5 month update

Miles is five months and is still as happy as ever! He is such a good boy and is doing lots of fun new things. We went in for our four month appointment last week ( a little late!) and surprise, surprise, he is off the charts again! He weighs 21 pounds 11 ounces. I don't even remember what she said about the height. So we have started baby food and cereal and he absolutely loves it!!! He sure knows how to eat and makes quite a mess in the process. This is one of my favorite stages ever! For some reason I just love feeding them baby food. He loves all the veggies and isn't quite so sure about fruit. We set up this bouncer for him and he LOVES it!!! He is a bouncing fool!



First time having cereal was not a real success. He does a lot better now, I promise!!!
Now for the sad news: his hair is falling out!!! I was hoping so bad that it wouldn't, but every time I get him out of bed there is more hair stuck to his blanket. It really is depressing to me, the exact same thing happened to Marcus. I'm thinking about collecting the hair and trying to glue it back on the sides. What do you think? He still has a mop on the top, but it is looking stranger every morning. I'll have to get some good pictures to show what I'm talking about. I guess I'll just enjoy the kitty hair for as long as I can. Why do babies have to grow up?

Good times


So we've been home now for a couple of weeks and I thought it was about time to post some pics from Utah. We had such a good time!! We ate at all our favorite restaurants, went to some fun new places, but most of all just hung out with our families. That is my favorite part, just chilling at my mom's with everyone I love most in the whole world!! The kids did awesome on the plane!! They seriously were so well behaved, I almost didn't recognize them :) Thanks to grandma Lu and grandpa Mark for the suitcases! They were a hit! We were a bit like a three ring circus through the airport! Lots of comments and funny looks. I should have just made a sign that said "Yes, they are all mine!" Keeping everyone together and going the same direction was definitely the hardest part.




Sleeping arrangements at Grandma's. Yeah, just what you think - not a lot of sleeping going on at night. I thought they would crash since we stayed up until at least 11:00 every night, but no! They would play and play. Funny the first night - not so funny night two through fourteen :)



Grandma and my happy baby!



Marcus and his own gallon of chocolate milk. This kid can pack the cm away!!!!


All the cousins at breakfast



How is that for a six pack?


OK. So I put the pictures in the wrong order! I'm retarded, what can I say! Kenley has been wanting to cut her hair for a while and we think she looks so dang cute!!! I must admit I got choked up a bit. It makes her look so grown up. We even cut a little bit more off after this picture because Kade informed her that it was still touching her shoulders and he thought she should cut off a little bit more.


Bye Bye!!!


Before with Nicki - our live in hair dresser!


One of many pizza parties!


Kenley with Great Grandma. She seriously loves her and talks about her all the time. I happen to be a little fond of her myself! Love you grandma!!!!!!!!

Riding the front runner to Gateway. The kids thought it was so cool to ride a "train"


We went to Discovery Gateway and had a blast! There were so many fun things to do!





We thought Miles was big enough to pull out the tigger bouncer. He loved it, but mostly just loved chillin.
We had such a fun time! And of course everyone got sick, except me. A trip to Utah wouldn't be complete without Justin barfing and all the kids getting horrible coughs and runny noses!! Thanks to mom for putting up with us in the middle of a remodel! Like you needed more mess, right? Just so you know we did hang out with the Woodruff's too, I just don't have any pictures to prove it :) They just love going there and playing with everyone. We love you all!!!
