Just can't get enough...

of this kid! He just suprises me everyday. He has been able to roll from his belly to his back and from his back to his belly for a while now, but Sunday he decided that he could really get around that way. He was rolling everywhere and it was just making us laugh. After a few days of that, he has decided it isn't the most efficient way to get around and so he's been trying to figure something else out. Today he was trying so hard to get on his knees but he would just push himself backwards and then he would do a superman and kick his feet really fast and try again. Poor kid is just stuck in reverse. I was doing my hair this morning and when I looked for him a few minutes later, he had pushed himself backwards far enough to reach our bed and this is what I found him doing...

Is that a mischievous look or what? What a silly kid.

He had his 6 month check on Monday and he did AWESOME! He weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs 13 oz (25th percentile) and he's 27 1/4 inches tall (75th percentile). I was kind of dissapointed at his weight. He feels so heavy to me and he eats his veggies and cereal like a maniac. He had 2 shots and some oral medicine. He only cried for a second after the shots though! I stuck the bink in his mouth and he was golden. What a champ. I told the Dr. what happend last time we were there and he didn't even offer an appology or explaination or anything! That kind of frustrated me but we had a nice nurse this time and I like the Dr., so we'll stick with him. I just was expecting an appology or something. Goodness. Well, that is about it in our world. Justin is studying for his last final tonight and I CAN'T wait for it to be over and have my husband back!!!!!! He and Brady did fix the floor infront of our door last night. (Thanks again for dinner Christi and I'm glad you were here to hang out with!) When the old owners put the carpet in they put it clear up to the door and we hated it. (Really, who does that?) The door drug on the carpet and it was getting all worn and gross looking. It looks so much better now that I just like to stand and stare at it. Wierd, I know.

Hap Birt

Yes, that is right. Koy is a little over 1/2 a year old. Wierd huh? (That is why he only gets half of the letters in Happy Birthday.) This month has been pretty fun. He loves to roll and it makes me laugh when I go to get him from a nap to find him at the other end of the crib. I just haven't gotten used to the fact that he can move. He really loves his tummy and he can hold himself up pretty well. He'll be finding his knees anyday now and I can't wait. He is so noisy and loves to eat. He has tried squash and green beens and lets just say, at first he wasn't a fan of the squash but the green beans are even worse. It makes us laugh. He probably wishes he could have more squash, but we're all out. Sorry bud.

He loves to spit now. He just squishes his little lips together and spits whatever he can out. Whether it be spit or food. We bought him his first pair of little sandles. When I put them on him for the first time, he had pulled one off and was chewing on it before I even picked him up. Oh well. He chews on everything... kind of like a puppy. He got his first sunburn this month. We went for a walk a few weeks ago and we stopped and chatted w/one of the girls in our ward. He had red little cheeks for a few days but it wasn't so bad that he cried from it but we make sure to always have sunscreen now. You can REALLY tell if he is mad when he cries now. Good heavens child! Usually it is because he's suck and can't roll over anymore. Also, he has started to squeel like a little girl. If anyone knows how to train him to stop, that would be wonderful. J/k. :) We just love this little guy and he makes us laugh all of the time!

He is so curious and always know what is around him!

He can sit up on his own for a few seconds

Easter Weekend

We went to Evanston to G&G South's house for Easter this year. It was really fun because we got to see Grandma Kim and so many of our favorite people. Koy and Bridger had fun picking at each other. It is probably so wierd for them to see a person their size but I think those two are going to be good buddies. Here are a bunch of pics but I couldn't just choose one.

Koy and Bridger

I think Bridg is trying to tell Koy a secret. Maybe wondering why they have to smile for the camara again...

After they realized they were the same size, it was impossible to get them to both look at the camara

"Can I eat your hand?" says Bridger...

"Sure!" says Koy, "but I get to pick your nose."

Givin' hugs...

Grandma's and their grandkids. Cute huh? (I think Koy looks like my nephew Logan in this picture... uh oh...)

Gramps and Granny Goose

We went to the Baby Animal Days and the Hertiage Center with my friends last Friday. It was pretty fun but it was IMPOSSIBLE to get all 3 of these kids to look at the camara.

