16 Months

My handsome little guy is exploring so much!  He LOVES to go up and down stairs and does it really well and usually doesn't need any assistance. He throws himself on the floor if he doesn't get his way and we just ignore him or make him get up. He says Mmmmmm after every bite of food especially after Mac and cheese or even when he puts nonfood things in his mouth and pretends it was yummy. Says Ya to questions and means it. Says boon for balloon and guck for truck. Waves to vehicles as they drive by.  His favorite things to do are- Sprinkle dog food throughout the house for the dogs to eat, wrap his legs around your arms when changing his diaper, and riding the lawn mower with Dad. He has 2 more bottom teeth. Drinks from a straw, likes cheese quesadilla's, gives you five when you ask for it, and loves to dance. He spins, claps his hands, and stomps his feet when he dances.

Gage loves to get into the drawers in the bathroom and play with the tampons.  I'm hoping some day this pic will come in handy some day when I need a favor from the kid =)

Going outside to help dad work on the shed. Yes it was me mom who dressed him.

Eating spaghetti at daycare and LOVING it!! Plus he LOVES daycare.  He has cried when either Kyle or I come and pick him up.  I think he is pretty spoiled there.

He really likes to take pens and put them up his pants or draw all over himself with it too. He likes to sit in boxes, or the laundry basket, or his toy train.  I know I say it all the time but I wish time would slow down so I can spend more time with this cute little guy!!

Baby #2

I'm 15 weeks along in July.  At 17 weeks I could feel the baby kicking which was much earlier than Gage since I knew what I was feeling this time.  The 1st trimester I was sick a lot but didn't let anyone know I was pregnant.  I started to show much earlier this time and was surprised no one said anything. Everything is going great tho.

I'm 20 weeks along in the pic and we got to have an ultrasound and was going to find out the gender but a few hours before we went in we changed our minds and decided to not find out.  We had such a great time not knowing what Gage was we wanted to do it again. The 2nd trimester has been pretty good.  I'm not as sick but still have some days that aren't the best.  I get horrible leg cramps tho.

Our baby didn't want to show us his/her face just like Gage never did but sure has cute arms, hands, and an ear.  Can't wait to meet you in January!!

15 months old

Gage has been going to daycare at Brenda's for a couple months now and LOVES it.  He absolutely loves Brenda and all the kids there.  Most of the time he doesn't want to come home with me or Kyle. Which I'm glad he loves it there. He drags his monkey blanket everywhere he goes, squeals when he is happy, eats mainly meat and cheese, goes up and down stairs with assistance really well and waits for you to help him, climbs up the couch with help, dances, waves bye to everything but mainly vehicles, uses a fork and spoon to eat, a momma's boy =), answers Yes to questions and means it, knocks on the doors, points and says dog to the dogs, LOVES trucks, dogs, and balloons, sits on everything from toys to the dogs to me.

He loves to climb into the car and play with the steering wheel.

Opens the door to the shower and sticks his arms in to feel the water.

He loves to eat ranch and dips everything in ranch or fry sauce if given the opportunity.

We went to the Iron County Fair derby and had a great time. They even had trucks compete and they were the best event out of the whole thing.

 We had our annual trip to Tuacahn and had a great time. Swimming in the pool, shopping, eating, and going to see The Wizard of Oz.  Gage sort of enjoyed the pool.  I definitely need to take him to the pool more often. The play was really good.  Gage went to the daycare they had there and it was super nice.  It was so hot outside since we went in August and the daycare was nice and cool.  They had a really nice system that if they needed you for anything they could get a hold of you. I got to see an old friend Stephanie and she looked great and it was so nice to catch up with her.  The play was great but it was a little long for me since I was missing Gage so much. Before the play the kids got their pictures taken and it was pretty funny that Gage was Dorthy.  Everyone there laughed when they saw him. The time went by way too fast as always and I can't wait for next time. Thank you mom for always taking us there.

Duchesne County Fair 2014

Gage and I went to the County Fair again this year and Kyle planned on joining us at the end of the week.  We had a lot of fun being spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa Bleazard. He loved being able to go outside and play on the grass, play with the kittens, and with the car. He couldn't wait to go outside.  He also had a great time with all the cousins.  He had his first popsicle and LOVED it. I got to go to the talent show with Becca and Molly while Gage stayed home with grandma. 

 On Thursday Kyle surprised us by showing up way earlier than expected.  He left work early and drove the motorcycle all the way from Cedar to Duchesne and made it in time for the derby.  It was a good derby too and Gage had fun again staying with Grandma and Grandpa being spoiled rotten =)  On Saturday we went to Be a Farmer for a Day and played all the games and got some yummy treats. Then we went to the petting zoo and rode on a "train". Gage was in heaven.  After that we went to the car show and had lunch and then went to the carnival and Gage got to ride on carousel.  I think it kinda scared him but he eventually liked it.  Then it was off for home to have a nap before it rained again.

We went to the parade and again got LOTS of candy and Gage got a flag and has loved it ever since.  He has even slept with it in his crib. Then he went home with Grandma and Kyle and I  went to the rodeo.

We had a great time as always at the fair and was glad Kyle was able to come and spend some time with us. Until next time!

24th of July

We went to the parade in Enoch for the 24th of July.  It was fun to see the community out there and watch the floats go by.  Gage got lots of candy and even got a shirt that someday he will fit into =) Kyle bought pop its and showed Gage how they worked.  He seemed to enjoy them.

After the parade we went to a rodeo and on the way Gage tried on my sunglasses.  He now likes to put sunglasses on and off. He really likes the rodeos and seeing all the animals. 

14 months old

 This handsome fellow is 14 months old.  He LOVES to go outside any chance he gets, he will find his shoes and bring them to you so that he can go outside.  He likes to head butt mom (which he gets in trouble for), He has 6 teeth 4 on top and 2 on the bottom. His favorite books are Sesame Street Bubbles Bubbles and Peek a Who,  He knows the words Outside, come here, bedtime, daycare, juice, and water means.  He takes his shoes off in the car, likes to dance which he spins around and claps his hands, and plays with his trucks and makes the sounds with them. He is so much fun and it is so much fun to watch him grow and explore things.  He still LOVES his dogs and they still don't love him back but Jaxsen is getting better and letting him touch him.

Someday they will be best friends =)

He likes to cook with me and so I give him a bowl with water in it and he has a blast.

He is "tasting" the property marker.

LOVES his binky!!

He loves to ride in his toy train.
