Clapping Boy

Tonight we were just sitting here, and I looked over at Kyler and he started clapping! I was excited!! He has done it all night and won't stop. Its so cute!!

I thought I had posted this! And when I got on today it wasn't so here it is now.

TEN MONTHS!

Holy Cow, I can't believe my little guy is 10 months old. Its freaking me out that in less than two months he'll be a year old. He has been so vocal lately and makes the cutest sounds. He will laugh at anything, and is smiling constantly. He is doing the army crawl now. And he loves to dance!! If there is any music and sometimes even if there isn't music he will start to rock back and forth. He loves all his stuffed animals lately and will just laugh at all them all the time. We'll wake upto him in the morning just gooing and laughing in his crib. I always start to laugh when I hear him. He doesn't like me feeding him lately. He wants to do it himself. He sure makes a mess though, I try to help him get the food on the spoon and then he puts it in his mouth. He will try to pick up anything that has spilt on the tray. He still loves his walker, and is getting so fast in it. Within seconds he'll be right behind, he scares me all the time because I won't hear him come up behind me. He is just over 23&1/2lbs, and I haven't measured him for his height. He is starting to move into the 18month clothing. 12 month stuff still fits him pretty well, but some of his shirts are getting shorter on him. There are a ton of pictures of him this month, and two videos of him dancing. Most of them are off my camera so some are blurry.

Sorry this one is sideways, I forget my phone doesn't rotate them to be the right direction.

This post has taken me days to finally get done!! But here it is, hope it all makes sence.

New Blog

As I mentioned before I am dieting. I came across Myfitnesspal on my phone and then found out they have a website. I absolutely love it!! I have made some good friends on there all ready, and some of them suggested I create a blog to tell about my weight loss and the things I'm doing to loss the weight. So I did it. I'm very pleased with my weight loss this far and am getting use to my workouts and new eating habits. Hoping this will keep going like it is!! If you wanna follow my new blog let me know and I will let you know how!

Valentine's Day

We've had a great Valentine's Day today. JJ and I did our date on Saturday, since he has a test tomorrow and needed to study plus work. So we haven't done much today. On Saturday we went to Olive Garden to eat. Its one of our favorite place's to go when we can. After eating our yummy food, we just went to a few stores. It wasn't an exciting date, but it was nice to get out just the two of us. Today we've just been relaxing with Kyler and playing games. It almost as felt like Christmas in our house the past few days. We got our taxes back and so we been getting things we've needed and a few wants. JJ finally got his Wii & Wiifit with a bunch of games. Which we both have been enjoying. The camera I got for Christmas wasn't what we expected it to be, so we sent it back and got a different one. And this one is amazing! 14mps, and 24x optical zoom. Needless to say its takes excellent pictures. Now the pictures below I was doing alot with the camera to figure out all the options and settings so some look better than others. We finally ordered our table too, and I can't wait to get it, plus a new vacuum which we needed desperately. JJ also surprised me with roses, he's such a sweetheart!! They are so pretty. We decided to give Kyler a little valentine too. He got his PJ's which I've posted about earlier, and then he also got a stuffed lion and some movies. He absolutely loves the lion!! I personally think it isn't very cute, but he was with me when I got it and he picked it out from the two I showed him. He gets so excited when he sees it and starts shacking and grabbing for it. It's so cute!! Enjoy the pictures, and Happy Valentines Day!!!

Giving his lion kisses!

Tied to the side was 2 eternity rings!! They are beautiful and I love them!

Finally Some Smiling Pictures!!

These were taken later in the day than the last ones I posted, but I finally got some of him cheesing it up. As you go down they get better. I sure love this little guy. He now has 5 teeth!! And the sixth isn't to far behind. They're the ones on the bottom, not sure of the names. He sure is starting to get a mouthful of teeth. He has also been alot more vocal since we got rid of those horrible ear infections. We went down to the Provo area this weekend, JJ's cousin just got home from a mission and his other cousin went through the temple. On the way down Kyler sang to the radio it was so cute. He is an excellent traveler, hopefully that will still be the case this summer when we go on vacation. Anyways enjoy the pictures...

