"My First Fourth"

Happy Independence Day!

Christopher had a pretty good first 4th of July. It would have been much better if it hadn't been so hot. We started off the day with a fabulous photo shoot. I love taking pictures of Christopher. I love all the funny faces he makes and he has started to put his hands on his head or face a lot lately and it is so cute! Then we went to our ward breakfast at the stake presidents ranch. It actually wasn't technically a "ward breakfast" because there were a lot of people just from the town there as well as our stake. It was a huge breakfast with a great presentation at a beautiful place. Then we came back and took a nap and instead of going to the pool like we should have done on the very hot day, we went to baker park here in Frederick for the 4th of July festival. Bad idea! It was miserably hot! It would have been great if the weather was nice. I love walking around festivals and seeing all the cool stuff. So we came back home tired from being in the heat for only an hour and cooled off before heading to a friends house for a small BBQ and fireworks.
Funny  note: if you looked to the left of CJ in the picture you can see my footprint in the blanket. Hehe.

Great presention

Beautiful place. This was taken after most everyone had left so you can't tell that there were around 300 people at this event.



So tired after a long day holiday!!

My Baby Boy is 3 Months!

The past month has flown by, which is surprising because CJ and I have mostly been lounging around the house because it has been too hot to even go to the mailbox. CJ and I have a blast together all day though. I love hanging out with him all day. 

Here are some things Christopher has been up to the past month:

*Chewing on his hand and occasionally finding his thumb and sucking on it
*Rolling over from his tummy to his back
*As of last week, rolling from his back to his side
*Smiling when the dogs come give him a kiss on his toes or nose
*Smiling and cooing at mommy all day long, and daddy when he is home
*He loves to "talk" to daddy when he gets home
*Kicking his legs like crazy!
*He loves looking at his books and toys and occasionally getting a hold of his toys
*Sitting up is his favorite, supported by me or his bumbo of course.
*He finally loves his swing and sleep in it during the day, otherwise I have to been holding him in order for him to sleep during the day. (which I usually don't mind because I know his snuggles will only last so long)
*He hates his carseat! If we are continually moving in the car he is sometimes okay, but once we stop...the screaming begins. :(
*Loves bath time. Kicks and splashes like crazy in it.
*Holds onto his hair with his left hand and sucks on his right hand when he is tired. This is my new favorite thing that he does. :)
*Still waking up about two or three times a night to eat
*Eats every 3-4 hours






Growing Boy!

He does this a lot when he is tired. So cute! He has been discovery his hands a lot this past month.


Not a very clear picture, but he is holding his hair with his left hand and sucking on his right hand :)
 
 
Loves his Bumbo


It looks like he is laughing but really no sound comes out yet. :)

Loves his Daddy!

Going swimming for the first time. He loved it! I didn't get a picture with him in the pool because I went by myself. Next time Jeff will come and I'll get a picture.
Silly Boy!!