This was Koy's Easter toy that we gave him like a month early. He loves it and we love that he loves it.

Just some random pics...

Grrrrr....

Here is is John Deer outfit he got from grandma. His head is way to big for the hat.

Just can't resist the stinkin' Carter's clothes. I love this outfit!

Koy loves to grab your face. (It hurts sometimes.)

Here he is giving Dad some loves. It was so cute!

IBC Rootbeer + Koy = Love

Justin gave Koy his rootbeer bottle the other night at Chili's. He sucked on it through dinner, ice cream and until we took him out of his carseat when we got home...

Mr. 5 Months (1 week and 2 days...)

I'm a little late getting this posted, but here are Koy's 5 month pics w/his monkey. He is just getting so big! We finally put most of the 3 month clothes away. It was sad but it was kind of fun because now he has some different clothes to wear. This month he has started to really enjoy his tummy and even has rolled from his back to tummy a few times and he can roll over his left shoulder now too. His little bottom teeth are just growing and growing and they are so cute, but SO sharp! He loves to bite on anything he can find and even got Justin's finger pretty good the other day. He's been sleeping really well the last few nights and we hope that it lasts. Justin told Koy the other night that if he slept good he would buy him a puppy, well, Koy took it pretty serious and slept until a little after 5:30. The next night he didn't get up until after 6 and then this morning he slept until 7:30! Now the trick is to not go on any trips for a while so we don't mess up this good streak! He still drools like crazy but in the last few weeks he's really been getting the spitting up thing in control. Finally! I know that's so gross, but he just has had a really hard time keeping his food down. Although, I did take him to see the Dr. last week and when the Dr. got close to him he chucked. It was pretty funny. He is getting more and more fun to interact with and he just grins and giggles at you. We have so much fun with him and he makes the funniest noises sometimes that Justin and I just laugh. Oh, he's just so cute!

(Yes, his jeans are floods. We'll eventually buys him some that fit.)

(I love this face and you can kind of see his teeth.)

(He looks so cute in his denim jacket. Thanks Aunt Heather!)

Spring Break

Justin's spring break was actually pretty adventurous this year. On Friday we headed down to St. George so that we could be to my grandma's 90th birthday party on Saturday. Since we had never been to the St. George temple, we decided we would get up Saturday morning and go. Bagle and Christi joined us and it was pretty fun. Then we went to grandma's b-day party, ate, looked at some pictures that were pretty humerous. Actually, it was really fun to see pictures of us that we had never seen but it was even more fun to read the captions by some of them. Oh grandma... Then we stopped by Neilson's to get frozen custard before we headed out to California. Mmmm... custard....

We were about 100 miles away from Matt and Laurie's house when Koy had decided he was not going to sleep or be good in the car seat anymore. However, due to some quick thinking, I hit the play button on my phone and handed it to him. The annoying sample songs kept him entertained and when I reached back to snap a picture of him, this is what I found... It was fun to stay w/Matt and Laurie and be to Paige's blessing. We had a great time in Cali and Justin even went and hung out with the Vet in Laurie's ward one day. I think he had a good time. Also, we went hot tubbing and then Justin got the idea to jump in their un-heated pool. Yeah, freeze ya to death. I was kind of a chicken, but after you got in and your heart skipped a few beats, you were ok.

On the way home

Koy and Paige. (I think he's pinching her? J/k.)

On the way home we stopped and stayed a night in Vegas. The main reason we go to Vegas is to see Danny and Chels. (Thanks for always letting us bombard you!)

Camdyn and Koy

Danny, Justin and their kiddo's watching the "water dance."

And after we watched the fountains at the Belagio, we headed home. We stopped in St. George at grandma's to bathe Koy and get more custard. Seriously, you can't pass up the opportunity to get custard. We didn't get home until a little after 3 am, which is insanely late but it was a lot easier on Koy. He slept the whole way from St. George! Wahoo! We really had a good trip and it was so nice to be in the warmth and sunshine! I am half tempted to move there, but it may be a little to0 hot for us in the summers, so I guess Laurie will just have to move back to Utah!
