Relaxin

Today we've just been taking it easy and relaxing as a family. I love capturing every moment I can (when our stupid camera works with us). These are the moments I cherish and love Its not everyday Makayla will snuggle, so it was so nice falling asleep with her
I just love this girl and her cute smile. She is my real life doll

We are going to be in big trouble in our future. She is way too gorgeous! I don't know how we are going to keep the boys away.

So Many Changes!!!

So today Makayla turned 4 months old! Time is really flying by. We took her to the doctor and she now weighs 13 lbs 2 oz and she is 25 in a half inches long. She is in the 85th percentile for her length. I knew she was going to be a tall girl!! Just this week she has changed so dramatically.

1. She can grab her toys and stick them straight in her mouth
2. she can take her pacifier our of her mouth and on occasion she can put it right back in.
3.she grabs for people faces. She tries to touch our nose, eyes and mouth.
4.She will watch baby Einstein movies. Well only half, but hey that's a start.
5.She is much more alert when we hold her she can support herself pretty dang good.
6.she rolls over constantly. The second we put her on her back, she flips over to her belly
7.she can seriously almost crawl. She gets her knees and arms up, but cant really get the motion down yet. She will either just roll over on her side or she will shoot herself forward, but we are guessing she'll be crawling here in the next couple weeks!
8. Today the doc said we can start feeding her rice cereal!! yay so we had so much fun feeding her cereal for the first time.

Our baby is growing up and changing so much! She's a little confused if she likes it or not, but it was fun watching her. And look at her gorgeous eyes! uh I cant get enough of her!

When we went to Cali, my mom bought a Johnny Jumper and she really liked it. She mainly twirled in it, but she still had a pretty good time in it as long as someone was around to watch her. If no one is around her nothing is fun to her.

Happy Fathers Day

Today is Roberts first fathers day. As these 4 months have passed since Makayla has been here, I have been able to see how much more loving and giving Rob has become. He really enjoys being a dad and its still so crazy knowing we have a baby. Today is really a special day and one he will never have again and I know he is definitely enjoying it. We got our recliner yesterday right in time for fathers day and man is Robert happy today. All day he's been telling me how all he wants to do is sit on his thrown (recliner) =) and have me cater to his every need, which I am doing. He demanded that we all take a nap today which him and Makayla are doing right now, but...I decided to blog instead. I'll probably join them later. Seeing Robert and the way he is with our little girl is just about as rewarding as being a mother myself. He is an amazing dad and husband. We love him so much and were so thankful to have him in our lives. I love you honey!

Our friends came over for dinner last night and they brought Rob this basket. The fries are made of sugar cookies and the hamburger is made our of sweets too. The bun is a cupcake cut in half, the lettuce, ketchup, and mustard is frosting and the meat is a brownie. How sweet and thoughtful that was. Thank so much Sarah and Jake we love you guys!

Here's Rob enjoying his hamburger and fries!




My dad is an amazing man! He has taught me so much in my life. He's not a man of many words, but his actions have always shown more than his words could ever. He's so loving and kind. He is someone I have looked up to since forever. He was bishop when I was a little girl for 8 years and even though he was so busy going to work, helping people in the ward and coming home dealing with 5 crazy kids, he still made time to teach and play with us. I remember being so young and when dad came home all I wanted to do was for him to pick me up and throw me in the air. He was one of the funniest guys I knew. As I turned a teenager I became a total self absorbed brat. We didn't have the best of relationships, but who could blame him with the way I was. Although I was not doing things he could be proud of, he loved me through it all. He continued to try to show me he loved me and I know that had to have been tough. I want to thank him for everything he has done for me. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong and for being my loving dad through all my bad times. I love you so much dad!!!

Fun Utah Trip

This weekend our niece Taya was blessed so Makayla and I were lucky enough to be there. Rob couldn't make it since he had to work, and of course we missed him like we always do when we have to leave him, but we had such a great time. It was the first time I got to meet cheeks (taya) and she is just the cutest thing. I also got to spend the weekend with my brother and 2 nephews and it was their first time meeting Makayla, so it was a pretty special weekend for us. Robs parents were there and it was so great seeing them with all three of their grandchildren. I'm glad to be back...well for at least 1 night since tomorrow I'm heading down to Cali for my sisters wedding, we have been so busy lately with all our traveling and even though we have been having a blast, I think I'll be happy when things start settling down and we can relax at home. Robs parents with Makayla and Taya.

my brother and nephews love mnm. My nephews call her mnm's like the candy since they forget what her name is. They are too cute!

the top left pic is of mnm, cheeks and their great grandma Jensen. Grandma Jensen made them these adorable hats. The top right is of my two nieces and my baby. I love them all so much. Man I think Makayla needs a tan! =)

More Photo Shoot Fun!

I love her feet and had to get some snaps of them while they are still little. And of her tiny hand holding daddy's. Precious

Makayla being so sweet. We call her our little rolly poly, she is rolling all and scooting all over the place. She will be crawling in no time

I found this fun basket that I put her blankets in, and I had to take some pics of her in it. I roll her around in it and she loves it!

Yes we pulled out the jumper. I cant believe she is big (just barely) enough to fit in it. She actually likes it and she does play with the toys. She is getting so big.
