been gone for almost four years. 

Sadly like everyone my memories fade, and I'm genuinely worried that if I don't take the time to think about her and actually write things down I will just forget. So here are some things I remember about my mom.

She:

-Loved boggle

-Loved history - Horatio hornblower, Napoleon

-Loved music and movies -Start the Revolution without me

-Wanted to be called Groovy gal or bitchin babe

-Cared about resolving problems immediately 

-Passionate at football games (I remember hearing her yell at the players when we came to watch me cheer haha)

-Loved Yankees and hockey 

-Talked a lot! (Like mother like daughter!)

- Very giving

- Loved bicycling

- Crafty (made beautiful dresses and we all had homemade quilts)

 

These are just a few for now, I'll come back and add more later
