This and That

 Noah turned 9 months old on May 12th. He is just a ball of energy! He hasn't learned to crawl yet, but he is very close. He has his 2 bottom teeth and he's getting his top teeth so it makes his smile very cute.

Here are his stats:
weight: 18 lbs. 1 oz-11th percentile
height: 27.75 inches-31st percentile
head: 18.5-89th percentile

Caden had his first baseball game and he did awesome! I think he likes this sport because it doesn't require a lot of running. (he's not a runner)

He needs to learn to keep his eyes open when he is swinging.

Unfortunately Halle started throwing up right before we were supposed to leave. Luckily Grandma Eyre was here to save the day and watch her so I could still go. Thanks Grandma!

We went to Temple Square the other day because my cousin was getting sealed to her husband and little baby. My kids had fun walking around and going into all the buildings. It was a beautiful day!

 Our friend Trent opened a Dickey's restaurant at Jordan Landing. They have delicious food so everyone should go try it out! (that was some free advertising Trent)

Happy Birthday Caden!

Six years ago my life changed forever...I became a mother. Caden was born on May 12, 2006. I knew I always wanted to be a mom, but when it became a reality I was terrified. Maybe it was because I was living in a totally different state as my mom and she couldn't come help me every time I needed her. It has definitely been one of the most rewarding and difficult things I have done in my life.

 

 

I can't believe Caden is already six years old! I told him he could invite a friend or two over for a small party. Of course he invited Gabe and Kent because they can't live without eachother.

We played some Lego bingo... 

We played pin the head on the Lego man...

We watched a Lego movie while we ate lunch...

We decorated cupcakes...

And we opened presents...

We also had a family Birthday party too.

 

Caden's favorite things:

Food: cheese pizza

TV show: Curious George

Movie: Rango

Book: Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Game: Angry Birds

BASEBALL

Caden started baseball. He loves it! Gabe is on his team so I think that helps. He has his first game on Tuesday so we will see how it goes. 

Caden got to play catcher...

Caden is catching and Gabe is hitting...

Caden hitting...

The kids have been begging me to get the swimming pool out so I finally gave in. It's some good entertainment!

I can't believe how big Noah has been getting. When I took this picture of him on Halle's lap I had to laugh because he looks like a giant.

I'm sad because he is outgrowing his swing. It's the one thing that will put him to sleep when I need to get things done.

He doesn't like to sit back in it.

And occasionally he turns sideways.

It will be a sad day when we have to pack it away. (or throw it away since it doesn't work anymore)

Noah is 8 Months Old!

Noah turned 8 months old yesterday. Taking his picture with the bear is getting harder and harder. He either attacks the bear or rolls over. Here are a few of my attempts at a picture.

He thinks it's pretty funny to stick his tongue out.

If you look closely you can see his bottom tooth poking through.

I love when he gets so excited and scrunches his face up.

Halle loves Noah and even shares her toys with him occasionally.

Caden was mad that he had to stop drawing to get his picture taken.

When he isn't playing the Wii, he is drawing.

It's his passion in life.
