More fun pictures of my sweet little boy....







Happy 20th Chace!

Everyone just chillin' after dinner.
Me and my sexy husband!
Poor Tobi hadn't napped AT ALL that day and was SUPER fussy.

Chace and Ricky inspecting the birthday goods. :)

Saturday was Chace's birthday and we were invited over to his new place for a party. My parents made homemade fried rice, so I added Sean and Brynn's egg rolls and then made a super yummy chocolate raspberry trifle for his birthday cake. He and Ricky had reserved the clubhouse at their complex and that's where we had dinner. We also watched a movie in their super cool movie room, complete with a massive theater screen and super comfy couches and chairs. He had a really good birthday and it was really nice having the whole family together to celebrate, now that we're growing in numbers it's getting harder and harder to get everyone together.


Happy Birthday Chace! We love you!

Two Months!!

How cute is he?
He makes me laugh so hard...he's so fun!
I call this the..."Jeez mom, have we taken enough pictures yet?"

He is so happy, I love it!

I really don't know why he looks so worried, his pictures always come out super cute.

My sweet baby boy is two months today! I can't believe it's been two whole months already. The time flies by SO fast. He is so much fun and I absolutely adore him. He's so sweet with his daddy and it's obvious he adores Jordan. And Jordan is SOOO good with him. He's such a fantastic dad and I'm so excited to see what the future will bring for us and our new little family. Tobi is sleeping so good at night and he is now getting up only twice in the night...that's right! Two months = two times in the night.....I love it.

Here's to hoping that by the time we hit three months, he's sleeping through the night. Auntie Brynn tried him in his crib today for the first time and he loved it. I'm not sure yet if it was the crib, or his fabulous Auntie Brynn...guess we'll know the second time around on the crib eh? He has his next well child appointment on the 21st of January so more updates will be coming!

Tobi talk

I was filming him yesterday because he was just being so cute and when I played back the recording, Tobi got all excited and coo'ed and kicked his legs. He kept doing it every time I played what I recorded and I realized he liked hearing himself on the camera! It was too funny, he's such a cute little boy.

Happy New Year!




We were invited to Sean and Brynn's house for New Year celebrations again this year. We love spending the New Year with them. Sean made a super yummy clam chowder and Brynn made a delicious chili...we ate way more than we should have! We met Steve and Kara and their super cute little girl, Kirstyn. I also got to meet Bula and Kelly. We left early because Tobi was a little fussy and we wanted to get him in bed on time. We got him into his penguin pajammies and he snuggled with Daddy for a bit before going to bed right on time at 10:30. He then slept for almost six hours, which was a first and a great way for us to bring in the New Year. We're hoping he'll be sleeping through the night here in another four weeks or so.
Welcome 2010!


One Exhausted Baby




I found these pictures on my camera today, I had totally forgot about them! This was about three or four weeks ago, he had a tummy ache and had just finished a huge crying meltdown and then fell asleep. His binkie fell out but was still pressed agaisnt his lips...it was so funny. Poor little guy.

A typical day...


Tobi and I are doing so great! Every day gets easier and more fun. He's such a happy baby and I feel so blessed. He goes to bed around 10:30 every night and sleeps until about 2:30-3:00am. We change his diaper, feed him and he goes right back to sleep. Then he's usually up again around 6:00am and then again around 8:00 or 9:00 and then he's awake for the day. He's getting to be much more aware and alert of everything around him. He likes to lay flat on our bed and he'll kick his legs and play. He sits and coo's and makes his cute little noises and he's good as gold. He doesn't nap as good during the day, he likes to take lots of little cat naps instead of a couple really long naps, hopefully that will change when he gets bigger.

He's starting to enjoy his swing a lot more and he hardly ever gets tummy aches anymore. I can't believe how easy he's been these days. He still has rough days where he gets fussy, but they are getting fewer and fewer. It's so nice. He's adorable with Jordan and he grins a lot now. Real grins, not the gassy ones, it's so fun! He's doing better with his baths too. My aunt told us to try getting a hand towel wet and laying it on top of him during his bath....he loves it! He's so calm and he actually enjoys his baths now and so do we.

He's funny when we're changing his diaper, he doesn't scream anymore for one thing. But he does this thing now where he lifts his legs as if to help us out, it's so cute. He adores his Grandma and Grandpa Olson. You can see it on his face when they're around, he's so happy. I love watching them with him. They both adore him and I'm so glad. He's definitely one pampered little boy. My mom is constantly buying things for him. She went with me to Babies R Us the other day, I had to pick up a bottle warmer for us to use at night, and I ended up leaving with a nifty little bath seat, new blankets, a new binkie attachment, and a bunch of bibs all paid for by Grandma. :) Then yesterday she came home with a Graco Pack N Play...which we needed...and Tobi loves it, he does so good in it.

His hair is still crazy and uncontrollable and makes me laugh all the time. He's just so cute and his personality is starting to shine and I love it. Being a mom is great, especially when you have a little boy as good and sweet as mine!