The Walker

I've been wanting to get Kyler a walker for a few weeks, and today I broke down and bought one!! He loves it. I was nervous about buying one because I didn't now how tall they go upto. So I figured I'd just get one and try it. Luckily it works! I was hoping to find one that was a bit more neutral but I fell in love with this one, the seat is so cute. It's jungle animals in bright squares since you can't really see it. He is also saying mama, at least when he wants. He won't say it when you are saying it and he knows you want him to. He also makes this cute little popping sound with his lips, I just love it. I had tried to put some videos on the other day of him laughing, fake coughing, and squealing, but they were taking forever to load. I did get the one of him in his walker today because I took it on my phone. As you will also see my baby once again being camera shy in the pictures.

As for me and JJ not to much is new. JJ started the new semester of school a few weeks ago and likes the classes he is taking alot more than the ones he took last semester. He is just going and going all the time. He is so awesome!! We also were able to file our taxes and are so pleased with our return, it was alot more than what I was expecting. That will definitely help with somethings we want to do this year. Also, I finally got motivated to start dieting again. I wouldn't call it a new years resolution though since I didn't start till 3 weeks after the New Year. I am quite happy with myself its been 8 days and I've lost 14 pounds. I've only cheated once, but still didn't come close to my daily calories. And yes counting calories is annoying, but thankfully our new phones have an app. that you just put in what you ate and your exercises and it calculates it all for you!! I did decide today that I need to be eating a few more calories I've looked at the past week and was shocked at how low some days were. I am getting help from my doctor, he was the one that put me on the plan and to keep me motivated he is having me come in every month to weigh and talk about what happened through the month. When I went in and decided to start he told me he wants the weight coming off slow and steady, so not like this week. So I figure for the next three weeks I'm still going to eat healthy but just try to eat a few more calories, so its not like I'm starving my body. I'm also very excited because my wonderful husband, let me buy an ab glider and another glider that is like a gazelle from what I've seen. They were on sale at ridiculously low prices, that's probably why he didn't mind. lol. I'm hoping to get them in a week, and so can't wait to have something different to do than the elliptical. So that's the happenings with us for the week.

Shopping Adventure

Yesterday I decided to go over to Logan with JJ. He has class, but me and Kyler went shopping. We first went to Walmart. I had to get a prescription filled and while I was talking to the pharmacist, Kyler sat and flirted with this pregnant lady who was just in love with him. And went on and on about how cute he was. We went looking around while they were filling it, and he decided he wanted to hold my hand the whole time. So as we were walking around another pregnant girl and her mother walked by us and commented on how cute he was and how adorable it was that he was holding my hand. She was having a boy to in about a month and couldn't wait. After I got my prescription and checked out we went over to Kohl's. I've been wanting to get Kyler some pj's Carter makes for Valentines day and St. Patrick's day. Knowing how fast they sell I knew I was going to be lucky if they had them. I was able to get the St. Patrick's Day set and bib, but only the bib for Valentines day. I also got the Birthday day boy one because they were all on sale. I got up to the check out stand and a lady that was in line started playing with Kyler and then looked at me and asked if I had a coupon I was going to use. I said no, and then she gave me one for 30% of. She said, "You young moms can use the help every once in awhile." It made my day!! I saved like $40 there. I then decided to go to Old Navy and check out their Valentines Day stuff, and sure enough I found a set for him I loved. They are rearranging the store a little bit so I had to ask a lady that worked there were they were and she took me right over. Well sure enough Kyler gave her a big smile and she sat and wanted to play with him for a while. Its been the first time in quite awhile since I took Kyler shopping with me, so the people coming up and telling me his so cute is a new thing to me. It was nice to hear though, and I even saved money because of him. When we checked out at Old Navy they gave Kyler a sucker, and he was in heaven. I've never given him suckers or candy before so he was in love. We headed back up to get JJ and when I parked I looked back and Kyler was asleep with blue slobber all over his face. It was so cute!! So I of course snapped some pictures of him. It was such a fun day with my little boy, it seems like its been forever since I got out of the house to just go shopping instead of grocery shopping. Thanks to the lady that gave me the coupon and one I had for Old Navy the things I got Kyler only came to $20!! Which is such a deal on Carter's clothing. I can't wait for spring either, both Old Navy and Kohl's had such cute clothes out.

JJ called him Smurf Boy for the rest of the day!!

I love his little puckered lips in this one!!
I'm hoping this one will fit him where they only had it in a 12 month. He's between 12 and 18 months right now, so I might have to get crafty.

This makes me sad to think his Birthday is in less than 3 months.I just can't believe it!!
