Giant

How ginormous does Trevin look next to baby Ivy?? She is only a month and a half old but what a difference a few months make.

I'M 5 MONTHS OLD!!

WEIGHT:  15.4 LBS

FAVORITE TOY:  Blankets.  Loves to put them over his face and play peek-a-boo. 

FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Doing tummy time in front of the mirror so he can look at himself.  Playing peek-a-boo...so cute...he will actually put the blanket over his head and then pull it away and smile when I say peek-a-boo

MILESTONES:  Sitting up for a few seconds.  Standing while holding onto something for a few seconds.  Eating big boy food

DISLIKES:  Spitting up hence the bib he is wearing in the picture.  We change outfits at least twice a day!

SLEEP PATTERN:  NO COMMENT!!  Still having issues.  Past few nights I get up once to put the pacifier back in and then once more to feed.  Then around 6ish he will usually come snuggle with us and sleep for a little longer.  I need to stop doing that because I don't want him to get used to that but I will admit that I love morning snuggle time.  

Beach day

Trevin's first day at the beach. What a great place to live!

Just a little off the top

Daddy shaved Ryden's hair. Mama isn't sure how she feels about it. On another note, Trevin got his first haircut too. He's not even 5 months old.

Best letter ever

From my nephew Ben...

Dont let your brother see...

A few seconds after I took this, Ryden grabbed Brobee. He then gave me a look and whined "Brobee is all wet!!"

Big boy!

Sitting up....for a few seconds at least.

Zoo Day

For my birthday Teresa and I took the kiddos to the zoo.  Going to the zoo with her is a blast because we walk the entire park to make sure we see everything.  I've been so many times but I always seem to see something new when she's with me.  Ryden had so much fun also because Grandma was there.  Trevin pretty much played peek-a-boo with himself to keep entertained

Ryden insisted on having his picture taken by several different patches of cactus

And then insisted on jumping on every puddle

We rode on the double decker bus that takes you around the park.  It was nice and relaxing until we dropped Brobee a few minutes in and had to hear about it the entire time.  We thought it was lost forever but thank goodness we were sitting on the top floor so it landed on the floor below us

Final stop?  The chimps....Ryden loved this area and even had some face time with a few monkey's (which I didn't get a picture of).  He also liked climbing this bamboo pole

Fun day

Trevin's girl...that is a friend

Yesterday I had a birthday play date for my friend Claire (that's what happens when you get older....instead of bar hopping we have play dates...nice)  There were 13 kids under the age of three at my house.  It was crazy...but fun crazy.  Trevin even got to have some of his homies over.  Mainly, his older woman Ainsley.  We sat them in front of each other and Ainsley was in awe.  She grabbed for his hand....Trevin smiled

She gave a confused look....Trevin smiled

Still unsure....Trevin still smiling.  What a ladies man

On another note, Jason  Ryden got a new toy.  A mini skate ramp.  In heaven....

Christmas in Tucson

A little late with this post but here are a few pics from Christmas in Tucson.  As always, Ryden had a blast with his cousins and all the angry birds.  And Trev was pretty happy with all the attention as well   

My mom and I dressed like twinsies

We went to Winterhaven and admired all the awesome lights.  Ryden spent most of his time jumping off curbs but he did love riding in the wagon for a little bit with his cousin

Ryden got lots of Papa time

CHRISTMAS DAY!!

New slippers from Cody

New handmade belt

Kindle fire's were a hit (don't get any ideas Ryden)

Jacob's favorite...Sara just told me that Jacob told his neighbor that he has a cousin with no teeth named Trevin...good one!

Breakfast cookers

New presents for Trevin

Best present Ryden got?  One of Grandpa Clyde's airplanes!  I am so excited to hang it in his room

 Brother love

My mom asked Emma and Ryden to hold up how many fingers old they are.  I don't think they understood the question

Bracing himself for the extremely LOUD whipped cream sound

Merry Christmas from TUCSON!
