RIP

Tanners grandmother passed away on Tuesday afternoon. So in memory of Loretta, a wonderfully hysterical and kind-hearted woman I'd like to just post a quick blog in honor of her. She was so quirky and fun and always very, very kind to people. She dedicated her life to serving others and made sure that anybody who needed anything had it. She ran so many help groups in Payson, AZ and truly had a wonderful giving heart. She was a one of a kind woman and a fabulous grandma to Tanner. In the short years that I knew her she also became a grandmother to me and we will all miss her terribly. We love you, Grandma!

I Can Do!

My friend Adrian did this and I thought it was a fabulous idea so I'm stealing it.

At Four Months I Can...

*Sit up all by myself for several minutes

*Eat very well from a spoon

*Drink water from my sippy cup

*Push up on my knees

*Switch toys from hand to hand

*Steal mommy's cell phone from her

*Stand up holding on to mommy's hands

Love, Caleb

Sleeping Like Mommy:

Little Cutie

Doobie Doobie Doobie Doo

I just finished reading the series (or as much of the series as there is): The House of Night. The ideas behind the stories were enthralling however, the writing left much to be desired. But all in all, the stories were entertaining and I’ll be reading the fourth one when it comes out in September so I suppose that’s the bottom line. If anyone out there has any book recommendations I would appreciate it! I’m out of ideas of what to read next.
I really need to start working on my coding classes. I signed up and did the first exam within a few days but that’s all I’ve done since. Granted, there’s no particular rush but still…it would be nice to get them done!

My little monster is getting so big. It’s hard to believe he is 4 ½ months already! He is sitting up by himself (in small increments but he’s doing much better than anyone would have thought) and just a social little butterfly. He’s still working on his teeth and has moved on to solid food. He loves his veggies which makes mommy proud! :D He is trying his own little attempt at crawling but still hasn’t mastered it. I want him to because I know that he’ll just love being mobile but I don’t want him to because I can just imagine the chasing I’ll be doing…but really, I should just get used to it, huh!? He can get up on his legs and he can get his arms straight and lift his chest really high but he can’t quite figure out how to do both at the same time so it’s really cute to watch him struggle with it! Anyways, at his four month well child he was 27.25 inches long (over 95th percentile) and 15lbs12oz (I think…but I know he was 50-75th percentile). He was given another stamp of approval!

My baby sister officially starts ASU on Monday. I cannot believe it! It’s so bizarre for me to have my Roni Bologna going to college. But I’m immensely proud of my baby sister! I love her to pieces and couldn’t be happier for her! Go Devils Gymnastics!

Well, I’m at work and should probably go back to uh…working ;)…I’ll blog later and perhaps add some additional pictures of my cutie pie.

Sitting UP!

Ants in My Pants

I literally had ants in my pants last night.

Fun, no?

Happy Birthday!

HAPPY 4 MONTH BIRTHDAY, MY SON! Today Caleb is four months (already)!! He is growing like a weed and we are really starting to see what a cute little personality he has! A tooth has popped through and he absolutely loves attention. Anyone that walks by and pays him the least bit of attention is rewarded with a huge smile! He also has discovered how to scream his excitement! He has a jumper-roo and is figuring how to use it. He just loves it! It's so fun to watch him discover how things work and see what a smart little boy he is developing to be! Friday is his 4 month WCE and that means more shots! :( I'm not looking forward to them but our friend, Briana, is the one doing the shots so for that I am thankful!

I finished "Breaking Dawn" (Stephenie Meyer's Twilight Series) today. It was mostly everything I expected and so I am happy for that. I am sad because it wasn't everything I wanted but oh well, books that you don't write yourself rarely can be. Perhaps that will be incentive for me to do my own? Ahhh, well we shall see about that one. ;)

Okay, well I must be going so we can get the Monster Butt home and into bed!

Hope everyone has a great MONDAY!
